.01 over yonder in Akron.

maybe a weather word not often heard.... Graupel. Thanks for ticking the "winter" trackin up a notch... May only have a small window of opportunity this year, but we'll take what we can get.

So happy you've come back around friend.

Thanks pal. Wasn't the intent, but as I'm aging, I'm trying to do it w/ more humility and being real, and as I know @candersonpain, I just felt like sharing a little personal stuff that I typically don't do, as we all have crosses n challenges to bear everyday. If it resonates and makes some pick up the phone, pay a visit, or bury an axe....well I'll take it. I've got some good friends in here, that help to make my life "fuller". I appreciate you all as well. My village has many in it. I'm blessed.

Good on you for doing so, and sorry for your loss. told my bestie just that while we were pallbearers for one our our good friends that succumbed to the horrible C word (the other one)....this past spring. I spent the last few months of his life with him in and out of hospitals and bedside. Frequently told him just that. Life closed in a lot this year, as I lost/buried 5 in 3 month period earlier this year. Be humbled and thankful for what you have (especially health wise)...and complain less about what we dont have. Can't get friends back, but we'll see em on the other side.

1/4 sticks of dynamite will keep my hands from getting cold while "fishing".... that is if I dont blow them off while lighting fuse.

we'd all take a 120 over a 240 digi snow map. Hell, we hardly had any of them last year, and it only means there is half as much time left for sh!t to go sideways/south/north/ots...whatevs...

Last year we really did miss out on a couple periods that could have made a notable difference in our mindsets winterwise....

You guys are not the only 2 snowhounds.....some of us just pay a little less attention (ok for me... a LOT less), as it's just less painful...and better for my my mental well being.....and we all love pleasant surprises. Gonna b what its gonna be. My daughter is gettin shellacked in Colorado. Told her to send me pics.

Yep. Like you, I'm one of the few that love it. Mind you, my body is still in adjust mode, and that doesnt get easier as I get older. Guessing I'm not alone in that challenge. As we are a tad beyond the industrial revolution and the need to "save energy" and utilities consumption....I'd be down w/ keeping the clocks the same all year. So would my less than stellar sleep pattern.

and last but certainly not least.... Thanks to all that serve, have served, or support those that do. Your sacrifice and service is most appreciated, not just today, but EVERY day.

Was up north from last Tues night thru yesterday mornin. The warmth was felt up there for sure, but Saturday got back towards normalish fall feel. Glad we all got some rain. Gladder that the birds won, but hate that Dak is hurt. Not the way we wanna do it. Sounds season ending, but hopefully not. Looking at extended early this morning-then seeing Mag's post makes me feel a tad better about the upcoming start to holiday season. Love this time of year. Happy mid fall y'all.

yesterday morning it was 27 deg in Hautzdale (outside of Phillipsburg). Huge frost/freeze, so he may still be thawing out fingers to type on keyboard.

I saw 30-35 on way into office Brrr

I'm sorry that he's now lurking in your thread. He's been muckin it up in ours for a few years, and a few of us early on called him out on is one sided agenda...and finally others are catching on. He does a disservice to real objective climate chatter, as his is rather one sided, and now that others are catching onto him, he's looking for other regions to try to advance his agenda. Sorry for you, but hopefully he'll stay in your thread, where I'm guessing his welcome will wear out much more quickly than our group. Hoping you guys get a good winter up there. Were all due.

at same time as cutoff lp slides to our south and promotes ridging until its passage aoa 384 which would likely pull down some cooler weather....500's are scorched earth verbatim. but this is me extrapolating a 354+ model run...so view w/ caution.

I've already had 2 evening fires in woodstove (last weeks cold snap). Heading out of town rest of week, but my wife likely will have one or 2 this week. Happy beautiful fall y'all. Colors gettin good around here. Hoping @Atomixwx saved some color for me to view tomorrow. Sounds like wind may blow that thought outta here.

benign to you is not so for others, and as Trainer suggested, there are many viewpoints from a wide array of reasonings....no matter who you are...or where you come from politically (or legally). See my point

just told my wife, that we need to go there. She used to live right over the meadow and through the woods from there

Not surprising as you like everything warm......

add another to the list. 38 this am at home, 37 was as low as I saw on ride to work. 46 was also noted near mastersonville. spotty frost, less than yesterday. Happy almost weekend all.

like you, I've seen upper 30's since Tues AM. Not sure if we pull off 4 in a row, but if I were hedging a bet, I'd put money on your guess. NAM, agrees w/ you as well.

I saw 33 in Rothsville. Widespread frost as well. Not heavy, but likely enough to suspend the forums annual mowing contest for some. edit....and that includes my lawn.

I saw 38 on car thermo, and spotty frost observed on rooftop across the street from my house and normal spotty lowland spots on way to office.

Congrats friend! Good on you for pressing through and hitting your goal. i'll have 1 Miller lite in celebration for ya tonight.
