Last night was our first chance to sleep with the window open so far this year, and it was wonderful

It has been dry here all year. Yesterday and last night, we had a nice soaking rain.

We are finally having weather that feels like fall. We’ve had some cooler days, but nothing sustained, and this won’t be either.

I glanced at the weather during the commercials last night while watching the Phillies game and saw a frost advisory was active. I brought the hibiscus into the garage.

Here it is, early October, and after yesterday’s eighty degree high, we slept with the bedroom window open.

Today started out sunny, but it turned into a good old-fashioned rainy, fall-like day. There was a nice steady rain this afternoon.

This week is the complete opposite of the weather last week. I glanced at the NWS forecast this morning and it’s the first time I’ve seen snow in the forecast this fall.

After the recent very mild period, a cold front moved through. We’re back into the more normal fifties range for the high temperatures, instead of the seventies.

It is November and I have the window open. The temperature is pushing 70℉.

This autumn, the leaves around Mount joy are seemingly more colorful than usual. They are much more vivid than I have seen them in this area since I’ve lived here.

We were leaving the grocery store near sunset this evening and I noticed some cumulus clouds off to the northwest. I also noted some virga under it. That was probably snow flurries

Finally we are getting our first freeze here in early November. Our flowers have been thrilled with the warm fall but that’s over now.

Finally the cooler fall like weather has arrived. The low this morning dipped into the 40s for the first time since last spring.

It’s pretty windy tonight I am hearing the occasional gust outside. It’s really reminding me of going to the mountains growing up. I’d often hear the wind blowing at night during the fall and hunting season

We had a pretty good thunderstorm last night. Being in the middle of the night in the middle of November I was really impressed with it since conditions are not great for thunderstorms here in the fall.

Every fall I think of how since I moved to Mount Joy, the leaves are not nearly as vivid as they were where I grew up. I’ve always been curious why that is, too.

October 2007 was the warmest October on record. I am certain that I will be seeing this much more often as my life goes on.
