Tropical Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 They are already getting snowblower orders in at the hardware store I work at, so it is almost that time of year. LOL. Won't need those this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Not sure how it will affect us down here, but AK looks to get pounded by some serious looking storms: What we need is for these lows to drop snow and more snow...and then more snow across AK/CANADA...build a nice fat snowpack... Fairbanks is losing nearly 7 minutes of daylight per day... Snowblowers? This year even a snowblower won't be enough... I have a feeling that areas along the L Mich will need to be dug out by the Marines because of insanely heavy (20+ inch snows every 3 days) due to 75F lake waters and -30F air temps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Went hiking at Ortonvile State Park earlier. Not much color or any at all. Has allot to do with tree species. There are varius stands of oaks, hemlocks and white pine that tower over the area. Back in the city..Some of the non native Norwegian maples or aka city shade trees seem to be yellowing along with a few native sweet maples.

daddylonglegs Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I'd bet a pair of my sister's panties that the Euro is wrong... My gut feeling is we turn colder...much colder...wouldn't doubt we have some days in the 60Fs in 10-14 days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I'll be up in central Minnesota (near St. Cloud) sep 8-15. Hoping for a stretch of nice, cool fall weather up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trapperman Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Although this does make me want to vomit. I have noticed one thing this year so far though... no monster gulf of Alaska low, it's sitting up over the Aleutians with ridging over the gulf. If this pattern stays it could be a real good thing down the road... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 RAP actually shows a narrow strip of 90*F temps around here late this afternoon. I highly doubt that happens, but it is something funny to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trapperman Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 That is upstream ridging, downstream is troughy in the PAC with a -PNAesque look. Not really a great thing in the winter either. A "bad" El Nino pattern. Hopefully we don't have that much in the winter!!! Yeah, I stand corrected. Looks like in the extended at least one more torch incoming on the Euro at least. Ugh.

Geos Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 First day of September was below normal here. High 74°. 0.67" of rain. Some people are out tonight in sweatshirts! Goes to show you I guess how people became acclimated to the heat this summer - now 70° during the day is cold! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 80º/72º at LAF today. Smallest spread between max/min temps since March 3 (36/32). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drier air is beginning to advect in from the northeast now as the remnant shell of an underachieving hurricane moves on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Tomorrow is going to be 136 minutes shorter than the solstice in Madison with a solar noon angle 15.9° lower, so the sunlight at solar noon will be 12.8% weaker, daily integrated solar energy about 13.6% weaker. Things changing pretty quickly now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm8 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Well, there was a brief shower here in AA at the big house today where they where showing the game (). Tried to look at the dtx radar afterwards to see what it was but.... It seems to be having issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Made it to 75 yesterday. The airport didn't have any measurable precip but the West Racine weather station picked up 0.05" of rain. Snapped a quick pic of the sky before it started to rain yesterday.

IWXwx Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Torch it up baby! Yep, it's looking like troughiness around the GL until at least the 11th. There's not much doubt ma nature will have another torch up her sleeve, most likely around the end of the month. After that, any torch won't be uncomfortably hot, just warm. From the end of September until the middle of November, torches are irrelevant, after which they will affect precip types. So, torch away (it may even aid in keeping lake temps up).

Isaac's clouds slowly breaking up here. We have a small patch of clouds stuck over Madison for now. Still feels nice and cool outside like early Fall should be, bottomed out at 62 this morning and up to 76. That cold front Wednesday will really give us a taste of Fall.

trapperman Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 So we start Fall with the same pattern we started spring in March. Big saggy cutoff boobs with torch in the middle. Swell. I'm gonna go jump off a cliff now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 85 for a high today with some afternoon sun helping the temp rise. With dews around 70 it feels warmer out than some of the days last week that were in the 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
