42 in the ATX right now. Just went for a run, it felt pretty great.

It'll hit 70 today, then mid-upper-80s Thurs-Monday.

An interview with top climate scientist Bjorn Stevens | Climate Etc. (judithcurry.com)

ZEIT: Were the models faulty?
Stevens: Yes. Too many children’s book clouds, not enough real clouds. In the world climate research program we have tackled the climate models. The models with the most extreme predictions have failed, and confidence in the less catastrophic values of climate sensitivity has increased . In my opinion, however, the contribution of the clouds is still overstated.
ZEIT: How great is it?
Stevens: Based on our latest measurements and advances in theory, I would say today: zero.
ZEIT: Zero?
Stevens: Right, at least that’s my working hypothesis. The climate sensitivity is then at the lower end of the IPCC estimate, around 2.8 degrees. We should keep looking, but so far there’s no evidence that clouds play a major role.

Maybe he should enjoy that 2.8 deg spike and go fishing/golfing or a schooner on a pub patio

Too windy for golf??

Here in Texas if you didnt play golf in high winds you would hardly ever play

If you dont run into Dorthy and Toto in the club house tee it up

yup, I have the luxury of playing w/o wind

I played the past 3 afternoons w/o wind, so taking a day off while wind gusts hit 40mph this afternoon

highs next week expected in the 60s so I can still play in short britches

I've played over 60 rounds this season, might get 4 or 5 more.  10 more if the start of November is good

Played today first round since July.  It was gorgeous, windy but this is the Midwest.   Had a birdie and managed to stay under 90 with a lot of 3 jacks.   

We've had very little rain since early Sept so a lot of rollout.  One of those rounds where one par 5 is driver, six iron to the green, then a par four is driver, 4 iron and you're still well short.

Sioux City has broken the Record High temperature for October 23rd. The 2 PM observation at the Sioux Gateway Airport was 84° shattering the 123 year old record of 83° from way back in 1899!
