39 here.

Freeze Watch switched to a Frost Advisory for Suffolk County. I’ll still be keeping a watchful eye on the temps tonight.

Hard to believe I had a 74° dew point just 8 days ago, and frost this morning.

First frost @ 33 here, lower than every forecast, TWC had me at 40.

50 in Brooklyn, 42 at home.

These back-loaded winters have really begun to get old, the cold/snowy March pattern especially.

Bottomed out at 40, currently 43.

Cold has been over performing at night, forecast was 45/46.

Bottomed out at 41, a bit too early for me coming off of an extended stretch of AN temps. Hasn't been this cold since April 24th, which had a low of 37.

Temps have already rebounded into the mid 50’s though.

48 here with light rain (gross).

Coldest temp since May 9th, 158 days ago.

Holy! Did you see the new UKMET?

It shows the most anomalously cold air on the planet located over the eastern USA during winter 2018-19, a big time trend compared to the previous run.

Every model is pointing to a cold and snowy winter for the east. Hopefully it stays like that.

It seems as though this is usually the case, I hope it changes.

But regardless of however this winter turns out, I just want a warm March afterwards, we haven’t had one in ages.

-15F on 1/7 and 93F on 6/18 for a 108-degree range here.

That is insane.

2.34” for this event, more than I was expecting.

If it would’ve gotten that cold here I would’ve achieved a 100+ degree temperature spread this year.

Low: 1.5° (Jan 7th)

High: 99.3° (July 1st)

97.8° difference.

i am so ready for fall.. i am  tired of warm sunshine into mid october already....

Sunshine? I wish lol.

74/73 here. It’d be nice if we had some sun.

0.43” fell earlier.

Low of 70 here this morning, it may not last the whole day, but it’s still impressive for mid October.

What is the significance of 157mph if wind speeds are measured in increments of 5mph? At 155mph just call it a Cat 5 imo.

The Crepe Myrtles here along the GSB are doing great. There is a red one that is still in full bloom. Didn't notice any damage following February 2015 or the near 0 on Valentine's Day 2016. Some were growing so fast that they were blocking the sidewalk. So the landscapers had to trim them back a bit.

Me either, delayed leaf-outs at most, but not killed to the ground. There’s quite a few mature 20-30 foot Crepe Myrtles peppered around the island.

I can’t believe it’s actually sunny right now.

64/64.

My Crepe Myrtle died last winter. That cold snap where we hit -4 killed it. Local nursery told me that many died on the island. 

I’m surprised it didn’t sprout back from the roots, I didn’t know they could be killed outright here. I haven’t noticed any dead ones near me, but it didn’t get as cold over here.

My ultimate low was +2, same as ISP, that morning was weird, I was surrounded by negative temperatures on 3 sides (according to WU) but managed to stay above zero.

80/73 and sunny now.

75/71 here, the sun has yet to make an appearance today.

You know it’s been warm when the Crape Myrtles still have flowers on them, albeit not as much as they have in the summer.

It’s difficult to imagine them being bare in a little over a month’s time.

Calgary Just Had Its Snowiest Day in More Than Three Decades and Broke an October Snowfall Record

Yesterday was #Calgary's 7th snowiest day since records began in 1881.pic.twitter.com/cR93q4D7nM

9:11 AM - 3 Oct 2018

             

 

 

 

 

And only 12.9” fell. I never would’ve suspected that their records would pale in comparison to ours, as cold as it is there. Calgary is about as cold as Daytona Beach is warm, in relation to our climate.

79 here today with blue dome skies. 0.82” with last night’s event + hours of lightning. I literally couldn’t ask for better October weather.
