I’ve always noticed that the 1st week of November seems to be when the real change happens,…when we can jump from almost summer to winter and never look back…although last November was insanely mild and i hardly ran the furnace.
The GFS did suggest a cold shot around that Nov 1st but the more recent runs have backed off of that and show 60Fs that first week of Nov…so who knows.
I don’t look forward to winter, but man…the warm seasons lately have been sooooo long it seems. Even up here, we’ve been mild since about early April and its almost November… last winter outside of some ice storms, it really was nothing to complain about. Mild///not much snow.
I’ve been cutting ash trees on our of our property lines to allow red oaks and sugar maples to grow & thrive more. Our property is absolutely full of ash but our new home will not have wood burning heat sources. I guess that I could make some money by allowing more to be harvested but much of our wooded area was thinned out about 6 years ago. We still have many ash trees & I really dislike them (last to get leaves & first to lose them). I am aware of the Emerald Ash Borer supposedly heading our way sooner or later.
Doesn’t the sameness of the weather get boring? You need a severe t storm, an Alberta clipper, a surprise 4" cloud burst, something, anything, different. But endless warmth and bright sunshine day after day…boring.
still hanging in the low 60’s during the day. should be upper 40’s by now but I’m not complaining. saving on heating and still able to comfortably work in the yard.
