I checked my station and it showed 12.5 for a peak gust, but from what I've heard, it must have been higher because tree crews are out working on some downed branches.

About half of it needed mowed. It was still plenty green yet, too. That was the year my wife's hyacinths poked out of the ground as well. Our neighbor had a couple hyacinths that got full sun on a southern exposure and were about 3" high.

I think it was 2015 when I mowed my grass on Christmas Eve...

What does the second wave in Texas do afterward? Does it follow the first one into the Northeast, get sheared out, or suppressed and out to sea?

Geez. It's only 36 here this morning.

I will, but it'll still be below normal...lol

I'm not sure ANYONE would want to see that.

It's true. I can't. Like I said in a previous post a few weeks ago, that record shattering heat wave a few February's ago, when you guys were flirting with 80, I was freezing my ass off in a truckstop in Palm Springs.

See...I'm not kidding when I say cold air follows me. I moved back to PA in the summer of 2001, so 2000 was my last November (and winter) in Phoenix. So now, 22 years later I'm back in Phoenix, and this happens. Ironic, isn't it?

While it's not always true, I'm a firm believer in what October and November (and April and May in the spring) show, so is the general pattern for the solstices. So far, to me anyway, it looks like the "general" trend is going to be troughy in the west and ridgy in the east. Of course there are flips here and there, but...

I just wanna know when I can rub it in to family and friends when it's 75 here and snowing like crazy back there. So far, this isn't going the way I planned...

I'm predicting no snow this winter at my current location...

In PA I kept the house at 68 in the summer and 72 in the winter. But in my case, the house was old, and the cold air would seep in in various places. I guess my thought was that if I had to freeze and layer up outside, I wasn't going to do it inside.

Do you guys see your breath when you breathe/talk while you're there???

Happy Thanksgiving to my Central PA weather friends!

Wow...you guys sleep in. 3:30am here and 43 degrees. 24 in Tamaqua.

Front end thump, then a mixed bag of slop?

It must be. When I lived out here in 96-01, you guys had some mild winters, and we had some cool rainers. I wonder if history is going repeat itself.

I'm sorry... Cold air just seems to follow me wherever I go.

I'm getting tired of seeing blue tones over Arizona...

16 in Tamaqua, 45 in Sun City.

No. My mom has been all alone on the holidays for the past 12 years since my dad passed away. This year she won't be.

If it helps any, this year I'm rooting for big central PA snows all winter long...
