As there is no "Autumn" thread, I might mention that there has been significant snowfall in the mountains near Melbourne today.
I lit the first fire of the year, about two months earlier than normal.
Also, first decent rain here for three months.

In Florida leaves mainly stay on trees throughout the winter until the new leaves of spring arrive. so in the area that I am that has large numbers of oak trees the last two weeks has seen a considerable leaf drop sufficient that sweeper vehicles have been sent around the streets.

Take a thermometer up with you next Winter, Sig. Take daily readings (9am and 3pm), note daily Tmax and Tmin and keep the records. PS: Wear gloves.

Not yet. Sure hope it bleeds south soon.

Not yet. Sure hope it bleeds south soon. There be demons in the northland. The latest science mythology tells us so. Here March came in at -2.2 F below normal (after -2.7 F for February). This was below the -1.2 F March anomaly in 2018. April is starting out below normal.

Yes well so far the big cooling is far from visible. Arctic ice lowest for this time of the year. Antarctic top 5 lowest. Greenland mass balance is way below average. UAH dataset still at +.34 for march, others higher. I was kind off hoping something would have materialized this winter to use as ammo against the climate scare that is pushing for insane policies to be implemented with the european elections in may.

UAH dataset still at +.34 for march, others higher. I was kind off hoping something would have materialized this winter to use as ammo against the climate scare that is pushing for insane policies to be implemented with the european elections in may. Here is a look at the UAH time series of lower troposphere temperature anomalies above the tropical oceans, north polar oceans and south polar oceans from 1978 through 2016. I have not down loaded the data for 2017-18 yet. But notice the anomalously high north polar values for the past-peak SC24 East Pacific Nino-or-Not period and the differential drift of trends for north VS south polar oceans ... up for the north and down for the south. A warmer north polar plateau, coincident with "the pause" can be seen ... and a dramatic increase from 2015, which is MUCH greater than the rise "preceding" the 1996-97 El Nino event. QUESTION: Is the large 2015 spike associated with the increase in meridional atmospheric flow? Or does lower-troposheric temperature over the polar ocean still owe most of its heat to the underlying ocean? Ant might want to step in here. Later: OK. I updated my UAH file through March, 2019 and note that Northern Polar Ocean values have fallen back to general levels of "the Pause". Southern Polar Ocean values show a general decline over the extent of the time series. There are other things that show up here. Can anyone find them?
