The Weather

[Kratos]

Weather kind of sucks in NY. Summer was fairly rainy and humid. It's been pretty nice the past couple of days though.

Sounded like a pretty cool summer (well, except Central Texas) overall.

Apparently we were sucking the heat from everywhere else...

Unusually cool summer in MS this year.  Maybe one day over 100 and a few nights in July and August that were in the upper 50's.  Typically, we never get below 75 at night from June-mid Sept.  Speaking of Sept, it's usually dry - 2" of rain on average.  Last Saturday ended 16 days in a row of rain with 10.58" in those days.

Currently beautiful!  Upper 40's at night, low 70's during the days.

Lots of rain this summer in Nova Scotia, bring on the snow

Central Texas had a torrid summer. We had over 60 days of 100+ temps and were just one day shy of breaking the record for over-100 days set in 1925.
We are also in what is termed an "exceptional drought", the most severe on the scale.
Luckily, the shifting El Nino pattern is expected to bring a wetter-than-normal winter, so maybe we can make up some of our water deficit.

I confirm what the Bear has posted.  This has been the hottest summer I have experienced in my entire life.  And I've lived in the South all my life (Southern Louisiana, Mississippi, and the Atlanta area included). 

It has only cooled down in the last few weeks and we have been getting rain. (just in time for the huge "Austin City Limits" music festival to be turned into a mudfest).

[aarrggh]

Yeah--It was`nt alot of snow but everything was covered nicely---Had too scrape my truck windows--The roadways were icy too with alot of cars spun off the road and into ditches....Its almost fun time ! !

Gotta love Central Texas, 100+ until just a few weeks ago, today and yesterday never made it out of the 50's.

Next week we should be back to normal 80's.

Had a morning and evening earlier this week where I had to fire up the heat.  A day or two later, it was back to open windows and ceiling fans ... (I refuse to make the power company rich off my less than efficent A/C system!)

[slyatlast]

Snowed here too yesterday but it melted as it hit the ground...the high temp yesterday was 32.  The average temp for yesterday is 62...and the record temp for yesterday was 87.  Our leaves didn't turn color at all this year...they just froze and fell off the trees while they were still green.  Never seen anything like it.
