I know but it's really cutting deep if you're feeling it. If I had the deep pockets, now would be about the time of year I'd set up the QTH at KW and sip Cuban coffee.Quote:

Down to about 27 right now at 3:56 am. Probably will get down to the lower 20's by daybreak. Clear outside now. Hoh tomorrow called for only 37. Then back to the 50's for the remainder of the week. Gonna go back to sleep.
Temps slowly dropping, signalling the end of Autumn and th start of winter, just 3.8 C sunny and dry though..
Interesting past 20 hours.
This time yesterday it was 66º and it looked like it was a nice day. By 1pm the sky turned gray and windy. By 3pm the wind was gusting up to 40mph and the temps dropped by 15º. Sunset the sky was weird with colors from green to red. By 8pm it was violently windy with 50mph gusts and surrounding counties were reporting frozen precipitation without accumulation. Temps were rapidly dropping before settling down to 26º although one station down the road reported 23º.
Currently it is 42º with a clear blue sky and no wind. It might reach 46º by 3pm before the temps try to bottom out again.
The whole sky was lit up as the Sun went down. I missed green and violet but caught the red display.
At this point, based on what time it was, I believe the sun was past the horizon a bit as I got to see some of the actual sunset as I got to see the actual shadow against the trees to the west which face east. I think this was a cold phenomenon where the light from the Sun was being curved around further coloring the light. From what I could read, at this point it was curved up. Earlier, when the color was purple/bluish, it was being bent the other way.

WOW! That's one helluvuh sunset and an antenna in it too! It's the usual autumn sliding into winter here, last night being the first to sink to the freezing mark and it doesn't reach 60F/15C during the day anymore. I've fattened up enough, soon I go into hibernation.
Beautiful sunset Charles. Looks like a Hy-Gain vertical. The sunsets here are purple and orange this time of year. That's different.
Hit 16°F in Poughkeepsie, we're usually 3 to 4 degrees cooler than they are due to distance and altitude. Dropped 18 degrees in two hours overnight. No snow here yet. Odd. Usually we get it before NYC does.
So we probably hit 12°F this AM. (-11°C).
Yeah, I'm in my usual January house clothes.
