I guess we’re looking at October 4th or 5th at the earliest until we get a taste of fall. Just saw that myself regarding the cool down potential for the first week in Oct. But cooling is only half the battle. If we lose our growing season for lawn and garden, I pray we don't have a wet winter because everything I own will be mud by February. Need....rain...now.

That is until I moved to a neighborhood where I’m surrounded by one-acre manicured lawns that look like a Pinehurst fairway the Tuesday before the US Open. That’s a lot of pressure to put on a person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a lot of pressure to put on a person. I agree the manicured(read expensive) lawns look better than my weed lawn. For about 4 months a year if the weather cooperates. The golf course lawn shows heat and water stress first. They stay brown well into the spring and one light frost browns them up for the winter. I'm relaxed and ok with a green fairly good looking yard for most of the year over a four-month showplace. Different strokes for different folks. This is my yard in June. It's not as bright green now but it is basically the same even with the lack of any rain in Sept. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely losing a few brown leaves, but trees still green. Hydrangeas wilting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLweather Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Five years ago. Tomorrow morning, I left Roxboro NC. Moved back home to central FL. Where I was born and partly raised. Dunno why it sticks with me so. But 9-28-14 was cold for NC and Florida standards. Remember arriving at my grandparents house. They had the heat on. Five years later. I have a short sleeve shirt on, shorts and flip flops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceagewhereartthou Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 So I've heard tale of this weather phenomenon that makes you have to put on a bunch of thick clothes so you don't shiver. No sweating and I think thermometers read, like below 50 or something. Anyone know what that is or what would cause it to happen? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magpiemaniac Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 If you’re ever in need of rain during a significant drought, just make plans in advance to attend the race in Martinsville. I’ve got my cooler packed, a couple of cigars, a full flask, new batteries in the radio, and an 80% chance of showers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyefan1 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 The forecast for next week here in buckeye land, gives me highs in the mid/upper 60's and lows in the mid 40's It looks chilly after that though I've got to go buy a coat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shack Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Reading this type of thing for quite a while now and haven't seen this term before. National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO 501 AM MDT Sun Oct 27 2019 .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 501 AM MDT Sun Oct 27 2019 The cold air has moved into northern Colorado overnight, and as the airmass has moistened, temperatures in the moist layer have remained warmer than -10C, resulting in super-cooled liquid water hydro-meteors. Until the airmass becomes even cooler, freezing drizzle will continue falling. Road temperatures appear to be remaining just above freezing, so ice accumulation has been limited to elevated surfaces.

magpiemaniac Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I’ve had these stupid house flies pop up in the backyard this week. Not a huge swarm, but enough to be a nuisance. Not sure if it’s due to this warmer, wet weather or not. I keep the trash can sealed up and the dog poop picked up, but I can’t go out on the patio without eight or ten flies buzzing around.

The rain cleared out this morning and it ended up being nice for today’s race in Martinsville. A little too warm for this time of the year, but the breeze helped. The parking lot was a muddy mess though. Several cars were stuck. I saw a late model Mustang digging himself deeper by spinning his wheels. I switched the Tundra to 4HI and didn’t have any issues.

nchighcountrywx Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Our friend and board contributor Big Frosty from the Foothills of NC is having back spinal surgery this morning to have spacers and a rod put in to help lessen back pain associated with nerve compression.
