It’s Yellowjacket season. They know their days are numbered and were buzzing me all day in the yard.

If you want to get back at flies do it now. They are very slow at reacting this time of year. You don't have to even try that hard. If it lands on your knee just slap it they barely move and usually not in time.

Fire pit evening?

AI:

Yes, flies are slower in the fall because their body temperature is dictated by the environment, and the cooling temperatures slow down their metabolism and flight ability. As temperatures drop, flies become sluggish.

As they say, October snow is never good for the rest of the season. 2011 is another famous example, with the snowstorm on October 29, followed by a snowless torch from November 2011-March 2012 (and of course, an early taste of summer in late May 2012, and 100-degree days in July 2012 - the last ones until this June).

I'm not one of those people. Screw it, get it while you can or you may get shut out...

68F / partly sunny

An area of stronger 925 mb cold air advection (25-35 knots of wind at this level) crossing the region late this evening.

Winds picked up around 9:00 p.m, had some good gust. At 4:00 a.m., all was calm. May have been sooner that's when I woke up...

As soon as the sun went down the winds picked up. Definitely some 20mph+ gust...

Still a bit breezy, more sunshine, 65F. Feels much warmer than yesterday...

Not as warm as I thought it would be today. Between the clouds and the damn wind, it was rather cool. For some reason the sun decided to be bashful and only make a short guest appearance here and there...

Drizzle rates have increased over the last hour or two. Total up to 0.16”. More to come. High of only 58F today. 

Seems to turn spotty once it passes Philly going from east to west...

Bam! Just like that drizzle is back. Hail Jesus! I thought I lost my good friend for good but she has returned...praise the Lord. 

Dry spots on roads/parking lot s.....lack of precip and wind.

Looks like a break from this torrential drizzle before another patch moves in from the East. Skies have brightened a bit currently...

This storm is more of a annoyance than anything else. No real beneficial rain will come out of this three day event. Tons of drizzle. That's really got to irk drought guy...

Stuck in a band of heavy drizzle, windy with temps in the 50s. Feels like Christmas...

Wraparound rains tomorrow lol

Wrap around snows usually equal an inch or two. So liquid form, about .1 - .2" additional rain? That's not much...

You don't even have to go that far. I was in Horsham and received zero.

Do we expect any more rain from this thing today or tomorrow? A shower or two?

I’m counting on wrap-around rains to save the day 

Screw it, I don't want anything. Take away the winds as well and just call today a nice normal Fall Sunday with football...

Shore special. Not really budging West...

Conditions continue to deteriorate as I’m getting filtered sunlight, 62F.

Just ready to say this. Yeah, it brightened up out there...still gusty though.

Nothing official but seemed like some 40mph+ gust out there...

That was such a textbook Nina style rug pull leading up to this crud storm. Can't make this stuff up.

Hope it's not a sign of things to come. This would have been a real Debbie downer if snow was involved...

..

The shore receiving some nice steady stuff...

I have some ideas but not going to unleash them yet. 

Gotcha.

Another wave ready to roll through...

Pretty sure this won't be neutral. But what do I know? (restrain yourselves from answering that last part, ty)

I was going to send someone out to wake you from your den. 

Winter thoughts or still compiling?

First heavy duty band just roll through. Sky's already brightening..

All I know is that when drought guy posts, I expect the exact opposite to happen in my area.

Yes, he made this prediction on page 3 of thread on 9/19:

1. Being a neutral year, we are in for a real cold and snowy winter which will definitely help the groundwater tables. See lots of northeaster's and the potential freezing rain/sleet  events early in December. 

(Yep, this winter is cooked. I expect a warm winter with very little snow.)

Let's give him a chance, he has to hit once in a while. 

Cecily's should be coming up within a month. I think FOX has theirs within the same time frame. Did channel cbs3 and channel nbc10 gave up on the winter outlook forecast. Not sure?
