boyst Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Beat me to it. Not getting much to go off of here yet. It's been wet now and water is standing everywhere. That's not normal for August. Fog isn't that prevalent. If it's foggy next month I'll take note. Iron wood is nothing remarkable. Haven't seen many wooly worms. It's looking mild in the Carolinas.
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 That means the Bills will be wearing the red uniforms for the October home games? ?
Soda Popinski Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Where I live it would be a miracle to get snow. I'd just be happy if it didn't rain for the next 3 months.
plenzmd1 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 I was going to post something the other day. My 3 oaks in the backyard are producing way more acorns than I have ever seen on any of the trees. So much so that the green ones are already falling like crazy. Granted, we have had an exceptionally hot, wet summer, so understand that is why they dropping early...but the trees are still loaded up with way more than normal. Folk tales tell me that means exceptionally cold and snowy this year...which would make me SOOO happy!!!

Nothing better than being able to run around in a tee shirt and shorts. 1

I lose a TON of weight in summer getting out and working around the house, and gain it all back when the weather goes to ****. You live in VA, though, so your winters aren't that bad.
COTC Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) I do not miss the upstate winters at all, they were brutal!! Edited August 28, 2018 by COTC

Here we have like an 7 month gray season from October-April. It's miserable pretty much for that whole stretch. For me at least. The summers here are hot, but I enjoy them.

Folk tales tell me that means exceptionally cold and snowy this year...which would make me SOOO happy!!! I have 10 oaks in the front of my house. You can imagine the mess. Yes they are falling like rain. I have been raking them up but 4 days later the ground is covered again. And a bucket of those things is heavy. Afraid to fill up a plasic trashcan more than half way. Also they appear to be bigger this year. I am in CNY and it has been kind of dry for most of the summer. But it has been very hot. "Only in the hottest years this happens. And this year, it grows hot." 1
mrags Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 What a joke. I just read thy whole thing and it sounds like every single winter. “Teeth chattering cold will begin mid February”, yeah, no chit Sherlock. The winter will go into the spring.... commenting that there will be a large storm that comes through March 20-23.... first of all, the weather channel cannot predict the weather conditions 5 hours before it’s going to happen, jus like the Bills game the other day when they said it was going to rain. And then it turned out to be sunny and 80s throughout the game. Making it unbearable. Second, what a shocker, predicting a storm in late March when everyone is sick of winter and wonder when it’s finally going to be over. This is whole article was such a shocker. I better prepare. Now.

Now. In November of '14 we had a storm roll in,expected to dump about a foot.Here in southeast Cheektowaga we ended up with about 7 feet.Nobody can predict LE snowfalls.The October Surprise was another storm that was never predicted.

I don't believe they can predict anything much beyond sunrise and sunset times. The older I get the less I trust the forecast no matter what it says.

Yeah. I remember the October storm wel. Left work at like 5pm. Went home. Showed signs of ****ty weather. Next thing I know we don’t have power for 12 days.

You live in VA, though, so your winters aren't that bad. Not that bad. We just deal with idiots that don't know how to drive in a dusting of snow. Sure summer is HOT here, and thats how I sweat off the winter pounds. You could live in places like Montana and Utah where the snows start by the end of September and don't stop until May.
Marv's Neighbor Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Do the farmers really need a book to tell then that winter is coming? This would be news if it was April.

With all due respect...you're NUTS! Just kidding. But I don't know how anyone could prefer winter to summer. It's like comparing life to death. 1 1
