Same here wrt the frost.

What area are you moving to? I left Calvert for Germantown when I got a DC based job and it paid off in quite a few winters. One time I had 8 inches on the ground and got off the train at Union Station to bare ground and rain. Now I'm back in Calvert for family and space LOL Got to 40 here. I'm hoping to keep my flowering plants a few weeks longer

28° for a low here

I figured they'd be -18 this morning. Meh Managed to hit 39 this morning!

Down to 36 inside the beltway here, maybe a degree or two lower in open spots? Pretty cool for mid October in these parts, I was surprised to see us that far into the 30s. Of course, other than tonight and tomorrow am, doesn't look like I'll see 30s again anytime soon lol. With the recent rain I'm hoping for a brilliant color foliage season.

29.5° will do it for the low this morning

(David Ludlum) 1910 - Northeasterly winds as high as 70 mph (from a hurricane moving northward up the Florida peninsula) carried water out of Tampa Bay and the Hillsboro River. The water level lowered to nine feet below mean low water. Forty ships were grounded. (The Weather Channel) 1916: A tropical depression organized to a tropical storm on October 11 in the western Caribbean. It moved westward, reaching hurricane strength on the 13th before hitting the Yucatán Peninsula on the 15th as a 110 mph hurricane. It weakened over land, and it emerged over the southern Gulf of Mexico as a tropical storm. It quickly re-strengthened to a Category 3 hurricane, hitting Pensacola on October 18. The maximum wind velocity at Mobile was 115 mph from the east at 8:25 am. Pensacola had winds of 120 mph at 10:13 am when the wind instrument tower was blown down. 1930 - A big early season lake effect snowburst on the lee shores of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario produced 47 inches at Governeur NY and 48 inches just south of Buffalo. (David Ludlum) 1948: Birmingham, AL had its earliest freeze. (Ref. AccWeather Weather History) 1984: Heavy snow began falling late on the 17th at Salt Lake City, UT and by the time it ended on this date, 18.4 inches had piled up to set a new all-time 24 hour snowfall record. 40 inches of snow fell at Alta in the Wasatch Range. (Ref. AccWeather Weather History) 1987 - Thunderstorms in northeastern Texas produced golf ball size hail at Atlanta, along with wind gusts to 86 mph, and four inches of rain. Damage from the storm was estimated at more than a million dollars. Sunny and mild weather continued across much of the rest of the nation. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1988 - Eight cities in the southwestern U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date, including Red Bluff CA with a reading of 96 degrees. (The National Weather Summary) 1989 - Unseasonably cold air began to invade the central and eastern U.S. Light snow fell across northern Maine, and snow was also reported in the Great Lakes Region, including the Chicago area. Bismarck ND was the cold spot in the nation with a low of 9 degrees above zero. Five cities in Florida reported record high readings for the date, as temperatures warmed above 80 degrees. Miami FL reported a record high of 90 degrees. (The National Weather Summary) 2005 - With the formation of Hurricane Wilma, the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season tied the record for the most named storms for any season (21 storms in 1933), and also tied the record for the most hurricanes in a single season (12 in 1969). Wilma peaked at category-5 intensity on the 19th, with a minimum central pressure falling to 882 millibars (26.05 inches of mercury), the lowest pressure ever recorded in the Atlantic Basin. Wilma also became the most rapidly-intensifying storm on record, with a maximum-sustained surface wind speed increase of 105 mph in a 24-hour period. 1991: Nearly four inches of snow fell at Rochester, NY, the largest snowfall ever recorded so early in the season there. (Ref. AccWeather Weather History) 1994: Massive flooding came to a close in southeast Texas. Up to 20 inches of rain fell over a widespread area. The maximum amount recorded was over thirty inches at Liberty Texas. 18 people were killed. 13,000 people had to flee their homes and 22,000 homes were damaged or destroyed. Total damage: $900 million. (Ref. AccWeather Weather History) 2005: Hurricane Wilma developed a tiny, well-defined eye and began intensifying rapidly, reaching Category 5 strength with a record-setting pressure of 882 millibars by October 19. The rapid intensification from a tropical storm to Category 5 hurricane in 24 hours was the fastest ever recorded in the Atlantic Ocean, and the second-fastest worldwide, after Super Typhoon Forrest.

25.8 felt great!

27.3...we freeze... youngest had two games yesterday evening, brutal if you weren't dressed for it or moving around... last games for the season, they both played from March to now, one more game for the big boy and we done.

from 33 to 37. Coolest since April 21st. Cooler the next 1-2 days then the onshore barrage keeps it overall near - above normal and outside of the cut off /low and storm pushing clouds / light rain to the coast Tue, it looks generally dry / partly - mostly sunny highs mid 60s - low 70s in the warmest inland areas. Ridge pushes east towards 10/26 so overall warmer to clsoe the month looks likely. 10/18-10/19 : Cooler than normal - freeze/frost inland 10/19 - 10/26: Overall near - above normal prolonged onshore E-ENE-NE flow , storm stays offshore but may bring clouds/rain coast ELI-ENJ 10/27 - beyond : Ridge into the east overall above normal

got down to 27 this morning. Temp hopefully climbing as I have about 10,000,000,000 leaves to clean up

Frost to the ground and 31 this morning.

Central Park managed drop to 41 with calm winds. The temperature is now starting to climb. I guess in our concrete asphalt UHI domain with limited radiational cooling, calm winds are less of a factor. As always ….

Yup, in the cold spot here, 23/23 for the low, as above. Just came back from my coffee run...nice!

32.4

Fwiw, Euro seasonal rainfall from both Copernicus and the Euro site have equatorial precip maxes in Enso 3/3.4 and not in Enso 1.2 DJF. https://charts.ecmwf.int/products/seasonal_system5_standard_rain?area=GLOB&base_time=202610010000&stats=tsum&valid_time=202611010000 https://climate.copernicus.eu/charts/packages/c3s_seasonal/products/c3s_seasonal_spatial_mm_rain_1m?area=area08&base_time=202610010000&type=tsum&valid_time=202611010000
