37.9 in N Smithtown. Chilly nights and the best run of daytimes of the decade.

My early fall issue is proximity to a much much larger pool.

Frost on the lawn again this am. Min 36⁰. Haven't checked. but the veggies are probably uninjured. KFOK got down to 27⁰

Not sure what the NWS standard is, but if n.5°, I round to the even number, otherwise up or down. But I'll often record a comment, such as min 32.5°. My sensor is pretty close, but within .1°F might be a tad optimistic. Autumns are a tad subtropical here due to the closeness of the LI Sound. This morning's low was 36° (36.5°). Some interior parts of Suffolk were in the mid to upper 20s.

39 here this morning. Not an easy feat with nearby LIS temps in the 60s. We had no power for a week after Isaiais in 2020.

Most of the island was out for one to two weeks. Some mitigation.

Hopefully. It seemed like 97-98 had more nor'easters than any other winter.

What caused the artificial cooling at BDR?

Large scale derecho look to that system currently making a mess of western NY.

That was one of the more spectacular forcasting fails in a while. Decided to go kayaking on the Nissy with a friend. Checked the radar and bailed after 40 minutes. Now I'm stuck drinking beer and eating pub food while I watch the torrent running down Main Street. Oh, the humanity!

1.31" rain here so far. 73.9/73.3, i.e., its really wet

There's been lots of loooong rolling thunder here for the past couple of hours, the kind from lightning that stretches 10 miles or more, but only 0.21" rain in the automated gage.

Might have been some breaks in the clouds to the west, but just dark, dreary and damp wall to wall here today. MaxT was 73° which is the lowest daily maxT since July 7 (max that day was 68°). I've no problem with a few days with the wx like this, but the mosquitoes are beyond ridiculous this month. Little buggers are pissing me off. It's bad when you go backpacking to get away from them.
