dailylurker Posted Thursday at 07:38 PM Share Posted Thursday at 07:38 PM I decided to take the day off and hike up Sugar Loaf Mountain. What's with the hazyness today? Low lever moisture? Wildfire smoke? Chem trails? It really limited the view and dulled the fall color. It was still a beautiful hike. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pic actually look great and fairly clear. We have had a slight wind today which has cleared some of the smog (from camp fires, cars, etc...under this "oppressive" high pressure.) This Am it was like a Canada Wildfire day but better now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like HGR will end up with a top 20 warmest Oct (58.4 Mean as of yesterday) but they had one day with what I remember to be severe related qpf so not near any monthly records at 2.33" total.

87storms Posted Friday at 12:18 PM Share Posted Friday at 12:18 PM Woke up to a thunderstorm in Henderson, NV. Why did I have to come here for weather? I'm in a state of disbelief at the stretch of weather back east. Has it rained there the past 2 weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arctic blue sky, perfect temps, no rain. It's not that dry. The trails i hike in the woods are moist like they usually are from November to May. The shorter days and low sun angle doesn't dry things out. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted Saturday at 10:29 AM Share Posted Saturday at 10:29 AM No freeze yet or in sight here in the lowlands. Grass is green, flowers are thriving. I wonder if I see a freeze before I leave the tropics on Dec 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have been below freezing twice and had frost for a week straight. It's odd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
