Of course, we are getting past peak now, leaves are dropping fast, and the oaks with the brown are starting to take center stage now.
But Late last week, and especially over the weekend and into Monday, it was spectacular.
I’m thrilled. Who doesn’t like this? 74 here. About 8 degrees cooler than yesterday. Feels great. However, The hype is sickening, and so is the selling of a winter season that won’t start for 8 weeks yet.
Just remember one thing…the Tropical season was supposed/forecast to be off the charts active. All the ingredients were there for it to be an incredibly active year. And How did that work out? Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.
That’s always a possibility. But that was an extreme case. Hoping that doesn’t happen this go around. We also had a foot of concrete fall here that destroyed everything that October 2011 too…so that ain’t happening this go around either. Different year and set up.
For sure. We don’t need any semblance of winter now. Let Alaska/northern and NW Canada have it, and build up the snowcover there for now. We’ll get our turn.
We are starting to get a slight tad past peak, but overall That’s total BS for here in my area. Been a very good year for foliage here. I’ll go at it with you on that until the end. Some areas may not be good, but that doesn’t apply for plainville/southington/Cheshire at all. End of story.
Yes, and that’s fine…I have no issues with saying that. I’m going below 80 for Halloween. That’s my call. If it hits 80 here next Thursday, I’ll gladly say I was incorrect.
Perhaps? But it’s been a great fall. We’ve had it all so far….beautiful crisp days, frosty and frozen nights, sun for days on end, gorgeous foliage, and now big beautiful warmth. And Who doesn’t want it all? Stellar autumn.
