It was the coldest of the season so far here this morning as well -- I got down to 26. I still had some leaves on a couple trees in my yard, but the hard freeze this morning knocked the rest of them off. I'll do the final leaf cleanup tomorrow.
-
Getting some heavy downpours.
-
Vegetable garden finally got finished off early Friday morning with the low temp getting down to 28 here.
-
I was just out in the garden and picked some peppers and pole lima beans. Still producing because we haven't had a freeze here yet. It's gonna be a close call tomorrow night. If not tomorrow night, the garden will definitely come to end end with the cold shot early next week. We'll be going below freezing Monday night.

It appears that we're done with the significant rain here now. 2.38" ... a much needed major soaking.

Heaviest rain of the event moving in now. It's really pouring out there. Looks like not much more after this heavy downpour passes, but I'm up to 2 inches of rain now.

1.14" here so far. We should get another inch this afternoon to bring the total to over 2 inches -- finally a big soaking that will put in a good dent in the drought.

Yeah the fall foliage isn't nearly as nice as usual this year. Obviously the drought had a very negative effect. A shame that we went so dry for months after the tremendous flooding in mid July. We just don't get normal rainfall anymore -- it's either way too much or not nearly enough.
-
Low temp of 34 here this morning. A little frost, but those pole lima beans in the garden are amazing. They still look fine. I'll still be picking more over the next week. I'm thinking around November 4th is when the vegetable garden will finally be killed.
-
Had a low temp of 37 this morning. The vegetable garden lives on. I don't think we'll be able to avoid frost for too much longer though with this cool pattern. Maybe we can get through next week, but I'll be surprised if the garden doesn't get killed during the 1st week of November.

0.34" here last night. Just enough to give the vegetable garden a watering.
-
Yeah I'm sure the NAM 3km is way overdone with the .75 to 1 inch for our area, but HRRR is probably underdone with the less than a quarter inch. Your prediction looks good -- probably close to a third of an inch. Obviously not enough to help with the drought, but I'll be happy to see the vegetable garden get a watering.
-
Only a tenth of an inch of rain here last night. No surprise. The drought will continue to get worse with this dry week. Hopefully we'll get some help for the drought next week, but who knows. At least we have perfect viewing conditions for the peak of Orionid meteor shower tonight. Clear skies and no moonlight. It should be a good show.
-
0.51" storm total here. Not enough to put a dent in the drought unfortunately.
-
Only 0.42" here so far. Maybe we get a quarter inch more this afternoon into tonight? At least it's enough to give the vegetable garden a watering, but not nearly enough to bust the drought. I was hoping we'd get a lot more from this storm, but of course the signs were there that the heavier amounts would be to the south and east.
