36 this morning and no frost.

Low of 41. I haven’t had a freeze/frost here yet. Still plucking tomatoes off the vine, although they seem to be wrapping up.

I picked nearly 3 dozen Jet Stars last week and told my wife that was a wrap.

Last evening, I picked 10 more! My tomatoes are still going.

I rebranded and reactivated my old facebook weather page from years ago.  https://www.facebook.com/share/1DuF6Nz4VB/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Today we should see highs from upper 50's in ridge locations to the low 60's in valley spots. The NWS has issued a freeze watch for tonight with temperatures near freezing or below in valley locations to just above freezing on the ridge tops. By Sunday morning we should see lows in the low to mid 30's with a freeze possible in the colder valleys! Temperatures will run about 5 degrees below normal this weekend before we return to near normal by Monday, but by Tuesday we warm to about 4 degrees above normal. We look to stay dry through next Friday according to the ChescoWx model. Of note 154 years ago today back in 1872 the Chester County Area was at the start of a 4 day storm that left as much as 2.62" of rain at Pocopson. This was an unnamed tropical storm which tracked within about 50 miles of the county.

"When you hear claims that “the science is settled,” remember that the science is built on data that has been repeatedly altered. But if the proof relies on manipulated data, then the case collapses."

So produce the data that refutes it in a reputable study using scientific methodology, have it stand up to peer review and scientific scrutiny, and publish the results.  Nothing is stopping anyone from doing this.  But without producing such studies you are doing exactly what you are accusing the scientific community of doing.  Worse, you aren't even doing the work, you're just "saying stuff" on the internet.  Anyone can say absolutely anything.  Objective evidence is what is needed for a claim to be taken seriously.  

Currently there are no credible scientific studies that prove humans are not contributing to climate change.  NASA https://science.nasa.gov/climate-change/scientific-consensus/

Reports or articles arguing against human-caused climate change typically originate from advocacy groups, political think tanks, or non-peer-reviewed blogs (such as the Heartland Institute or CLINTEL) rather than accredited scientific research institutions.

If you can believe it, Chesco's current stance is more outdated and scientifically unfounded than Exxon Mobil's.. from the 1970s

Nothing brings a weather forum to a grinding halt more than posts about climate change. 

 

I await Chesco's response.

Pretty crazy 7 day QPF map considering how far away the closest rain is to us as well as how long it's been since it last rained.

I saw earlier this morning where as we go into November, the chances of AN precip and temps increase after the first week of November, as el Niño ramps up, so this next stretch of dry may be it for a while.
