5 weeks from now…we don’t know what pattern may be?  And it just takes one night.  Odds become greater with every passing day bro.

Yeah. Upton pretty much just canceled all the the frost warnings for the coast here in CT...

Frost coverage at the coast, where the growing season remains in effect, looks to be patchy at this time.

Too early/prerequisite challenged ... but indian summer like.  

The trick will be, 'does the anticyclone get under our latitude?'  Since mid to late August actually, these powerhouse high pressure nodes have been moving either bodily overhead of E thru Ontario, placing us persistently in a highly uncoupled lower troposphere relative to mid level soundings. 

We've been getting frost if not freezes under 576 dm heights - anomalous combination of metrics.   Very much so...  We've had hyper proficient RAD events as of late, which is an interesting met phenomenon probably under the nose of most people's awareness.  It feels like we're getting a normal autumn progression - though with modest positive biases, but it's kind of been lying?  so to speak.  

27 F under while this; is just another example in many

You can say it’s been fake .. because it has

Ha!   

well I'm not part of that fake stuff.   Temperature is temperature...   

I'm more focusing in on the unusual nature in which we're getting a sensible autumn out of a deep summer sky - to put it somewhat poetically.   This morning the hgts are/were 582 dm ... 27 at the surface.   It's been happening a lot since late summer, too.  Maybe not that extreme but it's been unbalanced on the whole. 

If that's coincident with some discussion point than it's unintended.

Oddly satisfying way of explaining it, ha.

23F to 65F today at MVL locally.

That’s how you do an October day.

[Brewbeer]

sun is going down and so is the temp, 59/39

antique honda is back in the garage, here are the money shots:

it's a touch darker than the original, there's some orange peel and some of the new-to-old-transitions are visible but all-in-all not bad for bondo

There’s more leaves left on trees now than before the Oct 2011 snowpocalypse. By a significant amount
