  1. The point is warmer compared to what? The underlying argument is always AGW v. natural variability. If we use an older baseline for temps, then I’m not sure anomalies matter as much as raw data. The Washington Post article, for what it’s worth, seems to highlight the historical average temps were much higher in geological times. Should we compare our current temps against that?
  2. Bluewave just posted the numbers in the September thread; seems to be normal compared to the 30 year average. Isn’t that how we judge temp anomalies?
  3. Wishing everyone all the best down south. I woke up thinking about any southbound hikers who might be out on the AT. Hopefully they got word of this storm in time.
  4. Raining in chester; it all counts at this point.
  5. There’s wetness accumulating on my windshield out in Chester…
  6. Actually had a nip in the air this morning. Went with a long sleeve short/shorts combo getting the kids off to school…
  7. I know it’s dry, but this has been the nicest September I can remember in some time. I mean gem, after gem.
  8. Actually did put a long sleeve shirt on, with shorts, to take the dog out just now. 49 here.
  9. I’m not overly concerned about +2-3 for mid September to November; great weather to keep the kids outside as often as possible until the inevitable 42 degree rainers…
  10. 45 currently; projected high of 67. Going to be a perfect early fall day.
  11. Estimates are 146 million tons of water was vaporized and ejected into the stratosphere by Hunga Tonga; that has to be enhancing climate drivers in some capacity.
  12. The humidity is gone; windows are wide open. Beautiful day out this way with blue skies filtering between some clouds.
  13. 55/48…bit breezy, but otherwise glorious. Open ‘em up!
  14. The overdevelopment of many areas is going to exacerbate these types of events, just my humble opinion. The lack of farmlands/woods to absorb most, not all, will have downstream implications (pun intended). Down here in NJ, the amount of townhome/condo complexs being built in traditional farmlands areas is staggering. With the skyrocketing property values, there’s little incentive to hold onto farmlands, hence continued development.
  15. Heavy rain in Chester started about :35 minutes ago. Easily pushing 1” or more.
  16. Glad we got some rain, but wagons east on the big totals. Looks like we can salvage the day though, for outdoor projects.
  17. At friends in Boonton Twp today, it rained hard on 2 occasions; drove back to Chester and it looked like it had mist. That’s quite the spread over 15 miles as the crow flys.
  18. Humidity is probably the most uncomfortable it has been in some time. Really wish we can ring some precip out of it.
  19. Partly cloudy in Chester; getting dry out this way. Top 2” inches of topsoil are showing cracks.
  20. 71/69; too bad we can’t ring out any rain.
  21. Heavy rain in Bridgewater. Drove home to Chester and not a drop appears to have fallen.
  22. Storm was anticlimactic. Doubt it was a tenth of an inch.
