Buckethead Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Had a couple of branches break already this morning from the wind. I need a hard hat to go out on the deck from all the monster acorns falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share Posted September 2, 2017 Very fall like today. Had a low in the 50s and so far our high in the 60s with a low cloud deck. Very Octoberish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckethead Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Been a beautiful fall day up here. Been raining/drizzling all day. Managed a respectable 51° for a high, which was also the morning low. The fireplace is about to be lit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 I know the big weather maker in the picture is Irma but we have some absolutely splendid Fall weather that will be arriving this week. This is very unusual also for this time of the year. Usually these troughs get hung up and we get this stale cloudy murky period but it looks like this trough will swing right through wilh some amazing temps. Highs in the 50s to 60s with lows in the 40s! Maybe even the upper 30s for the extreme highest elevations. An absolute treat for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to experience a hurricane. Made it to the outer banks immediately after Irene I think it was. But i want to actually go through a complete hurricane. Haven't had quite as much rain, but it's been soggy here too. 54 in Boone headed to class this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An almost perfect track for the foothills and most of the mountains to see 5+ inches of rainfall. Only one model run though. A lot and I mean a lot of time for this thing to do about anything in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 As for today, this is right out of the playbook in mid to late October. Current temp is still 55 degrees with heavy overcast skies, everything is damp and wet. Fall is here and I am excited for this Fall to start out early like this. sure we will warm up here and there but man this is beautiful for this time of the year.

But might have to go back for a few days if this cane decides to come to Salter Path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weather up here has been beautiful by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not looking forward to all that wind and rain. Speaking of wind it has really ramped up here this late afternoon. A brisk breeze has set in. Yeah I am not either. There has been many runs where we get smacked really good. Last thing we need is another Ivan coming through here. We had had a good amount of rainfall lately and through the summer so the ground is in no way shape or form dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting this winter up there. I plan on moving up to a higher elevation next year if all goes well. Maybe 3900 to 4000 so hopefully I can make a run for you lol.
