The darn wind woke me up around 4 am. Hopefully my trash cans are not currently in the river!

If they are in the river, Hopefully Your good neighbor Canderson downstream from you could retrieve them for you.

Low of 50. Winds were howling overnight. Should be some nice squalls around today. I got a final mow and a bunch of yard cleanup in yesterday. Ready for winter, despite some mild spells looking to take hold over the next few weeks.

IMAGE #2 shows the 850mb temperatures (approx 1 miles above ground) … this is essentially the basic guide for used in determining snow versus rain during the winter months. and you can see how this is really cold air which is delineated by the -10C at 8:50mb with a yellow line it plunges dramatically Southward during Thanksgiving weekend.
