the worst part was the color of everything is tan or Terra Cotta...bridges and overpass, match the landscape...was there for a month once, so I decided to drive to the Grand canyon and didn't realize the temp difference from PHX to there was like 60 degrees+ and freezing there, beautiful to see but honestly not worth the drive and money, packed with people too.

colors are poppin, it's always usually the third week of October for peak here...now comes the clean up...

the three times I had to go to PHX for work there was some weird weather phenomena...one flash flooding storm, actually made the salt river flow violent for a couple days, a heat wave in July 125+ during the day but the 95+ night wind was worse, and a crazy sand storm I saw coming from south mountain across sky harbor, don't like PHX but Tempe and Mesa were cool. Tempe especially because ASU campus is all around with a plethora of establishments to check out.

27.3...we freeze... youngest had two games yesterday evening, brutal if you weren't dressed for it or moving around... last games for the season, they both played from March to now, one more game for the big boy and we done.

i heard 3 maybe 4 rumbles of thunder and some lightning, a brief downpour, that was my severe experience tonight.

softball game nearby?

quite the light show but the goods are a little south, been happening here for a while, severe is coming right at me then splits or fizzles last minute. probably the last severe warning we'll see this year

there was also a huge wreck on 95 in Niantic on the way so I went 82 to 2

yup, that's the one...lights came on, kids always love playing under the lights because it rarely happens, weather was awesome though, and my kid had a great couple games, not the best hitter but definitely one of the best defensive players.

71/64 here today, last weekend of fall baseball for my boys this weekend on Saturday both have double headers, so that outta be interesting. Last weekend we were in westerly for a DH and weather was awesome just miles from misquamicut, great games, now basketball starts next week.

can't believe this is still spinning around the same area...one of these in Jan/Feb please with some nice cold high in Quebec would be outstanding! looks like probably going to end with 2.2" unless it starts pouring again but looks about done...all the flight disruption is now making me come back very late tomorrow night early Wednesday morning, so that sucks but I kinda expected that.

2.12" now, most fell between yesterday afternoon and now

gauge at the house reading.63", and wife says nothing spectacular as far as wind, stations around my area saw maybe a few 30+ gusts, meh, it was legit windier on Wed before I left

so far at home I've got.31" new, and the highest gust was 28 sustained is around 10-15 but wavering... tonight will be different say from 10 onward.

if only this was a couple months later... let's hope we can get a monster or two this winter, with the ENSO placement further west than normal, it's going to be hard for models to get a handle on what happens, and the AK low, NAO, polar vortex split etc, we could end up with a rat or something special, I'm on the fence. I'd like a mild winter winter cold storms, heating bill gon suck if it's cold like last couple seasons...
