My numbers for the month of October 2025. Averaged high was 66.1 degrees vs a normal of 66.9 degrees, -0.8 degrees below average. The warmest day was the 7th with a 79.4 degree reading. Averaged low for the month was 41.5 degrees vs a normal of 41.5 degrees, a perfect match. The coldest temp recorded was 29.0 degrees on the 26th. Overall averaged temp was 53.8 degrees vs a normal of 54.2 degrees, -0.4 degrees below average. Total rainfall was 2.19 inches vs a normal of 2.70 inches, -0.51 inches below average. The wettest day was the 30th with 0.93 inches falling. There were 8 days with measurable, 3 days with a 'T' and 20 dry days. Highest wind recorded was on the 20th at 38 mph. No new records for the month. Overall, a fairly average October. Rainfall barely broke into 80 percent of average, only because 82% of the 2.19 inches fell on two days, the 8th and 30th, rest of month was quite dry.

Already took care of the 'first flakes' but had to do it up at 'Shoe on Friday.

This will be ugly, completely forgot! DCA: -2.2 NYC: -3.0 BOS: -2.7 ORD: -3.3 ATL: -1.5 IAH: -0.4 DEN: +0.5 PHX: +0.8 SEA: +2.1

Looking at cams up at 'Shoe, looks like they've already changed over.

Doesn't he do that most winters?

Currently 54.8/42.0 here with mostly cloudy skies at 4 pm, which is the high so far. Sun has poked out a couple times and it has become breezy from WSW, currently 11 gusting to 23mph.

0.23" in gauge from 7am, making total 1.16" as of this moment. After the past two months, I'll consider it a win.

Headed to Cass, WV to ride the train tomorrow morning, stepsisters B-day and she wanted to ride the train and see leaf color, lol. Doing the one along the river (hoping for that bit of remaining color) but with the forecast DEFINITELY riding up to 'Shoe after to see the first snows of the season!

Daily for today, October 30th, sorry. I have kept records since October 1979.

0.93" here, not a daily record, that still stands at 1.10" from 2020. Nice to see many areas finally getting a decent amount of water from the sky. Woke up around 4 am, might have been a clap of thunder?

Looks like somewhere between 0.33-0.40 in the gauge eyeballing it with a flashlight from living room window. A steady rain falling since 5 pm or so. Currently 46.2/45.4 degrees at 10:35 pm.

We had a guy at work that made awesome squirrel gravy and biscuits.

First sub 50 high here, 49.4 degrees and it felt a good bit chillier with that E/NE breeze. Currently 46.6/37.0 at 7:20 pm.

Dec 2018 re-do?

Just built first fire of the season. A cloudy and cool day with light E/NE breezes making it feel a bit cooler than the current 51.0/41.2 at 2 pm.

Last three days highs, 60, 56 and 57 yesterday. Next 7 days the forecast highs are between 49 and 56 and lows 36-40 with at least a chance of rain 5 of those 7, yep fall is here. Probably fire up the woodstove Monday or Tuesday for the first time.

29.6 for the low here, first time into the 20's this season.

2nd (barely) freeze of the season here, 31.4 low. Currently 32.0/30.7 at 8 am.

Yep, BUT figuring out how to win being down 10 with 8-9 minutes left in the game does say something. I KNEW there was no way UVA was gonna cover a 17 point spread lol. If you are/were a betting person that was an EASY pick, to not cover. Wa ST isn't a bad team, I can see them going 7-5 and bowling with their remaining schedule, heck they almost pulled off a win at then #4 Ol Miss the week before.

First freezing temp of the season here this morning (barely), low was 31.6 degrees. Currently 31.8/31.1 with mostly clear skies.

35.3 for a low here, bit of frost but just down the road nearer the river a heavy, heavy frost. I'd say growing season is done although we pulled everything last weekend.

Can beat that, a 'T', not even enough to wet objects down here for the 'event' total.

Never give up, never surrender!

FINALLY broke out of the fog/haze about an hour ago. Temp up to 58.0/48.1 and up 10 degrees in past hour at 1:15 pm.

Fog and 40.2/39.3 this morning after a 39.2 degree low. High was only 55.8 degrees yesterday with clouds and NE to SE breezes, not a record 'warm minimum' (goes to 1979's 53) but did just eek out the 56 from 1993 for second lowest.
