Per the euro looks like a lot of storms off the coast as it seems the coast gets more than inland areas
Whats the latest, I have been lacking on keeping tabs on the updates. Kinda boring lately so I'm just winging it. Last I checked there weren't any coastals. It was Appalachian runners.

Looking like Christmas will be mild or warm this year unfortunately. .

3 of the last 4 Christmas Days here has been above 50°. December has not been nice to us recently. Normal is 39°

I read many studies that prove this. Something about lack of solar radiation burning off particles. Probably why there's a cooling effect on the planet when the sun is not producing. Should mean warmer nights though with the clouds.
This summer was cloudy here and I assume with all the rain events Long Island was too. I see Islip had 3"+ every month this summer. 6"+ in August. Was pretty much raining every other day.

Pink is sleet on the radar but sometimes the radar is not picking up exactly whats falling at the surface. Thats why we need ground reports from people or the metars from the stations. Yup. NYC recorded a Trace for that day.

Dec 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 was nice! Sunny. Then starting the 8th, back to this cloudy BS. Looking at my log from 9th - 17th there were always clouds around but sun mixed in a few days, mostly in the mornings.
never quite understood how sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) works. so we're getting SSW but because there's not blocking in the right location, the west is getting cold rather than the east?
In short, major and sudden warming of the Stratosphere destroys the Polar Vortex which means it breaks off into pieces. Where the pieces go is the question. It causes changes in weather patterns. But we need a Negative NAO for us to really feel the effects.
Watch Steve D explain it. It's from 2013 but worth a listen. (BTW, after this event, Feb & March 2013 were below normal with lots of snows)
Foggy and 44 in Austin this morning because the temp tried to slip below the dewpoint (naughty naughty naughty) so the result is fog. High of 64 today and sun will burn off the fog by noon. High of 66 tomorrow before next blue norther lowers humidity but raises the temps because of solar exposure. I'm liking this winter a lot after a way too cool fall. We had mid 40's and rain in October, which refilled our reservoirs but cut short lake season. Usually I can keep going to the lake until November but the lakes were closed for a while due to the debris and when they reopened it was too cold. So, hoping for a very mild and uneventful winter with good amounts of rain scattered here and there and then hoping for a very sunny and warm spring to make up for boating season cut short.
