I was up there in January, 2025 when It was -5 with about 10" on the ground. It was awesome.

After the rain Sunday and a couple warm days following it looks really nice. I even see highs in the 50's late next week. Real fall color has finally started here in the lowlands (The trees at my cabin on Tug Hill are almost bare). I'm looking forward to my annual fall hikes up in Catoctins in a couple weeks.

I figured it was -3 degrees there this morning lol. Stunner of a morning. I decided over coffee to play hookie today and go play in the woods instead.

I use to have a girlfriend like that lol. I have a new rule for the next one. Snow is more important than our relationship will ever be, includingyour birthday. I'll be on the Tug Hill all winter playing in snow and I work 7 days a week during the warm seasons. Take it or leave it lol I like what I'm seeing in the gulf. I'd chase if I didn't have a large project right now.

*Epic weather warning* will be in effect from 8am until 8pm this evening. Be prepared for epic fall weather today. If you notice epic conditions don't panic. Just slowly move towards an exit and go outside.

Beautiful out there this evening. It reminds me of a summer evening in the Adirondacks.

I learned to love Nina. They bring much better winters to my area in the lowlands. Starting this winter I'll be on the Tug Hill where Nina demolish the region. I think of frozen ponds, a light snowpack, deep blue sky, cold temps when I think Nina. When I think of Nino I think of mud, extended cloudy periods, 80 on Christmas, lots of rain, snow that melts the day after. Drizzly

Why doesn't this ever happen when we have cold air in place lol. It would be like waking up to a snowstorm today that was forecast to hit Richmond.

I was hoping this annoying shower fest this weekend would stay to the south. It looks like just enough to wet the ground and make the hiking trails slimy and delay my current projects.

I'm all geared up and headed out for a rain hike. I want to catch a few miles in this next batch coming through.

Classic rainy fall morning here in the tropical lowlands. Looks like a rainy day DC and east.

I've got a few sprinkles here in the lowlands. I can see totally clear sky to my west. Looks like a different world about 20 miles away.

The wall turned into annoying showers. Just enough to stop work lol.

I'm actually drinking cold pressed strawberry lemonade right now from fresh market. Paired with some live sugar hash by District Cannabis. Fantastic combination on a beautiful fall evening.

That's very impressive! Only upper 40's down here near the tropical bay. Chilly fall morning. This weather should kick the fall color off.
