There were definitely trees that got the fungus around here, they all turned brown and dropped 1-2 weeks ago. But those that kept their leaves, be it late are all turning a beautiful color right now...view from my backyard this afternoon.

I noticed the past few nights how odd it sounds around 11 pm taking the dog out. Besides being attacked by mosquitos, tons of summer sounds. Definitely not mid October sounding. If we can't catch Monday or Tuesday nights cool down, will probably have to wait until the end of the month for the first frost....

the one positive is we will be able to grow food in areas that never had much of a growing season....if it rains of course. I think the biggest concern outside of coastal and already baked regions are the diseases from ticks and mosquitos...EEE is one where the later the freezes take, the longer that virus can spread in a region. Naegleria fowleri and Vibrio infections from warmer water are other issues that seem to be increasing year after year right now. It isn't just lack of A/C in northern regions and less ice unfortunately

It has been a rough stretch otherwise, even when it wasn't cloudy and raining, we had smoke to deal with...worst performing summer since I had the system installed.

Deja-vu on the 12z Euro, 2 southern/late developer misses, followed by a massive storm about ready to cut to our west....Thank God this is October and not January. Unless this pattern completely collapses, It does look like a fun winter incoming at least for tracking purposes, hopefully we are on the right side of some when all is said and done....

I lived in central Delaware at the time....unreal how much snow we got, pretty sure I have more snow in that year than I did in the next 5 combined. Crazy thing was, how fast all of that snow melted. That first snow in December, pretty sure I had 32", it was completely gone by Christmas, including most of the piles

Hopefully not a preview for what happens when it actually gets cold enough to snow......

Well the 12z Euro would be wonderful if it were January, but mid October that is brutal....Especially with the weather we have dealt with recently.

35.1, not bad but not enough to wipe out the bugs yet.....

Going to be close here tonight, already down to 45° and the winds have gone calm..... at this point I would assume 32-35 by sunrise. Kill some mosquitoes please! Please leave my Dhalias go, they have just started another round of flowering

My desert like region has all but dried out, but other areas such as the parks and sports fields around here are still ponds/swamps, breeding mosquitoes. We need a freeze and some dry weather, no precip until November please....unless of course that is a precursor to a snowless winter, then by all means rain away

Mosquitoes just exploded from everywhere, worst it has been all season....ready for a frost/freeze

They can't keep canceling the kids baseball and soccer, at this point they will be rescheduled for the Spring....

just emptied the stratus, 4.15" here as of 6 pm.....

How is it around town? Getting ready to head home. Barely any rain where I am at.

Second that...decided to head to Kartrite, over here in the Catskills, should be a fun ride tomorrow afternoon. Really hate wasting all of this precip before winter...

and to think after the Marino/Bledsoe games, they just set the Miami all time scoring record in just a little over 3 quarters

as we speak, Mostert with 4 TDs today....this rushing attack is quite impressive. Hope he stays healthy too

Being a fan for this long, I fully expect the bottom to fall out at some point. But they have been exciting with Tua at QB, he just needs some protection. Next week is the first true test...

I have been waiting for a while, well since I was 5 years old for the Dolphins to look like they do this year...Hopefully Tua/Hill can stay healthy this year, if so watch out!

Then into early next week looks cool and unsettled right now as this thing looks to meander around with onshore flow.... need that high pressure to push in and clear everything out

Just got a close lighting strike too

Man, why can't we get this in winter, of course when it is cold enough....this would be a nice 2-4 inch burst

Thanks, yeah I have definitely had a terrible string of vacations recently that have had terrible weather. Needless to say I am quite hesitant in spending a ton of money to sit inside with 4 kids...

we are pretty much waiting until the last minute to book, but initial thoughts on next week, in New England? Is this thing over the weekend going to get cutoff, making for a miserable/dreary week?
