Mowed Sunday, (partly to get some bags of leaf mulch). At the time, I was pretty sure I'd have another cutting on the South facing slope at least, but after 2+" of rain I'll have to re-evaluate. In fact, this morning the whole neighborhood was a big mess of wet leaves.

Storm total 2.4"

1.31 at obs time, still raining.

I think that chart is wrong for 1987, when we only had 31". Eta : I get closer to 24 than 26, so the basic idea is true. Interesting.

Yeah but you know how to work a measuring stick.

With one of the analogs being the highest in the POR, (2010) I would be tempted to remove the highest and lowest before averaging. (Unfortunately, that would leave only 2 years) Just a thought. ETA: I did the average by this method and it came out 21.8" vs 35.0". Hmmm

33 low. But I was surprised at the amount of frost, especially on roofs up the street. Downright heavy.

That is a high bar. They seem to go on for decades.

And I guess there's no "who are you and what have you done with the real Chuck?" emoji either.

0.23" in the gauge

BWI: 8.3" DCA: 5.9" IAD: 13.0" RIC: 3.1" Tiebreaker SBY: 5.0"

Eh, not something to be taken too seriously (IMO). But, now that you bring it up... ...CWG made a reference to the Doug Kammerer 1" outlook last year, and I heard that he is bullish on this year, So, if that verifies, I for one, will be duly impressed.

Them last year:

Led to our coldest Dec on record, and a white Christmas. (At least that's what I wrote on an ornament I carved for my wife that year). Dang, we're old.

quote from the report: Below are the analogs that scored at least 2 points are as follows: ✓ 1951-52 (3 points) ✓ 1958-59 (2 points) ✓ 1965-66 (3 points) ✓ 1972-73 (2 points) ✓ 1976-77 (3 points) ✓ 1986-87 (2 points) ✓ 2002-03 (2 points) ✓ 2006-07 (2 points) ✓ 2009-10 (5 points) ✓ 2018-19 (2 points) -------------------------- The others aren't even in the same ballpark. I'm only half serious, and there is a disclaimer, and all that, but...I can't wait for @Jebman to see this. (Thanks @Terpeast, for the nice work.)

True...See this post in the NYC Metro forum. LGA average first freeze later than both RDU and Tallahassee FL. Yes; NY freezes later than FL. https://www.americanwx.com/bb/topic/59595-october-2023/?do=findComment&comment=7036993

Looking at the Chesterfield County Airport reported 22f this morning; and it's just across town from RIC. That's 22f while DCA was 34.

Low of 29

October total only 1.45". (Lot of unproductive dzl) Highest temp 81, lowest 36

I'm 9 hours late, but each cam now shows a coating of snow. A few flakes still falling

32 this morning. First Freeze for us.

I remember him contesting for most HRs on the season, but didn't manage to do it, IIRC. Somewhere around here I still have a ball with his autograph. RIP

I noticed that too. Was wondering if he has teamed with an editor somehow.

37f and first frost

Never thought I'd see these words on a Jeb post. (It's not snow related, so I guess it's OK) Don't worry. That Texas sun will dry out that car in due time. (Voice of experience here)
