You miss the point. Chesaco said temps across his area were normal to below average in his COUNTY except for 1 location. You then start puling figures from locations 50-75+ miles away from Chester County with different elevations and proximity to large bodies of water. But he wasn't talking about any areas outside Chester County. But it gets worse. You obviously feel irresistibly compelled to dispute his statement of normal to a little below. So you change the discussion to median. Why? It's obvious to me. You're disseminating mundane information in a dramatic fashion to try to make it appear warmer than it really was. If your opinion is so correct, then you don't need to make things look warmer/dire. It was an average September temp-wise in Chester County, PA. Period! Can't it ever be that simple?

Way above normal? Harrisburg was +1.3 Hagerstown was +.1 Baltimore was +2.7 Philly was +1.5 Wilmington was +.5 Reading was +1.6 Those are nbd AN temps. He's close to Allentown. Closer than Bwi. So why didn't you pick that one???? Oh, I see, it was -.5. EDIT: I forgot to mention, there was 1 anomolous heat wave of 4 days. The rest of the month in all locations was BN on average.

Just don't bend over to pet the goat.

I was just bustin' your chops. Ashamed you wasted a post on it. They credit you 1 extra.

And to sum it all up in 4 words: "Paul Roundy says so"?

The consequences of the extra blocking shows up in the precip forecast.

Entire new run out on TT now. https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/?model=cansips&region=nhem&pkg=z500a&runtime=2023100100&fh=0

12z Gfs. All we need now is precip and a miracle.

Waiting for @brooklynwx99 to post the updated Cansips...and they better be good d@mnit!

Same Ocean!

Sadly, those days are long gone down there. I predict a tough rental season at OBX next year compared to 22 and 23. Otoh, it's not so bad if you can get a group of families into 1 house, but it's usually been my bright idea to go so I get stuck. Lol No more!

We went to Nags Head last month, which is our usual spot. But frankly, we took it off the list. They don't clean the houses anymore except for a cursory wipe down...no workers. Nice house and location, but $4800 for a week and all you get is a dirty house that smelled like somebody else's last night dinner was a let down. And when you leave, they give you first shot at renting the same week next year. Unfortunately, the price jumped to $6200/week!!! Apparently, this year didn't reflect higher mortgage rates and most of those places down there have adjustable mortgages. Honestly, good luck to them but I am not paying that much even if the place was perfect. Other houses I checked went up proportionately just as much.

Ahh, makes sense. I haven't been to OC since 2015 I believe. I have a law school buddy that lives in Salisbury, so we usually will visit he and his wife when were in OC. But since we got the place here, there was Covid and then a cluster of things that have kept us from traveling much, not that I like to travel. Pretty content not going anywhere actually. Lol

On the 1 hand that is surprising, but on the other it still is MD and they were pretty gung-ho with restrictions during rounds 1 and 2.

Hopefully it comes and goes fast. Good news is you should be in good shape into next year as it takes a while for the new strains to develop. Take care.

I'm sorry, but none of us knows with certainty who in this world does or does not have a bias or dog in the fight. Just sayin'.

I heard no because of new strain(s), but that came from the people who make $ on them.

Man I wish we could just lose the climate change discussions. There's a forum for it, and this one ain't it. But 1 prediction I'll make on the subject is that no opinions will change with further discussions.

Have a safe drive.

Here's an example of the problem with these publications. You don't know if you're getting the FULL story. Like I said, everybody in journalism has an agenda and "scientists" are on the take too. Not all of them, but nobody knows who is and who isn't. And you don't have to read the entire article, just what the Hopkins earth and climate scientist said to get the point. https://www.foxnews.com/us/california-scientist-left-out-full-truth-climate-change-wildfire-study-published

It's OK to believe these Gfs temps. I'm telling ya', I'm feeling this.

Like I posted earlier today I believe, none of the models showed this dip in 3.4 for with their September updates only 4 weeks ago. If you go back to the Cfs site linked below, it started to reflect a dip around the 8th of the month. It now has the dip and then a rebound, but only to a peak in December of around +1.75C on its monthly forecast and between +1.6-1.7 on the seasonal forecast. So if the Cfs has a better handle on things, it won't make super. Of course, the other models don't update daily like the Cfs so we'll never know if they would have seen the dip. Your favorite model apparently thinking it's forecasting for the planet Mercury, the BOM, missed it completely...even on its 9/23 forecast! https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/CFSv2/CFSv2_body.html

Nope.
