We've never gone past Oct 27 without turning on the furnace. It's never dropped below 65 in my house yet and doesn't look like it'll be light jacket weather for at least two more weeks. Where are we are hottest October ever? 

I've also had .03" rain in the past 40 days. It's drier than a bar on BYU's campus. 

Per xMacis, at Harrisburg, the month-to-date would be 15th warmest on record at Harrisburg, although it bumps up to ninth warmest if you categorize by average maximum temperature. Should drop some before the end of the month with cooler weather until the last 2 or 3 days.

That's crazy - I wonder why it has felt so much warmer? I have had to wear a fleece twice. 

We have only had a two days in the 80's.    MDT has been fairly moderate this month.  Just slightly over 1 AN right now.  Maybe your new heated seats are on and you did not notice?

Highs have been warmer, so maybe that's part of it. If the month ended today, only 8 years were warmer. And, of those 8, only 4 were more than 1F warmer. And 2 of those years (1947 & 1963) were decades ago. Also been sunnier than usual. Skycover is averaging 3/10 for the month. Cool nights have kept the overall departures down, in a reversal of most recent months.

Since it's being bantered about, I don't think this month will end up as anything too special (probably ~2 degrees AN).  I did my end-of-month chicken scratch and have us ending October with a mean temp of 58.1, which would be tied with 1990 for 22nd place all-time.  The extent of the warmth on the last couple of days could throw a wrench into things but I'm pretty comfortable with that number.  Book it.

Sir it's Strip Bingo night. Game isn't over until Gladys' aerolias are brown from all the dust on the floor. Sit back down. 

My wife and mother-in-law both love bingo, and my MIL's name is (seriously) Gladys. You have just put an image in my mind I'd rather not have...lol

Many of the lower spots in Chester County were well down into the 30's including a below freezing low at Warwick Park for the 7th time this month. Higher spots in the county have still not experienced even 1 freezing low this autumn. Temperatures are near to slightly below normal through the weekend before we start a nice warming trend that should peak on Halloween with temperatures that day well into the mid-70's! Of course, absolutely no rain in the forecast for at least the next week.
