I was up there last weekend, very dull and yellowy brownish

Speaking for my area in SVT, its drastically different from just 5-6 days ago. Nothing last weekend, but changing quickly each day.

that Euro run's a riot...  

that is how you run a persistent ridge - holy hell..   

funny thing is, it's not really even that warm here in this part of the country.  oh it's abv normal - it almost has to be in that overall look.  but,  the model is doing what the summer verified: some how some way finds little perturbations to grind through the flow just enough to keep the warmth banal compared to what the pattern "could" do. 

....true, although, no one would argue about the SE Canada summer trough plague ... we had about five episodes with ridging that lasted two to three days a stint over the summer - none of them got as hot as the heights would have allowed the thickness to expand within.  it actually was like that last summer too; interestingly, whether the respective year's patterns resembled one another or not.  it's been a weird emergent property of off-set behavior there - that will be the day that prediction science in weather really takes the big next leap forward, heh, and that's discovering the "sub-space" layer of physics that is wholly annoying for its intent.  

just kidding, but, there has been an emergent tendency to offset warmth.   that is also happening in spite of the background GW thing... too.  i had mused a couple of times in the past, and even demoed charts and graphs ... how NASA has reported every month as being globally averaged out warmer than the preceding, spanning some two years of months.  like 24 and counting ... literally too.  this at the tail end of the last 20 year of 23 degree upward slope toward climate doom... etc etc.  yet, despite those realities, we've had a relative off-set cool region in our part of the globe.  it's been relatively fixed ... a region bounded from roughly the D. Straight region to the Lakes to NE ... sort of wobbles around month to month but even in our warmest, it's never far from our region.  

i find it fascinating to see that/know that is the case, and then in a completely unrelated mean and method, we observe model solutions like the last night's 50,000 foot inferno that is pocked by daily shallow bs that sticks autumn heads in the sands of delusion.  

and that's the other sort of insidious nature to all of it... we, here, in the good old U.S. of .A, "used" to be one of the, if not most, influential political engines in the greater ambit of international relations, among those nations feared.  Of course.. Trump took office and we're probably eroding much more of that merit than we are collectively aware ... but, that's also all a fairly recent toxicology in the global political landscape.  anyway, it seems kind of ironic to me that the one country with perhaps the more momentous say ... or 'clout' in consortium, is being protected (in a sense) from having to see the better part of valor by that weird persistence. 

i have an idea for sci-fi novel... well, maybe fantasy-sci-fi hybrid, starring Gaia as throwing her/his/its hands, and going, welp, if i can't get through to them, i'll wipe them out but hiding the impacts of their douchery from those that have any wherewithal to do anything about it.  maybe that book ends with a "burning bush" hehheh.  I like that. 

anyway, we've perhaps made up for lost exposure to the "perceived" perils of GW just in this recent month or two...because the "Great Industrial Media Complex" is in a present hot-house feverish fake-news-sensationalism debate over whether Henry, Irma, Jose and Maria .. were some how boosted by the changing environment.  possible? sure..  not that anyone asked but personally i don't believe GW has "as" much to do with them, or at least suspect that it has less than the media is using to attract fearing reader dollars.  

quick geophysical sciences primer:  gradient drives everything in the atmosphere. without it, the air does not blow from point A to point B.  if the whole atmosphere, up down, left right, in three dimensions, is whole-scale warmer, than the gradients don't change.  i'm not sure how that basic logic is reconciled in that super-storm debate, but i'm intrigued at the scientific prospect for discovery there.  i think, rather, this year was a lottery winning for storm porn.  several factors parlayed favorably; part of that winning meant several intense majors in the Basin, that happened to hit us... or hit land anyway.  part of that winning meant that the one year when there was a record number of top tier torque'es ... they just happened to strike civility.  i'd like to see this repeat...

i guess if lewd frequency happens again next year...and the year after... or if ever the global tele's fade and it still happens despite those signals indicating the opposite "should have", etc etc... okay. but then, is it too late?  the very aspect of the Scientific process that requires we actually not rely on fake news and turn to analytics to ferret out the effects of GW (gathering empirical data in order to prove it's related to this storm prurience) is also about the same amount of time it takes to cross the threshold of "too late" ....  Ha, it's like the train going off the cliff to prove the train is going to go off the cliff - the result supersedes the purpose of the investigation.

Some red maples have really popped in the past 2-3 days, and the sugar maples are progressing toward that yellow-orange glow.

Light rain here in Augusta, the first actual raindrops I've seen in nearly 4 weeks.  We did get 0.04" in 2 days dz from Irma's remains.  Echoes suggest barely a ground-wetting at home.

i'm wondering if some sort of disease swathed through the tree-scape down this way ...  I have one of those 250 year old Sugar maples on my property line with the neighbors, and it's always turned at the same time...every year...right around Oct 10 - flushes over in three days with this exceptional orange illumination that almost hurts the eyes when peering up at it with the sun at your back.  the yard and the light passing through the windows on that side of the house ... you could read a book by the tepid yellow reflected light.

not this year... half the tree's leafs are down well prior to that date.  what remains is a hodgepodge of dullard green and browns mixed.  i'm wondering if there will be an orange flash at all this year.  weird.

The kbg I used to reseed sprouted about half inch then stopped. Looks good, but not growing. KBG grows slow but pretty sure it's due to lack of deep watering which I can't do

lol, I had to re read this as i thought you were growing KGB.
