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.

I dunno I kinda like this. Working outside, doing stuff and being comfortable isn't a bad thing and with the price of oil heading north I'd rather not use any if I don't have to.

Hmm, I'll be up that way tomorrow but only have time to drive through because I'll be working. Gonna have to stop and absorb the scene. It also creates the longest traffic jams ever. They tend to start somewhere around I84 lately. We were at Woodbury Commons a few Sundays ago and to come home through Bear Mt was 4 hours on Google Maps so I had to go north and over on 84 so it was only 2:45. It's usually 45 minutes or so. That sucked. Then last weekend we were at a fair in Rhinebeck and it would have been 3 hours on the Taconic/84 or Rt 9/9G so I took back roads through the hills so it was an hour faster. It usually only takes 1:10. Fk Sundays...

@donsutherland1is that praying mantis in the picture native? I don't think I've ever seen one that big. I need one like that to take care of all the cabbage worms in my garden.

^^ Where's that?

He's from Brooklyn, they like it crowded

It got bright a few times this morning but not actually sunny, more like through a thin to medium thick cloud layer and it's warm and humid. It doesn't really feel like fall but it looks like it as the color is getting good on most plants now.

I drain ours 4 or 5 times a day, could probably do it more if I checked more often.

Say it like ya mean it, YAY!
