mjwise Posted Tuesday at 06:42 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:42 PM We're up to 9 10 consecutive days with measurable precipitation in DeKalb. Makes it difficult to mow the lawn that sprang back to life... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted Tuesday at 06:55 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:55 PM 0.06 here from some passing light showers. Benign pattern going forward so should dry out over the next 7-10 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of spoiled growing up on the East Coast with the heavy tree cover and only an hour from Shenandoah National Park and Skyline Drive. Where are you located now?

Plenty of trees/woodlands here in MI! The color show will be great. Corn fields are definitely an important aspect of the autumn harvest however. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since there's basically no elevation difference, a nearby Great Lake, or other influences. I've had 5.12" in the past six days and you are super dry. Yes it is. It really shows up in winter where the snow/rain cutoff can be brutal, especially for me lol. I've seen in just kitchen sink and could literally drive 2 or 3 miles N and there's 4 or 5 inches. I have my own theory as to my the main E/W trail through history basically follows the I70/US40 corridor through the Great Lakes/OH Valley from the NE and East Atlantic. It being due to roughly that line being the average storm track line making more winter treks (although muddy) possible out of some of the larger Eastern cities. My own stupid theory but it kind of makes sense to me lol. Of course its also the southern end of the last glacial extension so theres that. I ramble, it's early lol . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted yesterday at 10:23 AM Share Posted yesterday at 10:23 AM I've had some Fall work to start getting ready for Winter to do outside, shoring up the roof over the little barn, some fence repair to keep Goat and Donkey from raiding the neighbors (and they would lol) etc. Having to cram it in before another trip to Florida next month. I can attest it feels like fall out. I don't think I've ever mowed with a coat, gloves and winter hat on before. Maybe its just because it went from 87 to 50 in a day lol. Its a bit windy, that's not helping. And now we have cold "wet air" this morning. Its not really foggy or drizzle per se. Its just wet. Like a cold body shower lol. It's phreakin cold with the breeze I know that. Looks to stick around for another week, albeit a little warmer (70 maybe) and maybe some sun. I'll take every minute of that stuff. Top tier climo for the next week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted yesterday at 01:10 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:10 PM While south and west of me has been very wet, I'm now in the midst of a incredibly dry period for this time of year with no precip for a solid week at least. A 1039mb high is analyzed over QC (Quebec) currently which is nuts, just a monster ridge giving us the blue skies. A preview a things to come up there in Hudson/Northern ON/QC. It was getting far too cloudy last week so this is relief but its getting chilly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted yesterday at 02:37 PM Share Posted yesterday at 02:37 PM Another chilly morning with 30's inland (40's shore). Around 60 again today. Slightly warmer temps with some rain chances coming up for the rest of the week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago It has been incredibly cloudy over the last two weeks. Des Moines has had its cloudiest September since 1986. Yesterday was expected to be our only sunny day of the week, but it was mostly cloudy again. The next week also looks very cloudy as we get a stream of moisture from the sw US. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early start to winter blues. Always the negative part of the colder months. Lots of cloudy, overcast wx. For it to start in Sept is a real bummer.

Brian D Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Much needed rains over MN right now. Chilly across NE MN again with 30's n 40's. But, the avg temps are steadily dropping each day, so these readings are a little closer to avg now. DLH 64/44, Hibbing 62/37, I-Falls 63/39 as of today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
