Low 42 this am. Have a few peppers planted, still producing albeit it a little smaller. Wonder how long they will hold on.

I used to drive well in westchester regularly, now I work in the City, I feel so lost I dont get to see any frost/freeze lol. I wonder if the leaves are even changing color outside the city. It pretty much green and lush here. I used to see some nice color along the Sprain to Taconic about this time of Oct.

At 2:30 pm, an area of rain extended from parts of Arkansas across Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan into Ontario. That area of rain and showers was associated with a frontal system that will cross the region tomorrow morning. Even as precipitation amounts should be light, the guidance suggests that Central Park will likely receive the 0.01" it needs in order for 2018 to become New York City's 33rd year on record with 50" or more precipitation.

To date, 2018 has seen above to much above normal precipitation in the Middle Atlantic region. 2018's total precipitation was as follows for select sites (the start of their recordkeeping is in parentheses):

Asheville (1869): 59.54” (5th wettest year)
Baltimore (1871): 55.66” (7th wettest year)
Harrisburg (1888): 51.32” (8th wettest year)
New York City (1869): 49.99” (33rd wettest year)
Oakland (1 SE), MD (1893): 59.46” (6th wettest year)
Richmond (1887): 52.42” (16th wettest year)
Scranton (1901): 49.69” (3rd wettest year)
Washington, DC (1871): 51.55” (13th wettest year)
Wilmington, NC (1870): 87.46” (wettest year on record)

The storm at 240 is well into Canada. The 850 line is off the coast.
