CAPE

There are a only a few out here and there, but they are aggressive. I wouldn't think they last much longer, with the dry stretch and cooler temps.

The last few years were bad here. Since I don't have an attic- log home with all cathedral ceilings- once they find a way in up top, they end up in the house and live with me all winter. I probably flushed 100 of them down the toilet from Jan to March, and vacuumed up a bunch more. Annoying bastards. I am ready this year. Last weekend I sprayed an insecticide with a long lasting residual under the eaves, along the fascia, soffit vents, and the entire chimney from bottom to top. They are normally congregating on the south side of the house by now. I don't think they are going to be suddenly absent this year, but hopefully not as many.

Yes. That dude is a joke.

Still waiting for the return of the stink bugs. Haven't see one yet. Maybe nature has adapted. Can only hope.

59 here currently Forecast low of 43 tonight. Been 44-45 the last few nights.

LOL. What a hack this dude is. He pulls this shit every year. No, there is no proven connection between a -AO/NAO in Sept and October, and what may transpire in the HL region in December and beyond. Its a crapshoot, and based on recent winters, and prospects for a moderate a NINA this winter, odds are this wont work out too well.

Seems many of the injuries have occurred on synthetic surfaces. The technologies vary somewhat, and are better than 20 years ago, but still generally suck.

Another bad break for Tavon Young. Season ending knee injury. Three of his first five seasons have now ended with major injuries. The Ravens love the guy, but he cant stay on the field. They were depending on him to be a major contributor in the secondary this season.

After a gradual warm up to sightly above avg temps this week, boom. I have a feeling we are gonna pay for this great Fall weather in a couple months

44 for the low here. I thought it would get a little colder than that. Bust!

Getting the wood split and stacked. Going to need a lot of firewood for the upcoming severely cold winter. It is not a meteorological impossibility. \

63 appears to be the high temp here. So gorgeous out there.

I'm still trying to finish the lawn and get it established before the leaves start coming down. Was out there early and pretty much got it done. Amazing morning to be outside working in the yard.

The next couple nights look ideal for radiational cooling. Might be some frost as close as the far NW suburbs.

October would be seasonably cool with this h5 look. GEFS is also suggesting +heights in the NAO domain in the LR.

46 here

woosh! at least he is consistent.

Drinking a FD "The Fear" Imperial Pumpkin Ale.

Drinking a VAPID DIPA from Aslin HFHH!

The weekend into early next week looks simply amazing. Low to mid 60s for highs, low to mid 40s for lows, and plenty of sun. Nice to have September as a Fall month for a change.

Total of 0.45" here. Mostly fell as a gentle rain. No downpours. Perfect.

Mattie! Welcome back.

Damn the reaper is blood thirsty early this year. Be careful y'all.

Gentle light rain here. 0.18" Hopefully I can score a quarter inch or so.

Big game for Baker. Might be a make or break for him going forward. The bust word is being tossed around, even among die-hard Browns fans.
