Another shot from the scenic overlook on 219 near the High School.

Best foliage in years...dry weather has helped bring out the colors. Lots of people here for Autumn Glory. Here’s a random farmhouse near Oakland.

12z NAM shifted totals SE. I went from 3.5” (yeah right) at 6z to 1.25” at 12z here in Deep Creek. Basically all of the area outside of the mountains are 2”+ on the 12z NAM though. Still welcomed rain here.

Just got to Deep Creek. Peak foliage here this weekend in time for the annual Autumn Glory festival....will take a few pics when I’m out and about. Great weekend for WxUSAF to also be in the area (not great weather unfortunately).

Yes.

A bit of a head scratcher but I know why we need the defensive backup with Kempny’s injuries. Maybe he’ll regain his point production from a few years now that’s with a good team.

Should we start the Winter 21-22 thread now? I heard the Super Doppler Euro Yearly model shows wall to wall October for DJF.

Agreed.

Rest of the month looks warm. Not sure we’re done yet.

I think I finished with 1” last year in Arlington. I agree - I don’t see us doing worse than that here.

I’d guess Garrett is 7-14 days from peak which makes sense given Canaan at/near peak now. Dry fall has helped to bring out some good colors.

You’re able to tell the future.

That setup as depicted on the Euro is a textbook screwjob for most of us. Gave me heartburn.

Last 7p sunset of the year today

Bourbon > rain

47 with light rain - 0.7” on the day so far. Got a fire going and drinking a bourbon cocktail.

If I stare at it long enough, I can convince myself the purple line just makes it to Garrett County.

Welcomed 0.3" of rain so far today. Been stuck at 50 degrees all morning so very raw outside.

Ravens D helping me out in FF - now I need Kelce to catch a couple TD passes to complete my comeback.

Sorry Ravens fans, I need Kelce to score about 25 points for me tonight and the Ravens D to lay an egg to avoid going 0-3 to start my fantasy league.

You must be mistaken....T-2" should be the only color you need around DC.

GFS favoring the I-81 corridor with the heaviest rain this week, dropping 2”+ over that area.

So much to do here and fall is no different - I’m sure your family would have fun and I’d be happy to give some recommendations! I laughed at the Alps vs Wisp comparison. I’d think a green Alps hill is similar to a black diamond Wisp hill ha.

While we need the rain here, today’s weather was an A for sure. 72 and partly cloudy/partly sunny throughout the day. Although its noticeable how low the lake is right now vs normal. Hopefully we get some solid rains this week.

Weekend project included relocating my anemometer (at Deep Creek). Originally, I had it combined with my temp/rain/etc sensor on my Vantage Pro 2, which has given me lame wind readings from the get go. My first idea was to mount it on the roof but I was worried about attracting lightning with a metal pole/tripod. So instead I buried a 6’ wood post into the ground - joined 2 PVC pipes together, painted them white (to protect against UV rays), filled them with sand (to give some more ‘weight’), and attached it to the post. Thanks @RDM for the advice via PM! While not a perfect siting, its way better than what I had previously as it’s about 15’ above ground. I’ll see how it does and may decide to do a longer metal pole and ground it eventually. Of course there’s literally been zero wind here tonight.
