  1. I remember trying to get out early from work when Gloria was blowing past. No luck. When I saw the track, I viscerally recalled it was either 2004 or 2005 when FL was the bullseye for so many 'canes and confirmed (and even saw a news item about it) how Ian is doing a path similar to the nasty little powerful Hurricane Charley from 2004. Charley did make landfall on some of the keys as a Cat 4. As an obs, I finished with a high of 75 yesterday and had a low of 51 this morning. The skies have been variable, with lots of cumulus, and it's currently a pleasant 69 with dp 48. (edit to add the 2pm track for Ian)
  2. My eventual high yesterday was 74 before it clouded over and rained. I got a round 2 shot of 0.02" of rain between 10 - 11 pm making for a total of 0.45" for the day. Low so far this morning has been 54 and it's currently 56 and partly sunny with dp 56.
  3. Got a sun shower and clearing incoming from the west, with another hundredth and 0.43" the tally so far with this event. Currently dark and cloudy to the east and mostly sunny to the west and 62 with dp 61.
  4. I think the report was mostly focusing on California, which stays in almost perpetual drought and if anything, was an offer for something other than complete xeriscaping as they do in the more desert areas of the state (and adjacent AZ). I managed to pick up another 0.01" from the back edge for a total of 0.42" in this round (supposedly another possible round is due later overnight but we'll see). Currently 62 with dp 61.
  5. Rain has mostly blown through now and just have some mist/drizzle. Picked up a welcome 0.41" from that round. Currently 61 with dp 60. Heard a KYW/CBS radio report talking about the drought (around the country) and how "Clover is the new lawn'". Don't really have to mow it (much) and you get your green plus you get the pollinators!
  6. Gully washer with >1.5"/hr rain. Currently have 0.22" in the bucket although I expect this may be a fast-mover. Currently 63 with dp 61.
  7. Had a low of 58 this morning and so far it went up to 74 when the sun finally came out later this morning. But right now, it looks like armageddon outside with the sudden overcast and this on my doorstep! Will see if it can hold together for the couple miles that it is from me.
  8. Had a final high of 64 yesterday and am sitting near my low for the morning of 46, with the last time it has been that IMBY, was back on May 9. Haven't completely decoupled and gone calm here but am close. Currently 47 with some scattered clouds and dp 39. Keeping an eye on TS Ian that recently formed (TD-9) and is aimed at FL.
  9. Finally bottomed out at 51 this morning and it's currently 52 and partly sunny with dp below 40 for the first time in a long time, at 39!
  10. Some Frost Advisories lofted in a couple southern NY state counties across from NE PA. Mother Nature giving the signal to "get ready".
  11. I know you are ecstatic! Did finish with a high of 79 yesterday and right now have some scattered clouds around and temp here IMBY is 52, with the dp 43.
  12. After several hours of virga, finally getting some light rain with the frontal passage. Temp literally dropped from 70 down to 63. Have 0.06" in the bucket at post time. Dew point is 60.
  13. Got up to 81 as a high yesterday after a low of 61. This morning was like soup with a low of 68 ahead of the cold front. Currently clouding over quickly ad 78 with dp 70.
  14. Gaston is a long way away! Didn't make it to 80 here today (had a high just short, at 79). The dews at least dropped into the 50s. It's currently partly cloudy about 10 minutes from sunset, and 76 with dp 59.
  15. Got a parting shot of more drops enough to finally tip the bucket for 0.01". Sun out and humidity up with temp still 74 but dp now 69.
  16. Topped out at 82 yesterday and 86 today before it clouded over. Had a low this morning of 64. Have gotten about 80 drops which was enough to wet the walk but otherwise not enough to even be measurable. I guess I'll take the wetted leaves. LOL Currently overcast with mostly virga and random splats, and temp at 74, with dp 68.
  17. Made it up to 80 as a high yesterday and had a "warmer" low this morning of 62, with what I expect was some stratus that has mostly cleared now. There's currently a thin and hazy deck of cirrus that the sun is penetrating and it's 66 with dp 65.
  18. My high yesterday was 75 and I had a "warmer" low this morning of 60. It's currently already past yesterday's high and is mostly sunny and 78 with scattered cumulus and a dp of 63.
  19. Made it up to 73 as a high yesterday after a 67 low. The dews yesterday had dropped down into the upper 40s to boot. This morning's 53 low was the lowest here since June 6. It's currently mostly sunny and 69 with dp 54.
  20. Maxed out at 78 and the dews have been staying in the low 60s much of the day. Currently clear and 74 with dp 61.
  21. Maybe for this guy that formed today. Otherwise I bottomed out at 59 this morning and it's currently a sunny 77 and all blue sky, with dp 60.
  22. There was some light rain last night enough to tip the bucket for 0.01" but the bulk of overnight rain came between 1 - 3 am giving me an additional 0.82". That has now brought my September total (usually one of our drier months absent any tropical cyclones/remnants) to 5.55" IMBY. Currently an overcast and misty 71 with dp 71.
  23. Jeb just wants to go a-walking! As an obs, I ended up with 0.55" of rain yesterday and my "low" has been 70 this morning, where it has been hovering around that as a floor for some time, + a few degrees and back as the temp wobbles. Didn't have any fog here but some low stratus that initially started to break up but then it clouded over again. It's currently 72 with dp 71 and had the steamy windows this morning.
