Yes we did. And that's why I sort of feel like it's inevitable that forecasters are going to get burnt sooner than later.

Santa Clause Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 Idk I just kinda found other non snow related hobbies since it’s becoming a rarer phenomenon…disc golf and bass fishing in particular…you’d be surprised how decent stream bass fishing can be in November-January if you know the right tricks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 Getting older sucks. It’s not the body aches and physical aging but losing friends. I lost one of my bests tonight. Don’t feel too embarrassed to tell friend you love them. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahantango#1 Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 45 this morning. Wife got up around 1am and shut our bedroom window that wind was gusting. I guess our summer in November is history now. NWS has me down to 25 tomorrow morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahantango#1 Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 From our good friend DT: WINTER FORECAST2024-25 PREVIEWhttps://youtu.be/_eP1DiDHCYg Wxrisk.com (804) 307-8070 SUMMARY This is a long video -about 28 minutes but it moves pretty quick and there are lots of images in it. I start out reviewing the snow drought which has been pretty bad and WHY that has been occurring.. The last winter featured a very strong El Nino event. Before that we had three consecutive La Nina winters ( 2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23) FACT -over the last 32 years there have only had seven Winters where the equatorial Pacific has seen normal conditions. The CONSENSUS FORECAST calls a Weak to Moderate La Nina but the data looks quite weak and there's a really good chance La Nina might not form at all. So I look at what happens if we have a weak La Nina and how it is significantly colder and stormier when compared to a moderate or strong La Nina. Then I look at what happens if there is No La Nina OR if La Nina ends by JAN 1. If that is the case the probability is much higher that the central and eastern US will see a near normal winter .

Tomorrow still looks like MDT's only chance for a 32 looking LR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was far too young. Grieving your loss. Low of 46. Chilly night on tap. Probably have to bring in the palm. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawatch Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 45 degrees and pretty windy. Chance of showers this morning. Another morning shot, only lasted 2 minutes 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 Our high temperatures for today occurred overnight before the cold front passed through earlier in the morning. Temperatures will remain in the 40's for highs through Thursday before we start a slow moderating trend toward the weekend. Most spots, even higher spots like here in East Nantmeal should see their first freeze of the autumn season tonight. Our only shot at rain looks to be Thursday evening.

MDT was 48 around sunrise and is back up to 52 now. I have risen from a low of 42 up to 50 at this point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't get friends back, but we'll see em on the other side. I've spent a lot of time this year thinking about this and things related to it. I turn 60 in 10 months. I don't know why, but I never flinched at hitting 40, 50, or any other subsequent years in my 50s. The understanding that I'll be 60 though...I'm struggling with it. Things that seemed to matter a lot in years past are starting to become increasingly less significant and things that I always took for granted are now becoming more valued, and more urgent. Most of my "circle" in life from the time I was young is also a fair amount older than I am. As an only child I tended to gravitate towards those older than I was to "show me the way" so to speak. And now many in my circle are retired and all of a sudden...well, life priorities are changing quickly. People matter a whole lot more than material things, sports, etc. Those can be replaced or removed. Relationships cannot. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of which, I still have a big pot of Geraniums out in our front yard that still look really good considering I've had 4 sub-freezing mornings including one day when it was in the 20s. I also have a tomato plant that had tomatoes ripening up last week! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With no freezing here yet we are still harvesting peppers, raspberry's and strawberries. Bonus veggies and fruits. LOL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell didn't want me and heaven wasn't ready to take me yet. i look at things completly different then i did before. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
