Low of 33 this morning with patchy frost.

 

Leaves are way way way behind schedule.  Normally we are close to peak right now.  But there is only a little color happening at the moment.  Should start changing quickly now.

Was almost expecting you to say that it was snowing.

Floodmageddon is a smashing success, so far.  Several more days of this and I might crack an inch for the month.

Is this where I'm supposed to quote your morning post in the "rainfest" thread?

LOL.  Reverse psychology.  Taunt the weather into proving you wrong, so you can get the weather you want.

Fantasy-range 12z GFS wants to bring in some pretty chilly stuff - 850s well below freezing, with the first freezes of fall in the western areas.

No thanks to the bolded (from this afternoon's LWX AFD)

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...

Hurricane Matthew is located over the Southern Caribbean
Sea...just offshore of South America and due south of Hispaniola. It
is expected to cross Cuba Monday. It is far too early to discuss
possible impacts to Mid-Atlantic region.

A cold front is expected to stall across the region Friday into
Friday night. A spotty shower or thunderstorm cannot be ruled out
along the boundary and mainly across the Central Shenandoah Valley
and Virginia Piedmont. Temperatures will be warm. Highs will reach
into the lower to middle 90s. High pressure will build in behind the
front Saturday and Saturday night. Drier and slightly cooler air
expected. Temperatures will be closer to normal.

Looks like more rain developing down in VA. Looks like a couple strong storms down there, too. Maybe rainfest isn't done yet

Hi 59 low 57.  My heat's on.

Yes, very cool today.  Love these cool, dark conditions.
