A history of tainted Halloween candy from a CNN article.  As I said last week, very few incidents have ever actually occurred. 
 

https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/30/health/halloween-candy-panic-conversation-wellness/index.html

And 0 incidents where it was a random trick or treater getting tainted candy.

I will continue to "check" my kids though.  How else am I supposed to get dibs on the good stuff?

34 at MWN. Fake as Fuck.

Lol same as here on the coast, 33.6F.

Growing season is a relative term for us. 

We picked 40 lbs of unripened tomatoes before the first frost on 10/9. Of that about 10 lbs are left to ripen or process. 

Picked a pint of raspberries yesterday from  cold hearty, late season variety plants.

Lettuce and spinach ready to harvest in the cold tunnel, and will reseed after for a harvest in March or April.

Plus carrots to pull in late Novie, to be replaced with garlic bulbs for next year. 

This all on 1/4" acre in suburbia with ample room for accurate snow measurement.

33.1F. coldest yet. Looks like any hard frost or freeze will be quite late this year. Called the marina earlier in the week and they still haven't winterized boat and it's going into the 20s tonight. Probably 29-30F right at the water which is where the boat is sitting. It'll be ok,  but c'mon man get it done already

Interesting, we bottomed out at 36, usually we have opposite results at this time of year.  We had our first frost and first freeze on the same day, 10/9.

My buddy has a boat in PWM and all I hear from him is how much the marina drags their feet every spring and fall.  They seem to operate on their own schedule with no care or communication.  Ball's in their court and they know it.

Incredibly still night tonight. Past 4 days of rain and mank have helped preserve whatever semblance of warm season remains.

Remarkable that on 10/26 in central New England you can still hear the forest vibrating with life. Don't remember that ever happening this late in the season.

Whatever critters weren't killed off by the freeze 2 weeks ago are making their sounds loud and clear tonight.

That's where their radar site is located (Hodgdon, ME).  NWS Gray put the map out.

No one wears shorts north of the mass Pike and west of 128, unless at the pool, beach, playing sports, or summer party. That's it.  You're not gonna go clean gutters wearing shorts and white new balances, get real, you'll look like a honky. 

I don't care what people think I look like.  All about comfort, baby.

Shorts ftw straight through to Novie.

same here. when I'm lazy and it's hot, I'll wack with shorts and long socks, but inevitably, some rocks will still sting me in the shins.

Is this what happens when grass doesn't grow?  Whack rocks instead?

I always laugh when folks say can you imagine if this would have been all snow? I go yeah, If my aunt had balls she would have been my uncle too.

Not sure if that's in response to my post, but I understand why you can't make that comparison.  T'Was a (poor) attempt at self-depicting humor.

And in other 'senseless tragedy' news.  Wx community losses one of their own despite numerous red flags.

Ouch, that does stink.

2.85" in the 8 incher.  I usually don't use it for non-frozen, but - let's be honest - this is the most liquid it'll see all winter.

This needs to be a quote tweet.  What a donk.

well, I'm not sure what my total will be since my weatherlink live stopped communicating at 11:27. Since there is no data logger like my old console unit, any rain falling after 11:27am is not retrievable.

Stratus ftw

what's pwm total right now? gotta be over 3"

would be surprised.  i'm sitting at around 2.25" about 3mi from the jetport.  This last slug coming up might do it though.

Yeah, it's like halfway there now.

I went out for lunch during that .. drenched from restaurant door to the car, wind blowing the rain sideways.  Felt like one of those reporters in a hurricane.

it was straight up tropical for about 20 minutes there. seeing quite a few reports of trees down and urban flooding.  Nothing "wild" or memorable per se but definitely notable.
