What kind of correlation is there between a cold Sept/Oct and a cold winter where you live? Practically none here - to give one example, the last really cold October (1974), was followed by a near-record warm December (even warmer than the October!) and a snowless winter for Hampstead, though we did get 13 snow days in spring 1975. Conversely, early October 1985 had record-high temperatures (29C if I remember rightly), yet the following February was the coldest month in the past 40 years. We can't keep the weather patterns that bring cold in early autumn going for long enough.

7c heavy rain. Scedhuled high of 8c which is our first single figure max of the season. I'm so thankful it isn't 25c and we aren't having an Indian summer.

Things are looking very worrying indeed for northern England.. over 100mm forecast in 48 hours, up to 6 inches in parts, for some of the UK's biggest urban areas (West Yorkshire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside). Things could potentially get very nasty.

Nasty? 4 inches of rain in 48 hours? Man, that'd be awesome for around here, that'd be perfect for catching up on our rainfall deficit. It's not like 2 inches for 2 days running will cause any sort of massive flooding, so I don't see why that'd be a worry regardless.

But if you don't want it, send it on over here, we could use the rain.

The same as it is where you live - pretty much none, and I think this applies to just about all of the U.S. and southern Canada east of the Rockies.

That's a lot of 30's. It appears that the cold is expanding and moderating as it expands.

Exactly. That is a ton of widespread 30s over a large area of the U.S. That maps looks winterish. I'm loving this espansion and its cooling the soil/surface down too.

Speaking of 30s.... How about minus 30s?

That's a lot of 30's. It appears that the cold is expanding and moderating as it expands.
That's what I've noticed too. That below normal cold in the Northern Plains/upper Midwest seems to keep moderating as it moves out into the southern Plains, Ohio Valley, and all the way to the East Coast. A closer look in my neck of the woods (coastal Northeast/Middle Atlantic), shows that we had mostly 40's and 50's for lows (my low was 50 F this morning). Although for this time of year (late Sept/early Oct) cool shots lack any real power down in the USA.




Here are the forecast highs today. Most of the temps today are closer to normal for this time of year (except for those 90's in the southern Plains I think):

Yep. New England and the rest of Northeast appear safe from frosts; just barely except maybe some spots north will get frosts. The coast should be fine, maybe slightly chilly in the morning. Very happy I'm here rather than in the middle of the country.

Official temp is 45 degrees - 47 here at the house - a bit brisk for September for this far south - but I'm not complaining!
