Sam, first week of October. Get ready.

It’s obvious to anyone who’s lived in the region a long time that it’s getting hotter in September, keep on snarking I guess. That’s what this board does best.

You're right, I made a spreadsheet of the changes- September is still one of the worst though. Met fall also extends until Dec. 31 now.

I just accept that met summer is now Jun 1 - Sept 30. I think BWI’s new 1991-2020 normal is almost two degrees warmer than 1981-2010 for September.

I didn't realize August was 6th hottest at BWI.

1.15” for the day so far. Not sure if that next batch around Piney Point is going to hit me or not.

You know it’s gonna be a bad winter when the first freeze contest isn’t even up yet.

Integrated Kinetic Energy (I think)? Which was ironic because I think Hurricane Ike was considered very high on this scale.

Shouldn’t we expect to see the same proportion of warned vs verified throughout the nation though? Unless the criteria for warning are different amongst NWS offices (they may be, idk).

Single digits killed one of mine in 2017-2018, but mine are much smaller. I imagine February 2015 would’ve wiped them all out. But yeah, I’ll take just an actual ground freeze at this point. Baby steps.

If you and I can ever get below 20 degrees and/or get more than 2” of snow in an event, that would put us ahead of the last two winters. I’m turning into Jebman- I just want deep cold at this point. If it’s not permanently killing my Camellia shrubs it’s not cold enough.

I got stung by a yellow jacket twice today. F*ck fall, I want a deep, hard freeze. Single digits. Kill every. single. bug.

I assume every system can deliver at least 4" of rain per hour in the new climate- myself and my neighbors always prepare accordingly. I've had nine of these events IMBY in the last six years. Now that its unfortunately happening in other areas maybe we'll see people recognize that none of this is normal.

Final total was only 0.81”. Did @EastCoast NPZ finally beat me this time?

LOL @ radar for SoMD. Winter is Coming.
