I saw both Orlando (hit 91 yesterday, a national record) and Miami had their warmest Octobers on record.

The early season storm a year later was much better for us 8"!

Funny thing is I was reading some of those posts just before a large gust took out my power here- for 25 hours!

The storm a year later was similar (but more snow for us), very little on the north shore but 8" from the LIE down to here. LIS is too warm for these early season events.

Thats probably why I saw people running like hell when it happened the first time. No one was around the other two times it happened. Weird thing is I thought transformers going off create a popping sound. Maybe it happened far away and thats why I saw it in the sky rather than sparks going off around me and didnt hear any sounds?

Maybe those weird multicolored lights I saw in the sky were transformers popping? But there was no sound and the entire sky was covered in lights- weird! Happened 3x between midnight and 1 am.

It did reach 60 mph but that wasn't the strangest thing about last night. I dont know if any of you others saw this but I saw something happen three times between midnight and 1 am last night. It looked like three bouts of very long duration lightning (15 seconds each time or more) that caused the entire sky to glow (but no sound.) The really weird part was that the light rapidly changed color from white to blue to red to yellow or orange to a very vivid emerald green. That happened three different times and the glowing lights covered the entire sky. What was this? The cold front passed around 1:30 am and things calmed down after that.

California has been having a lot of dry winters even during el ninos.

and it looks like this dry west pattern will continue for the foreseeable future!

paid for lol- you do realize you are talking about the fossil fuel CARTEL?! it's just as corrupt as the tobacco CARTEL or the pharma CARTEL or the ag CARTEL or the Colombian drug CARTEL ever were.

It's amazing that some people make the same "arguments" they made decades ago, they are just as invalid now as they were back then and are the reason we haven't made progress.

all you need to see is the trend from how the forest fire season has evolved from a short season to a year long occurrence.

The interesting thing is we were pretty well certain about this even back during the 80s. Actually if you want to go even further back, Exxon's own scientists were aware of it in the 70s, but just like the Tobacco industry, they suppressed the research (which is part of the reason they are considered a cartel and not an industry.)

Whats causing ceiling to be so low? The east wind? It's partly sunny down here (literally down in this case lol.) There was a plane crash in our area..... This reminds me of early summer and we're waiting for the sun to "burn" through lol. It almost is.

Didn't go last year? There should be a lull during the early evening hours.

About the same here in Nassau County. We needed the storm to be a bit further east.

That looks like stale cold air to me. Nothing like the departures they are getting out west. Better question might be when will the city get its first freeze?

Damn, if that storm had tracked a bit further east we all would have been buried!

I have a little guide I use to indicate what the highest temps to expect are each month: October 80s November 70s December 60s January 50s February 60s March 70s April 80s May-September 90s plus It works out more often than not. I consider the first 80 the beginning of the warm season and the last 80 the end of it. I dont think we have 4 seasons anymore- we have a warm season and a cold season.

I'd like to see a 70 high on Friday just to say we had a high temp of 70 in November

Why do they do that when they know it's a lower score model? I'd say they're too cheap to pay for the Euro, but considering that the Euro's info is released on many sites, why bother even using the GFS- for anything?

I saw that the area is seeing a string of record low maximums- some have highs in the single digits? Thats crazy for late October, even out there!

Unfortunately there are "scientists" who do this; I was researching cosmic rays and mass extinction events and found that there is a scientist who actually says cosmic rays are the main cause of current climate change. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_ray#Postulated_role_in_climate_change A role for cosmic rays in climate was suggested by Edward P. Ney in 1959[100] and by Robert E. Dickinson in 1975.[101] It has been postulated that cosmic rays may have been responsible for major climatic change and mass-extinction in the past. According to Adrian Mellott and Mikhail Medvedev, 62-million-year cycles in biological marine populations correlate with the motion of the Earth relative to the galactic plane and increases in exposure to cosmic rays.[102] The researchers suggest that this and gamma ray bombardments deriving from local supernovae could have affected cancer and mutation rates, and might be linked to decisive alterations in the Earth's climate, and to the mass-extinctions of the Ordovician.[103][104] Danish physicist Henrik Svensmark has controversially argued that because solar variation modulates the cosmic ray flux on Earth, they would consequently affect the rate of cloud formation and hence be an indirect cause of global warming.[105][106] Svensmark is one of several scientists outspokenly opposed to the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming, leading to concerns that the proposition that cosmic rays are connected to global warming could be ideologically biased rather than scientifically based.[107] Other scientists have vigorously criticized Svensmark for sloppy and inconsistent work: one example is adjustment of cloud data that understates error in lower cloud data, but not in high cloud data;[108] another example is "incorrect handling of the physical data" resulting in graphs that do not show the correlations they claim to show.[109] Despite Svensmark's assertions, galactic cosmic rays have shown no statistically significant influence on changes in cloud cover,[110] and demonstrated to have no causal relationship to changes in global temperature.[111] Unfortunately this denialism shouts down the very real possibility that a supernova explosion induced cosmic ray barrage caused a relatively recent mass extinction event. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_ray#Possible_mass_extinction_factor A handful of studies conclude that a nearby supernova or series of supernovas caused the Pliocene marine megafauna extinction event by substantially increasing radiation levels to hazardous amounts for large seafaring animals

Thought I should post this update, especially with the recent historic forest fires all over California and now in Los Angeles! https://twitter.com/RyanMaue/status/1188160398320656385 The climate science is settled on direct causal links to California wildfires. Whether it is drier droughts, or whiplashes to wetness, the jet stream is acting freakishly. The fingerprints of climate change are all over this current event. https://t.co/avouF71zBo?amp=1 https://www.sfchronicle.com/science/article/Scientists-see-fingerprints-of-climate-change-all-13128585.php

I am sick and tired of excuses being made for these "developing nations" Time to punish them financially for relying on outdated, polluting technology. Also, oil and nat gas are contributing factors, especially with the fracking "boom" contributing to methane leaks. Nuclear would be a far better option.
