Agreed, don't really see the need to literally jump in this case.

Everything I’ve read and seen on smoke jumpers confirms your thoughts, they’re the best around. I remember a book in my grade school library ‘Smoke Jumpers’ that I would check out on a regular basis. I can only imagine being out there for water drops, I bet it made the ground shake! I’ll be interested to see photos/videos of the fire retardant drops this weekend.

@BxEngineI read yesterday that there are smoke jumpers from Colorado and Montana heading to the Jennings Creek/Greenwood Lake fire. That's impressive IMO but maybe has happened in the past more often than I realize? Any ideas? I thought the same thing about the air tankers heading in to drop retardants, clearly an all out blitz this weekend to put this thing down.

Sure is with 9% terrain open.

21 for the low here, 19 at KMGJ
-
Only got to 21 here, so no first teens of the season. KMGJ up the road got down to 19.

I'm always amazed at how the spiders love my weather station, and work really fast! I had .31 in the Stratus too the other day. There's always the debate on how accurate the tippers are but I think I've found a case where the Stratus can be off. I've notice in heavy downpours, which were a thing until recently, if I have the internal measuring tube with funnel inside the "bucket" it can under report. When I've taken the inner tube out ahead of heavy downpours and then measured after the fact both the Davis tipper and the Stratus were much closer in rainfall totals. I think the funnel can cause some of the heavy drops to splash out. That's my news.

Looks like 23 with do it for the low here this morning. First teens of the season forecast tonight, we shall see.

I looked at a couple Davis weather stations at Greenwood Lake. Both reported 0.00…it’s the season for clogged tippers. I have a debris screen in mine but it can still get fouled up, I cleaned mine out yesterday morning. The Meso location in Warwick reported .20.

Tomorrows strong winds and dropping dews won't be good.

Whatever rain it is can't get here fast enough with the region burning.

Forecast was 21, made it down to 26 for the low.
-
Yeah, it's being shared by a number of sources, just looking the official announcement. Clearly it just sucks.
-
Allegedly a forest ranger was killed today at the brush fire in Greenwood Lake. Looking for confirmation.

Agreed. Between the 08-09 and 17-18 seasons I averaged 53" a season. Between 18-19 and 23-24, which obviously includes the 11.6" from November 2018, my average is 38"
-
Temp had dropped to 68...back up to 71 now...wtf
-
Sunset over two and a half hours ago on Nov 6 and it just dropped to 70. Just plain stupid.
-
Average date for first flakes for me is 11/6 with average first measurable snow 11/8. Neither happening by those dates this year.
-
27 for the low this morning
-
Well...I'm the one recording all this stuff, so...
-
As I was updating my spreadsheet I realized that I did hit 28 on 10/17, so that goes down as my first hard freeze. The reason for the discrepancy is that I was out of town and looking at my Davis WeatherLink online which archives every 5 minutes but the console refreshes at a much smaller rate, every 2.5 seconds. I use the console for all of my records. So while I hit 28 for under five minutes that is the low temp that goes in the books.

Riding around with the car window open before dawn, incredible.
