About 1" of rain from the last system.  Foliage is at peak here.  A super peak!  It will all be over by the weekend.

0.80" might call that a good drink if it was bourbon in a glass

56° and the sun is finally winning out. Should creep near 60°. It’s probably a good day to clean out the pellet stove pipe.

Guess it’s time to accept it. 6 months of 40s coming up. 

That’s only if you’re lucky…if you’re not, it will be mid to upper 30’s with mist.

Yes, very muggy warm feel…but no blazing sun to irritate.  That’s what’s great about mid October warmth…sun(even when out lol) lost a lot of its punch.  But we are overcast…but with the warmth.

Last 3 storms with large outages Mass blew Ct away lol. 38 would be a month or 2 power loss for anyone within 5 miles of the ocean

I’m heading out to Sedona for the week. If I wanted boring unchanging weather I could have stayed home lol. The summer monsoon season is over by a couple weeks

The hobbyist wants it desperately but the home owner says “Are you nuts?” I’m about six miles from the ocean fwiw

I’d even argue that amount of time power loss inland too…38 was the real deal.

I met a guy yesterday who was living on Tindell base in Florida who was at ground zero for Hurricane Michael. His stories would make any fool who thinks they want a major Hurricane to hit them directly, think twice. . Sure the vicarious thrill is awesome for us weather geeks but with no home yea that lasts a day then reality hits like a ton of bricks. Folks talk big until they actually have to deal with all the shit.

Certainly would be an epic disaster but the shore between surge and wind would take down substations and large transmission lines.
