Well... There you have it. Winter is canceled!! You heard it here first. :-) ( Joking of course )

Ha!!! That's the pot calling the kettle black! All jokes aside... I know you get juiced up when we hit some good ole Winter weather. We're all just a bunch of weather geeks, nerds, gurus, ect... And most of us are looking for that's classic set up this Winter.

That's alright.... Kev is in the November thread already writing this Winter off.... True story...lololol

When did you get so pessimistic? LOL. You've just about written off this winter already. And you've been poo-pooing the fall constantly. Maybe it's your defense mechanism, maybe it's reverse psychology... Who knows. Get a grip man!!! Lol

Yeah ... On of our weather guys here in CT made mention of this on his live feed he does every morning. He's predicting that we'll see our first bit of snow in CT sometime between November 24th and 27th. We'll see if that comes to fruition. But it's nice to see signs pointing in that direction. In the meantime, we need some kind of rainstorm to come through here. Let's hope something appears out of nowhere within the next two weeks.

38 here.... Temps starting the upward trend today. Praying for some significant rain but not seeing anything I've the next 10 days at least. Uugghh

This is his defense mechanism. He has to err on the side of caution and get all pessimistic. But as soon as that first snowstorm comes, he'll get on that bandwagon... And that's when Mr. Optimistic comes into play. Mark my words.

With a pattern change?

So there you go. We'll have a third year in a row of a snowless winter. You may very well be right. But I hope you're wrong.

Today was definitely breezy. But this was a couple of days ago when I came home. Was no wind, but when I pulled in my driveway after work the entire driveway And lawn was covered with a carpet of leaves. Not just a few but literally covered where I couldn't even see my driveway from the grass.

Not sure if anybody feels this way. But I really feel the trees are becoming more bare faster than they have been in several years. Although the color was really nice around here, the last few days, they've just fallen quickly. I'm sure a lot has to do with the lack of rain. I have a feeling we'll have a lot less leaves on the trees for Halloween than we've had in the last few years at least.

Must you always make everything have a gay undertone? I swear.... If I didn't know better...lol ( and that's coming from a gay guy ). You are an odd bird! Now, regarding the leaves. The colors have been great, but I came home from work today and I feel like the leaves came down in droves as everything was completely covered. Covered. I think because it's been so dry, the trees are just losing the leaves now quickly. This may be the first time in quite some time that we'll have almost bare trees by Halloween.

Kev.... What in the hell are you talking about. When I look out my window at the woods around almost the entire perimeter of my house.... I see beautiful colors. Is it the best year for fall foliage... I'm not sure on that. But, it's not all brown trees.

I think they're now sitting at 82 now. So 83 is A great possibility at this point

With the increase from what you had is a load to where you were 45 minutes ago, I think getting up to 80/82 is definitely doable. It sucks though...we have to look outside at all the brown leaves since there is no nice foliage to look at ... Lolol

I can't understand how your area, or your microclimate is giving you a s***** Foliage. I wouldn't call it s***** when I look around the area here in Plainville. Plus we took a ride out to Washington outside of Litchfield and it was beautiful. Strange that you think it's real bad

Ok Kev.... We get it, reverse psychology. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. To say right now that it's going to go right through mid-november with dry and warm conditions. I wouldn't really bet on that. Far. Too many things can happen between now and then. Maybe a general consensus would say somewhat stable and mild. But you know as well as any of us on here that it just takes one storm on one given weekend to change things. And when it does, you're going to be the first one calling 4-8 inches of Snow. YOU KNOW I'M RIGHT...LOL

That's ok..... Let the dry, mild and brown stretch go through early November. It's December on that we want to see some changes. Fingers crossed ( and with a little lunch from mother nature ) we will see Winter kick in!

Lolol... We can take this post to a whole other place.. but we will leave the back dooring be. I'm surprised Kev didn't jump.on this one..lol Anyhoo... Looking forward to some warm days. We are taking a drive the Washington Depot Sunday to a Averill Farm. Should be a spectacular Leaf peeping ride their as well!

So you really believe that we will not see sub freezing temperatures until after Thanksgiving? Now, yes, it is going to be mild, downright warm from Thursday this weekend through the middle of next week. Week. But it's going to go back into the low 60s after that. But to say that growing season's going to continue through Thanksgiving is kind of a stretch. As soon as they tell us we're going to see some kind of cold stretch or some kind of snow event, you'll flip your switch.

I mean okay, from Saturday through next Wednesday. It's going to be very warm for this time of year, but it does settle back down into the low 60s by the end of next week in the into the weekend.... Just saying

When is this for?

Kev .. is it that different where you are in tolland? Over here in Plainville? The colors are really popping and looking great. My 11-year-old daughter was saying this morning how pretty the colors were looking. I don't know, it must be a matter of opinion

35 here this morning.... Frost on all the rooves.

I get the cold thing. I'm 52 now.... And I feel the cold more in my bones. So there's that ..lol
