Really bottomed out this morning, down to 20 degrees so far. A few lower teens up in northern IA.

Eddie Van Halen crapped out too, so no Van Halen soundtrack.

We got in on the action today and had a few periods of light snow. Didn't expect it this far west.

No flakes anytime soon here but some more cold nights on the way. Possible lower 20s Tue and Wed.

26 here early this morning. This October has been about as exciting as watching C-SPAN.

29 here this morning.

0.15" this morning bringing the 2-day total up to 0.54".

Nice little mini soaker today. Picked up just under 4 tenths.

28 here this morning. So long skeeters!

May make the upper 20s here in the lowlands of the RR valley. I'm actually rooting for the freeze to help kill off the skeeters.

November gonna be rockin'

Kind of unfortunate the lake effect event of the new season there occurs as rain lol.

Already 35 here.

Coldest temp of the season so far this morning with 38. Should see a good frost tonight with temps even cooler.

Interesting question, as I enjoy all types of them for what they are. If I had to choose one type I'd take a blizzard with high snowfall rates, with thunder of course lol. My 3 favorite blizzards of this type here were Dec '87, Jan '95, and GHD '11. Out of these if I were given a chance to relive one of them I'd take the Dec '87 one. 60+mph winds with the most thunder/lightning I've ever seen with a snowstorm easily. The ferocity of a high-end event like that is really top notch for a weather weenie.

Already down to 39 in Waukesha WI just west of Milwaukee as of 1am. 46 here atm.

Looks like we finish with 20 AOA 90 degree days for both here and at MLI. 4 days AOA 80 degree dewpoint here, and 3 days at MLI. Hottest temp of the year at MLI was 98 on 6/21, and here the hottest temp was 97 also on 6/21. Interestingly the hottest temp of the year at DVN came on May 12th with 97.

Weatherbo oughta come out of hibernation soon.

New record at MLI today with 95. Hit 93 here.

GFS has temps near 100 tomorrow. Obviously overdone but this will prob be the last time we see 100 on the models till next year.

The point has 93 tomorrow, but then 64 Thu, and 61 Fri for highs. That'll be a big change.

Good to see the event ended up a bit further northwest for you guys. Finished with 1.11" tonight, and 1.41" since yesterday. That brings us to 9.80" since Aug 1st.

Nice storm moving through. Had brief round of penny size hail with continuous thunder for quite awhile. Over an inch of rain and counting.

Great light show currently with cluster of storms rolling in.
