Weather Acting Funny in Your Neighbourhood?

And now a tropical wave has popped up in the Atlantic possibly headed towards Florida, if it develops. Happy Thanksgiving.

Patty if it develops. Forecasters don't seem particularly concerned about it and just reminding us that they are out there.

I'll second that. New Hampshire has been very cold so far Oct-Nov. Fortunately heading back down south next week where it was 78 yesterday

Warmer today (upper 30s) colder next two days (20s, possible wind chill below zero) then a few days (up to 40) right before NCAAs and then 30 race day (no snow).

I finally turned on the heat in my house yesterday.

I had a friend who was one of thousands who apparently showed up at the line, not knowing that was
the case..... He ran 8M back to his house!

70s and 80s here. The weatherman threatened a Polar Vortexian 59 degrees this week but has since come to his senses and decided mid-60s was cold enough. We're in that good spell with no AC and no heat, and the windows get thrown open for some nice air-flow through the house!

Climate contrarian uncovers scientific error, upends major ocean warming study

Climate contrarian uncovers scientific error, upends major ocean warming study

In a paper published Oct. 31 in the journal Nature, researchers found that ocean temperatures had warmed 60% more than outlined by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Well, duh. That kind of change just makes no sense from the get-go. I would believe something along the magnitude of 0.6%, but 60% does sound like an obvious outright error.
