Cloudy, warm and humid for weeks straight in October is kind of a bummer. I try to think of it as extended summer and as we get deeper into Fall a switch will flip (hopefully) and we won't look back with any random warmth (hopefully). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I feel like I have lived in Seattle over the past week. Horrible weather. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Pretty decent shower moving through here all of a sudden. Heaviest rain I have seen in over 2 weeks, which isn't saying much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormfly Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Also if it's not going to be stormy might as well have full sun! I should be making 70-80kWh daily this time of the year if that were the case. Clouds, haze and smoke have cut down production considerably the past 12 months. I was considering a 10kW wind turbine and glad I didn't as we aren't getting much wind either. I wish the stream was closer, that could do 3-4kW easy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 0.16" of rain here today. Also the monthly total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 After another endless summer week upcoming, it still looks like we get a significant front and a cooler airmass for next Sunday and into the following week. GFS tends to be on the cooler end in the long range so temps might be closer to 70. Dew points at this time are in the mid to upper 30s- that's the big difference compared to this garbage air mass we have had seemingly forever. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GramaxRefugee Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I see there are a lot of October rain-complainers around. But, I was noticing last night, when I emptied the 0.02" total from the gauge, that I've had almost no rain this month. Not worried though. (yet) Low of 63f this morning, and overcast.

I am actually good with the dryness. Allows me to control the watering of the areas I reseeded, which has all filled in nicely over the last 10+ days with the continued warm weather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgottwald Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I did not expect drizzle today. I have my doubts about the predicted mid-70s highs; in my experience, once we get NE flow and drizzle, it does not warm up. (And once drizzle starts, it almost always hangs around for a long while.

Paleocene Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Certainly don't mind the cool temps, but it would be nice to see the sun. Got about 15 minutes of it during the kid's soccer game Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgottwald Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Pretty big temperature forecast bust yesterday - the low off the coast didn't pull away like it was supposed to, just hung around like a dinner guest who wouldn't take a hint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so desprite to just have some snow with on the ground and in the air at some point on Christmas, Christmas eve and the day before Christmas eve.

Stormfly Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Probability of a white Christmas for our area is like Congress ending a fiscal year with a balanced budget. The last blockbuster (Jan 23, 2016) would have been awesome if Jan 22 was Christmas eve. Waking up Christmas Day truly snowed in would have been pure bliss. Digging out the day after not so much but if you have the equipment or a person doing that for you not so bad. Even better was the B2B storms in 2010. Storm 1 hits on Christmas Day and storm 2 hits on New Year Day! That's hard to do in the lake effect snow belt region! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormfly Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Bring it on! The past few WEEKS now I've been seeing bioluminscent glowing firefly larvae in the grass when I go for a walk around midnight. A few warm nights and (hopefully) we'll see some fireflies. If that happens it will be the latest I've seen them. The current record is October 07, 2018. Although fall of 2009 was the absolute best. Mid September when getting wrapped up with long jobs and losing daylight they were around in numbers like mid June. Incredible. And in October we had larvae everywhere even bright enough to be seen when riding ATVs in the trails. As long as we don't torch on Thanksgiving. Those are the worst. I like the crisp days where we light a fire after everyone's crashed from pigging out on turkey. Stoke the box real good and open the vents so she roars like a locomotive rattling the pipe and before you know it, temp is 95F on the couch upstairs. That's if it's in the 30s outside. Warmer days forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgottwald Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Sun came out for about an hour - but now solid overcast again. The AFD mentions a CU deck developing due to low-level moisture, and I wonder if we've already seen all the sun we're going to see today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
