November is looking very torchy Not to be pessimistic  but the entirety of Winter into 2024 looks that way. Might be the year of the no Winter. Some of the outlooks coming out of surrounding TV stations don't look promising either. Doubt we'll be any different. |

I'm for keeping DST permanent, for the record; but here's a nice interactive graph.
Interesting, this article is against DST year round. It's saying CST (time we are on now) is the best year round option. This article makes a lot of good points. I agree with it. Thanks for sharing! |

November is looking very torchy Yeah, lots of ridging overall in the mid/long term charts. Not very fall-like at all... |

Winter Storm warning criteria for snowfall changing from 6” to 5”  |

I think lowering the threshold for snowfall WSW is appropriate. Average seasonal snowfall has been decreasing as well as occurrence of 6+" events. And we know that at times it takes far less to have major impacts around here. Even if these averages were to begin increasing again the lower threshold would still be appropriate in my opinion.

I would not be surprised to see us shatter the record high tomorrow! I'm forecast 83, but assuming any morning fog dissipates quickly we will be in a prime set-up for rapid warming. Ideal wind direction from the southwest under partly sunny skies. We could push mid/upper 80s in a few spots which is crazy to say in November.

77⁰ at 11 AM in November. Should we take bets on what the high temperature will be this afternoon?

Rest of November, doesn't look much better. More 70s and even close to an 80*F showing up around Thanksgiving week when everyone will be roasting their turkeys. At least there might be a solid shot of some rain that week. Oh, that'll probably disappear too as we get closer. At this point the upper 50s and 60s we get the rest of this week will feel like a cold snap.

Watching Reuters live coverage in Gaza and I will say those journalists have cojones of solid steel. A missile struck right by the hospital and the guy behind the video camera barely moved. I would've needed a change of pants.

We need some rain (at least in my backyard) desperately. My pond is as low as I've seen it since it was built in 2006.

With all of this calm and rather boring weather we've had for quite some time, you gotta believe at some point it is going to turn rather chaotic, and sooner rather than later...
Also, hard to believe we were 84 degrees yesterday when a year ago I had 6 inches of snow in Ste. Gen on opening deer season morning.

Also, hard to believe we were 84 degrees yesterday when a year ago I had 6 inches of snow in Ste. Gen on opening deer season morning. Thanksgiving Week looks like the flop back to a stormier pattern across the continent, but looks to be focused on the West and East Coasts with maybe a Mid-Latitude Cyclone passing through around Thanksgiving time or the weekend following. We look to be on the warm side of whatever comes. But does look like some severe storms and one or 2 heavy snow events/blizzards in the country between the 18-28th time frame.
Rather enjoying being able to keep on top of the leaves this season though! As much as people would hate it, I wish it was warm all the way to December, then flip it to cold and wintry patterns. Get all the leaves and holiday decorations up first!  |

Does anyone know why there was such an awful smell in the air today in Ironton, Farmington, and Fredericktown? I saw lots of people talking about it on social media, but nobody seems to know what it is from. So weird!!!!

12z GFS looks very close to spitting out some back deformation snows for next Fri (11/17). I'm sure it will disappear soon haha. Only thing interesting until something big starts brewing later towards Thanksgiving week.

Yes, some of the long range charts are picking up on a change late month...CFS...which is crap but fun to look at has been much more active with cold infiltrating the Country around Thanksgiving. The long range Euro way out has some impressive Cold in Mid December...I know it will change but I believe the Cards are starting to be put on the table...wait and see. I believe the Winter Cxl was a bit premature...Sorry Belleville Wx..I may certainly be wrong but I believe it's going to be better than you might expect. I will do my lights next week since it's warming again but with the hope, I'm ahead of the curve and it gets Wintery after!! One can hope.
