We Could Talk About The Weather

Well past peak foliage here. Had a 10 minute 60-70 MPH burst of wind yesterday morning. Sounded like a train with white sheets of rain falling sideways. Should be in the upper 20s by Monday morning. I hold out hope for a month or two of cold followed by above normal temps in Feb. The locals said the 8 or 10 feet of snow we got last winter was lower than usual. I think we'll get the usual this year. Got snowed in for 3 weeks last winter too.

When I was up in the Adirondacks a couple decades ago I got snowed in for two months until the spring thaw. There was no way in or out. When I retire and head up to the Yukon I expect to be snowed in regularly for the entire winter season which lasts quite long up there. Well, it still beats dodging falling trees in the hurricanes and having to take shelter from the tornadoes down here.

Clear, sunny and 62°F (17°C) here. You know—another perfect day in San Diego. Yawn.

Just had another gale force 8 here hailstorm, and mixed with several twisters doing some serious damage in the Netherlands, cars thrown over or pulled up and thrown down 25 50 yards awway, damage on houses and larger structures.
Thursday the next storm...

Sounds like your getting American style weather over there. Pretty unusual. Could possibly be related to climate change. Or perhaps normal coincidence.

There is a tendency over the last decades to have more tornado's and waterspouts, more storms, = more energy in the weather and atmosphere.
Combined with the 5 colder winters the last years, more snow and blockings that caused that, less ice on the arctic seen as cause for the blocking, something weird is going on.
Luckily i build my antenna setups wuthh 316 stainless steel including guy wires etc.

Time will tell.

Then time will tell
Who has fell
And who's been left behind
When you go your way and I go mine

All the leaves are brown,
And the sky is gray...

Western circulation now, mostly that will stay for a long time, bringing wet and moderate temperatures over Europe, and stormy season.
Contrary to the USA and UK weather boffins expectations about a new "horror" winter i expect with the western circulation more stormy weather moist and temps above 0 till the end of December.

January and February might bring some more temps below 0 but i expect no real harsh winter, certainly not a "horror" winter.
Something we normally have in ourr moderate sea climate.
Still leaves on the trees, 6 C now in the morning, drizzling rain.

There's the Joan Jettstream and the Gulfstream, together now dragging America's weather in their wake Europe gets it full on. There can be no other explanation unless you ask Al Gorey and he'll blame it on global warming, ask Julia Gillard and she'll tax your CO2. You just can't win mixing weather and politics.
