My boys and I competed in the Philadelphia Disc Golf open this past weekend. All three of us "cashed" and took home some prizes. So cool to share a new sport with the juniors. Looking forward to playing Manufacturers CC next week for a long awaited round of regular golf since my golf ball to the face hospital incident this past May. All healed and ready to tear it up

When I get bored I cook/bake. This is the first time I e ever made a pie completely from scratch. Made an apple crumb pie yesterday afternoon Taste amazing.

Beautiful day to try the Chester Valley Trail for the first time. We parked at Exton Park and rode 5 miles east to Wegmans for lunch. Enjoyed it quite a bit!

The exception may be let's say leaving the door open for November to undo October if the month is warm. It is still not a slam dunk as the 5 cold Novembers that have followed the 10 warmest Octobers have had 3 cold winters out of five. From FB Post: A long, long, long time ago when I was an intern at Newark, I did a study on the relationship between fall temperatures and ensuing winters for NYC from 1900-87. The strongest correlations were warm October, warmer winter; cold November, colder winters. I wish I could find the graph, but October was a flat line (by decadal averages) duri

Heads up guys/gals I had to install latest version of this forum and it messed up the theme a bit. Working with the guy who created it to fix the issues but it may take a few days.

Exactly, we seem to usually go in the other direction of most pre winter forecasts. Wasn’t it last season a lot of people called for an historic winter? You guys stick to the pro stuff I’ll weenie myself out with the almanac, more exciting, and when I say almanac I mean the heisy almanac. 60s during the week and blizzards on the weekend....heisy is back baby.

I am going to use this photo from our hometown FB page as a metaphor that better days are ahead.

After years of searching, I’ve finally found (and purchased) my dream cottage in Harrington, Maine! It’s “off the grid” so now I need help finding the best cellular weather station and cellular security camera so I can keep tabs on things remotely when I’m not there! Thank you for any thoughts you have!

Played Jack Frost Nat'l for the 1st time today, couldn't have picked a better golf day, course was in fantastic shape, definitely play there again

It's going to be interesting to see how this Nina plays out because we honestly haven't seen one like this year in a while or maybe forever. While, the cool anomalies along the equator we have seen, the amount of bath water throughout the pacific is something we haven't seen combined with a moderate Nina. While I do think tropical forcing is not going ot be favorable for us for most of the winter one thing that I do like right now with SST is all that warm water stacked up along the west coast. If you look at all the bad la ninas we had in the past there was cool water along the west coast so

Nice day out in Lancaster Co. for some pumpkin picking and sweet treats.

Welcome to October, normally a great transition month with plenty of variety. 1st frost & freeze for many in the area, tropics still solidly in play, last taste of summer time warmth & yes the possibility of the that four letter S word making an appearance. Unfortunately over the past 10 years the month has been marred by unprecedented warmth, officially at PHL there hasn't been a below average OCT since 2009 & since 2010 the month has averaged 2.5 degrees above 57.5 degree monthly average. Some OCT climo facts & figures for Philadelphia: Highest temp - 96 (10/5/1941)

Congratulations to @White_Mtn_Wx for winning the contest and will spend many a snowy evening reading about SuperStorm Sandy! Philly's high was 97F, there were 36 days with highs of 90F or higher and there were a combined 275 severe weather warnings issued by Mount Holly between June 1st & September 30th ( @Chubbs came closest with that). Other honorable mentions @PreserveJon had the right highest temperature & @Parsley had the correct number of 90 degree days. Thank-you everyone for participating!

33.3F at 7 a.m.

This is an important post as it heralds the unofficial start of PhillyWx weenie winter. When Heisi comes out of summer hiding, sound the trumpets, bookmark your favorite winter pages, apologize in advance to your family and friends, and prepare for emotional swings and long, dark, lonely nights as weenies unite for a hopefully less depressing winter ahead.

Shark River in Neptune City, NJ yesterday, added one to our foursome for a hole, fox literally followed a few feet behind us for the entire hole Pine Barrens in Jackson, NJ today, awesome course & quite a workout from the 6700 yd blue tees in the wind, relative to my skill level was doing pretty well thru 10 holes then the proverbial doo doo hit the fan.

Beautiful start.

Patchy light frost (mostly non frost on grass)- Good thing we brought the sensitive plants in ytday

Great night for...

Tom will be glad the figs are alright here.

a few shots from Jack Frost Nat'l today, beautiful very warm relative to average day in the upper 60's leaves are already past peak at the highest elevations

What I wanna know is: did he cast a shadow? I think we're looking at another month and a half of autumn.

Heading up to Jim Thorpe for the first time this weekend. We got an Airbnb cabin about twenty minutes outside the town near Beltzville State Park. Foliage should be nice with the recent chilly weather.

Almost 3 weeks to go till The most wonderful time of the year begins

@Rainshadow5.8do you think your yard will ever look like this

thru yesterday PHL hanging on to a below average month by the slimmest of margins, that will end after today PHL SEPT average is 69.1 degrees, current forecast would project out to a 69.4 degree finish, not below average but the not a top 10 warm month & the coolest SEPT since 2013 feels like a win. Prior to the start of the official / unofficial summer stretch from May-Sept if you would have offered me no 90 days MAY & SEPT, a JUN max temp of 92, an AUG max temp of 93 & a July max temp of 97 degrees I would have said where do I sign. It was all about a toasty July &

Nice, I had some earlier this year too

Here are the Philly averages over different timeframes including the recent trends since 2010 & the current status of the pending 1991-2020 climate normal. These figures are pure averages & don't take into account any potential smoothing or adjustments from the Climate Center. The only below average month since 2010 has been NOV, likewise that's the only month that wouldn't see an average increase for the pending 30 year normal. With that being said there's still next month to go so a torch month could change that scenario. Regarding MAR while 6 of the past 11 years have be

I estimated badly looking at the camera the other day. We actually had 10" of snow here near Colebrook, NH. Mostly all gone except in the woods. It's been in the mid 50's in the day and mid 40's at night with a snoweater wind.

Couldn’t be happier with this year’s aerate and overseed. The weather the past 4 weeks has been perfect for it. (Just had to water a lot the first 10 or so days). Mowing every 3 days now.

Pretty sure that orange tint is the fall foliage progressing further along in the Appalachians up into interior New England than it is along the coast. Neat to see that difference from space.

Classic la-la-land for the GFS, come for the major landfalling hurricane in Florida, stay for the blizzard.

Probably can seed it up till Feb 2021 with the warm winter on the way. 😆 You'll be fine, probably a week or two left.

Maybe this is more frequent than it seems to me, but CONUS is exceptionally cloud-free today

Backyard is a work in progress with way more clover but we have a major project in the months ahead so a lot will get torn up and removed with a paver patio/fire pit going in. Notice the difference at the back of my property where the open space is. No watering or fert. happening back there.

Here’s my front yard after overseed. 2 years in a row. Prior to that is a a barren wasteland from new construction. Battling some clover still but I’ll try and kill the rest of in spring.

Book received. Thanks Tony for the prize and the nicely articulated signing! 😊

nothing like a beautiful fall weekend & waking up MON morning to a 1st place football team - LOL colors starting noticeably earlier this year, locally the cooler weather & near average precip over the past 2 months should be good combo for the leaves this season, last year was definitely a crappy color change with the extended hot dry period from SEPT into early OCT

Saw a link to this blog in Mike Ventrice's twitter. Simple explanation of how ENSO and MJO interact. https://climate.gov/news-features/blogs/enso/catch-wave-how-waves-mjo-and-enso-impact-us-rainfall

After the 2018 season the Eagles were forced to decide between Wentz or Foles, there was no way from a cap standpoint they could pay a backup QB $20M+ / year. The decision to choose Wentz was the correct one at that time. Wentz certainly has issues but with that being said by far the biggest problem with the organization is the front office particularly Howie. Since 2017 the drafts have been horrendous which is why they are forced to spend $$$ signing aging free agents & subsequently are currently up against the cap. You don't recover from drafting Arcega-Whiteside over D.K. Metcalf. The O

Completely off the wall, but I found this link to the 2/2010 500mb map in motion on my computer. Mods, if you flag this as porn, I'll understand and accept the consequences! http://www.met.sjsu.edu/weather/archive/GFS_NA/0210/500/animate.htm p.s. you can change the url on the link for other months too!

Had Dogfish Head Punkin Ale the other night and loved it. Really good stuff.

Can't remember where I posted this previously, but the PreserveJon clan is moving from Towson, MD to Hudson, Mass. Between leaving here and settling in November, we'll be on Cape Cod. Never been, so we're all looking forward to it.

-nao is on par with dinosaurs and cabbage patch kids for historical reference only

The figs are alright.

47 degrees this morning at PHL, this marks the 4th consecutive day with a low in the 40's. That hasn't happened in SEPT since 1985.

38.8F in Mount Laurel.

I haven't been on for a while and have had quite a number of good beers. This is a very good one (if you are a fan of this style, which I am). I hope everyone is enjoying their libation of choice!

Up here in NH the next week. Tonight: Tonight Patchy frost between 9pm and 4am. Otherwise, increasing clouds, with a low around 26. Northwest wind around 5 mph becoming calm. 51 right now with a stiff NW wind.
