Northern weather

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Nice enough day here cleaning up and everything settling down back to the usual level of sub-normal.

Weather is good enough to be painting outside and to be rebuilding an old home-made belt sander that my grandfather made better than 40 years ago. I'll give it to my son and let him pass it down the line someday.

Almanac says we're in for one of the coldest winters in 'years.' Should you trust it?

We're in for a chilly winter. At least, that's what is being predicted in this year's "Old Farmer's Almanac."

The newest edition of the 230-year-old series projects the 2021-22 winter as a particularly cold one, dubbing it the "season of shivers." The almanac's editor, Janice Stillman, says it could even be "one of the longest and coldest that we’ve seen in years."

The almanac, which has often stirred up debate about its accuracy, suggests this winter will deal an icy combo of above-average snowfall and below-average temperatures in the New England area, as well as parts of the Appalachian region, the Ohio Valley and the northern part of the Deep South. Interestingly enough, it predicts a colder and snowier-than-usual winter for southern New Mexico, as well.

Much of the western U.S., an area already besieged by drought, should expect more dryness, the almanac projects. Nearly all of California, currently battling the raging Caldor Fire near Lake Tahoe, is pegged for a mild and dry winter, along with most of Arizona and parts of western Washington and Oregon.

Anything under 65 is nearly unbearable and over 75 is a scorcher!

Never had it to date, just a couple lousy window units! Back when I had the house built, I was TOUGH, didn't need air. Little did I know I would grow up to be a Wuss!

Completely understand -- did not have A/C until I went to grad school; never looked back. Never had it at the house in PA - got a window unit and now we all wonder why we never did that decades ago.

Might have to swim for it here in central Maryland...a bit more than four inches of rain in the gauge this AM and it's still coming down. Fortunate to be up on a ridge.

We hit 52 this morning in the OKC area, which is pretty unusual, but nice. Rest of the week will be low in the 60's, which is more typical and highs in the 80's. Nice to be done with the high 90's.

[healey36]

Amen.

Sun finally came out here but trees down, roads flooded, cattle raped, and women stampeded....
