Looks like a break this weekend to early next week, then back into the oven according to the Euro and GFS. Hopefully this is just a payment for a good winter.

I guess this is our punishment for having a relatively tolerable summer.

So, when is this "mini-ice age" they keep talking about finally going to pay off? Probably around winter 2030-31?
Its almost October and it was 75 this morning, going to be 90 the next 2 days with more 80s to near 90 in the extended. I'm tired of waiting a little longer, it's all we do in the south.
Just listed my house for 45k above what I bought it for 2 yrs ago

I understand the frustration and im there with ya. Its just that ppl act like its never been this warm at this time period before, when this is becoming a norm. Im mean the cool air is coming and we all will be happy soon. If we dont cool down by November then i will -----
Whats the deal with all of these skeeters ? I thought skeeters liked warm, wet weather not dry weather !
I assume you are exaggerating as my all time high in December is 76 degrees. In fact the latest my area has experienced 80 or above was November 11th 2002. I am further north then most on this board but I still can’t imagine 80s are common in December even in Georgia.
you are further north than most on the board but your area also seems to have more extreme heat than places like North GA. You just have more extreme weather in general.
No kidding!! I was just outside watching the ISS flyover and I've got several skeeter bites. I was only out there about 10 minutes.
The worse (worst) 'skeeters ever are found on the UP of Michigan (unless you go salmon fishing in Alaska) ... it's not just a southern thing ... ... now palmetto bugs and chiggers ... we got 'em covered ...
... now palmetto bugs and chiggers ... we got 'em covered ... I can hear the skeeters humming "I didn't know that I was starving til I tasted you" as they are biting my limbs off :

I've heard that about the northern tier. My neighbors are from Minnesota, and they tell stories all the time about the skeeters, flies (including biting flies), etc. up there. NO THANKS! And no thanks to palmettos, either.The worse (worst) 'skeeters ever are found on the UP of Michigan (unless you go salmon fishing in Alaska) ... it's not just a southern thing ...
Strange couldn't win because of his association with ousted governor Robert Bentley (aka Luv Gov), and also all the 'paid for by the Republican leadership fund (aka Mitch McConnell)' attack ads that were run leading up to the election.
Edit: My choice was eliminated in the primary election.

I predict 0" for everyone
Since it always does the opposite of what I predict

I'll raise you one then - I'll predict we have to give back the little bit from the last couple of years ... since I bust a lot worse than you typically!I predict 0" for everyone

Just in time for this upcoming blockbuster winter, they have changed how they issue some watches and warnings from the NWS! Freezing rain advisory, will now simply be a winter weather advisory, and the freezing rain aspect, discussed in the text. Same for like lake effect snow advisory, and a few others we rarely deal with in the south!
I cant imagine skeeters being worse in MN than in the south, especially considering skeeters love warm weather and thats not really a warm climate up there.I've heard that about the northern tier. My neighbors are from Minnesota, and they tell stories all the time about the skeeters, flies (including biting flies), etc. up there. NO THANKS! And no thanks to palmettos, either.
Go to the upper mid-west around the lakes, from June to September, especially the UP, with no "Off" and PM me in 24 hours ... I'll FedEx you an emergency supply ...
But at least they dont have to deal with skeeters as long as we do
... and they are guaranteed snow ...But at least they dont have to deal with skeeters as long as we do
... but they talk so damn funny and eat such weird food ... there's trade-offs in life, everywhere, I suppose ... personally, deep down south is God's country, and I wouldn't trade it for anything - including our own variety of 'skeeters and palmetto bugs ...
(and corn bread and grits and BBQ and collards and ...)

They can have record warmth up north and have a snowstorm at the same time.I also predict record warmth when I go on vacation up north in January/February
yeah but you live in FL, which is basically the north.... and they are guaranteed snow ...

I look at those rankings that come out showing the best and worst states ( and happiest states ) to live in and just about every year the best states are in the north, particularly New England and states like MN and ND. Southern states always come in dead last.
yet more and more people keep moving to the south... look at the fastest growing states
