This September has felt like most of the Summer, sans rain.
Last year the trees here didn't start to change colour till late December and it wasn't till well into January that they were down from the trees. Even the 150+ mph winds and tornadoes from Sandy couldn't budge the leaves. This year the trees are losing their leaves fast. I suspect we'll be seeing our first snowstorm very soon.
I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
The june, july and august hot temps and drought let the leaves turn brown and yellow in the first days of September, 2 months earlier.
Can't say a thing about winter, all the big shots expect a colder as normal winter in europe, but that long range forecasting is mostly doubtfull at best.
I prepared for the winter, did the garden, antenná's satellite dish and motor, prepped the car bought 40 liters kerosine for the kerosine lamps and the stove.
Have road salt for my garden path, and the rest we'll have to see...

40 litres of kerosene... that probably broke the bank!!
Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.
Nope, for heating the low tax tariff applies 2 x 20 liter tanks are 50 euro or just under 70 Bucks.
Specially extra low sulphur and low aromatic kerosene you can't smell the lamps or stove burning, ideal for in the house.

Maybe a week or so from peak right now. Nearly 1/2 of the foliage has changed. Temps in the 80s all week and no rain for about two weeks - very unusual. Hasn't happened for at least two years. Get the feeling that this is the calm before the storm?

Days in the 80s and nights in the low 60s upper 50s.

AH CHADAAAP! We had enough of that chit from the 22nd to the 31st a year ago so keep your feelings to yourself... peas?
