Re: August 2015 Weather - It Gets HOT Next Week!

wxman57 will appreciate this. Here in Baton Rouge I just made my daily bike ride. Temp is about 98, Dewpoint 78 and heat index 115. Can't get much better than this!!! The cold water after the bike ride was the best. Looks "cooler" by next weekend with highs maybe down to lower 90's

Re: November 2014: Warming Up/Stormy Weekend

As a followup to wxman57, I note that I live in Baton Rouge and was here during the 1970's. I kept the daily highs and lows for a few years, though not in as much detail as wxman57. That winter is remembered. I think Buffalo had similar massive lake effect snows in November and December. Here in Bat...

Re: February - Cold Canadian Air Outbreak Mid Month?

Vegetation and wildlife are usually indicators of temperature zones and impacts and effects of winter temperatures.

Re: January: Wet Cold Pattern Returns

I still have tropical perennials here in Baton Rouge that have yet to freeze back. This is the latest that all of my tropical perennials have lasted. Most of the time they are frozen back by middle December. With the days getting longer and a warm period look for some of the early Japanese maples an...

Just to give an idea of what type of winter we are having so far here in south Louisiana, yesterday morning we had our coldest morning yet here in Baton Rouge of 28. I have a couple tropical sages, cassia, milkweed, that have yet to freeze back. Yes they have been nipped, but only slightly. Even thi...

Re: November: Cool Nights/Seasonal Warm Days Ahead

I think there has been sleet or frozen rain in November in Houston in 1976. Here in Baton Rouge on November 28, 1976, I recall the sleet the afternoon of November 28. It was moderate sleet that fell for awhile, though temps I am sure were above freezing. Must have had some flakes later in the eveni...
