That's definitely a higher flow than when I was there. I am looking at the photo I took right now- its on my fireplace mantle lol. From the vantage point in your photo I climbed down to water level and took a picture of the falls. Ended up being one of my all time favorite shots.

CAPE Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Hopefully it will dry out and clear up some by afternoon. Clouds started to break a little here with a few peaks of sun last hour, but now back to low overcast. At least the drizzle has stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd really like to be able to mow the lawn w/o it being caked in dew Need to mow badly. Choice between wet grass today or mowing in the summer heat tomorrow. I might do it this afternoon to avoid watching the Noles get their eyeballs beaten out by Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Man I am so done with this stagnant upper ridge. Warm and humid, and the damn mosquitoes wont go. Not fun being outside for an extended period. One more week of this grossness, then hopefully we are on to some actual nice fall weather. Putting my outside projects on hold until then. Tired of sweating and getting bit, lol. Enough already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Going to be gross today. It was 78f and humid in deep creek yesterday. 81f in Oakland. 77f passing through Davis. Came down the mountain and car thermometer hit 88f in moorefield. 75f and completely sunny at 530 when I got home. Cooler here than the mountains all weekend. Smh. Sure was neat doing all the waterfall hikes in the wet period though. Have so many good pics and memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If course, I intentionally went there during summer, expecting summer weather, lol. I think it was probably overall more comfortable then, as compared to your "fall" trip. I remember the humidity being pretty low. It is gorgeous out there, and some of my best ever shots were taken in that area. I still want to get out to Canaan during winter and do some snowshoeing. With my schedule, it pretty much has to be the first week in Jan, but the weather has not cooperated the past 2 winters. Both times the beaches beat Canaan for significant snow, so I went there instead. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was well more than a foot on the ground. Snowed almost the entire 3 days I was there. That Friday high temp there was -2. Sunday morning I believe it hit -20. Pure heaven. I hiked for 3 hours that Friday in near blizzard conditions. The next day we hit the sled track at black water in -1 conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it always seems to perpetually snow there with a cold air mass, often overperfoming the forecasts. Looking at things 3-4 days prior, it looked to be super cold but seemed iffy for a solid foot on the ground. Not ideal if you want to snowshoe. I'll get there. The blizzard on the beach was amazing, so it was a good decision. Not often you see wind driven powder right on the coast this far south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Michael will drown you in rain then it will turn much cooler there.
