We're almost to winter and I'm still waiting on fall. I started off December with the temperature inside my house being 80 degrees. It's finally cooled off so that shouldn't happen again until spring, but we're still seeing a lot of days where the temp outside is in the low 80's. It was just plain hot while I was putting up Christmas lights at a neighbor's house.

"Meteorological autumn (September - November) was the warmest in 121 years of recordkeeping for the 48 contiguous U.S. states, according to NOAA's national wrapup of November and fall conditions released Wednesday morning. The national average of 56.8°F was a full 3.3°F above the 20th-century average and 0.2°F above the previous record of 56.6°F (Sep-Nov 1963). Only one state (Florida) had its warmest autumn on record, but the nation as a whole still came out on top because of the rare coast-to-coast nature of the warmth."
And I see just posted, a look at the 2016 hurricane season:

I don't know if an outlook this far out is as good as a groundhog or darts, but there it is. Direct link to PDF:

I just want to know if I can look forward to some more seasonal temperatures soon. Forget the fireplace, I can roast some nuts out on the driveway in the sun. |
