You can get that chart and a whole lot more solar stuff at this link. https://solen.info/solar/index.html

42 at the closest Wunderground station.

Cheaper to let them go and just pay for their funeral. Lol

The only positive I see is that it should be across Florida and into the Atlantic in 6-8 hours. Worst case is for it to meander off the west coast for hours before making its move inland.

Yet, we've been in a pretty deep - NAO state for a while now and will be for at least another week. Though I don't disagree with the connection, there's apparently more to a -NAO than just the sun, not that you are saying that.

Got this l I nk from NE forum regarding the PV. https://www.severe-weather.eu/global-weather/record-weak-polar-vortex-event-2024-winter-weather-pattern-united-states-canada-europe-fa/

In a Niña, I sure hope so or we're all probably screwed!

You win!

I set my heat at 65 last night but it never came on.

Not an enviable list imby except for 20/21.

Those thinking AN precip must be on X because I see nothing to suggest that in this thread and Niñas are notoriously dry in the I95 corridor in the MA & SE. I don't claim to know climo NYC on north and east, but that area seems to get additional juice from Miller B's we miss down here, but I don't know which area (s) you meant.

At 500mb, that blend looks pretty darn close to what seasonal modeling is showing. Barring something extraordinary, I think that's a fair guess with hopes it busts cooler. That said, I'm sorry not to see 20/21 as part of your thinking solely for maintaining a weenie dream. Thanks for the Outlook and good luck with the job search.

44 looks to be lowest around here.

Updated NMME average for Dec-Feb has most of us at +1-1.5C, which those of us winter lovers would take (a little cooler east of I95 from Wilmington North and east.) It's arguably a touch cooler in that the +1.5-2C line has retreated pretty far south vs the last run, but that's splitting hairs. https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/?model=nmme&region=us&pkg=T2maMean_month_nmme&runtime=2024100800&fh=4 EDIT: Normal precip for most of us along the eastern seaboard.

.10" from last night

192hrs from 6z on 9/30.

Gfs first version before losing it was a Helene type track.

For what little it's worth, Cfs2 continues to cool ever so slightly each day for the past couple of weeks. It's probably too aggressive, but seeing it go the "right" way delays the bubble from bursting another day! Lol

I would think your side of the mts have the best chance tonight. Good luck.

My grass is still growing at a decent rate. I ended up with around 3.8" during that 10 day mushroom fest, so I'm fine with dry for the next week+. Summer's over so the hell with the grass!

I never said I expect cold/snowy. In fact, I don't and would be just as surprised as you if we got one. I'm simply talking about a winter that offers potential for favorable periods, which is how it works down here. How much can fall during those periods is TBD by luck of both the exact pattern and storm details. I said a page back, I think, that I'm liking the 1/15-2/25"period for mby.

Eps from now until Mid-November is showing modest warmth in the east. If you switch to Arctic from North America, Canada is part +0-1C and +1-2C by Mid-November. That's not fatal to our winter imho. So Roundy saying/suggesting AN is not something I would worry about with the Eps looking pretty tame with the warmth imho. https://charts.ecmwf.int/products/extended-anomaly-t?base_time=202410050000&projection=opencharts_north_america&valid_time=202410140000

Dry air ftw. Finally, those little gnats that fly around when it's humid in September, mainly during the evening, are gone.

If I was back north of BWI, my thoughts would echo yours exactly. Although my move here has only really yielded one really good winter (20/21), the other ones were all much better than BWI, except for 21/22 because I completely missed Jan 3, 2022. I still go back down to the Balt area for various matters, and I just watch my car thermometer rise as I approach BWI and relive the pain of those winters. Lol Between elevation and being oh soooo close to the nirvanac (new word) 40N, it is a pleasant improvement. Funny thing is, most people around here hate snow as much as they do in Baltimore, so if I get talking about an impending storm, they think I'm nuts!
