Watch this be another October where we alternate between 80 degree torches and fall weather.

Low 60 and pleasantly dry DP 52.

First day my DP has gone below 60 since Sept 22.

The decreasing mosquitos part of this would be welcome.

Beautiful evening. 63/51

Nearly all the mesonet stations have reached the 40s. 47.6 IMBY

[Herb@MAWS]

51 here so far. On a morning like this I’d expect another 1-3 degrees will be lost in the next hour before recovering. 

[nj2va]

52 for the low.

Berlin was 61° for a low. The lone station in the 60s. Clarksville was just one degree warmer than Bittinger.

That Clarksville site is a really good radiator.  Wonder if the new Lisbon location will be similar.

Not sure. Thurmont and Westminster are wide open and mix well. I'm excited to see what data we get from there!

Did you guys up north of me notice a massive drop-off in ticks during the dry spell? There were armies of ticks everywhere during the 2 months of Florida soup and over the last 4-6 weeks it's almost like they disappeared. Haven't seen a single one on our dog in a month after being a tick magnet for the 2 previous. We treat him but the ticks still get all over him before dying. Not a single one in weeks seems really odd. Of course I hope every tick on the planet dies yesterday but this cycle seems weird

I haven’t seen one up here since July. I'm always out in the bush so I'm a good meter.
