Boring weather. Cool morning, got up to 72. Had a fire drill at 11 and it was shockingly warm.

I wonder what the record is for consecutive days with the same high temp?  Not complaining, great hoodie weather.

Most spots across the area saw between 0.10" to 0.22" of rain last evening through the overnight hours. With that frontal passage last night, we will turn back to below normal temperatures for much of the rest of the week and likely to finish the month of October. This means we will probably finish October with below normal temperatures. This would be our 5th below normal temperature month over the 1st 10 months of 2025. Our valley locations will likely see another freeze each morning between Friday and Sunday. The higher ridge spots (above 600 feet ASL) will likely see no more than some patchy frost and continue their growing (freeze free) season into November. The growing season has ended for most valley locations across our area. We look dry for at least the next week.

I mean, I really do understand. And I sympathize especially with people that suffer from seasonal depression. For me, the onset of longer nights symbolizes the beginning of the holidays and our "snow season." Also helps me transition from lightweight athletic shorts to something more appropriate for the season...lightweight athletic shorts. (with a light hoodie)

I'm a weird bird in that I love the holidays, I've even come to love Halloween since having a child and have always loved fall/winter (even though I am starting to become a bit of a warminista) but hate the darkness. 

 

If we could have 20 hours of sunshine and a dry cold from November 1 - March 15, I'd consider that a jackpot.

I'd happily go back to Iceland in winter where they get 5 hours of daylight. I think in late November when I went last year daylight was 10:45am to 345pm

I think the last 5 years have been about as boring as possible in these parts. Especially the last 2-3 years. I keep thinking, incorrectly, that it can't last that much longer. We are on the verge of losing a whole generation of weineies around these parts due to it.

Yeah people complain about the weather no matter where they live but ours really is so benign compared to most regions. I’ve always thought we live in a top-notch weather location. I love it here.
