Early morning boomer

Was a bit of a surprise. Out for run and it was glass clear to the south, beautiful views of the moon and jupiter so we mistook the lightning to the north for arc off the el tracks. Practically didn't twig to it until the deluge hit

More shorts weather...

 

 

That's about as warm as it gets for 850 mb temps in late October.  The all-time October record at the ILX site is 22.2C, but if we just restrict it to the second half of October, the highest temp is 19.8C set on Halloween in 1950.

 

Edit:  most areas south of WI/MI made it into the 80s on 10/31/1950, with even some scattered areas in southern MI reaching 80.  Would be premature to call for that kind of warmth but be aware of the potential for something rather out of the ordinary should the above map verify.

And so it begins...MEX showing 74 here on Sunday (avg high is low 60s).  Despite the warm bias it showed around here during summer, I would expect the values it's showing now to be much closer to reality and possibly underdone given that we look to be dealing with a fairly anomalous situation.

Thanks guys! It was a beautiful Autumn day to be out! 

 

@ Gilbert. Yeah, I lost a few Ash trees as well and have seen many more go this year. One kind of tree I always wanted is a Dogwood. Very colorful flowers in the spring. Not sure what it looks like in Autumn though. I starting to see a lot of small Sumac trees in people's yards. They can be red to orange to yellow/goldy color this time of year.

Outstanding pics Geos.  Was a great day to be out there shooting pics. 

 

Ended up shooting these pics at the Wyalusing State Park near Prairie Du Chien Wisconsin.  Really cool place.  The bluffs there sit over 500ft above the river valley below.  Not much weather excitement to speak of, so might as well fill this thread with more leaf pics lol.

Ornamental Pear trees are excellent trees for residential areas.  They usually are loaded with white flowers in the Spring, and get pretty colorful in the Fall IIRC.  They grow pretty quickly, and I think they're fairly resistant to disease as well.

Add flowering cherry trees to that list. Had one out front here, before the village destroyed it.

It had large white, pink and purple flowers in the spring for several weeks, and then deep yellow to orange to red leaves in the fall.
