Torchageddon

The often wrong TWN hourlies and day chunks had my first flakes this evening - never happened. WG (has that site been abbrev before?) didn't show any afaik and has spotty rain overnight. My lows are still way abv avg over 6C during midweek. It will also be 6C for the high during the next few days - always 6 this month. Is Eastern KY getting snow before I see flakes? Had way more brightness and sun than expected Thurs, was doomed to be permaclouded.

The permacloud is getting to me too, November's "sweet treat" around here. Did get some wonderful sunny days on Tues and two Sats ago but its not enough. River is getting quite low.

Yep, but to be fair snowsqualls in early Nov is rare or has been during the past 25-40 years in my region. The king was a major dump on Nov 2 1999 around here we were shy of 1.5/2 feet with drifts, Mid-Nov 2000 was insanity and the snowiest on record, a major lake effect snowstorm starting Nov 16 2024 that also gave the southtowns of Buffalo NY their historic 2 meter LES.

I was out there tonight, it feels so warm and even humid. It was 15C for a while but I knew it was even warmer when I went out again - it had risen another 1C to 16 now its 10:30 its 17C! Overnight low could be 17 which would be incredible for Nov 5 (Avg is 1C). DP of 16C by 1am! I forget what the lows were for the 2020/2021 events - I feel this may surpass those for that category. Our lows during these cool season heat events are getting amazing.

In the last week its becoming very cloudy to that majority overcast shit I loathe, I'm starting to feel it now. Its also a dark gloomy type but Sat had a brighter overcast. With DST I really felt it today, the other shoe has dropped. Sunny and November isn't a pairing in my region.

Likely the most humid Halloween I've ever lived through, our high was 22C with humidex of 26 at one point! I hated how dark and dreary it was though, guess it fits. Rain held off til 6pm, got less than 1mm so far.

Still 17C here at 1:30am, It did dip to 16.5 earlier but it rebounds some, hourlies show it could increase til 3am. Some stations nearby even have 19C! Avg low is 2C. Wild!

I'm also going to enjoy some of the historic warmth, already 18C (high of 20C soon), tomorrow high of 23C! Probably near the record but my dataset sucks socks. Most unbelievable; the low overnight of 17C/64F!!!

From earlier run, fantasy land, etc. Among the most insane model depictions I've come across having a 576dm height bubble over southern Greenland at the end of the first week of Nov!!?!

I've noticed there is this weird bug like a small black fruit fly that will land on your wrists/hands and bite, leaving a small welt. Never seen them before. The bugs are bad with the fantastic heat we've had.

Been blessed not to have as much cloudiness as forecast, yesterday afternoon was fine with sun out and then this morning I got hours of sunny breaks with modest clouding up after noon. No rain ever came! The Thanksgiving prize was instead of -1C it only made it down to 3C. For any Canadians left here, happy Thankgiving!

The storm on Sun morning did fizzle, I got gapped! I heard sig thunder and before the split line 150 strikes detected. My station didn't even measure any rain lol. Sun came out early that afternoon too. Some downpours the first in months started last night though. This was a dynamic fall day with heavy showers then full sun minutes later.

Went out for a ride in the morning air before the line of storms hits, I could see darkness, hear thunder off in the distance, tepid breeze, hear the birds chirping like it was Spring, observing the colours, with the sun still shining - memorable! Line seems okay so far on radar and I tend to believe with the number of strikes my station is sensing this may not be a flop, TWN wrote kind of setup we’ll see on Sunday has been known to overperform in the past. Sadly they gave no details nor get into the nitty gritty

Most of the week was pleasant, nice sunny fall vibes with very gradual decrease in temps. Happy with us getting very little rain since Aug, some day recently it was less than 3mm; dried up fast. I can't remember the last time I heard rain on the roof, its been so light and brief. Sun I'm suppose to get a t-storm (me thinks Nov/Dec will be turbulent) on Sunday with 8mm of precip - hope it all misses me or fizzles. It did today; just some clouds mid-day.

Perfect day here for Sep rounding off the best I've experienced. I noticed TWN put me under overcast even rain yesterday and I rightly ignored that shat. Instead it was mostly sunny at times filtered and gorgeous humid breeze til 4:30pm! Clouds were def intriguing morning then late aft when they fomented. We overperformed high temp by getting to 26C feeling like 31!
