We Could Talk About The Weather

First snow last night. :monkeydance:

Awesome !!!!

The weather has finally taken a change for the better round here. It's only 50 degrees outside at 11:38 am. I have the windows open and it's a comfortable 65 deg inside. Air conditioners are off, fans off, nice northwesterly wind ushering in cooler air. No high heat, no high humidity, most comfort I have felt in months.

We're catching up to you. It was in the mid to upper 40s here last night. Another 15 degrees and we would've had a hard frost. Leaves are now falling all over the area. No red or orange, just turning brown and hitting the ground. C'mon El Niño.

So the only color is in your avatar, false advertizing is illegal. Just cold here, when we eventually get color it'll be just the usual dull orange and brown... bleh. When the frost is on the pumpkin 'tis the time for Dicky Duncan.

Well, Tommy the Yo Yo Man doesn't rhyme and Smothers Brothers branded yo-yos by companies such as Hummingbird, Playmaxx and Tom Kuhn really louses it up.

Hey, what's with the board making the image so small you can't read the balloons?

Actually the el nino doesn't guarantee you a mild spring-like winter in the northeast. There are a lot of other factors involved such as the NAO. I remember several winters we've had in the past where there was no el nino and it was very mild and a few where we had an el nino and it was very cold. One thing the el nino does tend to do is pump up more moisture. So of we end up getting a cold winter it is possible we might see even higher snow amounts and more major snowstorms than last year. If the winter tends to the milder side we may see a lot more rain, sleet, wet snow, frozen slush and ice. By sometime in late February or March 2015 we'll know for sure how it turned out. The primary area that is most affected by a strong el nino is on the West Coast as it tends to bring in more moisture which eventually falls as rain. Right now they need it to mitigate drought conditions. Unfortunately for the folks out west that need the rain it seems less probable that there will be a strong el-nino, or perhaps any el-nino this fall/winter than it did earlier in the season.

As for me today is the first day the air conditioning didn't have to run all day. It kicked on only once or twice for about 5 minutes. And the less the air conditioner runs the slower the electric meter spins, and the lower is my bill at the end of the month and the less money I fork over to Con Ed the better I feel. :)

In the meantime can you rig me up a gas air conditioner ?
