Avoid Australia. They have a species called the Huntsman and it’s as big as a humans fist. Not venomous to humans thank GOD but even to see one up close would put almost anyone into a panic. About 25 years ago I saw one up close on the wall of someone’s bedroom waking up one morning and I still get the hebee jeebies remembering it 

Literally everything in Australia can kill you.

I say it all the time—a bona fide hurricane would be catastrophic.

But sell a November hurricane breaking the 33 year hurricane drought in New England. 
 

Another Nov. 1950 would be interesting, especially if we got what hit Pittsburgh in that one.

Koala bears are lethal? 
 

Ya…I hear ya, that place has some odd stuff running around. I guess that’s what happens when you’re an island continent.

The CLIMOD site shows PWM at 79 on both 10/20 & 21 - 1947 for the 20th and 1920 for the 21st.   ???

Yup. Strange. @OceanStWx ?

[dendrite]

Nevermind…I see that the CLI report is using only the airport extremes and not the threaded history.

I've seen pictures...NO thank you. I have no clue how people can live there, let alone sleep. 

Not sure if this is true but I saw a video once of one of those spiders (maybe not Huntsman but it was massive...like Jupiter size) and it was crawling on the back of someone's car at a stop light and snuck into the inside of the car. That would not end well for me.

Wanted to get up there sunday, but we opted for the boat ride. I like Pleasant as it's pretty close, and gives a decent cardio workout. Wish the Whites were closer

[powderfreak]

What an afternoon.

60F at the picnic tables and hiking in shorts and a T-shirt… one week after mid-winter up here.

[Brian5671]

Summery day here outside of the lower sun angle.  Endless summer

[WinterWolf]

I like the lower sun angle feel when it’s warm out like this. Great feel.

Lol…it gets warm in October sometimes pal.   It won’t be 80 tomorrow or the next day, or the day after that. Hope the two days didn’t overwhelm you.

GFS has a couple days around Halloween in the low 70's LOL

There was talk that it would be 80 plus on Halloween yesterday.  But I’ll take low 70’s  in a second…that’s ideal.  Again with the weakened sun angle it has a really nice feel.

I'd take the over. That's another massive ridge being shown. And with the dry weather temps will exceed guidance.  

Nothing says fall like multiple days in the 80s in October.

Perhaps?   But it’s been a great fall.  We’ve had it all so far….beautiful crisp days, frosty and frozen nights, sun for days on end, gorgeous foliage, and now big beautiful warmth.  And Who doesn’t want it all?  Stellar autumn.

You would think this is august pre season drills at football practice tonight by the amount of bugs in the lights. Kids sweating like summer..crazy

At torch spots, sure. Mostly 60's-70's fare though

You took 70’s this week and hit 80-85. Helloween will be 80
