Went to Mackintosh Farms out in Berryville to pick apples on Sunday with the kids and some friends. First time I've ever been there, and it was an awesome day to make that drive. On the way back, I missed a turn in Berryville itself and ended up taking Blue Ridge Mountain Road to get to Rt 50. Didn't realize that it ran along Mt. Weather! It was neat to see the temp difference at the top of that ridge - was 54F at the top and 64F at the bottom. The apples are unreal, by the way!

Been in Burke for 13 years now, and I don't remember not mowing well into November. I mean...I like to mow to pick up leaves, but I definitely need one last mow to get ready for winter sometime around the end of the November.
-
Lots of blue sky with sun now in Burke. Pretty awesome after the last five days!
-
Interesting. If...IF that were to go down like that, then that would imply the potential for some interesting weather around the holidays. Pair that with the cold that some folks are calling for in December into January, and that might be fun.
-
Thanks! They're slowly getting there, but man this has sucked! I don't quite recall October 2009, but I'll just assume we're headed into another winter like the one that followed that month.
-
This has been a truly odd past five days of weather. I don't recall anything quite so long in duration with such chilly temps. The killer is that our girls have had a stomach bug since Sunday, so no one is particularly happy about being stuck at home right now!

100% agreed. Plenty of talk of a quite warm November on the Mid-Atlantic, which, assuming the source region in Canada doesn't torch, could be a good thing in setting up a possible colder period into December-January, as you said. In my opinion, November is a great torch month. It can be plenty warm enough for t-shirts and really pleasant days, but it won't get hot, and those warm days are almost always dry. Any cold days are just wasted, so better it be mild!

That’s pretty GD chilly.

My parents live just inland near Atlantic City - they've had over 5" of rain since Saturday with potentially upwards of 3" more expected. Add that to the easterly winds and that's a lot of water having a really hard time getting out of the back bays up there.

Or until @MN Transplant posts a screen grab of the correlation coefficient.

Confirmed. Where in Burke?

BWI: 10/25 IAD: 10/25 DCA: 11/20 RIC: 11/18 DCA peak Oct temp: 83

I would say MBY is "just changing" now. I think we usually peak around Nov 10 or so.

November is a perfect month for a torch.
-
That area is definitely in the highest surge area now. Hopefully with enough forward motion the water won't pile up too high. In-laws in Hilton Head got some decent winds and rain, but no surge there with the winds off the mainland. Probably some flooding in the creeks with NW-facing mouths, but likely not a huge deal.

You sure?

It does a disservice to the greatness of the word.
-
I see it all the time (with its original spelling). Basically the same as slaps, but I guess it sounds cooler to certain crowds. "This beer fux!" "That new pizza place fux!" "This snowstorm fux!"
-
And fux. It's a normal word, but it kinda gets under my skin when used as a verb to describe something positively.
-
Don't think ever had it, but I could see them having a damn fine slaw. I make my own, and I gotta say I think it's pretty f'ing good!
-
A good coleslaw is money.

There are so many variations of chocolate cake that chocolate cake can be inferior to a good carrot cake depending on the variety. So...some chocolate cakes are better than some carrot cakes, while the inverse is also true. There also some cakes that are equivalent in quality.

Ummm...yoda? He asked for someone knowledgeable.
