I actually had to put the AC on last night because it was so unbearably warm with a "low" of 70 and dewpoints in the upper 60s in the freaking tropics of Sizzlercuse. Yet again, on par with warmest temps in NY equivalent to heavily urbanized New York City (low 70s). I am so over it Yes, I am looking for new locations starting in Spring. Lol

Yikes. I wonder where our buddy in Skaneateles has been?

Now, come on...which one is it?

Sizzlecuse hit a high of 78 (forecasted for 74) and a dewpoint of 68 degrees. My gosh, let it end! PLEASE let this be the last HOT day until next Spring (well until the next SW flow torches it into the 60s in January in five minutes time...lol) Who knew we were adding an additional 2 months to summer?!?

If we get our best WNW lake effect event of this new season in October via rain, Imma #$@#$$#@...

I think you're just north of it. 25 degree highs for you and 40 degrees on this side...lol Hoping for a fantastic winter with good WNW flow that hammers you AND my locale!

Oh, and 4 to 5 degrees above the forecasted high AND the hottest in the state...Sizzlecuse almost never fails it's hellacious temperature max

Guess who lives RIGHT on the line? Even TWC trolls me ....

Is that your backyard? What a beautiful view you are blessed with!

I really think Syracuse still has some issues with their thermometer. Very often, the "max temp" is the result of some random jump of a couple degrees in an hour and then it drops back down. It almost seems like it's exposed to a certain angle of the sun at certain times that make random spikes in temp there. Today is perfect example: 73, 73, 73....75...73...

I love checking out webcams...first winter storm webcam chase of the season. Looks like Rapid City changed over to snow already (earlier than expected) and here's Deadwood, SD. Looks like some heavy, wet snow! Webcams – Visitor Services | Deadwood, South Dakota

Interesting...the start of our second Industrial revolution...and the rise of Suburbia....hmmmmm.....

Upstate NY cities are the same, or warmer with higher dewpoints than many locations across the south again. How many times has this happened the couple years? Does latitude matter anymore?!?!

Yeah, the highs and lows have been 15 to 20 degrees above average several different days over the past week.

I know this has been posted before...but the few moderate La Ninas listed here actually show look ok temperature wise (unless it's balanced between a very cold month and then two warm month...) Syracuse snowfall for all 4 winters was decent, with the "lowest" being an average snowfall winter. It's the Strong La Ninas that are meeeeh.

Is it possible to have things not be as extreme as predicted anymore? Like...a balanced ENSO state...aka Neutral.

Mine too! I was thinking that when I saw this.

It's just incredible to me how much the Lake Plains of New York roast in comparison to other locations. 79 degrees in Dunkirk, while on the other end of the county and almost 1,000 feet higher, it's 10 degrees colder at 69 degrees in Jamestown. When I was in Science class, we learned that every 1000 feet is a 3 degree difference. But now I would say there are several other factors that seem to be contributing to an even bigger difference.

I'm seeing upper 50s and lower 60s for highs and partly cloudy skies next week. Please, oh, please.

"Much cooler" Leads to... "More seasonable" Sad...lol

Yes, I agree it seems to be protecting people well. However, my colleague who was sick was pretty dang sick with it. Her unvaxxed husband was waaay worse though. O2 level of 89 and obviously had to go to the hospital. Eek. Still refuses to get it after that. A friend currently (in his 60s) is fighting for his life right now. Family member said he is ready to give up because he's so exhausted from trying to breathe. Truly saddening situation. I said to my wife tonight that when you have a family member suffering through it, it really puts this virus in a different perspective. I am so thankful she seems to be getting much better now. Still has a cough and gets drained...but waaaaaay better than last weekend. The Syracuse area has been walloped the past several weeks by this thing.

Here's my long range anomaly forecast for every month for the next how many years....has a pretty good chance of verifying, ya think? (This obviously doesn't account for microclimates like the sizzle and THM effect...)

Did they look like this?

Beautiful pictures! Thanks for sharing!
