Thanks to everyone for making a fun and interesting contest.

I seem to recall that @WxUSAF faced the same issue when looking for his first freeze last month. Might be worth looking into, but I don't like to question other observers' siting. Y'know, throwing the first stone and all that.

Low of 26 Ice forming on the South River. Not very common for November.

Low 18.5f I didn't yet winterize my north facing hose bib. Just seems too early. Guess not, eh?

Already down to 25 beating my morning low. DP 12.

28 for the low. But DP noticeably drier today at 20. (Up to 22 now)

Made a low of 27 overnight. Coldest of the season for me.

1.07" storm total

Walked the dog. Officially Declared Miserable. Dark, cold, rain. 39 hvy rain.

28f for the low. 1 colder than yesterday (slightly surprising)

Google seems to (erroneously) think Sandy Level is on the NC border; not near Smith Mt. After a camping trip to Smith Lake years ago, I returned by the east side because I just had to visit the dam. Turned out to be quite a detour, but worth it. At that time Applalachian Power had a visitor center there which is really good. Seems to be run by volunteers too. Just driving around the area, I really liked it. Of course, knowing the history of the area, I felt like I should be driving around in a fast 1940 Ford with overload springs.

Low of 29 on a DP of 26

Overcast moving in quickly and suddenly at Annapolis, 14:45

What?! You mean the winter with 51.8" of snow at BWI? Strangely though; if NOAA data is to be believed, the same winter had 33.6" at DCA. Significant difference, even for DCA. Anyway, I don't see 63-64 working out for us.

Beautiful Indian Summer day out there. Much drier than the past few days; blue sky, breezy, mid/upper 70s

Another foggy morning. 59f Maybe all the moisture will keep the dust down for the leaf blowing/grinding.

Sterling's Fog Advisory set to expire at 10:00am. I don't know how well it's clearing around the region, but here in Annapolis it's still plenty thick. Our survey crew has waited a little to go out; expecting it to be good by now. We'll just see, I guess.

Very Foggy in parts of AACo. Coworker in Bowie said he couldn't see traffic lights at a couple of intersections. 47f

Monthly total 5.29" Lowest temp 32f on the 19th; highest 75 on the 7th. Fairly early freeze date for my station. I notice 2015 was 31 on the same date.

Near constant drizzle here since Sunday afternoon. But probably less than 1/2" total so far. 0.11" overnight.

I've always thought (rightly or wrongly), that it also cuts down on seed being eaten by those pesky birds. Looks good.

Only about 0.30" for yesterday + overnight, but steady light rain started 5pm and never stopped. Temp has basically been 55f since sunset yesterday.

Fairly rainy driving eastbound on rt 50 about 10:00 ; after hitting AACo. All dry in PG and MoCo. Seems to have stopped here now.
