Oddity this year in that my backyard with the oaks has more leaves than the front yard with the maple. The maple usually drops before the long period of oak leaf fall. The dogs have already dug some holes in the yard, so I'll be patching next spring.

BWI snuck it in. 32

31.3 for the low here.
IAD got it cleanly. DCA did not. BWI is close.

Co workers in Minnesota and Wisconsin sharing snow pics this morning
I’m sure they are all making reference to the great Halloween Blizzard of ‘91. Though La Crosse had more of a mix in that one.

This stupid conversation is all over thanks.
That like on the initial post is a name I haven’t seen in a while.

IAD lost almost 10 degrees in 10 minutes without any precip. Still made it to the lower 80s.

I've never felt so down after beating the Packers at Lambeau...thorough butt whooping yet Kirk going down blows.
Amazingly, this team was better than the 13-4 team last year. They were poised to make a run with a soft schedule coming up, JJ coming back, and Kirk playing the best of his career. And now, do they panic and bring in someone else, or just accept the tank and let Hall go out there? So deflating.

People in costumes at the Halloween parties today looked absolutely miserable. Obscene weather.

Damn!
Hurricane Otis Discussion Number 13 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP182023 400 AM CDT Wed Oct 25 2023 Satellite data indicated that Otis continued to strengthen to near the time of landfall in southern Mexico. Subjective Dvorak data T-numbers were around T7.0 (140 kt) around 04-05Z while raw objective ADT numbers were in the T7.2 to T7.6 range between about 01-05Z. Based on that data, Otis is estimated to have made landfall around 0625 UTC as a category 5 hurricane with maximum winds of 145 kt. The core of the hurricane moved onshore in the greater Acapulco area.

Well, crap. Two more degrees this morning and this would have been in really good shape with the front coming through next week.

Huge swing day for the cold spots. IAD up to 73 after a 34 low.
Like DCA, I only hit 43 this morning.

I had a hard time believing the Vikings would go 0-4 to start the season at home. Well played tough game to give the home crowd something to cheer about
Really fun game to watch. The OL gave Kirk enough time and he balled out, even without JJ. The schedule is very manageable going forward, with the hardest games behind us (KC, Philly, SF).

Enjoying the beat down. The Lions were getting a little too full of themselves.

0.09” yesterday. Very dry October. Pines are shedding in the wind today.

63/43. A nice October day. The Euro really is playing the grinch (or Santa based on your perspective) for the rain on Friday. Basically no precip through 10 days.

Hamilton deserved that ejection. That was as dirty as it comes.

The last burst got us over a half inch, at 0.53". That'll work.

I actually know a fair bit about this. This is the first S-Band phased-array mobile radar. The beamwidth is quite wide because an S-band requires a huge antenna, but since it is mobile it can get closer to storms making the wide beam less relevant. The phased-array aspect is amazing. Every one of the individual elements that makes up the radar panel is technically a separate radar. The panel spins mechanically but the tilting is done electronically. So you can get a whole volume update on the time it takes to go 360 degrees. It is almost a certainty that this technology is what the next NWS network will be. The holdups right now are finding ways to make the dual-pol variables more robust and, of course, cost.

How can you people remember who called what for a winter from 14 years ago?
All I can remember is Ji stating in mid-January that the winter was a disaster because we only got one HECS. If that indicates the expectations.

Disappointed the Twins couldn't get one at home but the crowd was electric and that game was tense and fun last night. Good luck to the other teams still playing...Arizona is an intriguing team.
Breaking the playoff losing streaks was the best we could really hope for this season. Need some better plate discipline next year. Leading the majors in Ks and then striking out 14 times in an elimination game was foreseeable.

Is Yoda our resident Texas Rangers fan? Maybe still partying
Makes the O's loss to the Rangers not look quite as bad.
