Not looking forward to a round trip to Brockport on Mon/Tues if this comes together.

Had a minute of pea>lima beans sized hail now heavy rain with lots of C2G and thunder, wind hasn't been too bad. Temp is down 10° in a half hour.

Really cool clouds! Temp is down a few degrees and dropping fast, wind isn't bad but the gusts are getting stronger as the line approaches with long deep rumbles of thunder and lots of lightning.

58° and pretty windy, most leaves are down now, but not much rain with just .05 so far.

That was a nice stretch. I should have gotten more done. Again... So is this incoming system gonna flip the switch or is it still 2 weeks out?

It only got below freezing in one spot (that I know of) here on the hill, most were 33-34. Most of the garden has given up for the year but a few things are plodding along. The brassicas were pretty well decimated by cabbage worms twice this year and I didn't bother to pull them. Well, these frosts put the bugs down and the cabbage and cauliflower started going to town. This upcoming warm up ought to turbocharge them so I'm thinking a dose of Neptune's Harvest after the ground softens in the morning should do it and we'll have fresh greens again before we freeze up for the season. I think I might eke out some more root veggies, lima beans, peppers and potatoes too.

It looks like a bunch of stations in the area were as low as 27-28 early this morning but the lowest I can find here on the hill is 31 but most were 34-36. Did the solar storm light show make it this far south overnight? Will it be strong again tonight?

I also stayed above 32 (33 low) and have frost on cars but not much else and only after 6:30 when it had already started warming up

That's a scary thought.

Mine is 33 tonight and 30 tomorrow. I'm sick today but hoping to get outside tomorrow to pull those peppers, move the summer plants inside, clear two beds and turn them then put the garlic in after the few cold nights this week. The plan is to load the beds that had bug problems this year with garlic and onions. Then, since it looks dry for a while, I need to pull the saggy headliner out of my truck and redo it. Good fall weather is nice so you can get things done.

Looks like that first real freeze happens tomorrow night. I need to go pull peppers so they don't freeze, too bad the strawberries on the plants aren't nearly ripe yet.

It would be ok with me if you posted more shots like this. Over the mountains, the Grand Canyon, etc. I love trying to figure out where aerial pics were taken.

6.5 total, 6.6 including Sunday morning. It was windy enough this morning to take down my 10' Mexican Sunflowers.

6.5" 48 hour total.

All day I forgot to look at yesterday. Duh... 1.2 yesterday and 4.7 today makes for a very soggy way to end the month.

Wow, I just looked and including the 1.2 yesterday I'm now at 5.9 for the event. All day I forgot to look at yesterday

2.35 and climbing steadily but (apparently) not as quickly as you guys. A bit more wind than earlier.

1.65 with a bit of wind but nothing (so far) that should cause too much damage.

1.65"

.66

It turned out nice, a little warm and muggy for the end of October though. Now it's soggy (again).

So cloudy and damp but no rain for the next few hours, right?

Much ado about nothing... A little wind, no thunder, .5" in less than 10 minutes and it was over.

Put 'em back up. They look much better on the trees.

I wear jeans and a very thin long sleeve so the skeeters and other stingy things aren't a problem. If your allergies are so bad that you have to spray poisons you should probably move. Maybe somewhere like the desert. You'll get all the extreme temps and shit that's you can take.
