No,no,no CR. A Halloween storm dooms us to a bad winter. If there's no storm, still no guarantees...

Just adding to the SE folklore..:hurrbear:

Haha I know man.  The FallsLake Halloween Storm Index...has a nice ring to it!  We need to define the scale, though.  How about this:  > 1 = Screwed.  < 1 = Probably screwed.  How are the persimmon seeds looking this year?  Hearing mixed signals with the wholly worms.

Hopefully the Halloween storm doesn't wash the wholly worms away...or would that be a good thing..

We need rain in nc. That's why I was wishing the TS would come west while everyone else was wanting it it's. Already in a moderate drought heading into the dry season!!

The one good thing about this (short or long term) drought, is it comes after a relatively wet summer. Most of the agricultural interest are fine at this point. Now if this is a long term drought, we'll have significant issues come next growing season. **worse droughts occur after a dry winter.

This looks like one of those winter maps Pack likes to post! ;)

Yep...winter preview with 2016-17 repeat coming.  Need to start stocking up on the pre-emergent now.

Avg high in early Oct is usually mid 70's...going to be see some mid/high 80's it looks like.

Mount Agung may erupt any day now.  Pretty strong consensus that global temps will dip a bit in the following year to year and a half due to the eruption. How much depends on how big the probable eruption will be.  Exciting and dangerous times!!

It would have to be a pretty catastrophic eruption to do much to global climate overall.   A basaltic andesite volcano is slightly less likely to produce the high ash clouds in the kind of volume needed to effect climate.   There is always a fair bit of uncertainty with these things so who knows?  Still a really large eruption is never likely overall, thankfully those tend to be rare.

Yeah, we would need a Krakatoa sized eruption to really effect the climate.

Lets just hope things swing in our favor by December. For the past few years, we've been lucky to at least have the PNA on our side.  

Just eyeballing it and I can see a lot of bad winters in the negative column:

PDO is over rated...lates 50’s to the 80’s was predominantly negative and that our highest snowfall average ever.
