I had two Honda Pilots make it 200K+ with the usual maintenance. A 2002 and 2013. Got them used and they lasted a long time at various points in my life, but both succumbed to rusted frames by 240K miles.

Ensembles aren’t great for cold but it can change. Nino’s typically struggle early on as a baseline too. Not trying to add to the fire, but I do agree with you that getting anything sustained below normal is going to be a big uphill battle this November. Nothing about this screams that Canada is loading up with cold.

You struggle to frost, I struggle to get rid of frost. Wonder if we can go the whole day. 11:38am and half the yard still looks like this. North facing cold hollow, going to preserve snow well if we get any this winter. Thats the midday sun here, lol. Yikes. Wonder if it’ll crest the trees in another month.

Nothing wrong with a long growing season, embrace it. “Dig” into the local climate and take advantage of it. Your elevation storm will come at some point, maybe even more likely in a Nino winter where fresh cold air could be harder to come by.

There’s always ball busting on here, but honestly don’t think anyone tries to make you feel bad for missing out… I mean you get great joy out of using your air conditioning as much as possible, think of it like that. Some folks don’t understand it. 30F

Brisk like with wind? Dead calm here and radiating already at 37F.

Stick season.

Just looked at the local records… MVL ASOS was put in place in 1986, short period of record, but like half of the October record mins happened in the first three years of the station (1980s). Then just get fewer with every decade since.

Mind-blowing.

It’s just something interesting that happens in a sea of boredom. Wake up and the lawn, car and rooftops are frozen. 90 minutes later it doesn’t matter. But just like anything weather, it’s a fleeting signal of change.

He’s just messing around. Got us engaged and chatting, ha. I find his particular hilltop climate fascinating to be honest.

I wonder how far from the coast that extends… like 10 miles? Less? Seems like all the airport ASOS’s have except BOS and PVD? I guess ORH probably hasn’t too.

1,100ft here and frozen solid nightly. Narrow it down to like 950ft to 1,025ft . Lasts a long time in the shade.

Phenomenal stretch of days. Hard freeze starts in the 20s and goes to 60F under cloudless skies. It is crazy how this time of year there can still be frost in the shade at like 11am despite it closing in on like 50F outside.

39F at home 1,100ft while it’s 52F at 1,900ft across the ridge.
