Mount Joy Snowman

Great post Nut. Really good. Damn near brought a tear to my eye.

Very sorry to hear this. I also lost a lifelong friend this year to a battle with cancer. He was far too young. Grieving your loss. Low of 46. Chilly night on tap. Probably have to bring in the palm.

Low of 51 and .36” of much-needed rain. Happy Veterans Day and many thanks to all who have served.

What’s your elevation? Cold here in the Poconos near Arrowhead Lake. Can’t get exact temps but I expect us to be ~32 both nights. They have a burn ban in place so no fires. Rats.

Low of 45. Should be a nice chilly weekend up in the Poconos. Looks like a solid little rainfall Sunday evening and then perhaps some more midweek. Happy Friday, all.

You're a damn polar bear!

Low of 62. Heading up to the Poconos tomorrow where it should be a beautiful weekend, with bright sunny days in the 50s and crisp cool nights in the low 30s. Then perhaps some much needed rain on Sunday.

Low of 59. How ‘bout we snag another record today.

Yeah seems like a decent chance. We can hope. I've been keeping an eye on that because we'll be heading back from the Poconos. Sharing a lake house with three other couples and eight toddlers for the weekend ha. Should be........fun.

Low of 46. Beautiful days ahead. We are on record watch again.

Probably ha. Four separate days of .01" each. Yawn.

Not sure if I ever officially declared it, but I had my driest month ever since I began detailed record-keeping in 2011, coming in at .04". MDT 6th driest at .47".

35 for my low and a beautiful week ahead. The search for rain continues.

Low of 32. Preparing for the Packers to disappoint me today so I can get a double dose of football heartache. Nothing worse than the clocks moving around when you have little kids.

Yep. Came up short in key moments and some costly penalties. I can’t believe we didn’t just direct snap the ball to Warren on that 4th and goal play and tell him to go over the top. Uuugghhhh.

Low of 43. A couple of classic fall days ahead. I hear there’s a pretty big football game today?

Woke up to the sweet sound of rain early this morning. I have to round up a wee bit but everything is solidly wet so I’m going with .01”. The streak is over here at KMJS. Low of 65. Should be a rock solid weekend before some warmth returns next week. Potentially record breaking again, as the records get weaker.

Thank you for the clarification. No need to be obnoxious about it.

No, and I get the confusion, but those are not necessarily the exact temps. I believe the raw data is in Celsius and they round off the number and then convert to Fahrenheit, which can lead to discrepancies. I reached out to the NWS one time about this and they confirmed. In fact, you can see a number of examples on the link below where the 6-hour or 24-hour highs/lows don't align with the 5-minute readings. https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=Kmdt

For sure sticky for damn-near November. Not to cast doubt on either of you, and Training I know you take pride in that station of yours so don't get mad at me haha! But all of the official stations in the state are below 60 for DP (https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=CTP&issuedby=CTP&product=RWR&format=CI&version=1) and all of the ones around us are 55-57ish. Plus the Mesonet looks like this...... I think I've gone on about this before, but I just don't trust many home stations when it comes to DP. I've found over the years that they spike pretty badly with regards to DPs, even more so than with temp. I don't trust my own and generally use the local stations. Not trying to start a fight on this beautiful Halloween day, just engaging in weather nerd buffoonery. Cheers!

Hmmmmm all I see are DPs in the mid 50s. That's not too bad. Generally, I need them to get into the low 60s before it starts feeling summer-like. But admittedly, I haven't been outside a whole lot today.

MDT has been spiking later in the afternoon these days so I think they'll get there.

Record incoming? Seems likely.

Good timing on this post ha. Agree about next week but I'm not ready to go there yet on the monthly, even though CPC is hinting at it. Last time someone did that I believe was @canderson and if I'm not mistaken we ended up with a BN month haha. I know he remembers it well!

Now, let's talk about those record highs for next Tuesday and Wednesday -- 79 and 77. A couple of more Indian summer days on tap. Keep your ear to the ground. National high of 98 at Rio Grande Village, TX and low of -1 near Wahsatch, ID. A couple of days ago, Berlin, NH snagged the low with a 14, and prior to that Mt. Washington came in with a 4.
