The Old Farmer's Almanac has just come out with the forecast for the Northeast. More of last winter this winter.
Endless storms with arctic cold courtesy of the Polar Vortex...
Oh, well, hope the heater (which isn't working yet) holds out...

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Coming to an end. Sounds typical for the mountains of upstate NY.Warm days, cool nights. My brother lives 45-50 minutes north of me (technically he's not even in the mountains) and that's typical for summer in his area. While we are having blazing heat and humidity down here he's having much cooler and dryer weather up there. If you love hazy hot humid summer weather you moved to the wrong place. You should have gone further south.

From the article:
But I believe you're right Carl. If El Niño ever gets off of it's arse and does it's normal gig, we should be A-OK this Winter. Highs in the 40s with some snow but manageable. Back in '12, we were in the upper 90s and lower 100s up here. That was summer. Hurricane Sandy FUBAR'd everything with a late October snowstorm. I hope Scotland is the exception and not the rule...Just how accurate are te Almanac’s past predictions? Over 80 percent.

When I was living in Brooklyn a normal summer was in the 100's. My friend up in the Adirondacks has been seeing temps in the 100's to 120's this year. We have been having average temps 30+ degrees lower down here this summer. Strange that this summer the north was much hotter than the south. We haven't even had a severe thunderstorm warning or a tornado watch this summer. However, I am expecting a very severe hurricane to hit Eastern NYC at the very beginning of November. It will be twice the size of Sandy and at least a category 5 or 6.

Leaves started falling from one of the trees here today. Brown ones. Does this mean fall is arriving? In August?

At best they are about as good as a coin flip. Actually a coin flip would be an improvement.
