With rain and strong wind coming, leaves are probably at their peak.  Was hoping to have a nice and sunny day to view them before they fall, but the sun has been in pretty short supply the last 10 days or more.

Took this today looking over the Dead River

Had anyone heard of nasty flu viruses going around? I tried to google flu activity for Illinois and couldn’t find an updated chart. My fever is at 103.5. This stuff is no joke boys.

103.5 is high dude.  Hope you’re okay. Don’t delay a dr’s visit.

Light rain and 38 at 6pm... breezy from the north. Def cold feeling this afternoon... can almost smell the snow! 

Quite the chilly stretch the past several days.  Have had rain/graupel and at times in heavier showers, all graupel.  Even had a few flurries in the sprinkles early this morning.  Color show near peak in higher terrain areas around my house and down toward Negaunee, a week or so behind down on the lake. 

Some pics today... hi-def if you click on them

Just a rainy and raw morning, 42 degrees. AFD mentions possibility of first flakes/grauple tomorrow night. I’m sure I’ll stay up late looking!

CAA drops 850mb temps down to -6C or colder by late Fri night/Sat
morning, improving lake effect processes. Wet bulb zero heights fall
below 500ft over higher terrain of west and north central, so if
there is in fact pcpn occurring, could see some snow flakes or
graupel at times with the rain showers

Foggy, drizzly and 44 this morning... will stay in the 40's today with an east wind off the lake.  Hard frost/light freeze yesterday morning with a low temp of 31. Autumn progressing quickly in the north woods!

Stayed in the upper-40's all day yesterday with persistent drizzle. Summer looks and feels a thing of the past. Leaves are beautiful so far this year.  Could see the first flakes towards the end of this month.  Average September snow is .2".

It's hard to believe that soon bo and Will will be reporting flakes flying.

 

Down to 36 this morning with frost on the roof of the house and truck... nothing on the ground.  Leaves are changing noticeably every day.  I'd estimate peak in 2.5-3 weeks.

 Best summer of my life!

I agree lol. Not that it ruined the season. But there was way too much severe talk in winter. I'm just surprised rather than a snow thread or something it's a wind chill thread that's going strong lol.

I've never been good at sarcasm.

The coldest windchill by state thread needs to be renamed the zombie thread.  The thread that will not die.

It's Beavis getting even for all the warm talk in the middle of winter.  It ruined the whole season.

Had a good friend that went to a wedding Friday night, wasn't feeling well. Went for a walk with his mom and sister around the pond, than had a brain aneurysm and died on the spot at 26 years old. Enjoy each day with your family and friends. 

Very sad to hear you lost a good friend so young and so sudden.  An aneurysm killed my mom.  Great advice to follow.

This is the most ridiculous sh*t ever!

Point taken, Beavis!

Started the day out nice, warmed up to 66 so I hopped on my quad and went for a ride.  30 minutes in, the temp fell 20 degrees and started raining, with me in short sleeves.  By the time I got home I could barely walk from shivering.  Down to 38 with a wind chill of 30.  Warming up by another mid-May evening fire.

Gotta love the UP....

Way below average here as well.  All of February and March, just 28" of snow when the average is around 80.  The bitterness is really beginning to set in.
