Yep, we tried to tell them yesterday.

Looks like a two day mild down before the equinox before we warm again. We embrace the warmth.

Hopefully that rain Sunday morning works out and doesn’t end up  a S coast special

0.74” overnight. We take.

Muggy this morning. Min of 65°

Not 100% from the migraines so still limiting screen time. I’ll try to tackle PM responses when I can.

Looks like the ridge is finding a new home just in time for winter

No, it may be above normal, but it won’t be a “torch”.

[Layman]

A soaking 0.15" here that should allow the lawn to continue to curl up and burn.  We take.

A torch is 5 or more AN. Just like toddy and how it’s mainly been  Torch !

Pretty big acorn year. Not the worst I’ve seen here, but there’s a lot . Nightmare

Some nice, plump red oak acorns this year.

We know this ... but just in case.  The idea that acorns can predict a wet warm or snowy cold winter has very low or no skill as a forecasting metric.

Years with perceived surpluses of acorns have nothing to do with ensuing seasonality.  According to all science/peer reviewal, those were influenced/triggered by past environmental factors -

so yeah... , it was cold and snowy last year.  or warm and wet... which ever. tell us what we already know. 

but obviously... we are so fantastically bored -

i think that's in AMS' official glossary, yeah...

  5 = torch
