Went for a super foggy nighttime beach walk and somebody had written creepy messages in the sand. “Leave now” and “you’re gone” and “I kill” so to say I was slightly unnerved is an understatement.

Does anyone know when the updated climate normals (1991-2020) are typically released? Is it usually quickly after the new year, or does it take a few months?
Auburn and Georgia both coming out looking like %^#@ so far today
Could we be looking at a Clemson/Bama Part V? That matchup would be a dog fight.
It's so stupid to have so many bowl games. The Alamo bowl, first responders bowl, cheezit bowl? All of these bowls cheapen the real ones.
A few months unfortunately, but the raw data is available on nowdata of course ! This set of normals will be the most extensive set ever . There will be multiple kinds of normals that are calculated differently ( they did that a bit for 81-10 I can share those for y’all ) , normals for offshore locations in the mid Atlantic ( hopefully southeast as well) , interpolated normals for more places that don’t have stations and more ! Probably won’t be till the spring at earliest that we see any of it.
@Tarheel1 vs onset ice birdman vs not in mby brick vs southeast ridge stew point Stan . Who you got? I think stewpoint Stan comes out on top when he hits everybody with the it can’t snow in March or hit 70 in November card. Could be wrong tho , onset ice birdman might hit everyone with the mega BOOM BOOM WHEN THUNDER ROARDS GO INDOORS CAD. Underdog is brick.
Brick killed a guy.
Based on the NOWDATA, I have calculated the *unofficial* 1991-2020 normals for RDU airport. Interestingly, the 1981-2010 normals on the NOAA website were all 0.3-0.6°F higher than on the NOWDATA website, so it is possible these normals get revised a bit upward (perhaps due to a calibration issue?)
Average high temperature by month (change from official 1981-2010 climo based on NOAA website):

52 sunny degrees at Cape Henlopen State Park in Lewes, De. Here’s to a great 2021 for all
I've spent time in that area. I have a good friend who lives in Milton !
You have to compare the 1991-2020 raw to 1981-2010 raw . Your comparison is raw unadjusted 1991-2020 to adjusted 1981-2010. If we do that RDU actually didn’t warm even a fraction of a degree . However comparing raw 81-10 to raw 91-20 we find the annual mean increased by .7. Here is raw 81-10 vs raw 91-20 which once final normals are published in may , will be the difference between normals 81-10 vs normals 91-20. I made a 1991-2020 box using the raw 91-20 data but with the same changes made to 81-10 to make what I think will likely be close to the final product . Will post it later
