What Autumn???
What Autumn???
We had a very hot September, highs in 80s to 90s and lows 50s to mid 60s until September 28th, the end of summer...
Actual temperatures:
9/28 high 92° (record for the day) low 55° sunny with high clouds.
9/29 high 71° (only temperature on average) low 45° very windy, cloudy.
9/30 high 51° low 38° (light rain, windy)
10/1 high 54° low 29° (clear, very windy, ran sprinkler to help garden) Weather prediction at the time said only night below freezing... Hah!
10/2 high 60° low 30° (partly cloudy, very windy then clouds, then clearing)
10/3 high 40° low 32° (very heavy snow, collapsed roof at my Dad's clock shop, and damaged trees--about 2" rain equivalent at our farm),
10/4 high 41° low 27° (lingering snow, later partly cloudy, garden still being sprinkled--ash tree branch over carrots and corn)
10/5 high 41° low 29° (garden a sodden mess from all that water...)
10/6 high 55° low 29° (I think I'm just going to wet it enough to try to save the tomatoes and carrots, and let the rest go...)
I guess we skipped Autumn, except maybe 9/29, and a token 60° on 10/2. Here's a picture of our deck early morning October 4th, about 8 am. This was exceptionally dense and slushy snow. There's still some snow here and there outside today 10/6.
