Duc....that little orb shines alot better south of CT...just saying.

November quickly trending toward normal, however:

It has been beautiful here on Long Island. A whole week of 60 degrees. Today...not so much...mid 40's at best.

This weekend 60's again. After filling my home oil tank once already....BRING ON THE WARM WEATHER!!!!

^^ despite the rain, curb ^^. Fired the wood stove for the second time this season. Been busy as a beaver splitting and stacking at the back door.

Don't take all the wood baah ha

It's official: driest fall on record in upper midwest, going back 141 years of record-keeping.

Anecdotally speaking here in northern VT it's been VERY mild. We didn't turn the furnace on until Nov 18, the latest we ever did it (every year we see how long we can hold out for, just using the woodstove if anything LOL).

It was 57 degrees yesterday.

Lolz.

My boi emailed me from Montreal for the preemptory Xmas foolishness planning. He told me it was 10C and no snow. I told him it was 70 here, and I was out stacking and splitting in a wife-beater and assless chaps (New York style, or would that be San Fran ?)

Minneapolis had 0.29 inches of precipitation in November; it's like a chilly desert.

Same here, absolutely nothing as for November in Central Europe.

Same here. Cold Siberian air has stalled repeatedly in Mongolia.

Cold and dry here in Tahoe.

We had ~5ft of snow last year by this time. Almost nothing on the ground this season so far.

Check back the end of Feb...

Tonight is the coldest night forecast for the next month in my local.

cold in Sydney...coldest start to a summer in about 50 years in fact.

We're having our first real cold snap of the year, now. It was 22 when I got up this morning, and tomorrow's low will be in the high teens. But the sun is managing to push the high into the 40s, so still not a real wintry feel, yet. Sunny and 40 still lets you get some decent work done...

Last year was a record snowfall in Tahoe/Sierras, with unusually strong early-season storms. Deepest snowpack in a long time. Like comparing cherries to strawberries.
Speaking of which, I thought cherry-picking data was beneath tf'ers.
Well, enjoy your bings anyways.

I've heard people rave about Evelyn Browning Garris' predictions:

"Evelyn Garriss Says Look Out For La Niña, Its Going to be a Cold and Stormy Winter in the Northern Hemisphere
Continuing drought in US will have serious impact on cotton, winter wheat and beef in particular

So...it's going to be stormy with droughts?

Both bases covered, I see.

Got it.

"...known as "The Weather Lady" in Canada and has given presentations from Singapore to London, and throughout North America on climate and its effect on the world. This week Evelyn discusses how she believes we’ve reached a climate tipping point, and why massive climate disruption lies ahead...."

I predict a 60% increase in the number of fast-buck charlatans mongering panic to credulous rubes

First hard freeze happened last night.

Ben,

Your post is meaningless without a location for context.

Ben probably thinks everyone knows where he is. I thought everyone knew where he is.
