Not being well versed in painters, I had to look him up. I probably saw him a couple of times on PBS back in the day, seems he was a good and inspiring teacher.
There was a cloud a few minutes before that image that was shaped exactly like a donut, but it morphed before I got a pic.
Been seeing a fair amount of lightning off to the south and southwest. Winds starting to pick up. Getting pretty stormy. Interesting way to start off this event!
Hearing a boatload of walnuts falling, I suspect by Wednesday they'll be just about all down. Bumper crop this year, and taking their time dropping.
Yeah, I read the warning for northern Delaware, and southwest Delco is included, although my point and click doesn't have a warning (yet).
Just finished mowing the back, just in time it looks like (plus it's dark now, lol).
Eta, got the warning.
That second batch looked vigorous for a bit, but it started dissipating before it got here. Received about 0.10" total from both showers. Sun is coming back out, but no rainbow this time.
Thanks, I appreciate that. I'm hoping the warm weather hangs on for another 10 days or so, once it turns it's pretty much game over at this time of year. One year I had frost blankets with heaters underneath (don't tell anyone lol), don't really want to repeat that experience.
It was mentioned in Mt. Holly's forecast discussion, but the meso models didn't nail the details so well. Got 1.15" here, plenty of thunder and lightning along with the sound of some grass seed getting washed down a hill, lol.
Getting some pretty vigorous action here with the reds on the radar moving in. Pouring, windy, thunder and lightning.
Eta under a severe t'storm warning now.
Lol, yup. As far as warm and humid goes, yup to that too. Just started prepping another area and my shirt is partially wet so far. Really not too bad though, at least it's not in the 80's. I've pretty much come to expect this kind of weather in September, but it would be nice if October had a boatload of days in the 60s.
Lol I'll be out there tonight with the fuzz lamp (aka the snow lamp in winter) looking for sprouts. Might be a day early or so but we'll see. Exciting times!
Looking at these charts, I would say that a chilly fall does not mean more snow. Neither does a warm fall apparently! This has been discussed before, but I'm not a fan of early winter weather because usually it evolves into a boring winter (exceptions to every rule of course!). Maybe do a chart of the fall temps preceding the snowier winters?
Glenmore has one year with a cool fall that precedes a snowy winter, 2013, but the other sites don't have 2013 anywhere in the top ten. No doubt there were some cool falls preceding a snowy winter, but mostly before my time it appears.
I was driving east on 322 in South Jersey today, and not being familiar with the area didn't realize we were getting near Mullica Hill. The damage to the trees and houses told the story pretty quickly. It was something to see.
