Subject: Warm Monday and Warm September
Monday I had a high temperature of 83 degrees which broke my high
temperature record of 80 set in 1992 which is more than ten degrees
above normal.
September 2005 was the fourth warmest September on record (65.3
degrees) since 1991 when my records began at this location.
I have no complaints to either of the above, however. Thought it might
be a good day to slap a coat of paint on the snowboards to get them
ready.

interesting.
You do not necessarily have to give a presentation in front of the

interesting. Of course you are welcome to just come and listen.
- Do you have a favorite web site, book, or source of weather
info that you can share?
- Do you want to discuss a current topic of interest by the group,
either now, or at a future meeting?
- Do you have topic that you would like to do a 5-15 minute
presentation for the group?
We will also discuss new NEOCAMS business including the Christmas
get together, Ron Hahn will review the latest from his weather
library activities, we will have our real-time map discussion,
and we will review the NWS national forecast for the winter season.
Just how much it is going to cost to heat our homes this winter?
A follow up e-mail announcement will be sent a week or so before
the meeting with a tentative itinerary of topics. Please contact
Jim Kosarik or one of the officers if you wish to speak. This is
your chance to share information with the group. We need you for a

Subject: QUESTION--WHY ARE WE STUCK IN A RUT?
Group:
There hasn't been much happening lately. Cincinnati hasn't had a
regular progressive series of storm systems move through since
spring. I have found myself taking an unhealthy interest in Denver
snowstorms, northeast floods, gulf coast hurricanes, Weather
Underground reports of Chinese conditions, and the Fairbanks
homepage!
Hence my question. There is obviously a mechanism blocking up the
weather pattern. Parts of southern Ohio and eastern Kentucky have
been declared agricultural disaster areas due to drought. My soil
moisture is non-existent. Without regular rains, even Katrina only
penetrated a couple inches then dried up.
Why? There is a neutral cycle in the Pacific. No El Nino or La
Nina. I know the tropical Atlantic temperatures have been very warm
this year. What oceanic factors, or factors in general, are coming
into play here and what might this mean for us as we head into
winter? I note that the NWS 2 week outlook shows no change, more
warm and dry.
Wake me up with your answers!

Ron;
All excellent points! I don't have an answer for your question. I mean if there was an upper level High nearby or
over us I could see that playing a major role. However, fronts are making it through time to time, but nothing to
write home about. I'm at a loss too...

Ron and Group,
I'm not sure of any blocking mechnisms at the moment but I will make
some emarks on some personal observations I've made throughout the
summer and early Fall. There seemed to have been a "line" of
demarcation throug Ohio with hot and dry conditions on one side and
warm and wet on the other.
My temperatures have been a little above normal the past several
months but not extreme and the majority of my precipitation for the
most part has been above normal. Had it not been for the remnants of
the tropical systems coming north things would have been much drier
here. The precipitation that has fallen the past two or three months
has been in great quantities (one inch or greater) but several days
would elapse in between these occurances where nothing had fallen.
The Drought Monitor as of October 11 only had about the southern 20%
of Ohio in the abnormally dry to moderate drought conditions. I only
had two 90-degree days this year with none in 2003 and 2004. Not
what you would call global warming. (Don't get me started)
It looks like a "normal" Winter for Ohio according to the latest
outlook from NCDC. The main influence on our weather may come from
the NAO (North Atlantic Oscillation)which is any shift in the jet
stream. A shift further to the north (positive phase) than normal
would mean warmer weather; a shift to the south (negative phase)
would mean more frequent cold outbreaks. NCDC doesn't want to go
beyond a few weeks at a time in what the NAO will be doing.
Let's hear some other opinions and observations on our current
weather cycle and what conditions it may present for the upcoming
Winter.

Subject: Frost??
You may have gotten up this morning with frost on your windshields this
morning, but that doesn't mean we had a killing frost yet..Our Low here was
35F. So far today we had a Hi temperature of 66F. Right now it's 65F under
Cldy. skies..
Baro is showing 29.29F, Rel. Hum. comes in at 26% with a dew point of
30F.
There is rain out to the west of us, but I don't believe we will ended up with
any for tonight. Not with the Rel. Hum. being so LOW........

Subject: Re: QUESTION--WHY ARE WE STUCK IN A RUT?
Jack and group:
The boredom for me stems from the fact that without tropical systems
the entire state would have been largely rain-free all summer and
fall. As it is the new drought monitor has southern Ohio and
eastern Kentucky in a severe drought. While I'm not officially
included in that area the soil here is bone dry to a depth of 2 feet.
I really wasn't aiming toward the global warming cause for all
this. However, these repeating patterns are generally a reflection
of some persistent factor such as ocean temperatures. That is why I
wondered about the warm Atlantic water temperatures and what effect
they are having on our current or future weather.

They're having to resort to Greek letters. They've run out of names,
there's been so many tropical storms and hurricanes.
Meanwhile...back at the ranch...here at Thompson 5 SW: current wx is
rain and 44.3 degrees. The high today was 47.5.

Subject: First Frost
Had my first light frost of the season this morning. The low
temperature bottomed out at 31 degrees @6:21 a.m. Skies really cleared
out after midnight since it was still 40 degrees around midnight.
Leaves around here have quickly turned color this last week.
We have one lone apple tree in the back yard that has produced more
apples than at any time we have lived here for the past 24 years. I'm
guessing close to 20-30 bushels and we don't spray it. Wife has made
several apple pies, apple butter, and so on.
