34 here this morning. The peppers and pole lima beans in my garden look fine. The growing season continues here.

Looks like mid 30s here tonight, so I think we'll be ok. The vegetable garden will likely continue for quite awhile. As others have pointed out, the fall foliage season this year has been strange with some trees early and some late. Overall not as nice as last year too. I was up at Swartwood State Park in Sussex County yesterday, and trees that were a brilliant red/orange at the same time last year didn't have that color yesterday. The color was very muted. Still some nice trees here and there, but nothing like last year. Kind of a surprise too because it was supposed to be a spectacular foliage season due to the fact that we got plenty of rain in summer. Strange that last season was better after the summer drought.

Of course I buy veggies at the grocery store too. But like many people I also grow a vegetable garden. You have a problem with people growing vegetable gardens? All I did was comment about being happy that we didn't get a frost yet. I didn't say anything about clouds. What a strange comment from you.

Got down to 35 here. Vegetable garden is fine. No more frost/freeze threats in sight so the growing season will continue for quite awhile thankfully.

Freeze warning is to the north and west. Here it looks like mid 30s tonight, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the vegetable garden will be ok. I think it will be but it's going to be close.

Worried about a potential frost/freeze Sunday morning here. That would be slightly early as we usually get to very late October or sometimes even early November here. My peppers and pole lima beans are still producing heavily and will keep going until frost, so I'm hoping we avoid it Sunday morning. After this threat it's going to warm up and it will be quite awhile before we have another frost threat, so it might be worth it to cover the plants if it appears that the frost is gonna happen Sunday morning.

Yeah so ridiculous. Other models like RGEM, HRRR and GFS have our area closer to 1 inch.

Low temp of 38 here. Heat went on.

Already down to 43. Probably gonna hit 38 here tonight.

It was a 1 minute shower here.

I bet we'll see 80 again, but this was very likely our last day with temps well up into the 80s until next spring. It hit 87 here today.

Yeah it feels like summer. 79 degrees with a dewpoint of 66 here right now.

Yeah we could get another inch. So far I've gotten 2 inches for the event here. I know it was much worse at the coast, but here it just seemed like a moderate strength noreaster with a rainy windy weekend. Could end up with an impressive 3 inches of rain from the event, but when it's spread out over such a long period of time it doesn't cause much flooding. Here the event is nothing to write home about.

0.70" here so far.

HRRR gives us about a half inch of rain here from this batch moving in for the overnight into early tomorrow morning. Then it looks like just spotty showers for the afternoon. It has gotten pretty windy here with some gusts 30 to 40mph.
