i'm willing to put money down that we won't see a 5 day average with a negative departure in the next two weeks

I am not ready to take that bet lol

Gun to head if you ask me blindly what the deparrtures would be for any time period in the future I always go positive.

Before the leaves pop on the trees you can see lots of huge diurnal swings like these. Hope we all enjoyed today and yesterday before the onshore gunk onslaught. 

22/70 out at the Walpack station yesterday, Sussex County.
21/68 the day before.  Walpack can really go nuts this time of year.

I wouldn't call 55 and sunny chilly....

it is beautiful though I'm surprised how much sun there is out there today and looking at the next two days, it's been changed to partly cloudy for tomorrow and for Friday too and both days in the low 50s, so the chances of being able to see that total eclipse are getting higher.

It's chilly for me.  Ever since my surgery last year I get cold often.

It’s really not shocking. What’s left of the pine barrens will soon be consumed by the southern pine bark beetle anyway. Eventually the pitch pine will be replaced with dwarf red and white oak.

and over here we have those damned spotted lanternflies which were a real pest last summer

any chance that cold winter killed them off?

The pine bark beetles? Probably not, we would need a couple nights below zero. The lantern flies definitely not, they are native to Asia where Siberian air masses can drop temps well below zero at our latitude. It’s really about the combo of lowest temps and duration.
