Not much of a surprise to be fair, the M-flare and full-halo CME were pretty well documented by all the usual imaging instruments. My camera picked up some faint color within a few degrees of the northern horizon but nothing out of the ordinary. It did look like a great show in the Plains and Midwest, which is favored by higher geomagnetic latitudes and the oblong auroral oval vs. the coasts.

Seeing some back-of-the-camera color and even faint pillars down here... probably a nice show ongoing in NNE
-
Pretty brave hiking Indian Head on a Saturday in October. May God have mercy on your soul.
-
I said the same thing about my pancake batter.
-
Yeah, I always buy one of the almanacs. They're an entertaining light read for $6 or whatever they are... the bogus wx predictions only take up a few pages.
-
Winter cancel
-
Ahh, I should have logged on earlier, would have definitely run up. I thought about going to that but ended up doing the walkway street fair instead.
-
It's hard to sustain the necessary bubble of warmth when winds are really whipping, otherwise the cold doesn't faze them. I think I missed my evening cigar a total of three times last winter. Which has been nice for sure, but isn't great for the long term implications of that particular habit

I've been happy with the $130, 48,000 btu upright units from BJ's. Easy to assemble and my first two have survived three winters of near daily use, although I did have to replace one thermocouple last year... quick fix
-
I was a little surprised too to have managed that even with a bit of low-level flow all night... although 38 was, in fact, the low. Love those first mornings in the 30s when the steam billows off lakes and ponds. Also gonna pretend I didn't see bx's post. edit: I lied, 37.4 is the daily minimum
-
Well, already down to 38 with potentially another hour to go. Chilly.

Albany P&C takes me to 39 tonight. Should be semi-interesting to watch as conditions look okay but not excellent for radiating. If there's a light breeze in the morning as modeled, that could really thicken up the fog over the river and make for some impressive sunrise views.
-
Yeah, that evolved into quite the soaker. Looks like I'm gonna be in it for a while yet... ~0.6" so far
-
Not much rain here either, just enough to screw with garden cleanup for the day. Some nice thunder to set the mood, though
-
Felt like a summertime mow today. Eyes clogged with dust, grass tall and green, sun beating down.
-
Stormy evening out there... could be the last one until Christmas Eve
-
Approximately 30% of my social media feeds is now photos of Franconia Notch. Autumn officially begins when that proportion reaches 50%, it's coming.
-
46 for a low today. I just noticed that July 2020 was the last month here without a low in the 40s.
-
Dodging Santas and reindeer while mowing this year
-
I saw a handful on September 14th this year, which is the latest here since I started paying close attention about 10 years ago.
-
The mozzies are unbearable this month. Every walk to the car is like running the gauntlet.
-
That's one slender watch.
-
Nobody needs excessive heat ever, but also it's too early for sweaters and knit caps. We spent most of the summer holed-up inside, seeking refuge from record humidity. A month of pleasant warmth is fair.
-
Boxed water hasn't caught on at all around here. I had assumed that was true everywhere. Haven't tried it personally, so no judgement on taste vs plastic, although plain water is just a bummer to start with.
-
It's not far off. Something like 2/3 of bottled water is just tap water from whatever municipality the bottling plant is in.
