    Don't worry about getting rain next week, I am on vacation and planned on cutting firewood for the winter (16 dead trees standing, 75% ash), so rain is basically guaranteed!!

    RIC sits in a pretty good cooling spot, they can hit a freeze pretty early some years when others around don't.

    Well, A-basin opened over the weekend, son is a happy camper!

    LOL!! That is a great pic! Any video to go with it by chance?

    Nice!

    I have noticed since the temps dropped last Friday that the trees stopped dropping leaves, just goes to show it WAS heat/drought stress.

    This event is what got me to keeping a diary/record of the weather, so my records are 40 years old today! That was an awesome night/day!

    Bit foggy here this am and just under 50. Yesterday the sky cleared to a super fall afternoon with temp just touching 70. I knew fall was out there somewhere while suffering through last week.......

    Another 0.63 to go with yesterday 0.64, a nice two day 1.27" total that actually had a chance to soak into the ground rather than immediately runoff to ditches and creeks. A rather raw day with NE breezes....I like! Stayed under 55 degrees all day/night. Currently 51.3/49.9.

    Yep, know the feeling. I replanted the 'dead' areas from this springs planting and had been watering since Friday when it cooled off. Hoping to see some green today/tomorrow. I've climbed Quandary, BTW, in CO. lol

    FINALLY!!! A nice steady light rain/drizzle that started around noon yesterday and continues currently! 0.64" at 7 am CoCoRaHS reading, another looks like approx 0.05" since and I'll take EVERY drop. Currently 53.7/53.0

    First sub 60 degree high here! Currently 54.0/52.5, high was 58.1 and low was 49.3. This makes up about 5% for the disastrous heat from Wednesday and Thursday.

    Just be glad, those on the other side of that BDCF. I SHATTERED the record set today (90.4) for tomorrow am. 93.3 degrees! In OCTOBER!! I'd had 1 90 degree reading in 39 years of observations in October, and then pull a back to back this year, nuts! I hope we go to zero in 3 weeks to make up for this silliness! Edit, oh and BTW, Roanoke-99 Lynchburg-98, Danville-98, Blacksburg-94

    Welp, shattered the daily and set a new monthly record high temp here yesterday with a 90.4 degree reading! Old daily was 85 degrees from 2002, monthly was 90.1 from 10/9/2007. One more horrible day then fall MAYBE decides to stick around a while. Only second time I've recorded a 90+ in October, today may be the third!!! Nuts! Records go back to 1980.

    Seeing a lot more reds yesterday and today around here to go with the yellowish tinged brown from the trees stressed to the max from the dryness. Not sure how they managed to make color but I'll take it! Least in my yard, I'd estimate 40-50% of leaves are off the trees already from falling early/heat/dryness/stress. I've been on leaf detail since Labor Day! On the plus side (for the animals) it is a BANNER year for acorns and other tree nuts, I got up a couple trillion when I cleaned the yard Tuesday.

    By the end of Sept we could see flames on the ground.....
  21. wxdude64
    We always hooked ours into the soffit under the eaves on the back of the house, near a window so we could watch. About 20 foot off the ground, no problems from animals, but bees LOVED them. They drained one in about 2 hours one day, you couldn't see the container from the mass of bees on it.

    Yeah, ya'll got blanked the rest of the winter basically. I had a few more snows and finished right at 35" for the year, about 8 inches above normal.
  24. wxdude64
    Same here. Getting ready for work calling for 3-5, they (NWS) upped it on forecast to 6-10 as I left the house at 7 am. Got home that night (after an hour + drive that normally is 10 minutes) after 8 pm to 20.5"!

    LOL, I like your thinking. Sure, let us have another early Jan 96 redo!
