I say this because for the next ten hours - the fall equinox is at 9:31 AM EDT - it is still officially summer. Stick that in your furnace and smoke it.
I am wondering if the lack of air travel and the lack of CO2 and H2O in the atmosphere is causing this early cold snap? Plus the really wet summer. Probably not but....
I’m just above Allegany county... they’re usually a few degrees warmer than we are as we pick up weather off Erie, ...but dang it never expected to put heat on this early.
