Ok, I'm all ready for the weekend storm with my emergency supplies I rushed to the store for.

[kb2crk]

Snowmageddon is so 2014...

This is Snowmicron 2022

[WZ7U]

The sun came out today

[KB2SFH]

The Beatles wrote a song about it


The sun came out today

[KG4CGC]

38º
ultra fine sleet melting on contact
30 mph wind gusts from the south

[PA5COR]

6 C + no wind cloudy, what winter? :mrgreen:

[N1LAF]

Right now it is 3 degF (-16 C) and sunny. Forecast rain tonight, with near hurricane winds tomorrow morning

[kb2crk]

34 degrees F freezing rain falling and temp dropping. 15 mph winds with 35+ gusts.
Should be interesting later today

[suddenseer]

Here in Ft.Myers, I am just able to stick my head out. We had many tornados, and waterspouts spin up and made it several miles inland. Lots of damage everywhere. I have power, trees down, bedlam. We will be back to mid 70's and blue skies in a few hours. I hope the pool is open lol.

I drank an entire pot of coffee watching this on radar, tv, out the window....I'm learning what living bicycle distance from the beach (which I've yet to visit, yeah, residents rarely visit theme parks and beaches for some reason)

Here is the edge of the winter storm down here

https://nbc-2.com/news/local/2022/01/16/tornado-hits-gulf-harbour-fort-myers/

[kb2crk]

Temp down to 32 deg F Light rain with 20mph sustained winds and 39 mph gusts. No snow yet. running up and down the stairs running the laundry.

[kb2crk]

Still 32, turned into a sleet downpour and them heavy wet snow. The wind has dropped off a little

[kb2crk]

Had to go out and take the sun sail down on the back deck. It started sagging and bending the 1" support pipes. Had to unscrew the turnbuckles apart to get it dropped due to the 80lbs of slush on top of it. snow coming down heavy now

[KG4CGC]

28ºF (-2.22ºC)
(28°F − 32) × 5/9 = -2.222°C
About 5" (127mm) of snow topped with loose sleet. Stuff drifts up easy so depth could be deceptive.
Expecting a light dusting of more snow.

[kb2crk]

1784133 Deg F snowing, some has melted off so still less than an inch of accumulation. Going to be interesting when the temp drops later and it all freezes solid. Sent the Lab out for testing

[N8YX]

The south was supposed to get it.

At the last moment, someone must have jinked the system more northerly...the "occasional snow showers" in our forecast turned into 14-20" of accumulation. Been shoveling all day and there's more to do.

Yay.

Thank you for doing your part!

Expecting a low of 16ºF (-8.89ºC) tonight. Roads were turning from slush to hard freeze right at 5:15 PM. I went out because a friend needed a case of beer and was going into withdrawal.

[kb2crk]

17850Its snowing again

[suddenseer]

39°F here in Ft.Myers...frost warning for inland counties....I don't have a furnace either, lol. It will be 70°F later today, I'll live.

[suddenseer]

I'm watching the local TV news. Yes, the weather is the lead story. I heard the words," wind chill factor" which I really didn't think I'd hear again for a local forecast. They spent a minute demonstrating how to defrost your car windows, which is a legal requirement to drive on the streets. My neighbors were wearing coats this morning, and it was 55°F when I took my stroll in shorts and shirt. I haven't been here long enough apparently.

[KB2SFH]

Already snowing good here in ghetto rahway nj.

[kb2vxa]

N1LAF not laffing! We're getting buried here in Lakewood, a freezing 20F with wind north at 9mph. It only gets worse, snow stops tonight BUT the bottom falls out of the thermometer @ 9F. I have nothing to complain about, Alaskans have a saying, "-20 is a warm day, -40 is cold, and -60 is DAMN cold.".

It happens but in the mountains it has become somewhat prolonged.
We need to take road maintenance more seriously but we're still stuck in, "Oh, it only happens once a year here if that much" way of thinking.

Projected low for my town this Thursday: 56.
What a contrast.

We're getting dumped on again. How much and what type is still very much up in the air.

Heavy Rain

[KG4CGC]

Alternating periods of heavy-ish rain and slow rain.
57º
Tomorrow night (later today) it's supposed to dip back down to 32.

[N8YX]

The last three snow storms we've had dumped upwards of 40" total here. Other areas in the nearby Midwest racked up even higher amounts.

[suddenseer]

Hello, I can't do selfies in bright sunlight, but I'm enjoying the weather. 17862

[KG4CGC]

We've reached our high of 62º (16.7ºC) and now the temperature will be declining until 8 am Saturday morning.
30º (-1.1ºC) in the morning.
Currently overcast.

Mid 40's and rain occasionally today, lows upper 30's. Lather rinse repeat.

[NQ6U]

69°F and sunny. Barometer steady at 30.26 inHg. Wind W at 6 kts. Tide at +3.89' MLLW and falling.

More likely here, with the rain loosening everything. Been a few already out here.

[PA5COR]

Winter passed us by this year till now, 45 to 55 C rain, more rain sunny day more rain....
Stormy sometimes, one night with -6 C ... that was all winter till now and the next 14 days ahead.

STil lwaiting ffor winter... 9 C cloudy drop of rain...Looking forward 14 days = the same...

[WZ7U]

Mid 50's in the day, clouds and sun mix. Dry.

[kb2crk]

68 degree F here now. Supposed to be in the 20's by Sunday

[NQ6U]

Mid-February and it hit 80°F here today. Where’s Al Gore and his global warming now??

Oh, wait…

[kb2vxa]

There they are, Algore, Winnie The Poo Poo, and The Global Farming Greenheads living in their fantasy world. Here in the real one we're still coming out of the last Ice Age, so don't hold your breath, man-made CO2 is as all of it absorbed by shellfish converting it to calcium carbonate, future limestone for future builders. Cows will continue farting, producing methane, that like calcium carbonate will continue to form frozen methane aka fire ice on the ocean bottom. Meanwhile I sit here thinking as I do every winter, thinking those three words... cold, wet, miserable.

17866

[kb2crk]

38F and raining. Down from 74 yesterday

Hugely over-simplistic. Among other things, it ignores the problem of ocean acidification.

[PA5COR]

Wednesday and thursday 2 storms pass 60 to 90 mile per hour gussts that will be fun...

[KG4CGC]

60's days and nights into the 20's until Monday when the lows get into the 40's and 50's.
Next week we may get into the 70's.

[NQ6U]

Rain and wind all day yesterday, 45°F here this morning. Might get up into the low sixties by this afternoon. Good sailing wind, though—SW 6 to 13 kts. I’m taking the boat out.

[PA5COR]

11 c here but 60 mile per hour gusts.... not good for my 77 feet vertical.
Friday some more 80 mile per hour ggusts storm 2, monday another one....

[WZ7U]

Cloudy, mid 50's in the day, low 40's otherwise. Back to normal for around here, faux spring is over.
Except for the lack of rain. Oddly disturbing.

[NQ6U]

48°F with rain and hail, wind gusts up to 30 kts here this morning. Temps predicted to drop into the 30s at sea level on Thursday morning. This is about as extreme as the weather ever gets in these parts.

[KG4CGC]

74 today with rain ending at noon. Low of 54 tonight. the jetstream has been favoring us.

[KG4CGC]

80 today. Grass is growing. Trees are budding.

[WZ7U]

I noticed the cherry blossoms were starting up again. I hope the rain doesn't knock 'em all off again this year.

Damned near 60º today. Seems a bit early for that.

[PA5COR]

Sunny, low wind 9 to 11 C better ;)

[NQ6U]

Clear and 48°F (9°C) this morning after a cool, wet, blustery weekend. But, the expected high is a balmy 67°F (19°C)!

[KG4CGC]

About 70 at 11:25 am and we're supposed to approach 80 with thunder storms. Made a couple of 10m contacts into Wales earlier.
Weekend is supposed to drop into the below freezing range but first, Tropical Rains all week!
That's fine. I should really cut the grass but the wet won't give me a chance so might as well freeze off some of that new growth. Freeze some of those fresh fire ants too.
BTW, fire ant killer is bad for everyone and everything. People and pets. Might as well turn your yard into an EPA Superfund site.

[WZ7U]

Good old fashioned fire works, doesn't it?

[PA5COR]

Sunny, no wind, 8 to 12 C today yeah!!! :mrgreen:

[KG4CGC]

Wet soggy. 60º, overcast. The feeling is quite the contrast from yesterday.
Yesterday the pollen was flowing and by late evening I realized it was time to start my morning local honey regimen.
Oh and I think it's also time to look into eye wash.

[KG4CGC]

March 13th was very cold early. 18ºF (-7.8ºC)
March 14th low: 28ºF (-2.2ºC)
March 15th low: 39ºF (3.89ºC)
Currently at 2:37 AM EDT it is 53ºF and expecting a low of 49ºF with a high of 56ºF and between .75" to 1" of rain for Wednesday.
10m DX has been, interesting.

[PA5COR]

Extreme sunny March till now, today sunny, 14 to 19 C some sahara sand on it's way looks to stay sunny and nice till the end of next week.

[kb2vxa]

May Day, 1 May is a day we can all dance around the may pole and celebrate the demise of Old Man Winter. I'm not folnd of cold at all, and this rollercoaster weather drives me nuts not knowing WHAT to expect. That having been said, Charles, you being our barman should have quite a collection of beer cans by now. Forget recycling, there's no money in it compared to what you can get by saving turning your yard and those of grateful neighbors int EPA Superfund sites that will never get cleaned up. Tremley Point, Linden, N.J. has been on the list for decades after being abandoned by American Cyanamid. Afriend who worked there reported men working in the dye room peed colors. https://darrp.noaa.gov/hazardous-waste/american-cyanamid
Rant mode off.

Here's the best way to rid the area of fire ants and make money doing it, first it requires a small investment in a furnace and crucible to melt down those beer cans and aluminium scrap, tongs, welder's gloves, and safety equipment like an apron and face shield in case of spattering. You can read directions on the Internet, You Tube has some great videos, soon you'll be casting fire ant colonies like the pros and selling the casts as art.

Oh, while you're immolating ants I'll be watching some really great ant movies in my video library like Phase IV, Empire Of The Ants, my favorite, Them! and an episode of The Outer Limits, The Zanti Misfits. Now be careful when you're building the small dam around the colony entrance, these are NOT the kind you would want for ants in your pants!

[PA5COR]

Sunny, 14 C light breeze, did the other vertical Diamond X 510N with teflon coax as C and tested it, good, so it is now spare.

[KG4CGC]

Cloudy skies, a little rain and a little thunder earlier. Just kind of wet now and 56ºF (13.3ºC).
Pretty much stayed in the mid to upper 50's all day.
Before the thunder rolled I was listening to American and European 10m DX.

[NQ6U]

Rainy and cool all day yesterday but it’s supposed to hit the low eighties by Wednesday.

Spring WX in SoCal is bizarre.

[KG4CGC]

Nice Spring-like weather. 78 in the day, 48 at night. Still a little soggy but sunny the last couple of days.
Expecting a little chill on the weekend. 54 on Saturday with a low into the high 30's.

[PA5COR]

sunny, no wind, 17 to 20 C in the country.

[NQ6U]

80°F here today with a rainstorm accompanied by a 15-20° temperature drop due to arrive on Sunday night.

It’s springtime in Southern California.

[WZ7U]

Upper 60's today with partly cloudy skies. Warmest day of '22 for CN86jc

[KG4CGC]

Currently at 22:50 EDT, it's 62Fº, winds are calm,59% humidity and barometric at 30.04.
Expected low in the morning of 55Fº.
Calling for 13 hours of basic rain showers starting at 03:00 for Wednesday morning.

[PA5COR]

Sunny, 18 C today light breeze, excellent ;)

[n6hcm]

it's weird here that too. Just down to 30F after more than a few days of more than 60F

[WZ7U]

The tornado god must be mad at Texas dumbfuckery. It took quite the shot at them yesterday.

[NQ6U]

Yep, it’s definitely spring — the terns are back at their nesting grounds in the wildlife refuge just south of here. They’re sort of like the storied swallows of San Capistrano in that they all seem to arrive on a single day every spring.

[KG4CGC]

The tornado god must be mad at Texas dumbfuckery. It took quite the shot at them yesterday.

Well if you heard the confirmation hearings today you'd know why.

[WZ7U]

Right? What a bunch of deplorables. Guess they can't put 2 and 2 together properly.

[suddenseer]

I normally get nervous being in the cone of concern. This time, it's just a TS. Here we go, official storm season day three right on cue. 17923

[KG4CGC]

You know, nothing unusual to report. Just typical SC Summer. Yes I said Summer.
Well, the nights in May stayed a bit chilly until the last week.

[PA5COR]

Cloudless sky, sunny, 19 to 26 C today light breeze.

[WZ7U]

62 and rain on the north Oregon coast today. Perfect day for a hamfest.

[NQ6U]

28°F with 40 kt winds and blowing snow in San Diego.

(Ok, not really. More like 70°F and partly cloudy)

[KG4CGC]

The weather has not been unusual. Just a lot more dead deer on the roadside.

[KG4CGC]

A month later and I report the same as before with a few less dead deer.

[WZ7U]

It got hot around here again.

[NQ6U]

Hot and humid, with t-storms. August is monsoon season in extreme SW southern California.

[PA5COR]

Too dry here, rivers almost empty, cracks in the clay in the garden, grass turning brown.
This week another scorcher, 35 + C sunny for the next 14 days without rain...
It's called summer i think...

[NQ6U]

According to the National Weather Service, over the next three days we can expect an Excessive Heat Warning, a High Wind Watch, the possibility of thunderstorms and a Flash Flood Watch. The later are thanks to Hurricane Kay, which is currently spinning just west of Cabo San Lucas at the tip of the Baja California peninsula.

Anthropogenic climate change is a bastard.

[PA5COR]

Last heat going now had 32 C last days now rain and thunderstorms 19 to 22 C here hope it keeps raining shortage here from the summer iss 12 inches so need more rain...

[KG4CGC]

66 to 70 degrees today with a lot of rain, heavy at times. It was worse through the central and coastal part of the state. Central through Southern Georgia as well as central through Eastern NC got it pretty hard.
Expecting another heavy round through the Midlands of SC.

[NQ6U]

Weird weather for the past week, weird weather continues through Monday.

A little about South Carolina geography and history here with regard to "the fall line." The fall line runs through the center of the state from the southwest to the northeast. It's where the elevation drops. In Columbia SC is where the Broad River and Saluda River converge to make the Congaree River. Pictured below. Link to geography lesson below that.

Batten the hatches matey!

According the latest map, the center of the storm is going to hit the area where my brother lives by Wednesday. I told him to stay in California and deal with the occasional earthquake but would he listen to his older, wiser brother? Noooooo…

The last update has us barely out of the cone of uncertainty. We are still on for surges. I live about ten miles from the Gulf coast. I'm sticking to my daily routines, signed up to carry my older neighbors to safety when needed. I will get a yellow vest, sans walkie talkie. :-D

[KG4CGC]

Windy today. 20 mph gusts and about 63º. Looking at the cloud map, the edge of Ian's bands extend past Columbia SC, center of the state, reaching the halfway point between my location and Columbia. I keep feeling like it will go northeast with a more easterly heading while the maps say north with only a slight easterly heading. I may head up to a high vantage point to see if I can view any of the bands as the sun sets. It will be a trick. There is one place I may be able to see the light from the setting sun hit the edge of the bands to the east and south.

Don't lose your rain gear Ash. It's a comin

As it would go, a few minutes after my last post I was asked to go to Atlanta at about 1:10 pm. We left out at 2:20. The weather there was nice. When I got home a little while ago, the wind was still gusting.

[KG4CGC]

So, we did get some light rain and lesser wind gusts on Friday. Saturday was pretty sunny and slightly warmer while still clouds lingered. I had to go back to Atlanta on Saturday and as I traveled southwest the clouds from Ian cleared. It was a perfect late Summer day in ATL even though we are in the Autumn of 2022.

Currently:

18035

[edit]
As I was hoping, the brunt of it, the center of the storm veered further east. Myrtle Beach sustained some damage which may or may not have been overstated by the media. In 2005 I noted that the sewer lines, storm drains and water lines run way too close together. One morning I was on the beach for sunrise pictures and there was a hole big enough to walk through where the storm water drains on to the actual beach itself. With a flashlight I could see everything I just described and of course, the sewage pipes were seeping sewage. A couple of years after that bacteria and the illness it caused was being reported as people were getting sick from going to the beach. Not once did anyone ever openly admit it was caused by deteriorating underground infrastructure via the storm drain exits. People getting sick continued to be reported over the years since but they blamed the ocean water.

[KG4CGC]

About 76º and 96% humidity. That's a bit tough to handle in November. Feels like 96º and there's no wind.
Barometer holding steady at 30.19.
Supposed to be warmer tomorrow.

[NQ6U]

Cooler here in SD, with a winter storm out of the Gulf of Alaska on the way.

18048

[PA5COR]

Last rain falling, 13 C here still good temps for November though..

[KG4CGC]

Front yard thermometer got up to 86º today. Yay ... not. 76% humidity. Everybody is running the air.

[WZ7U]

Ha ha ha ha, we're wet and cold here in CN86jc. Went from summer temps (80-90°) to 3 days of fall, to winter just like that.

[NQ6U]

It’s not cold here, but the rain has already begun.

[KG4CGC]

It seemed to be cooling down then Hurricane Nicole brought the moisture and heat back.
When it gets into the high 60's/low 70's with this kind of humidity and you've already been on the adjusting end of the cooler weather it makes it feel downright stuffy and there's nothing you can do about it except turn on the air or go for a ride.

So, Thursday was a bunch of rain and Friday was just that warm stuffy weather without a lot of air movement. Currently I have 64º. Forecast high is 71º and the morning low will PLUNGE down to 37º ... and I'll have to start over with getting back on the cooler game page. That was something I was doing the week before, because we had those warm temps again a couple of weeks ago when it was damn near 81º+.

[WZ7U]

Sunny and 50° right now. Going back out for more moving chores while it's dry and sunny.

See ya!

[KG4CGC]

December weather arrived last night. Days in the 40's, nights in the 20's.

[PA5COR]

Last sunny dry day 12 C today first night with freezing temps -1.5 C in the south.
From tomorrow back to normal 9C daytime, 3 to 5 C night's and some rain more windy as well.

[NQ6U]

Autumn Santa Ana winds kicking in this week. We’re fairly sheltered from them here compared to other areas of SoCal but they should make for some interesting sailing conditions when I take the boat out on Wednesday.

[KG4CGC]

Storms, rain etc. Coming through. Instruments say the sky is very charged.
People in Mississippi have to tie down their Christmas decorations.
Mid 60's and rain here today, possible thunder but yeah, there's a lot of energy in the atmosphere.

Getting colder here, few degrees C below 0 nights ad just above 0 daytime, chance on a bit sleet wet snow later...

Went out fishing* in the dinghy yesterday, got rained on and then had to head back early because of too much wind-generated chop on the bay. Planned to go sailing today and, of course, there was not a breath of wind. At least, not until after 14:00, too late to go out on these short days. The sun sets early here because we're so far east in the Pacific Time Zone (almost due south of Boise, ID, which is in Mountain Time).

So I worked on the boat instead. New switch and panel for the bilge pump, installed reefing nettles in the mainsail, lubed the mainsail track, rove a new main sheet with some really pretty blue 3/8" polyester double-braid and a bunch of general clean-up. Productive day.

*Ella caught a 35" 17 lb California halibut. Very nice fish!

It is a nice fish a little on the small size we are catching them in Canadian waters at 80 pounds plus.We of course now into the threepeat La Nina and lately night time temperatures of -5 C, already had a 20 cm dump of snow a couple of days ago.Enthusiastically waiting for the El Nino the scientists say will drive the world over a few tipping points of no return possibly on and on.Oh well :dunno:

[NQ6U]

Different species. What you’re catching is the Pacific halibut, which don’t range this far south. What we catch down here is the California halibut which is smaller but meaner, with nasty sharp teeth. There is a running joke in places where you can catch both species:

Q: How can you tell the difference between a Pacific halibut and a California halibut?

A: Stick your finger in its mouth. If you get it back, it’s not a California halibut.

The predicted low was 11.
At 5 am my front yard thermometer matched the actual low at 7.
I believe this is a record low.

Wet and blustery (west 15-20 kts) here on New Years Day. Big change from just a week ago. Otherwise, 2023 does not seem significantly different from 2022 so far. I even have to open the store this morning, just like on any other Sunday.

Nice day—72°F and single-digit humidity with east/northeast winds blowing at 15kts. Yep, it’s Santa Ana time in SoCal!

Whenever it happens, I always think of this quote from Raymond Chandler:


“There was a desert wind blowing that night. It was one of those hot dry Santa Anas that
come down through the mountain passes and curl your hair and make your nerves jump and your skin
itch. On nights like that every booze party ends in a fight. Meek little wives feel the edge of the carving
knife and study their husbands' necks. Anything can happen. You can even get a full glass of beer at a
cocktail lounge.”

[NQ6U]

Windy AF all night and continuing this morning: 20-30 kts with gusts to 40. I usually ride my bike to work—it’s only about a kilometer—but I'm thinkin' I may walk to work today because trying to ride my bike through this would be no fun. (Just FYI, I don’t own a car anymore, we use Ella's.)

Beat the storm today coming back from Atlanta but while I did my paperwork in Greenville it arrived.
It rained so hard on the way home I was going 5 mph with my hazards on and leaning forward as if was going to help me see better through the windshield.
A car was in my lane headed towards me as I approached downtown. I'm sure they had no idea what lane they were in. Fortunately I had a lane to my right to swing over to and go around them.
The windshield wipers on high could not keep up and passing under a street light made it beyond impossible to see the road. Then suddenly it stopped and there was a river running through the road draining from everything and everywhere.

Took a while to stay consistently warmer so far this year. Night temps still getting down into the upper 50's.
When it gets wet it lingers for a while then we'll get a couple of drying days. So far this week has been dryer than usual all things considered.
Currently it is 83º, light wind and sunny. 36% humidity which is unusual since historically it is around 80% but this year has not been usual. Uneventful but not usual.

Very little rain in the forecast.

What usually wrecks boats during hurricanes is storm surge. There is expected to be little or no storm surge associated with Hilary. It doesn’t hurt that the lowest atmospheric pressure will hit us right a low tide tomorrow morning.

[KG4CGC]

What's the almanac say for this Winter? For my area, the SE, I pretty much agree. I can't speak to other areas which I do not have a "feel" for.
Chime in with your opinions for your areas and your ... "feels."

Region 1: Northeast — “The snowiest stretches occur in mid-to late November, mid-December and early to mid-January,” the Almanac says. Overall, the temps appear to be tracking above normal, with chilly spurts in mid- to late November, early to mid-January, and early to mid-February.

Region 2: Atlantic Corridor — Snowfall is expected to be 2 to 3 inches above monthly averages, with the snowiest parts of the season at the tail end of December, late January, and mid-February. Temperatures should be above normal, except for a cold spell from late January to the middle of February.

Region 3: Appalachians — You may notice above-normal overall precipitation and snowfall, however. As far as the mercury levels, they are on track to be just below average.

Region 4: Southeast — While it’s unlikely to be a white Christmas, it might be a wet one, folks! Overall precipitation rates seem higher than usual, as do temps, which are expected to be mild and slightly above normal.

Region 5: Florida — Wet and mild rules the day for most of the state (except the dryer south). Snowbirds will be happy to hear that Florida’s winter temps are anticipated to be milder than usual this year.

Region 6: Lower Lakes — North of I-90, Santa might bring you a white Christmas! Beyond that, the snowy, colder-than-average periods are expected for late January through mid-February.

Region 7: Ohio Valley — With a wetter and colder than usual winter on the horizon, residents can look forward to a snowy week around Hanukkah and Christmas. “The coldest spells will occur in late December, early January, and late January through mid-February,” the authors say.

Region 8: Deep South — Get your rain boots ready; you’ll need them for much of the wet and mild yet colder-than-common season. The chilliest times are forecasted for late December, early and late January, as well as early February.

Region 9: Upper Midwest — Go ahead and start dreaming of a white Christmas, because the authors claim that this is one of the few regions that is expected to entirely be treated to a fluffy, white gift on December 25. Winter temps are anticipated to be below normal, especially during the second half of November, the majority of December, the start and end of January, and early February. Snowfall is also expected to be above normal rates.

Region 10: Heartland — Keep that scarf handy. The forecast for this region includes colder than normal climate. You can also anticipate a white Christmas, with winter’s snowy peak from late December to mid-January.

Region 11: Texas-Oklahoma — With just a bit more precipitation and temps leaning ever so colder in the north but warmer in the south, conditions are looking about on par for the course in these states.

Region 12: High Plains — Precipitation and snowfall will be a bit higher than most years, and “it will be extra cold,” the Almanac explains, with the glacial temps foreshadowed for late November, late December, and early to mid-January.

Region 13: Intermountain — Who’s ready for some soup? Temps are prophesied to be an estimated 4° F below average, and “we’re looking at above-normal snowfall. The snowiest periods will be in mid- to late November, early and late January, and mid-February,” the authors claim. “Expect a white Christmas!”

Region 14: Desert Southwest — In parts of this region that typically receive snow, folks can await more flakes than normal, with the snowiest times during the second half of January and mid-February. Temps will be cooler than usual, especially in late November, at the start and end of December, and throughout late January.

Region 15: Pacific Northwest — Although this region is known for its frequently dreary conditions, residents can look forward to a colder yet drier-than-normal winter. The coldest weeks will fall in mid-November, late December, and mid-January.

Region 16: Pacific Southwest — It’s going to be a wet, stormy, and cold season, with the most precip predicted during early and late January, early to mid-February, and mid-March.

Region 17: Alaska — With a white Christmas and snowier-than-usual season ahead, you may guess that it will also be a frigid season. But the Almanac claims that temps should be about 4° F above average.

Region 18: Hawaii — Rainy and mild is the M.O. for the islands, the Almanac predicts. “Expect the stormiest periods in early November in the east and early January and mid-February.”

[NQ6U]

Not a bad guess on the Pacific Southwest since there’s an strong El Niño forming right now. That generally (but not always) leads to a wet winter in central to southern California. Typically not a cold one, though.

[PA5COR]

Sitting here in 87 F or 30.4 C i cannot say what winter will be, if the past 15 years are a guideline, i bet it is a prolonged Autumn, rain, cold, almost no frost just depressing weather.
Nothing to look forward to.

Region 15 - not too far off, unfortunately. Fall is underway here in CN86jc, started a week ago in earnest.

66°, partly cloudy

[KG4CGC]

38ºF (3.3ºC) this morning and expected for tomorrow morning. Rest of the week the lows should spurt back up. to the low 60's (15-21ºC).

[PA5COR]

Las relative warm week ahead 20 C daytime, around 14 C nights dry first, later more rain showers possible, temps going back to 14 C daytime.
Winter comes though last 10 winters were more prolongated autumns.
Which is good for a low heating bill....

[WZ7U]

Rain is forecast in the high 70 percent for tomorrow. The sun has checked back out for warmer climes it seems after today. Glad I got the majority of the "do in the dry" stuff done. I'll wing the rest of it.

Except for a couple weeks worth of record heat, this was a very pleasant summer here in CN86jc this last year.
