sokolow Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Now until round about martini is the best cooking baking and camping season of the year IMO.

TimChgo9 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Ha no shame in that. I was actually looking forward to using the new furnace after years of the boiler which took forever to heat up the whole system. Usually left it off until it was time to consistently need it. With the new forced air heating system it's nice to be able to just kick on the heat and bam, it's toasty in minutes. Went out and spent some time in the crisp evening air a little while ago. Found a cool new location for some milky way shots at a desolate graveyard in the middle of BFE south of here. Was very creepy, with an owl that kept hooting from somewhere in the woods behind me lol. Nice shots. Love the lighting. Unfortunately, I have to drive 60-80 from this area, before I can even begin to see anything that approaches that. We have a decent telescope, but, it's pain to have to drive that far, just to star gaze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really impressed by how hilariously good some of the midwest wineries have gotten in the last decade. Or maybe its just the distribution and reputation thats changed. Get your grüner veltliner from Ohio, buy it at the grocery store in Chicago, why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 The Mrs. usually gravitates towards the reds...but i will poke around a bit and PM you...i think we are planning a few tastings for the weekend of 27th also...so that will hopefully provide a few more options to get us out of the "red". Recon this upcoming weekend first. Gray day today with passing sprinkles...sounds like the rest of the week should be pretty nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Late freeze in may has limited the amount of good fruit on some of my trees. Normally i have a few week period when the migratory birds stop by and go to town on the sloppy seconds here in the fall...curious to see their reaction when they come on through here over the next month and find nothing. Also, gonna be a long winter for the possums and raccoons locally who usually start stocking up from my trees now. I noticed fewer Raccoons and Opossums this year. I think last winter was too harsh for some. My mulberry tree did not produce as many berries as it normal does this summer. A food source for those two critters, squirrels and various birds. Getting some mixed sun in Racine, but the clouds to the north will start building in soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-K Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 still haven't needed the furnace but we're losing residual warmth and may have to turn it on overnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 80˚ in September ...unheard of in these parts. MEX showing 80 and considering how it's overshot many times this year, doesn't exactly inspire a lot of confidence at this point. But from a climo perspective, the last 80 happens in October most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's been a rough year for you, with promises of big heat and drought failing to materialize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably going to be a while before something like that happens again (not just talking summer...who can forget the ridiculous March). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably going to be a while before something like that happens again (not just talking summer...who can forget the ridiculous March). Yep, 2012 on a whole was something else. Though of course, I much prefer 2014 over it. On a side note, man did the NAM botch today's rainfall (too far north). Even the 12z run couldn't figure it out.

michsnowfreak Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 This mid-September cold snap has started furnaces, brought out coats, and even the trees seem to be changing color much more rapidly than usual (though that is not necessarily attributed to this cold snap, at least not entirely). I was at the Tigers game Saturday night and the sky even looked cold. Felt like October baseball for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 There was a fair amount of rain in the northern part of the metro, I'd guess about a few tenths of an inch, but much less near the airport. With that said, it still only made it up into the upper 50s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
