This was.an interesting read and brings two questions to my mind. First, what AI are you using and did you air gap it? Have you found it difficult to maintain? 

Second, have you found anything significant with respect to short term snowfall forecasting?

Hey Joe - I am using Claude which does not run locally so no air-gapped environment. Regarding snow I just started the model up 3 days ago so we will see when we get to winter.

Widespread low to mid 50's across the county this morning with the lowest the 51.2 at Warwick. Another beautiful day on tap today with highs per our ChescoWx Model in the mid 70's with the NWS seeing upper 70's. The NWS sees 80's starting tomorrow through the next week while ChescoWx keeps East Nantmeal just shy of 80’s both tomorrow and Thursday before falling back to the mid 70's both Friday and Saturday. Rain chances to increase by Thursday before we clear out on Friday.

Got down to 57F this morning.  That was nice.

We may not hit 90F for the rest of the season? Overnight lows in the 50s are super nice...

74F/DP 62F

Kinda ironic that Dolly Parton passes and the next named storm is Dolly. 

 

Doncha think?

It’s been nice these last few days to stand up or floss or change the channel and not break out in a sweat.
