Comment on Water Wars, Colder Weather, and Better Forecasts by Ben Bentkowski

As to your last point, I don’t think it has gone away, just being upstaged. I continue to take some perverse satisfaction that Al Gore continues to talk about global warming and the events happen on days of extreme cold. I had heard that his talk at Harvard yesterday might occur on a day when the record low for that day might be broken. Whether you believe in it or not, whether you believe in the human impact or variations in solar cycles and axis oscilations, I hope those attending such events note the irony of having to scrape ice from your windshield in order to go to a talk about global warming.

I appreciate your kind remarks, Ben. Yes, there are plenty of weather resources available on the Internet, but most people don’t know where they are, or don’t have the time to go digging for them. I’ve tried to bring a lot of information into this site, even knowing that the average visitor may not get beyond the home page, and perhaps the blog. But, I know that there are some people that appreciate the information I provide sitewide, and that makes it worth it.

Comment on Climatologist Says Dry September Worsens Drought by Morgan Kemp

Morgan Kemp — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 12:56:32 +0000

I agree that September 2008 was extremely dry. Here in Fayetteville, GA I recorded only 0.15 inches for the month! And that small amount was at the beginning of the month. There were some days when the counties to my South (Meriwether, etc) got some good rain. But it all seemed to fall apart as it approached Fayette, as usualy for anyone who needs rain right? So really, even if pockets of the Atlanta area (or Georgia for that matter) get tons of rain….if other areas do not, this drought to me is getting substantially worse. And who ON EARTH thought this drought could get any worse. The only reason at all I got any rain since July was TS Fay. Here is the 2-Week rain forecast:

http://wxmaps.org/pix/prec1.html

….it shows, literally, 0.00″ of rain forecast for Georgia! NONE…for the whole 2 weeks!! I was somewhat optimistic when I read Kirk Mellish’s blog that said this about the rain chances the next 60 days:

I will use this page to do periodic updates. I will cover insights, and long-range outlooks and misc. things I don’t have time on-air to talk about or which are too complex for radio.
SEPTEMBER 22ND

Tropical development or a Nor’Easter possible later this week with possible hit by weekend or so anywhere from SC Northward. The 60 DAY OUTLOOK for Georgia calls for temps to average near-normal with rainfall above-normal.

Well….we’d have to get like 8 inches, right, between mid/late OCT and the end of NOV for this to be right, sadly. Is this degree of drought unprecedented? I don’t know….Jon may know that. All I know is I do remember many, many rainy days and nights growing up in Georgia, and I just don’t see them anymore!
