Gordo74 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Yesterday was grand, this week looks fantastic to give the HVAC a break. Hopefully the trend continues. Any thoughts on leaves this year? My normally vibrant maples in the back seem to be wilting and dropping with barely a hint of color. We could have just been spoiled last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something tells me it won’t be 38 and rainy this afternoon. In fact, depending on how things shake out, it’s still on the table that we could be rolling into mid-October with just two days that didn’t reach 70 (the day of Ida and last Thursday), though I’m guessing we fall short at least once in the upcoming week.

PghPirates27 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 According to averages, still have around 2 more months in PIT to see at least 1in or more of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, a week-long stretch in October where the temperature doesn’t drop below 60 looks to be about a 30 year event (happened only a handful of times in the records). If it happens this week, that will be twice in the last 5 years (8 day stretch in 2017). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 For what's it worth, I saw a wholly caterpillar, it was dead, I may or may not have run part of it over with my car, doesn't matter, but it was all black. I haven't seen an all black one in a long time, couldn't remember when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahoff Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 Not having air has probably given me a higher threshold of what's hot inside. I can sleep with inside temps in the low 80s with just a fan and be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj3 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 No cold fronts on the horizon for at least the next week judging by my point and click. I guess nothing else to do but take advantage of the warmth and get in some more outdoor activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donyewest Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I'm usually very disappointed in this weather pattern during average circumstances but extra disappointed now. Had ankle surgery 2.5 weeks ago and am sleeping in our sunniest (read, "warmest") room so I don't bother my wife. I like it cold but our Goldie Locks 10mo old won't sleep if it's not 68-72F even after putting a ceiling fan in the room. Can't turn on the AC or I freeze the family out and I can't rely on opening the windows to cool my recovery room because it's the same dang temp outside. Really hoping we don't jump from 70s to 40s too, it'd be nice for some Fall weather. Adding -> Last week was perfect, only times I couldn't open a window was when the neighbors were having those perfect Fall evening campfires since capping kept smoke around overnight.
