Yeah. Upton pretty much just canceled all the the frost warnings for the coast here in CT... Frost coverage at the coast, where the growing season remains in effect, looks to be patchy at this time.

We grow with zero frost in sight.. Frost coverage at the coast, where the growing season remains in effect, looks to be patchy at this time.

39 for the low here on the shoreline..

Random map with no location? Looks great down here on the shoreline the next 10 days with Ryan going 0% for rain and zero cold in sight.

Special place there. You still growing and blooming? Was at my cousins yesterday in the Lordship neighborhood right next to BDR. Legit looked like summer there still. Full blooms everywhere. Neighbor had a full vegetable garden still going strong.

BDR hasn't even come remotely close to a frost/freeze. 1 single 38 low so far this month. Its usually close to mid November here before the first frost/freeze. A chilly 49 for the low the last 2 nights..

Muggy meters into Nov?

@tamarack Helped my wifes uncle close up their lake cabin this weekend near Morristown, NJ. Some impressive tree damage from that July 3rd storm with lots of local reports of 75 -80 mph winds. Almost all the damage was red oaks that split around 25-50 feet up. There is a lot of old growth trees and tons of 100+ year old giant Tulip Poplars that didnt even loose a branch.

Meriden, CT? It does have a local nickname of the "Dirty Den".

BDR with a 54 for the low. BDR still hasn't gone below 50 and Upton thinks we stay above. The coolest airmass of this fall will advect into the area Monday night into Tuesday and then remain in place into Wednesday. Lows Monday night will fall into the 40s for the most part with the coolest readings well inland. The NYC metro may remain right around 50.

I would lock in. The energy futures market for natural gas, heating oil, electricity is pretty nuts out to next year. Every 3rd party electricity supplier in New England is like $15-20 more a month right now for rates. Eversources standard supplier rates are currently much cheaper until the price adjustment hits in Dec. Its pretty much guaranteed there will be huge increases coming this winter as usually 3rd party electricity suppliers are much cheaper.

Some dews as well.

Wind really starting to rip here now. BDR just had a gust to 53 and HVN 47.

Lots of lightning out over the sound and a TVS on radar.

I have been using mini splits for the last 8 years in my all electric/solar house. I monitor the electricity consumption of everything and its incredible how efficent mini splits are. I kicked mine on a few mornings this week and they used like 1-2 kwh running a few hours in the morning. Thats like 50-60 cents in electricity. I could see if I had $6 heating oil waiting but your only saving like less than a dollar to be cold.
