Wilmington is 4.5 or so inches away from 100 inches of precipitation for the year. Can they make it? I doubt it but would be awesome if they did.

Yeah but the Georgia citrus industry is booming, thousands of Georgia acres grow citrus now I believe. It is end of November now so could be some losses. Probably not devestating.

Windy as the devil tonite. Anytime a front passes with colder dropping temps it makes the seeing unsteady in the telescope.

Stars look like steal wool at high pwer.

Never knew that. But is has warmed up so much it won't shock me to see it growing in NY within 45 years.

Lts of snowflakes on the map this evening.


6-10pm loop. Snowing in the mountains of West Virginia. I see some accumulation reports. (T to 2")


Also snowing on the hills of Hudson Valley, CT and Western MA. Radar picking that up nicely.

Snow extent for North America & Northern Hemisphere is "up there". Most since over a decade. Since Mid September N.A snows started increasing and never looked back. Matches 2014-15 & 2010-11 at the moment.





Northern Hemisphere. Started Early-Mid September




Will be interesting to see November numbers when they update it.


Canada: September & October had the most snow coverage on record:





North America: September was snowiest on record. October was 2nd largest coverage of snow.

13F here at 7:22 a.m.

We picked up about an inch of snow overnight. My street and yard are snow covered. It’s still snowing very lightly, but should come to an end soon.

Nice to see the cold on the East side of the Gulf this time. Took till end of November to cool off in Florida.

Looks like Hilton Head at 34 at 7am. Savannah at 32. Not sure what the lows were yet. Probably that or a degree lower maybe
