  1. It got a little breezy and I ended at .98. Looks like another dose coming soon.
  2. About 1.5 miles to my west our own DrVts' station has .65 while the two up here on the hill are at .55. Not much wind yet, 6-9mph.
  3. So, when does it get wet today? The radar makes it look like there a wall in N Central NJ but the sky here is getting really dark.
  4. Last night's cold did it. The tomatoes are done peppers seem to be more hardy.
  5. My p&c says snow showers Tuesday night.
  6. Looks like it finally dropped below 32 here on the hill in the sheltered parts of the yard. Good thing I pulled all the peppers on Monday.
  7. All we need to mess with the power here is ~30mph winds.
  8. Looks like FL is in for a couple of ugly days.
  9. The flowers around my garden are in better shape than they've been since early June. The Nasturtiums have grown to as much as 10 feet long with dozens of blooms along their length and the marigolds are going bonkers. It's great
  10. We had a few days in October that felt about right. At $6/gal for oil I'm fine with it staying above 60 at night for a while longer. .02 today. Meh...
  11. .2 but again, it was a gloomy, wet day with the persistent fog/drizzle/mist that soaked things more than the amount would have you think. I've never seen such a happy garden this late in the season.
  12. Yeah it keeps getting almost to freezing in my backyard but not quite making it, the front has had thick frosts a few times. The garden is green and doing quite well, the bees are happy too. Now if I could get the birds to leave the strawberries alone so I could have some...
  13. It was after? The memory, she ain't what she used to be :shrug: Yup Halloween was ruined here 2011 and 12.
  14. A lot has to do with wind exposure. The tree in my front yard is already bare, it dropped 90% of it's leaves yesterday but, the trees on the other (downhill) side of the street which are well sheltered are still 80% full.
  15. And the next day it snowed. They had to cancel trick or treating here because it was still sketchy with branches falling and blocked streets with no power.
  16. With the price of heating oil I'd really rather see a warm winter this time around. Sorry...
  17. And I have less than .2 today. It has been misty and dreary and with the little bit from yesterday everything is soaked but it hasn't actually rained.
  18. Nah that was my wife stomping across the house pissed off at me
  19. It stayed above freezing, 34-37, here on the hill and I only noticed spots of frost on vehicles with nothing on the garden plants including the stuff in hanging baskets. Phew...
  20. Putnam doesn't vote the same as the rest of the Metro area.
  21. Yup. Cold right now is really just using heating oil unnecessarily and killing the last fresh veggies out of the garden. I'd be fine with it if it didn't get much below 40 until it's about to snow.
  22. What I noticed driving around the Croton res yesterday is the water level is as low as it's been in years. All through this dry stretch it stayed up and now, after getting a bunch of rain, it's pretty low. Have they started the pre-winter water release already? It seems early for that.
