ICON with Kuchera. What could possibly go wrong?

Ran the 00z ICON from my basement.

Some nice fake snow today. I'm liking the look of some of those clown maps too.

First "measurable". Weee!

31.5°/30.0° with ZR- Bit of a glaze on some surfaces, but nothing remarkable.

Only down to 29.8° this morning. No fake cold for me.

35.4° here in Bradford, and suddenly there's a bunch of sleet rolling off the roof.

Made it down to 26.1°. Not as cold as Oct 10th, but still pretty chilly. I suppose winter is on its way.

Gonna be a chilly one tonight. Clear skies, dead calm, and already down to 28.9°.

I actually managed to stay above 32° this morning. 32.5° min.

Thanks! Yeah, I originally intended to have them fixed in place, but then I realized I could avoid adding gable vents by just having the the cupola windows open instead. I'm on the lookout for an antique bell to hang in there. My plan is to rig something up to get it to ring on the hour.

This is what I get for making stupid jokes. My power just cut for a few minutes, and I have literally no cell service at my house, as in, I can't even send SMS messages without the internet, lol.

Not to brag, but my anemometer recorded a massive gust of 20.6 mph earlier today. Massive damage too. One of my plastic Adirondack chairs tipped over.

Heating can be expensive. My parents spent around 1000$ a month in fuel oil during winter at their old house. And that was with a pellet stove too.

1.44" in the stratus this morning. Kind of in the middle of my expectations. And heat wise, was able to avoid it until the 10th of this month when it hit 25° in the morning. Fuel oil fired furnace, which kind of sucks.

I'm up to 0.27" right now. Building an ark in the basement as we speak.

It's been a while since my last barn update. Still have some trim work to finish up, and the doors have to be made (planning on a naturally stained wood in a chevron pattern), but the painters should be arriving sometime next week. Electrical will be the last problem to tackle, but I think that'll have to wait for spring.

27.5° for the low this morning. 7th day below freezing this month.

Nothing overnight, 0.21" yesterday, 0.71" for September, and 1.24" for August. Seems positively lush compared to some nearby posters. Currently, light to moderate rain under the beam, sitting in the porch, drinking coffee, and enjoying the dews while they last.

What, are you telling me that the eastern shore doesn't get its first frost at the same time as far northern Maine?

31.3 this morning in the lowlands just south of Lake Sunapee.

Millionth stunner of a day in a row today. Did the some vehicle "hiking" up Mt. Kearsarge. Passed a (European, I think???) cyclist beginning the climb up the auto-road at the park-entrance gate. By the time I was "hiking" down the little half-mile trail that takes you to the actual summit, the man had already finished the climb and was actually going up the trail wearing clipless cycling shoes. When I made it back to the parking lot near the top, I noticed he had left his gravel bike leaning against the trail information stand unlocked and unattended. Not sure I would be ballsy enough to do that with a bike worth several grand.

83.8° high off a 46.2° low this morning. Just about perfect weather really. Makes me excited to practice my new fire breathing hobby in the woods out back later this evening.

With a low of 42.4° this morning, the low 'round these parts has averaged 40.1° over the past 6 days. Over the same period (well, not including today) the average high temp was 75.5°. Awesome weather, just really unfortunate that the miasma of drought is dampening the vibe. River out back has been reduced to a trickle.

37.4° this morning. Eyeing the heat setting on the thermostat ominously.
