Bluest sky in a long time.

A little sad how long the shadows are at 5:15pm though. Feels like this was the scene an hour later up here back in July.

It was a top 5 wx event . For an extreme wx fanatic like me .. I love for it. As boring as it’s been the last 5-10 years . It’s all we’ve got. 
 

Did the sound play on the strike?

I haven’t weighed in on the great debate and I love summer, but the dog days are over and the step down is here. Still summer…but you know what’s coming next. 

Days and days of above average temps mixed with rain, mist and fog until mid April? I can’t friggin wait man.

If it’s anything like the first half of last fall, I’m all for it. The winters just aren’t what they used to be around here (at least on the coastal plain) and by mid January, I’m usually thinking of much brighter skies and greener pastures! We really gotta do away with the whole daylight savings bs imo..that would really take a huge sting off of things.
