I'm down to 31.6 now just before 9:30. Was at my sister's in northern NJ and returned home a few hours ago. What I couldn't figure out is how Mt. Holly has them (Morris County) going from a mix over to all snow Monday morning with 2 to 4 inches of accumulation forecast by Monday night. How can they be going from a mix to all snow during Monday while we are forecast to go from a mix over to all rain during Monday with no accumulations? That difference does not make any sense to me.

Actually, I thought yesterday was the perfect fall day.

19.6 for me at 4:36am. I just set up my weather station at noon yesterday at my new residence (apartment) that I moved to 1 week ago. I'm still in Carlisle but in South Middleton Twp now, moved from North Middleton Twp after living there for 8 years. I'm in a brand new apartment complex called Summerbridge. 298 units with solar (9 panels per unit). I've got the best exposure (location of the equipment) for any place I've every lived. Only minor issue is the wind is connected to the temperature so the sensor unit is mounted at 6 feet to get accurate temps, but wind no longer at 10M. Temp accuracy much more important, though. Needless to say there's heavy frost everywhere this morning and there's solid ice in the drainage culverts from the standing puddles of Thursday's rainfall. The manager of the apartment complex let me set up the station, so it will be the "offical" weather station for Summerbridge. For anyone interested here's my Weather Underground link to the station: https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KPACARLI73 Finally, I received some emails from my weather friends back in NJ this morning. The state climatologist (based at Rutgers in New Brunswick) reported a low of 19 degrees which broke the record of 21 set back in 1992. The 19 degrees was also the coldest temp recorded so early in the season. He went on to mention that just once month ago, on October 2nd the station hit a record of 95 degrees which broke the record for hottest reading so late in the season! Wow!

Congrats to your family, Chris, for that unique honor. (I'll be in touch soon to explain why I never got back to you about the HVAC)

Hello all. Welcome to another upcoming winter season...albeit a bit early again. I actually like autumn a bit more than winter, so I'd personally like to have my November 50's high temps back for a few more weeks. Like many here today was my first official sighting of snowflakes. We had numerous brief periods of flurries mid to late morning with an occasional heavier snow shower that lasted a few minutes. I was outside during one of the heavier snowbursts, and with the wind blowing it suddenly felt like real winter. Looking forward to having convos with all of you throughout the upcoming season. Looks like tonight will be the coldest night of "fall" thus far with low to mid 20's for me by morning. Enjoy your weekend! ---Stephen
