Although it takes low temperatures for snow... (in the 30's)... I don't believe the snowfall in places like North Dakota and Montana are necessarily due to much lower temperatures... as it is due to more moisture (humidity) in the air... due to climate change (global warming)... the last time I was in Jackson Hole, Montana, it was raining... and the humidity was 3%... it's higher than that these days... Water vapor is the single largest factor in the atmospheric greenhouse effect, so the more effect there is, the more water vapor gets into the atmosphere. Kinda of a vicious circle, eh?

Snowfall due to global warming? I bet you had dinner with Al Gore last night.

Autumnlike Chill, Frost to Grip East This Weekend www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/coolest-air-since-spring-to-re/33889760Temperatures are forecast to dip into the 50s from Boston and New York City to Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. The last time readings were this low was during the first couple of days of June in most cases and in late May in others. The northern and western suburbs of the Interstate-95 cities will dip well down into the 40s. Cities forecast to drop into the 40s this weekend include Pittsburgh, Buffalo, New York, and Burlington, Vermont. Some locations from northern Pennsylvania, upstate New York and northwestern New England will dip into the 30s. Provided skies remain clear and winds diminish, there is a risk of scattered frost for a few hours late Sunday night into Monday morning. While few records are expected to be broken in the East as the cool air settles in at the middle of the month, the fresh cold air made its mark over the Central states this past week.

More accuweather drama/BS. We saw temps in the 50's recently, and I believe set some record low temps in July. Most of this posted forecast has little to do with this area.

Everything now is due to climate change. I guess climate change is responsible for the lack of hurricanes in the tropics thus far this year. Of course, had it been a very active hurricane season, that would have been due to climate change as well. Must be nice to have a job where you can't possibly be wrong.

You could be right, MDR... with temperatures being warmer, the cold air moving south from the far Northern latitudes would tend to begin to rise further north and spiral upward due to the earth's rotation... giving the weather systems less time to develop into full fledged tropical storms and/or hurricanes... but when they do develop, it could be causing more severe weather patterns across the US... kinda like the one's we've seen over the last several years...
Give it some thought...

Warmth to Surge in Northeast Ahead of Fall's Arrival A brief warmup is in store for residents of the Northeast this weekend before more fall-like conditions return. Temperatures will trend upward this weekend, peaking on Sunday with widespread highs in the 70s and areas along the Interstate-95 corridor topping out in the 80s. Cooler, more fall-like weather will move over the region in the wake of the showers and thunderstorms, just in time for the start of the new week. This translates to highs in the 60s and the potential for some early season frost in parts of the region's interior. The trend of brief warmups followed by several days of cooler weather appears like it will be the trend through the remainder of the September, a pattern not atypical for autumn. As we head into the heart of autumn, this weather pattern will likely continue. With the average temperature steadily dropping throughout the season, the brief warmups will yield lower temperatures and frost will become more widespread on the chilly autumn nights. The first frost along the I-95 corridor typically does not occur until late October. Anyone still growing plants and vegetables in a home garden should pay attention to the overnight lows and take the proper precautions to protect their plants from the harmful frost. www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/warmer-weekend-for-the-northea/34271821

Autumn officially starts at 10:29 p.m. EDT on Monday, and although cooler weather will kick off the new season, temperatures will slowly rise across the Northeast throughout the week. Temperatures will climb by a few degrees each day through Friday with highs over much the region in the 70s, and even some locations flirting with the 80-degree mark. While this warmup will not bring record-challenging temperatures, it will provide more favorable conditions for those who are late at closing their pools or wanting to get an outdoor project accomplished at their house before the upcoming winter months. Early indications suggest that this weather pattern may persist all the way into the first days of October before cooler, more fall-like conditions make a return to the Northeast. www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/warmth-to-build-across-the-nor/34446923

Think I'll stick with the old fashioned way, the odds of knowing what's coming seem to be about the same.

Fall Air to Filter Into Northeast, Chilly Air to Charge Midwest Fall air will erase the record warmth that has been gripping the Northeast, while chilly air is set to charge into the Midwest by week's end. After a brief spike in temperature late this week, much cooler air will take aim on the Midwest, break across the Appalachians and spill into the East for a time this weekend. Gusty winds will accompany and follow the push of cooler air this weekend. "The autumn winds that follow that front will be noticeable as we have not had many events like this yet since the start of meteorological fall: Sept. 1," Abrams said. "While it will not get cold enough for snow around the Upper Midwest to the central Appalachians, there will be bands of angry looking clouds and rain downwind of the Great Lakes, known as lake-effect." By Saturday, AccuWeather RealFeelĀ® temperatures may be held to the 40s much of the day around the Great Lakes and central Appalachians. By Sunday, RealFeelĀ® temperatures may be in the 50s at times farther to the east. As temperatures slip, clouds gather and winds kick up this fall, the AccuWeather RealFeelĀ® temperature can help you determine what it actually feels like outside. Factoring in wind, sun angle, cloud cover and many other factors, this patented index can help you better prepare and dress for changeable fall weather. Early indications are the push of blustery and cool conditions forecast for this weekend will be brief along the Interstate 95 corridor. www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/midwest-to-chill-while-east-be/34848143

I remember I was working aloft on a phone cable that morning and a TV crew stopped across the street and filmed me working... put it on the news that night...

That's cold know matter where you are. It is... and especially with our humidity... I remember seeing a guy standing in the back of his pickup north of Idaho Springs, Colorado along US40 shoveling snow into the back of his pickup covering the ice chests... he was wearing a pair of cutoff jeans, a short sleeve shirt, and tennis shoes... the humidity must have been real low because it felt "comfortable"... It has been as low here as -19 in North Mississippi (Corinth) the year I graduated from high school... 1966... but I don't remember how cold it was here in South Mississippi that Winter...

Lot of moisture up in the northern latitudes right now... and with these cooler temps... not necessarily real cold weather... means for much early snow...
