Up the roof tomorrow, checking out the stuff, monday a 60 knot wind expected here, gusting might even be more.
Damn thise autumn storms...

Looks like another 90 degree day, followed by a 65 degree night. Ho-hum.

25 degrees? Really? I blame Canada therefore it's Ted Cruz's fault.

Well past peak foliage here. Had a 10 minute 60-70 MPH burst of wind yesterday morning. Sounded like a train with white sheets of rain falling sideways. Should be in the upper 20s by Monday morning. I hold out hope for a month or two of cold followed by above normal temps in Feb. The locals said the 8 or 10 feet of snow we got last winter was lower than usual. I think we'll get the usual this year. Got snowed in for 3 weeks last winter too.

Clear, sunny and 62°F (17°C) here. You know—another perfect day in San Diego. Yawn.

We went from days in the 70s with nights in the low 60s to days in the 50s and nights in the low 30s.
Varies greatly around here with the rolling hills. The weather station in one part of town might say 40 while 2 miles away it might be 32. If you've ever ridden down the road on a bike or with the windows cracked and felt a sudden change in air temperature then you know what I'm talking about.

I've felt that simply walking through wooded areas. I'll go from higher ground to low ground on a hot day and as I step into the low ground notice a definite change in temperature (cooler).

I've also felt that sudden temperature drop during approaching severe thunderstorms. It's hot and humid and then a hard blast of cold downdraft wind hits you that is much cooler than the surrounding air it's displacing. Of course that could also be a bad sign. That hot air being displaced rises and if the thunderstorm is spinning all hell can break loose.

When I was up in the Adirondacks a couple decades ago I got snowed in for two months until the spring thaw. There was no way in or out. When I retire and head up to the Yukon I expect to be snowed in regularly for the entire winter season which lasts quite long up there. Well, it still beats dodging falling trees in the hurricanes and having to take shelter from the tornadoes down here.

As if this week wasn't active enough, the next couple of days will see Tropical Storm (potentially Hurricane) Karen making landfall on the northern Gulf Coast, a major severe weather outbreak across Iowa and southern Minnesota, and the first major blizzard of the year in the upper Plains.

Just a typical week here in the United States. The blizzard is great news for the ski season.
