I’m not ready. At least the smoke is gone. For a while they were calling for -3.

We were first forecast at 3°...they've bumped it up to 11° now.

We are having thundersnow now. Already got a few inches of snow on Tuesday that is still on the ground.

Highs this week are about 90! I wish we had some of that.. we will get some next week!

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise" - Barry Goldwater

Looks like we're going to stay on the warmish/seasonal side of this bubble. Lows no worse than the mid-30s through next week.

We were surprised by a heavy snowstorm in Minneapolis on Tuesday, but temps are hovering just above freezing so it’s not terribly cold. I left a 100’ vinyl hose out and now it may be difficult to coil for winter storage.

I've still got yard work to do! Ok, to be fair, I always have yard work to do. Luckily, like Acer, we'll be on the positive side of freezing for a while. Hopefully a longer while, as I've still got yard work to do (but I'm here posting).

All I got is 7° on Tuesday. And several days it’ll get a degree or two above freezing out of the next 10. I predict our snow will be gone before Halloween or shortly thereafter, and it will only stick around that long because we are getting snow on three different days between now and then.

Saint Cloud, Minnesota, where the weather is wonderful even when it isn't.

I'll think about you when I'm in my pool this weekend.

Snow before Halloween is such a bummer! We've had that a few times in recent years. It has been kind of chilly here the past week; I say that b/c we went from high 80s to 40s...today we're back up to 80s, and back down to 40s and and colder starting tomorrow, and chance of snow in the forecast for next week. Here in the KC area (or Midwest) we say...if you don't like the weather, wait 10 minutes, it'll change!

Would be great if we had what felt like an actual fall instead of these wild swings.

...or some rain.

The radio is talking about another round of critical fire danger.

I don't know if we can say it every stopped.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.
