57 and full sun here. Some 60's out on Long Island and around NYC.

Looks like BDR for 5 mins put up their first 32.

I think they radiate well there with the sandy soil. HVN and BDR were in the mid 40s most of the night.

Yeah. We still grow with BDR at 44. There still hasn't been anything close to a frost here..

My Peonies think its spring and there will be blooms soon...

60 here and the Yellow Jackets are back out in full force trying to get a taste of this delicious East Rock Brewing Oktoberfest..

Some great late season blooms from my vines. All my clematis and morning glory are going nuts with flowers. The ice plant is still blooming as well. Just noticed a few dandelions and clover flowering in the lawn as well.

Still haven't even been in the 30's here. Looks like another mid November or later first frost for BDR.

Been a pretty good rain event for Southern CT.

They are running the ferry? Looks like Block Island is shut down today.

Yeah. Woke up to no power and some damage here.

Looks like days and days of wind and rain here.

Looks like GON and IJD with the first 30s for CT. 50 for the low here.

What a September down here on the sound. +3.2 for HVN. 4th warmest September on record.

Looks like GON picked up 1.37 from that.

Nothing compared to tornadoes of yore like Wallingford in 1878. The tornado started at 6:15 p.m. local time[1] as a waterspout over Community Lake, just west of town. It then moved through the center of town along Christian Street, damaging almost every structure as it went. The tornado tore houses from their foundations, throwing some more than 600 feet (180 meters). A receipt from the town was later found 65 miles (105 km) east in Peacedale, Rhode Island.[4] Large trees were uprooted and snapped, and those that were still standing were stripped of small limbs and leaves. The Catholic Church was blown to bits, and heavy tombstones in the nearby cemetery were tossed around. The brand-new brick high school building was almost completely destroyed.[6] The tornado's path through town was only two miles long, but the damage path was up to 600 feet (180 meters) wide.[7]

Thanks. Some incredibly warm Long Island sound temps as well for this time of year.

So the data indicates it's off by possibly 2 degrees? Seems to run very close to BDR. There's also like a half dozen or so WU stations near HVN that seem to run pretty close to it.

Still waiting for my first 40's here...

What an extended summer here on the shoreline. Was out on the boat last night and there has been a pod of around 50-100 bottle nose dolphins hanging out in Branford harbor.

84 for highs today for BDR and HVN.

Nice summer like day here in New Haven as well in the mid 80's with some nice dews.
