Mostly bare here.  95% down? Maybe more.  But the winds still moved a lot out of the woods back onto the road and yard. 

Yeah drifts of leaves on our street lol.

Definitely windier down there. It’s been breezy, but run of the mill up here.

I saw ORH was still gusting over 40. CON hasn’t hit a 30mph since midnight.

Looks like that string of 80s early in the month helped put us at +2.7F for Oct. Never got below 30F. At least the rains returned somewhat...3.66".

Locust fighting back. I must have cut down his brother yesterday. My splitter is on the other side of the limb. Crushed the milk crate I sit on. Thankfully I was out on a run.

Ever hear od Osage Orange? I think that's the hardest wood in the US, for something harder you'd have to go to Africa.

Hophornbeam, hickory, white oak are up there with black locust, but Osage orange is tops, also the premier wood for bow construction and perhaps the weirdest fruit of any American tree.

Power blinked last evening, now gusting 30+ which is decent here in the woods.

October numbers:
Avg max:    58.8   +3.1     Highest:  82 on the 6th.  That eclipses the 80 on 10/9/11 for October's warmest.
Avg min:     35.4   +0.4    Lowest:  25 on the 10th.  The mildest min was 50 on the 20th.

Precip:     3.69"   -1.70"    Wettest:  1.16" on the 8th.  Also had 1.14" on the 31st.

No flakes were observed.

10 of the first 11 days were sunny and the average diurnal range was 31.4°.  The rest of the month had 4 sunny, 6 partly cloudy and 10 cloudy days, with the diurnal range 18.9°.

Everything below that level…

Not last night-it was fine all the way.  However walking after the game last night had roaring winds in the hood.

Man, this place is more of a clique than high school...hilarious. Grown men on a weather forum behaving like 14 year olds.

I forgot about hophorbeam, not a lot of it where I lived, would have loved to have a couple cords back in 2015
