Yeah its a mess in so many places... NYState thruway closed down from flooding. 10,000 people told to evacuate Bingmanton NY... PA flooding is crazy. Rivers over their banks and some above record flood stage.

Evacuation: Broome County: 10,000 Expected To Be Evacuated | WBNG-TV: News, Sports and Weather Binghamton, New York | Local

NYState Thruway Closures: New York State Thruway Authority

Looks like the MidWest Flooding of the Spring is becoming NorthEast flooding of the fall.

Over a foot of rain just in 5 weeks in our area.

Heavy bands within a few hours again.

Chance of rain next 4 days.

This is because of Lee...and Lee can't move out because of Katia. So basically the 2 systems are pushing against eachother and squeezing everything over us!

Yup. Its the pattern we're in. Should come out of it by mid October. Patterns usually last 6-10weeks. Sometimes we get a quick 4 week pattern or a long 12 wek pattern. These are just my own observations past few years.

Call a Chimney place. A place that has fireplaces and wood stoves. Or just a general contractor. Either its the Damper or some loose cement around the bricks and Flue.

Considering that the all-time September low temperature for Central Park (which has a big 'heat island effect' that keeps the lows higher than surrounding areas) is 39 (and that occurred at the very end of the month) I find those numbers hard to believe.......lows in the mid-upper 40s though unusual for there I would find believable. Also consider that "low temperatures" in the park have gone up much more than high temperatures in the last few decades.....the last "record low for the date" to be broken outright there (as opposed to "tied") actually occured in the 80s (I believe the 54 on July 4, 1986).....all other daily record lows achieved since then in CPK only tied an existing record (i.e. 39 degrees for Oct 9, 1999, 44 degrees for Sept. 19, 1990, 1 deg in Jan. 2004 but I don't know the date)

Nice stats.

Yeah I dont believe it either. GFS sometimes goes overboard. But there is a Cold shot coming. You're going to step outside one morning and be like ..Huh?

I need to clean my wood stove.

My thinking is Litchfield, Hartford, Tolland, Windham 42-46 degrees midnight to 8am couple days next week.

Fairfield, New Haven, Middlesex, New London 46-52 degrees as the night low.

Yup! We're officially back to LaNina now after being Neutral for a little. It was forecasted to do so but they are saying its quicker to develop and stronger than forecasted.

This image will update when they do. To keep this simple...below .50 is La Nina. Above .50 is El Nino. Last winter a LONG COLD winter for us was a "Strong" La Nina.

Models were forecasting this winter to be weak maybe moderate. Now look. Black dashed lines represents the average of the models.... Is it me or is La Nina forecasted to be stronger then last winter????? More firewood please.

Here's the link to La Nina is back story:

NOAA

NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center: La Niña is back

La Niña, which contributed to extreme weather around the globe during the first half of 2011, has re-emerged in the tropical Pacific Ocean and is forecast to gradually strengthen and continue into winter. Today, forecasters with NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center upgraded last month’s La Niña Watch to a La Niña Advisory.
