43 unofficial degrees recorded by my "Official Weather Channel" temperature measuring device. To boot, the soon return of the "Ole Man" was reassured by the activation of my motion light, safely illuminating my still dark path, as I walked from the house just past 7:00 AM this very morning.


The Ole Man cometh!!!

No frost yet but the fogman cometh..

Coming back from setting up my groundblind late this evening and the fog was just beginning to roll.

Tornado touched down in Crawford County PA around 3:00 PM this afternoon(10/02), taking part of the roof from a nursing home and destroying the roof on another out building.
 
No serious injuries reported at the time nor have I heard of any additional touch down from the storm.  Link shows the nursing home.

Update.....

Storm of 10/02 gone.... all gooder today.

Wellllllp here comes Michael ⚡now a "MONSTROUS CAT 4" hurricane!!🌀

Biggest storm drama queen Janice Dean (Fox) has ever seen!!! 😧

Speaking of Fox, anyone fortunate enough to see the weather dude holding up a dead "eel" washed up on the beach he was reporting from? Turning and spinning as he spoke of the incoming surf then when he stops and looks into the camera, the expression on his face sez "med's gone bad". 😲

Of course Michael is a very dangerous hurricane and those in the know will heed the warnings but how is it, the networks wish to turn such situations into a freak show😱 by having their "weather experts" acting and sqwaking like a flock of chickens, with a fox in the henhouse?

Just report the facts..... PLEASE😭

Prayers and thoughts to those in Michael's path.

Cold , rainy and windy today. Lake effect rain due tomorrow. Leaf hatch is in full swing. Sunny on Sunday so I gotta get my Chimney cleaned and my turkeys butchered .

Got alot of work done here, also by myself. Weather was nice for once

Greetings an salutations from NW Penn's Woods.

First frost coating the rails on my deck this morning (10/19) with the outside air temp hovering at 27.9 DF.

Unfortunately, not going to affect the grass growing so it looks like a few more times for grass mowing.

Not a heavy frost least not on the rails close to the house but time will tell as the leaves will turn, and to the ground they'll fell. 😏

I gotta go now.

Tight lines to those a fishing and good luck to those gruntin and a huntin.

Yesterday it was hail, thunder, and rainbows, most of the afternoon.

Last night, rain, high winds but it was too dark, to see, if there was anymore rainbows.🎃



Today..... just plain sucks.👻
.

Well it spit snow all day and did not get out of the 30s It was wIndy as hEck both days. I opted to get a few things done around here so I do not foresee any fishing until Thanksgiving week for me

Most of the leaves are gone and temps hovering around freezing at night. Very much rain the last few weeks. there will be no water issues this winter. Going on vacation put me a week behind. Need to finish my wood ad get the stove started this weekend. I have Thanksgiving week off so I will hit it then a few days. Still alot of odds and ends to get done this weekend. Calling for snow on the tug

Getting the last  of the outside, with the exception of some window installations, work done has been hard with the endless Seattle weather.  At least I don't feel guilty for taking off to fish when I did, as it rained 3 straight days.  I've flown into Seattle 3 times and only saw  Mt. Rainier once. The other morning I shut my kitchen light off when it was already off. A strange yellow light had permeated the room.  I'm suffering from SAD. Steelhead  Arrival  Displacement. When you know steel are in the river, but you can't get away to fish. At least the election bombardment is done. I vote for sunshine.  Good luck to those in the woods and on the water.

I have considered all of them. The whole summer egg production was down but not bad. I attributed it to introducing the turkeys. About a month ago production went from 6  eggs a day from 10 chickens to maybe one a day if that. They have also been eating the few eggs played.  I chalked it up to molting and processing of the turkeys. Even my best laying leg horns are not producing. Birds are from 1.5 to 2 years old. I have increased protein. Now finding the ermine living in the coop, she could have been the egg thief and stressor. We will see. 

I hope the snow here stays around until after thanksgiving. Then freeze the lakes and no snow
