Looks like another warmish week to 10 day on tap. Mid/late next week looks to be next chance at another cold press, but that's far away and I'm not divin in too deep. Just gonna roll w/ what we got and enjoy it. But fwiw the GFS a couple days back had a retrograding LP off SE coast that created a rather bizzare snow event for N 1/2 of state. I had to loop it a couple times. Was just fun to look at, and no hat hung on that run whatsoever, but I guess its time enough for strange things to happen as we get deeper into autumn.

Beauty of a weekend. Got out every weekend to enjoy, and I'm not dissapointed at all. Heavy frost yesterday definitely ended my mowing season (no idea on count). Just gonna be leaf mulching for me. Some great photos being shared. Nice work gang.

i had 36-38 on way to work. Lititz area was frosty as well. All of the mowing talk has me paying more attention. I dare say my lawn has slowed to an almost halt since last weeks couple of frosty days. Just leaf maintenance for me now me thinks.

hopin you are enjoying the new digs.

Would be great to see PSU pull it off. Tall order though. Phillies seem to have peaked at the right time. Good for them. Wishin all you P fans all the best. Heck, I may even watch it a bit.

beers on back porch kinda night on tap...me thinks.

It sure is. Looking forward to another nice autumnal weekend.

and i remember reading some of the no color fall stuff earlier this year (due to drought). Ive been to NC pa, WC Pa, and now down here for this weekend. Fall looked just as beautiful as it always has. No lack of color at all. Up in clearfield last weekend i saw the deepest crimson oaks that I've ever seen. Adding that color to the autumnal palette was just spectacular. Enjoy all.

then i'm in good company... the other Nut

The rest of us lanco n easter folks have also not seen the sun in days as well. I like damn n dreary in the fall...but I'm good now.

So ready for these warm n muggies to get the frig outta here. 58 is a low as I could go on way into work.

same here in the not so historical district of Akron

this looked (to me) like a normal adjustment back NW like we've seen so so many times over the years. if one looks over the runs of the past week, this was an often seen adjustment w/in the normal GFS bias. The maps had that look to it. With all due respect to the AFD's, the models corrected, and so did the precip fields (for us...not the westers). Something to keep in mind this season when the precip means a bit more for some of us. Not huggin GFS by any means, but it was there, and has done well enough IMO to just look at for general trend stuff for now. If yall disagree...well..its a discussion board, and my word isnt gospel by any means. This was less than 2 days ago. MSLP 100miles off Chessy Bay. I'd think we'd all agree that us easters would be keeping an eye on this....ESPECIALLY in winter.

looking like the big heatwave is now back to a more muted look from last week as front is on the move and Wed is back to transition day back to our regularly scheduled autumnal weather program. Last week the GFS teased the warmies with a few runs of more warmth beyond that, but looks like that's not going to happen.

sure was nice. Not sure that it was a surprise, as models hinted at it for the last few days. My yard approves as patches are starting to fill back in. Frosty mornings in Clearfield this weekend. Beauty of a weekend.

above has some support from CMC/Icon in some sort, so it's not outside of the rhealm of possible ways to mute what many of us hope is the last warmth for a while. Been showing up in different itterations, but may be growin some legs...if not....get your banana hammocks out for one last roastin. Edit: and to not show bias....after looking a little deeper down the road, the GFS also wants to delay the front and has Wed,Thurs and into Friday on the warmish side. I guess this will be our indian summer for some as they frosted yesterday and today.

Upcoming heatwave is being brought to you by the following sponsors..... GFS Op rain in late october

morning commute across northern lanco saw 33 at house with 30-34 between lititz and etown, but once to etown, they must have borrowed middletowns heat gun and they were stuck at 37. Most widespread frost this season (albeit light for most it was rather widespread in a lot of areas). I'd say north of Manheim was the winner in the frosted pumpkin dept. Nice job GFS. over the last week I saw many runs as i was keeping an eye on it, and i'd say it verified pretty well in our area. Looking forward to next week when we look to do this all again. Until then, I'll just enjoy the perty colors.

Looking beyond this Sat-Mon warm up that as per GFS Op guidance, it looks like a couple days of mid (and upper 60's with a couple "lucky" 70's being thrown in....we then look to settle into deeper autumn and get to enjoy the much more normalish coolish nights and days. lotsa 30's/50- to low 60's showing up. That starts w/ a frontal passage next Tues. Yes, I'm sure there will be a few surprises (as there always is beyond any 7 day looks), but I personally like what I see...for the next 7-10 days. Not worried a bit about the heights being depicted on the Op guidance past 240 as Ens has a notably more muted look and beyond 7 days, and Ens guidance is usually where I'd place my house money for that timeframe. Havent dug much deeper with other guidance as theres really not anything to look at yet...other than perty leafy colors. Once the white starts...that's a different story.

Yeah, that theory holds about as much water as the farmers almanac. As always, its easier to find ways to fail than it is to win in this sport.

While tempting, they are great neighbors otherwise...so i just take it on the chin, crack a beer and fire up the JD and mow mow mow em down. While it may come as a surprise, there may be a thing or 2 that they dont like about me..........

I'll give you an address to drop off a snowball in Houtzdale area....put it in the front yard where my buddys place is. hehe

I do every year and its a normal thing for me. I also am literally surrounded by neighbors that think the wind is their leaf removal system, so I have to clean up "their" mess in my yard as they NEVER clean up leaves....ever.

sw winds have been modeled, but as boundary progresses east, winds will come again outta the wnw for a bit.

looking forward to seeing you back. Congrats on the white gold.
