Baby it's cold outside

I woke up this morning to a 1/2 inch of snow on my car.

I always love the first snow. Then not so much.

When I lived in upstate NY, the local tv station would have their annual "guess which day we'll have our first 6" snow. Of course the first snow in Sept could be 18".

Evo Child was born in a blizzard on Oct 3rd there.

I usually don't mind it. I think this time it was just the fact that I wasn't expecting it. Additionally, I had a dresser in the back of my truck that I found on the side of the road with a "free" sign on it. It was in decent shape, so I was going to refinish it for my younger sister who needs a new dresser, but it got wet and will probably warp when it dries.

An arctic high is pushing in, and the temperature is probably going to be in the 40s before the afternoon is over. Clear and cold tonight, with frosts expected. I doubt that the frost will be severe, so I'm going to leave my chilies on the plants hoping to get a bit more ripening in the milder weather expected for the end of the week.

I just got back inside after spending the afternoon reading in the sun. I guess it was about 72 degrees give or take. Perfect weather for being outside.

Yesterday, it was -2 (28F) when I got up, but the temperature rose to 15 (59 F) in the afternoon.

Normal current: overnight low = 0 (32F); afternoon high = 12 (54F).

Cute, Jimmy.

But the beach boys' thread is that way -------------->

I'd heard Colorado's evenings were always cool, but this summer I ran the A/C quite a bit, even in the evenings.

I'd heard winter starts creeping in late September, but here we are in October and I'm finally able to open the windows at night for a cool breeze! It's 64 out, now.

I'd heard last winter was arctic. I wonder what this winter will be like?

45 deg F outside, cold inside. I am thinking about starting a fire in the fireplace.

The forecast is for snow along the I-95 corridor. I-95 is 3 miles from here so I'm expecting sunny weather.

Indeed, it looks like a rough halloween weekend ahead for some members.

Yeah and "local weather forecasts" fall under "predicting the future" and obviously should be posted in Skepticism & Debunking.

Jimmy Snyder

Either such reports are overly speculative, or I have to shovel 3 inches of rain off my walk.

My generator is all fueled up and ready to go. Heavy, wet snow will take out lots of trees that were weakened by the summer's microbursts and twisters. Might not be able to make it to chat tomorrow.

My trees haven't really turned yet - still about 50% green. A 3" accumulation will do great damage if the leaves hold the weight. Do you have a similar situation?

turbo

No, the drought took many of the leaves before fall arrived. Most trees are bare.
