      I copied this from The Old Farmer’s Almanac 2006:

      September and October will be exceptionally mild, with very warm periods in early and mid-September. Rainfall will be near normal in the east and below normal in the west.

      Old Farmer’s Almanac brags on their 80% correct predictions!

        As Brian chants “Sun, blue skies and warm weather… Sun, blue skies and warm weather… Sun, blue skies and warm weather… Sun, blue skies and warm weather…” 😆 .

          There is a tradition that has begun.

          2004 Planning Meeting – Rain
          2004 Event Day – Sunny

          2005 Planning Meeting – Rain
          2005 Event Day – Sunny

          2006 Planning Meeting – Rain
          2006 Event Day – ?????

          We’ve had periods of rain every time we’ve had a meeting and awesome weather for the Event Day.

          No worries. :flag:

            Early Sept in New England typically has the finest weather of the year in this ever changing climate zone. For a few weeks we actually rival San Diego for the best weather in the country. They on the other hand, have that type of weather year round 😮

              This may be the first year EVER that I hike into November! :beer:

              So long as that white, cold, slippery junk stays to a minimal.:angry:

              It would be nice to finish my 48’s… on Madison… on my 148th birthday! 😮

              Hey Frodo!!
              Welcome back! Sorry, I keep forgetting to welcome you home!!
              Got any good hiking stories??? 😀

                Hey Madison,

                Get yourself some Crampons, snowshoes and some warm winter clothes. Jen and I will hike ANYWHERES you want this winter. Youll finish in no time. We just got Jim a little taste of it this past winter and he is now nibbling. It will be fun. C’mon, whatcha say?!?! 😉 😆 😆

                Brian

                P.S. And just think of this…..it will be nice to drive home and snuggle up with your man after a cold days hike 😛 😀

                    You don’t step on Superman’s cape.
                    You don’t talk to your pitcher during a no-hitter.

                    You don’t jinx the weXXXXX by mentioning it.

                    Someone quickly throw salt over their shoulder. 😀

                      Jay… 😀 !!

                      Just breath buddy, I post the Farmer’s Almanac weather prediction each year, just to temp fate. 👿

                      Cal is on to something… 💡
                      … there is an ominous correlation between the planning meeting weather and the event weather.

                      Okay, a little salt won’t hurt either. Maybe eye of newt and wing of bat, too?!:wink:

                      My money is on sunshine!! :beer:

                          The first thing that comes to mind is the scene with Cam Neeley from “Dumb and Dumber” 😀 Too funny!

                          Thanks for the W/B! I will have a few stories for ya when we meet again at this years post gathering. 🙂

                          Also, winter in the Whites is “SPECTACULAR”

                            “Those your skis?”

                            “Yeah”

                            “Both of ’em?”

                                  I predict that nothing but clear weather will come of this “curse” that has bestowed upon “Newhampshire” AKA Brian. 😛
                                  He is, after all, signed up with the good fortune of the crew on Mt Garfield!…..that’s ME! :flag:
                                  And I shall bring forth the sunshine up from Cape Cod for the day!
