The Mothership has arrived! I'm not a big cloud Guru but this was pretty impressive. Only cloud in the sky at the moment.

Same thing here. And if you watch that play out on satellite you’ll see that develop into a narrow band of clouds that developed and just sat over the area most of the day. If someone can explain the science of that I’d be fascinated to learn. You could see the airflow out of the north but that band never budged.

LOL looks like I should have read first

Question -- if a freeze warning was issued, doesn't that usually mean that the "growing season" is officially over for that county?  Like I know there was a freeze warning for PW few days ago and they have a frost advisory tonight... just think it's a bit strange

I think they have to then declare the growing season as over. It's possible they had a warning but NWS determined it didn't hit it.

Another freeze here 

31

Don't usually drink coffee but this morning I might have to lol . Staying up to 2:30 and getting up at 5:15 is a killer.

Weather looks warm and boring for awhile. Not going to have three below normal temperature November’s in a row. That’s for sure.

So what you’re saying is we should expect a different winter this year than last. And to extrapolate that further, you’re calling for a historic one of a kind winter. Yes!

31 this morning.  I gathered all the frost I could from our cars to make a tiny snowball just in case...

2nd morning this week with low of 36.5 (coldest of the season so far), as sun is now coming up.  Technically, have not reached 32 yet this season IMBY.

36 here this morning with some scattered frost.

[JakkelWx]

35 and frost

Nope. Going to be awhile. One of the latest I can recall probably. 

[midatlanticweather]

32.2 in Purcellville for the low. 

[arlwx]

Close at IAD and BWI but still no cigar.  ((oops, just spotted IAD snuck in a 32 on 31 Oct))

DCA 42

BWI 35

IAD 33

RIC 38

[arlwx]

The GFS currently shows no love for freezinists through 19 Nov.

((so although I didn't spot the contest sooner, I would be on course to be busting bigtime on BWI (31 Oct), RIC (8 Nov) and some for DCA too (15 Nov).))

Warm days this time of year always feel weird. The sun angle isn’t right. 

[WVclimo]

High of 69.9 after a low of 29.9. Pretty ideal Autumn day.

I find that the combo of warmth, low sun angle and leaves still on the trees is weird in November. However 71, low sun angle and no leaves on trees feels totally normal in December.

[mdhokie]

Ever since the snow Sunday night its been in the 60s in western MD. Perfect hiking and biking weather. I agree it feels odd to have warm temps and low sun angle.

Well the tropical connection still remains in place, another high QPF event is set for later next week. 

Several disturbances combined with a robust WAR will lead to extreme rainfall possibilities later next week in the East.  

On a side note, I spoke to some master gardeners and the change in climate here recently,  and set in motion due to high dew points and extreme rainfall events since August 2019 , has interesting outcomes regarding plants and cool season grasses. Many seeds remain dormant until conditions arise and these conditions are happening now. Pao trivialis is one and is appearing in many lawns in my area, mine included,  no way to selectively kill it unless you kill your lawn as well.

Mid 70s is kinda gross for this time of year.

I will probably sweat and get bit by a random mosquito while blowing/mulching leaves.

More like stagnant, under a massive upper ridge lol.

Not dry here, even though it hasn't rained for a week. Long nights, low sun.

Been out removing leaves. Still very foggy.

I revealed the grass under all the leaves, and its nice and green. So is much of my deck lol, after months of above normal rain.

I spy, with my little eye, a CoCoRaHS gauge ....

Yeah that's my reference for the weather station lol. It needs a good cleaning too. Algae and other green junk been having a good time here lately.

No rush to get everything done, since we are in for an extended period of Sept-Oct weather. Eventually we may even see some November weather.

You might need a taller ladder to get up that tree...just a suggestion 

I have one for a nominal fee
