It's absurdly warm for Valentine's Day on the eastern shore of Lake Elmo.

To avoid getting mired in slush, the Stillwater, Minnesota, ham radio group set up Ice Station W0JH on the shoreline patio instead of out on the ice.

Can't beat this sunshine to lift the mood a little bit. It's shirtsleeves weather, almost.

I saw a big pickup parked way out across the lake, so someone still has faith in the local ice conditions.

Everyone was friendly and interesting, belying Minnesotans' reputation for reticence. I also met a nice dog.

Central #Maine smashes third temperature record in a week

Augusta's high temperature Wednesday tied the warmest temperature ever recorded at the site in the month of November

by Ethan Horton, November 6, 2024

AUGUSTA — "Central Maine set yet another heat-related record Wednesday, marking the third time in the past week a daily temperature record has been broken.

"Wednesday’s unofficial high temperature reached 76 F (24.4 C) in #AugustaMaine and 73 degrees (22.7 C) in #WatervilleMaine, breaking the local record of 72 degrees (22.2 C), set in 2022. The area also broke records on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1, easily surpassing high temperature records set in 1956 and 2003, respectively.

"The #PortlandMaine area broke a record for the entire month Wednesday: The high of 79 degrees F (26.1 C) shattered the warmest temperature ever recorded at the site in the month of November, set at 75 degrees F (23.8 C) on Nov. 5, 2022. Augusta’s high temperature Wednesday tied the area’s all-time November record."

#LongIsland breaks a temperature record for the date at 81 degrees; #NewYorkState issues wildfire alert

October 22, 2024

"Long Island set a new temperature record Tuesday for the date, topping off at 81 degrees at #Islip, in the second day of record-setting warmth in the region.

"The unseasonable heat breaks the 1979 record of 77 degrees for Oct. 22 and comes on top of Monday's high of 77, breaking the mark of 76 degrees recorded for that date in 2017.

"The warmth has only added to the region's unusually dry conditions, prompting New York State to issue an alert for a high risk of wildfires starting and spreading rapidly.

"This continues a roller-coaster trend for Nassau and Suffolk, which two months ago saw record rains that caused flash flooding in some areas, followed by record-low precipitation since then. October has had not only a record-high temperature but two overnight lows in the 30s.

"So far, October is shaping up to be the driest one on record at Islip, with just 0.10 inches of precipitation recorded so far. The record low precipitation for the month is 0.18 inches in 2000."

Well, I have just sweltered through the hottest October day on record, 34oC. That motivated me to write a letter to Reece Whitby to tell him to reject Woodside's NWS gas processing extension to 2070.

Trying to sneak it through while everyone was distracted by the referendum and other things.

It's looking like it's going to be a rough Summer, lets fight to stop it from getting worse!
