Should fall off a cliff by the end of next week.

I don't see much talk about a potential significant weather event for our area.   I pinned Forky's thread.

I was nearly disappointed that we’d missed out this hurricane season.

81 here. I’m savoring every last drop of this.

72 following a high of 77.

76 here. Feels the first warm days of spring.

Already 70 here, should pass yesterday’s 75. Dreamy.

Music to my eyes.

Low of 33.2, lowest temp of the season so far.

I'll never forget the sound of Sandy.  Like a jet engine roaring all day. 

The stuff I saw when I was out in the storm was nuts.  

I rode out the storm near Bald Hill, one of LI’s highest points, and the winds there were violent. Gusts had to have been clearing 100mph, and on a hill with virtually no obstructions the floor was vibrating (concrete foundation). 

Sandy stripping the leaves from the trees, which were still mostly green, is something I can’t forget. The landscape literally went from vibrant to fully barren and salty.

Today’s basically yesterday but with more intermittent cloud cover.

High of 76. Low of 63.

Topped out at 78, down to 74.

Perfect day.

0.10” here today. High of 60, low of 50. Currently 54.

Thought I saw "smoke" along the NJ GSP Ocean to Monmouth counties...

It was very visible here in certain areas, even at night. I smelled it for the entirety of my miles-long drive.

Quite smoky in north central Suffolk tonight.

All this talk of early changing foliage and we seem right on schedule for our usual early November peak.

I recall feeling a 2.-something earthquake located off the Jersey Shore back in 2016. I noticed the clothes hangers swaying back and forth for about 40 seconds. Nothing else moved. Then I saw a tweet from the USGS shortly afterwards.

Off-topic, but any windmill palms, needle palms, or sabal minors? I'm into "zone-pushing" these kinds of plants, actually have several of them in the ground for several years now. Mature needle palms and sabal minors can handle most winters here. I've never needed to protect them, they've been through temperatures as low of 3 degrees completely unprotected, minimal tip burn at worst. Windmills need protection though, I make a wood frame for each of them, which can be a hassle since they're getting big now, and then cover with a tarp. I only cover them below 15 degrees or in a big snowstorm, as the melting and refreezing of the snow can damage the crown. Here's a picture of one of them that I didn't protect after the January 7th snowstorm this past winter. It's a crazy little hobby, but it's pretty cool come winter time. I'm amazed at the amount of cold these plants can tolerate, that plus the snow makes the winter time pretty interesting. If we ever have a month like February 2015 again, I'm sure some wouldn't make it. Still fun to try though!

I have all three (and more) in pots. I had two Sabal minors planted at a relative’s house, one unfortunately succumbed to the drought this summer, the other looked awful but recovered once the rains returned.

Manhattan windmill palms (2019), as you can see the one on the right is deceased:

Tallahassee was at 31 this morning 

Tallahassee has the same all time record low as JFK (-2°F).

I’m praying for any pattern that results in the CONUS being flooded with mild pacific air for all 90 days of winter.

Shift time by 30 minutes instead of an hour and make everyone happy.

These dews feel good. It hasn't even been that long nor is the humidity especially high but I’ve missed it.

0.01” so far today.
