These last two days have been absolutely gorgeous. Just perfect.

It has not rained in 27 days here. Much of NJ and parts of PA under a drought watch. We've become a desert climate over the last month, cannot remember such a long, nonstop period of such dry air.

This long range is not encouraging

We are supposed to get rain Halloween night during trick or treating. No rain at any other point.

My plane has been broken for 8 weeks. Pretty awesome seeing clear skies every single day while standing on the ground. Fan **** tastic feeling.

We actually got a quarter inch of rain overnight Sunday, after a "cold front" moved in, dropping the temps from mid-80s to upper 60s. Back up to the 70s-80s for the next 10 days. That was a first precip since the first few days of October. Very normal.

TIL what a salt front is. Essentially, it's the furthest point from upstream in a body of water below which the water is not suitable for drinking water because of high salinity. In periods of drought, it moves further up.

Very cool. TIL about salt fronts.

Bull sharks don't care about this one simple trick.

Over 13” of rain in 4 hours

It's getting really bad.

79 degrees on November 5th is disgusting.

Post by **NTP66** » Tue Nov 05, 2024 3:22 pm

I'm enjoying it.

It made the walk to my polling place nice but I’m not a big fan.

Went 36 days without measurable rain. Received .4” on October 1st and last night/early this morning we received .3” of rain.

Yep, same here. Will had a brief shower yesterday, but a good steady rain today for the first time since September.

You guys haven't had rain since Helene? That seems astonishing to me.

Post by **NTP66** » Thu Nov 07, 2024 10:34 am

Gonna wash my car after work since it'll be in the mid-70s.

Yeah, we only got like .05" or something. The bulk of that storm missed us.

Post by **dodint** » Mon Nov 18, 2024 8:24 am

Hmmm.

Wednesday is a high of 64F.
Thursday is a high of 36F and is calling for 3" of snow.

While I don't believe that anything will accumlate, what's happening here?

Also it's forecasting rain/snow every day until at least Dec 2nd for you folks that were whinging that it was too nice for the last month.

Post by **NTP66** » Mon Nov 18, 2024 8:27 am

Guess I should do the leaves today or tomorrow instead of waiting for the weekend then.

Post by **dodint** » Mon Nov 18, 2024 8:36 am

Our lawn guy texted my wife saying he's going to wait one more week to come back and do the last of the leaves. Dude messed up.

Post by **NTP66** » Mon Nov 18, 2024 8:37 am

Our final leaf collection is next week, so I was going to wait until Sat/Sun. 61° today and tomorrow over here? Yeah, no brainer.

Post by **skullman80** » Mon Nov 18, 2024 8:39 am

I got the majority of our leaves over the last couple weekend. I will probably just mulch the rest and call it a season at this point. Not worth the hassle.
