 I have to admit, I was a little dazed and confused this weekend, stumbling around, wondering what month it was. I found it a little strange having to fire up the A/C in October, but it was nice to get some extra mileage out of the patio furniture and the barbecue on the deck. Gee whiz, if the local trees weren't changing color and losing their leaves, I'd swear that we were reliving summer. Whatever the case, why do I have this nagging suspicion that at some point in the very near future we are going to pay for this incredibly mild and dry early October weather? Temps this month have been so mild that we are now sitting at the warmest October on record, nearly 5.5 degrees above average.

Looking ahead, there appears to no end to the mostly dry and mild fall weather. The strong upper level winds, which have been soaring north of us in Canada over the past several days, will begin to sag south this week, bringing noticeably cooler, but closer to average temperatures our way by mid week. Even still will high temperatures by Wednesday and Thursday, that will still be above average. Temps this upcoming weekend should be in the upper 50s, we may be close to 70 degrees on Saturday - good grief - Todd Nelson
