36 for the low here today, so far...we’ll see if we can beat that this evening before midnight. .49 event total up here.

Do you know if the station on you block is calibrated correctly?

"I walk around in the summertime asking 'How about this heat?'"

I would image that tree is a late changer every year? Just thinking that with all of the brick around it to retain warmth.

The maples in my yard are odd this year, as there is muted yellow on some parts along with brown spots, there are parts that dropped already, and there are parts that are red this year for some reason when in past years they were orange. There are some great looking maples though in the Middletown/Goshen area now, the entire tree a bright orange/flaming red.

That's exactly what I meant by disjointed. Either way, the weather this week has certainly helped the colors around here.

What’s everyone seeing for color these days? It seems like a bit of a disjointed year and all the dead ash will have an impact for years to come but the maples have great color this year as do the oak, which turned a bit early I’d say.

I wish I had only one more mulching of the leaves, that season has just begun in my yard.

The models have been going back and forth on a deep late season tropical system, seems to happen every year. The 6z GFS takes it out to sea. It’s all in fantasy land but offers some entertainment, as is tradition.

Lock it up?

No shortage of virtual rain over the next week on the GFS, the 18z spit out 4-6”

Just about time to tune 'em up

Its pretty clear that the pattern has changed as the fall season fully kicks in.

Agreed, those things certainly have and will happen again but what through me was a "slow deluge". October 2005 was anything but a slow deluge to me but I suppose its up for interpretation. 10/8/05-10/14/05 I had 14.81"

Has that ever happened? Up to .55 event total at home with a steady light rain falling. End of this week looks rather wet right now with a number of other events possible over the next couple of weeks. You eat an elephant one bite at a time.

.33 on the day

.26 here as well

Bet the under?

A stunning October morning up this way, up to 68 and brilliant sunshine.

I was in high school as well, the weather that day is burned in my head forever. One of my teachers lost his son in Coldenham.

At Coldenham Elementary School in Montgomery here in Orange County.

A tragic day we will never forget around here.

The foliage is definitely the best in a few years around here but considering how bad the last couple of years were that’s not saying too much necessarily. That said, it seems a bit odd as parts of trees are flashing good color for a couple days but it seems to fade quicker than normal, have you noticed that at all in your travels. At least we have color this year, which is nice to see again.

Was just out locally, lots of potential out there, you can see it with the maples along 211 between Montgomery and Middletown. The low of 36 here will only help the process. I grew up, and my Mom still lives, about 1/4 mile from the Hudson in New Windsor and the valley around there was always the last to change. I had season tickets to Army football for a long time and the area around West Point was always one of the last areas to change, at least the hills facing the river. Interesting micro climate along the river for sure.
