  1. I'm not sure I understand the part about the winds. Why did winds predominantly from the east (offshore) make Tampa relatively warmer than cities actually in the center of the peninsula, where I presume there would be the least moderation from the ocean?
  2. I have to admit I am curious, are the other Florida stations reporting similar records?
  3. Wow, that is unusual. Actually, I find it unusual in the first place that its previous record month was a June. I expect the vast majority of warmest months in the NH temperate zones are either July or August.
  4. Meanwhile, the flipside to our eternal ridge/warmth is eternal trough/cold in the upper Midwest/Canadian prairies. https://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-blogs/anderson/weekly-update-on-the-long-range-weather-pattern/70006203
  5. Do you mean warmest September on record, or warmest month PERIOD.
  6. Sorry I didn't see this question until today. I'm not sure if they drained the lake or just lowered the level. In any event, the dam held, although it was over-topped.
  7. Barring any future major rain, ended up with 8.28" from my PWS in Wilson.
  8. I think Solak is scarred because his location has apparently replaced wherever Shetley lives as the desert spot of the east. Seriously though, some folks in my hometown of Hope Mills are at risk of being flooded out for the second time in three years.
  9. My family lives in Hope Mills, in SW Cumberland county. Many of the houses around then got flooded out in Matthew but they were lucky. Hoping they make it through this one as well. One of my cousins's houses got completely flooded out. Took them months to recover. I would not be surprised if it happens again. Meanwhile, in Wilson, "only" 7.10 and a light drizzle now.
  10. Trying to look on the bright side, think of how miserable it would be if this ridge had set up shop in July. Likewise I would rather this happen now rather than in October. Going to the farm to pick out a pumpkin was less fun last year in the mid 80's with high humidity.
  11. Got a nice 0.91" overnight, first rain since 8/22, but it had been so wet before things were still doing okay. Now at 9.17" for the month, over 21" for July/August.
  12. 0.00 Saturday 0.51 Sunday 0.16 today Had rain 8 of last 9 days. Actually hoping for a bit of a break to dry out. Tomatoes in garden suffering from mold.
  13. 0.70" Today. 7.87" for the week. 9.86" since the big wet started (Sunday before last).
  14. What I can't wait for is December to come around again and the NAO to be nailed positive for three straight months, only for it to go negative in March.
  15. Yep, still neat to be sniffing the fumes that close. Can't manage that some Januaries.
  16. I know that this has been said before, and it adds nothing to the discussion, but where in the f*** was this in February?
  17. I'm interested to see if we can end up with March colder than February. We are off to a good start.
  18. I am even more hard core. I like cold, period. I prefer snow of course, but I will even enjoy the dreaded cold rain if that is all I can get. I am gleefully hoping that we have a cold dreary March to pay back all those who kept going on about how wonderful it was to have upper 70's in Feb. Does that make me a bad person?
  19. Is there something wrong with me that I relish the thought of all those who were relishing the early spring in February grumping their butts off?
  20. MA thread is currently pooping their pants at the thought of this being suppressed to the south of them. I would kind of hate that, though. Outside the Mountains, it's too late for us to do anything with this except get some cold rain, with maybe some wet flakes mixed in. I would almost rather throw it to them so they can actually do something with it.
  21. Anyone else up for a group intervention with winter? I for one am NOT ok with its new practice of taking the whole month of February off then trying to make up for it with "overtime" in March.
  22. The folks in the MA thread are going bonkers right now. Looks like the potential for a significant event for them. I am rooting for them.
  23. This just bums me out. We could have some historic March bomb that drops 30" on us and I wouldn't be able to fully enjoy it.
  24. Aren't weak Nino's statistically good for us (or at least less bad).
