Some photos from the New York Botanical Garden on a sunny but chilly October day. The hummingbird migration appears to be completed.

Beautiful pink asters. A great native fall perennial that should be used in place of non native mums.

34 at KFOK already. Forecast low of 35, likely makes it to the upper 20s in the pine barrens.

October is AN precip wise here. Coming dry weeks will reverse rapidly.

Looks like a fairly average temperature pattern over the next 5-10 days. As the historic El Niño continues to intensify, the ridge axis is forecast to shift closer to our area. So the core of the warmth which has been to our west in early fall is forecast to shift east from late October into early November.

Good morning Don. Ironically the name of the rose, at least the J&P version, is Chicago Peace. When I was young it was considered one of the most beautiful ever developed. As always ….
