Statistics from the October 22-25 rain event
Friday, October 26th, 2007Cold but dry start to November likely

Are long, hot summers followed by cold, snowy winters?

I love when “people” say things like this about climate since “people” are almost always wrong when it comes to their memories about climate. See here for a classic example.

However, with September now in the books as one of the top 15 warmest on record in many locations in the Mid-South (including 3rd warmest in Louisville), it is time to look forward to October. (more…)
