Meh... this is how the hemisphere seasonally sheds its therms, though.

I.e, longer nights, ideal radiative transfer into free space. Then, with ensuing diurnal insolation being insufficient to add as much energy as the energy that is lost, there is a net cooling in the ambient space.  This principle makes me less objectively willing to call anything fake.

I get what that means ... I guess I just don't agree in belittling it. 

My druthers aside, these "fake cold" nights take their toll.  More of them as the sun slopes deeper by day, and the nights get yet longer and longer;  the cold battery of the winter hemisphere is gaining charge. More proficiently N than S, of course, until the build up becomes significant.

 

The loss of "fake cold" is how the majority of CC manifests...and we know how very real that phenomenon is.

Why then do I have mosquitoes almost every Christmas eve?

Don't accept next time Scooter invites you over for nude holiday twister.

I really miss the change of seasons.
My nightmare will soon be over. I'm only going to get about 1/2 the going market price. SCREWED!
A plan I've started to seriously consider is leaving everything possession wise, buying a RV and travel till end of days.

No it isn't; complete conspiracy

impressive to see a 27 F recovery by 11am ... That's a lot. Might be the most explosive diurnal turn around (rate of change) we've seen in some time.  We could make 60, which put this in contention for biggest spread, too.

That's not what the yellow jackets say. They're all over the place today.

Yeah, yellow jackets likely to remain out and about until December these days. Until we can string 3-4 days of consistent cold together, they will not hibernate

I think initially they are disregulated by the cold, so they get frantic....kind of like torchtiger...he races around to troll every thread wwith haste a the first signs of seasonal change.

Nothing new with those bastards after a hard freeze.  Its panic time

[CoastalWx]

Mosquitoes come out in November still lol. Although a hard freeze will kill them off somewhat.

 

37 here, but frosty down the hill.

Lots more "fake" readings in SNE than the "real" ones like Mt. Tolland.  Maybe the hills are really the "fake" places.

Low of 25 here with thick frost and 1/16" ice on the washtub.
