Do you have oak barrels to put it in?

Despite radar returns, pretty mellow lines of storms tonight. Looks like best action was West. Temp down to 58/56 with -RA

I got texts from friends asking me if I knew anything about a tornado in Savoy.

Currently 72/62 here. Once we burned the clouds off this morning it blossomed into a stunning fall day.

It was PN/PN+ rates coming down this morning.

Pine needle disaster.

My NWS seven day is 60 or above every day but Monday.

Meanwhile, Wolf Creek and Arapahoe basin planning to open up for skiing this week.

62/60. Gray skies. Cub Scout camping is canceled tonight due to thunderstorm threat. Bummer.

Yeah, we generally only see those type of departures Christmas week.

Lol, 62/60 at close to midnight on Oct 15th.

Camping with the Cub Scouts tomorrow night. Should I prepare for damaging winds?

As far as New England goes, I love Portland ME but man they have a short summer and dreary spring.

As I got older I realized I don't want my property damaged and I don't need anymore injuries in life. ie slipping on ice etc.

Don't forget, only first two weeks of Feb are winter due to increasing sun angle.

This weather is fantastic and it has been a blessing to all of the restaurants with outdoor seating. Nice extended season to put a little money in the coffers before winter.

Bitcoin at 60k this morning. Once the FOMO bandwagon starts rolling, barring any black swans, it’s going to 80k, probably by Turkey Day. Thereafter I would anticipate a sizable pull back around the Holidays.

I thought maybe you lived in a barn, based on that much wood but realized my house is only 1500sf and we burn about 2 or so to heat, so the math works out.

As of now I'm in.

This is what’s going on in the Northeast and perhaps on the West Coast. I had a kid late in life but I know a lot of people my age you have their 20 something kids back at home living with them as a family unit. This allows them to only work part time and be more particular with what jobs they take. I also know younger folks who are becoming more creative with how they share house in apartment space to help reduce the rent. My neighbor is a sergeant on the Greenfield PD and he said they are having a terrible time finding officers to do traffic details. Even at the stunning hourly rates for details he said a lot of the younger cops are just not interested because, they are already happy with the amount of money they’re making and their lifestyle. I guess I don’t blame them. Anyway, he said they are begging retired officers around here to come back to part time detail duty because the situation is so bad.

Our cherry tomatoes in containers are still putting out fruit.

yeah, I'm camping with the Cub Scouts Sat night. Kev says we may get severe...

OK thanks. I wish we had another official site in central Franklin County. Orange is pretty much the very eastern edge of the county. So no official sites W to E between Orange and North Adams and then nothing N to S between Keane and Westfield.

Yup, 52 here for low. Not sure what average is for this area this time of year.

ya' except for a coastal out in la la land pretty dry on the GFS
