They are pretty adorable little things. I was just at the supermarket one landed on my neck, they were all over the ground and the bushes.

They suck. Invasive bastards that will jump on you for no reason at all. They also love the tree of heaven, which is an invasive plant that outcompetes native plants. I got rid of the tree of heaven in my side yard this spring, and after having tons of lanternflies last year I now have none.

That much snow already made on Whiteface Mtn trails?

What an early morning sky today. The moon instantly caught my eye with the “star” basically adjacent to the moon. I did not initially realize it was Jupiter, thought maybe Mars. You can also sort of see the un-illuminated part of the moon as the brightness of Jupiter is just enough to give an outline (though it’s obviously exaggerated in the photo)

It is an interesting phycological effect with the transition seasons. Funny how we adapt to it as we get deeper into each.

Looks like the MHT sensor shit the bed

Touch of frost on the cars this morning!!  nothing on the grass though

[CoastalWx]

You wonder if these will be the common temperatures all winter.

Sure did. Was standing outside with the dog when I took that picture and it felt like deep autumn and the sky had that late fall/winter crisp clear look. When I was outside last night and the wind was blowing I was thinking to myself, "I am not looking forward to any Arctic snaps where its 10F out with wind whipping"

Actually this is funny. The incorrect temp is coming is as -13.9C/-17.8C which is 7F/0F. And the correct temp is apparently 7C/0C. So something is getting screwed up with the ASOS units setting.

Yesterday had a nice fall feel to it.. in person was so much better.. my phone usually doesnt take great pics!

Only took until now for the wind to start gassing again.

It’s been pretty breezy here all morning since I first went to let the chooks out.

43° and SCT skies. Not sure we hit 55° here today.

We tend to drop 25F on rad nights so I start worrying about freezes imby with highs 55-57°. So the potted plants will have to come in tonight.
