Amen brother! I'll add, I lived in many states and I agree with the shout outs for Michigan.... western and northern areas of the state are gorgeous. The only areas I have no desire to be back in are the i-95 cities and the northeast in general, (south of Boston), and the mid atlantic. yuck

"Is this why weekly climate models are now showing cold wintry Dec across the eastern US"? They are??

We had a big dog last winter, 12-16" locally. It would be unprecedented for us to have another one this year since they tend to occur every 13 or 14 years lol. But this does seem like one of those winters that could be mainly mild throughout but also hold a couple of surprises for the forum. Crazy cutoff lows generating enough cold for snow, perfectly timed, juiced up phasing, etc. Even 97-98 had a crazy storm that pummeled the southern OV in the middle of an otherwise, boring, mild, el nino winter. I still love a good snowstorm but with my growing intolerance for cold, this could be the perfect winter.

No worries about the record ElNino.... APPARENTLY AN INCOMING SSWE IS GONNA SAVE US ALL !!!

no complaints here. LOVE mild, dry November days!

WAD > CAD I'll take it

Tuesday was insane here around cmh. Definitely most severe I've seen since the 2012 derecho. Also, there had to have been some imbedded weak tornados in the midst of everything because I find it hard to believe that straight line winds can flip cars on a highway, (it's not like they were high profile or trucks). I've also seen a lot of tree damage around the burbs where there were grouping of large trees that were completely snapped at the trunk and the bark looked like it was twisted off. Either way, what a day. Finally got business back on line. Tomorrow we might have another round but hopefully by me posting this I just jinxed it away.

1978 blizz hands down even though the snow amounts were nothing crazy here in mby, the wind and the rapid temp drop made that storm one for the ages. That was basically a cat3 hurricane over land. But what i would find fascinating is to see how the current day models would have handled that storm. How far out they would have begun to see it and when the severity/phasing aspect would have been latched onto. You look at a model like the ukie that loves to forecast phased bombs into the lakes....can't imagine what some of the outputs would have looked like lol.

interesting, we are in the thick of it this morning and you are absolutely correct about the lack of bird songs

The media figured out the term ‘heat dome’ and now they’re using it ad nauseum like they do with polar vortex in the winter.

Looks like a typical stretch of summer heat to me. Seems when it comes to weather we’ve lowered the bar on what constitutes extreme.

Yea, clickbait, just thought the headline was so opposite this thread, I couldn’t resist

Don ain’t buy’n it

the storms locally on Saturday afternoon were the most destructive of the season, so far, (at least around the northern burbs of CMH). Out driving around for work today and lots of downed trees. A house on our street with moderate damage to the roof from a large tree going down. Once again, it always seems like our best severe comes when there's virtually no hype beforehand.
