12:30am Car hit telephone pole going 40 last night in front of my house. DD, totaled car around 30 ft from my office/den. The impact moved the house.  they walked away, most likely for a blood test and then jail.

Yikes.. Glad you’re ok…That’s….pretty frightening.

 That was good.  Welcome to San Diego.  As I said in the other thread, just enjoy it now…eventually something will happen.  For the time being embrace the beautiful weather. 

At least it’s not cloudy and gloomy like it usually is. I’m thankful for that anyway

Cloudy and gloomy here currently…see, something just happened lmao.  Sun should come back shortly I’d bet.

That is correct....flurries in Oct and Nov were more common. As was the ground beginning to freeze.

It flurried in Methuen according to Ray

[CoastalWx]

I never had flurries in October. In fact I had more October snow since 2003 than ever growing up. 

[CoastalWx]

Fall is no doubt warming, but using October snow is a dumb metric.

[Ginx snewx]

Set dry record for Oct

Only .16

Something similar happened to a friend of mine, he and his wife were in bed and thought it was an earthquake, turns out is was a drunk that hit their house.

I judge my memory by my football games and practices  from Pee Wee to High school. Oct was warm (1967 to 1975). It got cold mid Nov flurries or light covering occasional. Usually heavy rain in Nov with wind. Our coach loved to practice in the rain. I learned quickly the only dry place was the inside of my thighs. We won 33 consecutive games and 2 state chips. Both our state chips were at McCoy stadium in the first week of Dec and both were warm 50s and dry.

When I was a kid a lady hit a telephone poll in front of my house while we were sleeping.  I ran out , she was bent in half under the steering wheel crying for help. I was just about to touch the handle when my Dad screamed don't touch that car. It was electrified, I never saw the wire on top. She recovered fine but I had nightmares for years hearing her muted voice crying help me help me.

But we need to be as dramatic as possible...

It’s actually really neat though too. You’ve already snowed twice too…you’re having an autumn to dream of actually.  

That was about 10 degrees warmer than we were at that time…

Yeah turned on the A/C on the mini split last night to cool off the bedroom…. windows weren’t getting it done when it was in the 70s outside.

Stick season is here way early this year. Stein just killed off everything. This is several weeks early here. Just a few Oak stragglers left that today’s wind should mainly take care of. And that’s with no frost or freeze. Lowest temp has been 35.1

Yes, you've mentioned that there's been no Frost or freeze about 10 times. But you keep failing to mention that there's been no Frost or freeze right where your house is. Lol. A lot of us have gotten down to freezing already. Frost absolutely and there's even been some freezes. 

A lot of the trees are almost bare. I don't remember Halloween having all the trees bare like this in quite some time. But I don't think any of this has a bearing on what we're going to see this winter. We need rain or precip of some sort soon.

[CoastalWx]

Lowest has been 32.7 here. No freeze, but a couple of lighter frosts.

29.8 here a couple of times ... so a freeze but not really very impressively so.  may have just been the dip temp anyway, not having spent much time in that range - unsure. 

34 a few times though. 

agreed mid month.  earlier telecon projections ( like those from last week and prior ) suggested the wpo may slope off ...if so, perhaps an indication that by mid novie we'd be seeing a pattern change coming around the bend but that doesn't seem to be as coherent anymore.  

seems we've established a pretty obvious precedence going back some 15 years that "correcting" at all, has been favoring warm side - without getting into causal debate.  it just is what it is.  if anything corrects colder, that's become the rarer circumstance.  sometimes the greater synoptic construct looks like it corrects cooler, but the actual dailies seldom really reflect it. 

seeing it here... subtly offering reasons to see the se ridge bloom again/protract.

I think the MJO getting suppressed in the colder phases is occurring as far as mid to late month goes. Agreed, looks warmer. Maybe we all burn in flames in Ray's phase 5 MJO.

That triggers a memory of contrasting October days in the pads.  10/26/62 was the usual Friday walk-through rather than real work, and we'd had 0.7" snow overnight and the day never saw sun or rose above the mid 30s - too much standing around for those temps. 
Same date in 1963 was my first game playing both offense and defense - every play but kickoffs and the game's final snap when a 2nd-stringer came in.  Temps were mid-upper 80s with humidity and I sweated off about 15 pounds - low 190s to high 170s.  Also the 2nd of our rare victories in a 2-6-1 season.  (Previous 3 years the team was 25-2; our senior class wasn't very good.)

Numbers for last month:
Avg max:  57.0  +1.4   Highest was 70, on the 21st and 31st
Avg min:   35.5  +0.5  Lowest was 17, on the 29th
Mean:       46.3  +1.0   Avg diurnal range of 21.5 was +0.9.   After 15 straight months with BN ranges, now AN for both Sept/Oct. 

Precip:   1.89"   -3.56"   Wettest days, 0.61" on the 7th, 14th
2nd driest October of 27 and the driest Sept/Oct (3.40"), 0.70" less than S/O 2001.  Total departure for the 2 months was 5.74" but the YTD is still 3" AN.

No flakes were observed.

Starting to wonder if this might be similar to the 01-02 winter. Dry late summer continued right into winter and spring. Some similarities looking at analogs

That’s impressive.  Knowing how easy it is (or can be) to get at least an occasional 0.5-1.0” QPF event while living in New England… that total over 2+ months is noteworthy.

There have been some big temperature changes, warm fronts and cold fronts usually spark precip but no dice lately.  You have an ocean to your south and east to supply moisture.

Just 1.5” in 8-10 weeks? Yeah, that’s impressively dry.

Wow It hasn’t rained in most of the state of New Jersey in over 30 days

19" OTG at PANC. Most ever.

It must have been brutal.  Those leather helmets had no ventilation.

Wow! Your dad kept his wits about him though which is impressive given the circumstances
