Looks like it's not going to get above 90 for the next 10 days or so.....nice

From the NWS:

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

SOME FROST WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS WEEKEND...ESPECIALLY ACROSS

CENTRAL LOWER MICHIGAN.

Frost in mid-September--that's early even for Michigan.

 
Fourth day straight of rain here. A "monsoon trough" is parked over us, feeding moisture into a baby tropical cylcone to our north. I like rain and dark weather, but the daily cycle has been such that it is always raining hardest at the end of work, so I haven't been able to run all week. :(

 
The rest of the week and weekend here in NJ will be in the mid 70's to mid 80's and clear.

Now if I just had the time to go fishing....

Well, I lost the over-under bet with my wife on when we would get the first frost. I woke up around 6 this morning, it was 32. And from looking at the lawn outside you could see we had the makings of a light frost last night.

It's about 36 now, and for some reason it feels really nice having the windows open right now. Cleaning the house works up a sweat.

 
we had an inch of snow this morning, it is gorgeous out there! I took my wife and daughter up to Arapahoe Basin for some skiing, they had 6" new there. I'm waiting until next week to strap on the planks though, this early season sticky snow is scary for my post-op knee!

 
I'm really missing the snow right now. I've been having some guilty fantasies about taking a little trip home to Colorado, without the wife and kids, just to see the snow and maybe even get a chance to ski. Although, I'm not sure I remember how anymore - it's been maybe 14 years since I last skied. I wonder if it's anything like riding a bike?

 
This morning, as I was eating my breakfast, I could see a rainstorm approaching our island that was dark as I have ever seen a cloud to be. Not black, but a very dark grey-blue. It passed over pretty quickly. But right now, there is another one moving over us and I swear, it is as dark as late evening outside. The streetlights across from my office have all turned on, and the rain is coming down on my window like we're inside a car wash. Cool stuff!

The advent of shaped skis has made it easier to ski than ever, you just roll your ankles to initiate a turn, and the edge contact is phenomenal.

Then you get an upclose meeting of the snow (if you are a down south redneck like me)

 
I was at the beach last Monday and it was a little too warm, in the 90's. It's a little cooler now, but I'm still expecting at least one more beach day this year.

 
^^^ The weather has finally started to begin like autumn here in Florida. I woke up to a nice temp of 59F and a slight breeze. For me that is absolutely perfect but most seem to be grabbing jackets - heavy winter jackets. :true:

Hang on Sapper - not much longer! :)

37 F with fog slowly burning off here this morning. I brought a windbreaker which I just tossed in the car in case I had to do anything more prolonged this morning than walking from the parking lot to the office.

The weather suddenly cooling off here has made outdoor exercise interesting. It was about 45 when I went running the other day and all the fluid in my knees was turning to slush. Not used to the cold yet.

 
DUCK AND COVER!!!!

We've had strong winds and a couple tornado's tearing ass through Louisville for about an hour now. The first storm has passed but another ones supposed to hit around 11pm to midnight.

 
Pensacola got tore up this afternoon - according to press releases a twister touched down and lasted for almost 40 minutes :wacko:

We are under tornado watch here in Madison. I am on the 4th floor and the wind scares me a lot. It is going to be a long fudging night. Just what I needed.
