    A few miles between us, but sometime a planting zone apart it seems....there is plenty of color once you leave my hood. Pictures from today

    37.0° this morning, up to 42 with some clouds around. Ready for some 70s, leaves still mostly green in my neighborhood....

    Took this yesterday, same day last year.... The frost this morning should help speed things up, but what a difference between years here...
  4. Spanks45
    32.2⁰, valley fog put an end to the temp drop....got the first frost though
  5. Spanks45
    Down to 36.1⁰, at this rate we are heading into the 20s....
  6. Spanks45
    Quite the downpours passing through right now, very fall like out there right now...53⁰

    I could only get down to 37⁰ that morning, he beat me...Lol

    Not a cloud in the sky, not a leaf blowing here....it has to be the valley combined with the sandy soil, almost desert like.

    35.2⁰ this morning, looks like the growing season continues...

    Well behind here in the valley, same tree, same day last year versus this year....

    Tons of stuff moving around the tidal pools. Kids had a blast, waist deep in the water, felt like August with the warm sun. We tried Walnut beach for the first time, great town beach. 78⁰ currently here in Southbury

    What a day yesterday on the Sound. Water is still amazingly warm for mid October. No complaints if this continues into November....

    West of the river ftl today is seems....mild, but no sun or even blue skies to be seen. 67 atm

    A couple more from today, the berries are confused about the season....

    More yellows around here, but where there is some red, it is quite intense....

    I have actually looked into this, even before the panels went on. The sticker price was around 30 grand before tax incentives. A bit pricier than I was looking for, but will reopen that route before we make a decision. We are adding a wood burning insert for this winter to see how much we can knock off the oil usage. Our a/c unit is 14 years old and ready to be replaced, the oil burner is the same age, but has a good 5 years left, but the tank/flue liner needs replaced sooner rather than later, so that may be the push to remove the system all together. Odds are this winter ends up being warmer than normal, little snow and I will have no clue how well the wood insert could do.... How is your solar search going?

    Yup, just filled up the tank at $2.50/gallon. I can't imagine what it will be come January, can't wait to swap the old oil tank for a heat pump system.

    First 30s of the season here....
  19. Spanks45
    I hope so...garden is still thriving, but I am also sick of the mosquitoes, sooo.... Temp down to 47.8⁰
  20. Spanks45
    52⁰ at 7:30, might be seeing our first frost by morning. Forecast is 44⁰, probably push 35⁰ by morning here in radiator springs, Southbury....

    Top photo taken today, bottom taken last year on this date. We seem to be a bit behind this year, at least around here. The "drought" last year probably had something to do with it....
  22. Spanks45
    42.6⁰ here as well....frost is coming this week, might even touch freezing here if all things go right
  23. Spanks45
    Fog then some clouds slowed the temp drop, bottomed out around 44⁰. Should see our first frost here this week if clouds aren't an issue...
  24. Spanks45
    I hope so...48.9⁰ now, I am not ready to lose my tomatoes and peppers, still going strong
  25. Spanks45
    Sneaky cold night here incoming it seems...clear skies, calm wind and 51.8⁰ already.
