If one uses their extrapolative imagination, you can picture the MJO getting into a good spot for Christmas.
We need it to keep going aRoundy and aRoundy.
As for Marquette, I am wondering if the lake froze earlier/longer in the 60s, thus reducing snow totals. That said, the numbers for 65 and 66 are a bit odd, to say the least.
Wolfie, are you an educator, or were you a student at that time? Your post made me think of the oldsters (like myself) here, and it occurred to me we haven't heard from the big moose from Moosup lately. Ginswx (or whatever it is) where are you?
Yup, and that means another 40 days beyond that when it is darker than it is today. That means 80 days of darkness! We can only hope the models keep showing it.
It's the anniversary of Sandy. To my eye, there are far fewer leaves on the trees this year than there were in 2012, and that's without a big windstorm to hasten the process. Stein related? Cold nights?
Yes, the current pattern blows, unless you live in western Alaska. Maybe the pattern gets tired and flips for December. Until then, enjoy fall in the Carolinas!
