It's a business...

The weather has become even more difficult to guess long range. Back in the 70's, you could use historical patterns to come up with a rational guess of what it may do a month or two in advance. At least that's how I could guess at the first snowfall. Not anymore it seems...
-
Well put.
-
At this point, yes, until evidence shows otherwise.

My winter forecast: What Snowman19 said...
-
A few light sprinkles, but nothing in the bucket here in the Tremley Point section of Linden, NJ. Doesn't look like Newark recorded anything either?
-
Hopefully not. Conditions are ripe, but pray that we don't have as many environmental "activists" around here...

I'm assuming Newark is still a holdout for no measurable precipitation this month? -
it counts as a trace -no "measurable rain", which I believe "no measurable precipitation" is the official streak...
-
Wait, you just implied that the temperature at ground level is different than where it is officially observed, a few feet above the ground. Then I asked what about frost that forms at higher levels even though the temperature is above freezing. I understand radiant heat loss...
-
How about rooftops with frost?
-
Official records I guess, although I am under the assumption people have studied, tree rings, core samples etc. to get a pretty good picture of weather before records were kept?
-
Funny how that happens, but it occurs fairly frequently (frost when the thermometer never dips below 32 F)
-
A few drops on the windshield this morning, but nothing recorded in the bucket...
-
I had to walk through that this past weekend. Even though they stopped as I walked by, the cloud of dust remained. So it's not against town or state ordinances to raise particulates to an unsafe level?
-
I vaguely remember a nice fall back in the late 70's?

With much persistence, I managed to catch a glimpse of the comet tonight. Could not see it with the naked eye, but did view it with some binoculars. It certainly was not the kind you follow to see the next Messiah... -
It's hard to bet against persistence. However, depending upon the seemingly never ending warm Pacific jet, I do see a hint of possible normal average temperatures for at least the upper midwest...
-
Looks like a gradual turn to zonal, with a hint of some colder air ready to plunge down out of northwestern Canada?
-
Check back in December to see the effects of the Pacific Jet. It is relentless...
-
Looks a bit extreme?
-
Happened to me at a vacation house...
-
Looks like zonal flow?

Had 0.000000101" this morning in Linden, NJ

I had once asked Ocean County to widen the shoulder on Bayview Avenue between Ocean Gate and Veeder Lane in Bayville. No response.
