We flurry.

6” is probably really only 4” anyway

It was a nice drive in though this morning, dense fog, heavy frost on everything, the sun just starting to come through. Beautiful

Nah, I'm lying to you, I've been down in the low teens already.....yes, it really is my first 20's. This is typical for me I've noticed over the years, that I'm behind a bit on the cool temps early in the season. Once all the leaves drop then I can start radiating, the pond and river may have its own slight affect too as its always a bit more humid near my house so I think it keeps the dews up a degree or two in comparison to locations around me.

First 20s of the season IMBY, low of 25

I’ll post a pic. It will have a pipe screwed to the center of the board. The pipe will have adhesive measuring tape on it. I’ll still measure with my snow ruler but the pipe will be easier to read from a distance to ballpark it until I actually measure. The pipe will also serve as a marker to keep track of the board. I’m going to make a second one to use for tracking the snowpack, hopefully we’ll have one to track.

Nevermind that you’re measuring on a damn grill LOL. I planning on making a new snowboard this week, gonna borrow a couple ideas I’ve seen in the NE thread over the years.

I have some flakes mixed in there now. I never expected much of anything from this down here at 385’.

Rain here now.

I’m still waiting on basically any precipitation. There were drops on the concrete but it’s not solidly wet. We fringe.

Do you at least have the greenest lawn on the block? Hopefully it works out for you.

At the very least it’s starting to feel like fall

As is tradition

There are plenty at my house, you can have them if you want them.

http://www.hudsonvalleyweather.com/2017-2018-hvw-winter-outlook/ I haven’t gone back to see how they did in the last with their winter outlooks.

Same here, hoping today is the last mow but I doubt it. There’s no point in putting the shorts away anymore.

Yeah, glad it’s back because I SO missed humid weather...not.

Sure you did....

Hang in there, tough guy.

There's less daylight no matter how people want to spin it. I once heard it said, though I don't recall where or who said it, but daylight savings time is like cutting an inch off of the top of the blanket and sewing it to the bottom, the blanket remains the same size regardless.

The flip side though is if we kept EDT then sunrise on Christmas Day for example would be 8:22am.

Sunset starts getting later again around 12/14 for those that really hate the early sunsets, but not by much.

Often its a no brainer when the first hard freeze is and then there are years like this...for example, I know I got down to 30 this morning but I didn't see any frost on anything. I love those mornings when there's a heavy frost on everything.

This morning looks like it could be my first hard freeze but I'm still not positive. Does anyone know what the official definition of a hard freeze is for this neck of the woods? It seems like each NWS office has it's own definition. For IMBY I use a definition I found years ago but haven't been able to find recently which was a low of 28 or temps below freezing for at least three consecutive hours. My low was only 30 this morning but I think I might have been below freezing long enough for this morning to count. I know to most of you none of this matters LOL. So going with today ties me with 11/1/10 for the second latest freeze since moving into my current house in 2005.

Very nice
