Note to our younger members - we haven't had one in so long you might not know what one of these is. We used to get these from time to time and generally involves wind and rain/snow.
That's right, forgot about that. I wonder why they chose to start at 2008 and not 2010? I also wonder how the numbers would play out if you tossed the record setting 09-10 season? I'm impressed, I'm sitting at about 80% of average according to their map so I guess I can't complain.
The message is clear - head to Florida if you want to see snow! What, did they get 1/8" of snow one year vs the normal 1/16" every five years which turned them into a snow town? Who made that map, terrible. Oh I see WaPo in the lower corner. That tracks.
During the rain last night I let my dog out and emptied his water bowl on the front porch and this morning it had an inch of water in it so we got at least an inch between 10pm and this morning.
Back to the jungle weather. Windows closed and AC on. July sucked, August was cool, September is sucking, October is supposed to cool down? FF does that mean November sucks and then a December to remember? January thaw followed by an epic February?
Out at the cabin at just over 3k ft elevation i'd say half the leaves have already fallen. Color was shite though, I think with the drought they just crisped up and fell off. Down in Calvert we haven't really had any color change yet. It's been wet down here so hopefully the color will be better.
Tons of thunder moving in from the west at DCL. It hasn't reached us yet at the cabin but it's getting close. Breezy and 67F. Need the rain here so I hope it makes it.
We had some rain up here at the cabin yesterday night and it really cooled down. I fired up the wood stove quick to give it a test run before winter. Gonna go hiking in savage river SF this morning, sunny and breezy at 66F right now.
Out at the cabin this weekend, perfect weather at 78F. Pretty dry up here and leaves are coming down steady as well. Just got my firewood delivered so I'm almost ready for winter.
More importantly, we are getting some heavy wind gusts now. They have to occasionally be close to low end TS winds from time to time. Still heavy rain too.
