Itstrainingtime

One of the biggest factors is water - the airport literally sits adjacent to the Susquehanna. I'm located about 1.5 miles from the river, and my drive to work is almost entirely along the river. I'll watch my car thermometer start to rise in the fall and winter as I approach the river and it's somewhat warmer influence. Conversely, in the spring it's often cooler along the river on warmer days. Having said that, the river doesn't explain all of it. There has to be something else.

Tim, this is a great point and admittedly I've been of the opinion that the lows don't matter as much to me since I'm typically not doing much outdoors overnight. Having said that- overnight lows absolutely matter way more than my own personal comfort level. I don't want you to think that I don't understand that.

Lancaster would probably be the closest to Paul - September finished 2.43 AN...however, 15 days featured BN highs, 14 days were AN, and one day was right on the normal high. That early stretch made all the difference. (and it might repeat itself here in October) Granted, I only used high temps in my above analysis.

Your year to date rainfall total is about 5" higher than NYC saw in September alone.

Same at home. 1 degree higher than yesterday.

It feels like one to me. Very scientific, I know. LOL

September data is in from Lancaster (MU): MU Weather Center Due in large part to the early-month #heatwave, aggregate temps in #September2023 were nearly 2.5F above avg at @millersvilleu . Despite rainfall of 6.15” on the month, we’re still facing a yearly deficit of nearly 7”! This is a big reason why the Drought Watch is still in effect.

That's just as unbelievable every time you share that - you're averaging one mow every 2 weeks since the beginning of April. I went several weeks with only a couple of mows, but I've also had many weeks of mowing twice.

Unless we get whiffed with rainfall later this week, I agree 100%. I'll be mowing on Wednesday this week for sure.

Right? I mowed on both Thursday and again yesterday. My grass is very green, very healthy, and growing very fast. (that will slow this week but I'm certainly not finished yet) I'm at 30 mows currently.

Welcome to winter in Mammoth...holy cow do I miss this place:

Not too far away from some decent rainfall - and equally not too far away from rather trivial amounts:

You called me?

Watching college football yesterday and seeing temps in the mid 90s out in Lincoln is crazy. Lots of big time heat lurking.

70 at 10am.

NYC just recorded over 1" of rain for consecutive hours for the 4th time in the record books. Central Park was just under 5" at 11am. With a lot more to come.

Sort of reminds me of this: (though not as painful, obviously) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/December_2010_North_American_blizzard

If the 12z NAM is right, parts of NYC metro will approach 1' of rain today.

Even Central Park is over 4" since midnight last night, and they recorded 2" of rain between 9am and 10am.

Brews and pigskins...good times lie ahead.

Thank you for taking the time to respond to me. I sincerely appreciate it. I have a lot of learning yet to do.

Yeah...and it's not a very generous allotment at that. LOL

It seems like forever since we've had a damp, drizzly morning. Welcome back!

He used that line for emphatic moments in games, like a walk off home run. Apparently a pro golfer used that as an alternative to swearing after missing a big putt and Chuck picked up on it. You are 100% correct on our announcers through the years. We've been blessed as fans to have had some truly great ones. Chuck's in the hall of fame and Jon Miller is certainly on his way as well.

That...and "go to war Ms. Agnes" are forever etched in my head. Chuck and Brooks would be so happy right now.
