Our Morning Coffee and Weather

[Hatchdog]

We enjoy tracking the sun too but the direction it takes this time of the year isn’t as pleasant as in the spring.

54 this morning, warmer due to some rain that finally fell last night. Laying in bed I could hear it and it put a smile on my face. A break today and more rain tonight and tomorrow. Hope so, I plan to do some mowing of non irrigated areas on Thursday. I wait for rain so it’s not so dusty.

Today the rain break works wonderfully for me as I plan to hit the golf course.

Good morning, 60° earlier, 72° now and headed towards the upper 80's.

51', cloudy and not raining this morning. 65' and more rain expected this afternoon and at least through Thursday. We've gotten enough rain now that fall burn season should open up tomorrow (Oct 1 - Dec 15).

Same here, it's moving toward a higher hillside so we get even less sunlight. By Winter solstice we only get a few hours of direct sunshine.

once again today's weather word has been rain .... not heavy but certainly steady .... 71 at 1PM with it only anticipated to rise another degree later this afternoon .... the radar shows clouds are moving out and the forecast doesn't call for any more rain until this time next week .... on the positive side, this front that is pulling out seems to be bringing a streak of 70 degree days with it

Finished getting the firewood in. In the last 9 minutes of moving the remaining pieces of wood they got very wet. We'll likely get a few warm October days, so those last arm loads will dry out by the time the heating season starts.

Fair, 61°F, Humidity 100%
Wind Speed Calm
Barometer 30.14 in
Dewpoint 61°F
Visibility 10.00 mi
Mostly sunny, with a high near 82.
Southeast wind 5 to 10 mph.
Another bonus Summer day in the Fall. I'm taking full advantage and getting
things done while it's still warm. I'll wash more windows today and work on
getting the tractor snow blower ready.
Then Gun Club and beer and wings after.

51' and cloudy. Maybe 64' later and some rain. Early part of next week supposed to clear off and get into the 70's.

49 and what looks like to be a sunny day, at least to start. Possible scattered thunderstorms this afternoon. We received a little bit of rain again last night. The concrete is dry now so it wasn’t much but we’ll take every drop we can get. Stats for September is another month with below average rain. Only month in 2025 that was above or even on average was February.

The extended forecast is for several days of sunshine with lows in the upper 30’s and high’s in the 60’s. We thinking about heading up the the property for 4-5 days and enjoying some wonderful fall weather. With the fire I’m sure we will not be able to take the UTV up on the timber company land. But I have lots of maintenance to do so that could keep me busy but Mrs hatchdog may get bored. We’ll see.

Mags, that’s an impressive stack of good looking firewood. I’m with envy….

this first Wednesday in October has gotten off to a much stronger Fallish start with a cool crisp feeling .... 71 at noon with a forecasted high of 76 followed by the temp dropping to an overnight low of 53 .... had to take a vehicle to a local repair shop this morning .... seems like we are having to do that all too often .... nothing major on tap for the rest of today

Thanks, and I'd guess you have as much if not more. Seems I remember you have more lateral space to spread out your stacks.

Light and variable wind becoming south southwest 5 to 10 mph in the morning.
At the gun club last evening the Gnats were terrible so I didn't stay outside long.
Today we have a lunch date with our youngest daughter. We don't see the kids much.

Not this year, I’m going to come up short. However the next few years are looking good with what I have on hand to cut and split. Took delivery of two more large trees yesterday. Plan is to start cutting on Saturday but it will be too wet to burn this year.

Could use a fire, woke up to a cool foggy morning. 48 but with the fog it feels colder. Here in a minute I’m going out to play in it, we got more rain last night and I’m going to mow the dry areas around which are now nice and wet. Later today it’s supposed to get sunny which will continue into next week but with more fall like temps. Looking forward to it.

51' and raining this morning. 65' with rain continuing expected for the rest of the day. Maybe clear up Sunday for a few days, then more rain.
In the past with the amount of rain we've had burn season would open Oct 1. But the notification made in June is still active and says we're still under severe conditions and burning season is closed. I think someone at TVFR forgot about what's posted on their website and automated phone system.

while this morning's weather was beautiful, Oct 2nd got off to a miserable start .... with the temp in the upper 40's and an 11 mph wind I had to move away from shorts and sandals to long pants, socks and regular shoes to take Maureen to an early medical appointment in north Raleigh .... happy to be able to say that by the time we got back home shortly after noon, the temp had risen to 71 .... it was nice to be able to get back to shorts and sandals .... on the way home we stopped by a local garage where our '05 Trailblazer is once again in for repair .... some sort of sensor had to be replaced .... nothing else on tap for today

Wow! July in October again. Nice.

[JEBar]

another chilly morning .... 50 at 8AM .... the forecasted high for today is 75, temp predicted to drop to 54 overnight .... only thing on today's list is to haul trash .... I haven't followed Major League Baseball this season, well more accurately for the last several seasons .... did watch the NY Yankees game last night and was happy to see them move on in the playoffs

[Hatchdog]

A crisp 43 this morning, not sure what the high is supposed to be. Probably in the upper 60’s and sun expected. Just saw Fargo ND is expecting 90 and Coop just mentioned his high is expected to be 87. Wow! We are looking at a nice weekend coming up with crisp mornings and sunny pleasant afternoons. Good weekend to get all the trees I got from my neighbor cut up into rounds for the splitter.

Today we heading up to the property to see if we can hike up to where the fire was. Hopefully after this weeks rain we should be okay. But we won’t’ take any risks and if it looks iffy we’ll turn around. I need to service the mower up there and do some other maintenance tasks. We might take the motorhome up there next week weather depending. We’ll bring a few firearms and do some plinking if time allows.

49' and cloudy this morning. Dense fog? Not seeing it. Maybe 67' later with some sun breaking through. Mon-Wed supposed to be sunny and in the 70's.
