wxeyeNH Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Finally got some rain yesterday and last night. .40" last night and .55" yesterday. That brings me up to 1.09" for the past week, 2" for the first half of August and 9.3" over the last 3 1/2 months.. Pond is still 100% empty but at least I am running normal precip for the first half of August. Just snapped this picture of our pond. Outflow is at the top.

Hence why people will sunbath on a college campus in April at 60 degrees, but not in October at 60 degrees. I don't disagree with you that it is easier to be double digits below average in the winter than double digits above in the summer (high humidity plays a role in limiting extreme positive departures). However, I do disagree that it is easier to be double digits below for any week in any part of the year, especially in the winter. Recent climatology has shown that we can easily torch in winter months (only have to go back to last February). We set record highs and record low highs at a faster pace than record lows. Expand In 20 years here I've recorded 22 days in January at least 20° AN and one day in July that almost reached 15° AN. BN days are even more skewed, with one 15° BN day in July and a dozen at least 25° BN in January, perhaps 30 making 20° BN (that stat needs some updating.) Average departures, AN/BN, are much greater in winter than in summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average departures, AN/BN, are much greater in winter than in summer. Expand I am not disagreeing on that at all. Winter has always had the most variance when you look at North America, and more so the northeast. You get winds off the ocean at any point and you can jump to 50+, on the flip side you can get colder than cold with a dry cold wind from the north. And higher humidity of the summer months does tend to stabilize temperatures. Dry air is easier to cool and heat. All I was pointing out is in our state of the climate it is much easier to string together above normal months and weeks versus stringing together below average months and weeks.

Expand Alaska and the high plains have the highest variance in temperatures especially Montana and the Dakotas.
