It could technically be Indian Summer here now. The frost we had earlier didn’t seem to hit any plants, but I now see the Virginia Creeper all red and dying back, so that counts.

We’ve been flirting with a first frost for the last few weeks. At the community garden plot about a mile away, we had three frosts in a row about 2 weeks ago. Everything tender at the house is still going strong. It’s amazing how much difference a site can make!
Surge has reached about 5 feet in at this coastal tide gauge south-southwest of Lafayette… and water is rising. Peak surge in this zone predicted to be 7 to 11 feet. #HurricaneDelta updates: https://wapo.st/34FuezR

85F yesterday… the park last night was as busy as ever. Probably haven’t seen that amount of people since this summer. That i would imagine will be it for warm days.
The extended after early next week shows no warmth 
Very late october looking (50Fs/maybe low 60s for highs)>…good chance at frosts/freezes.
Much colder later week …showing a high of 50F Thurs and 48F Friday…GFS shows lake effect snow for Michigan.
Extended even has some snow for the northeast so winter marches closer.
a town 40mi. south of here woke up to 2in. of snow this am. a cold front came thru last night dumping 2 in of hail on my deck, heavy rain and a very impressive lightning show. day temps back into the upper 40’s to low 50’s.

Feh - rain from cold front fizzling out
Very nice stretch of weather is coming to a quick end. By late week highs in the 40Fs. Picking the last tomatoes and going to end the garden this week. Bring everything i need to inside.
Half inch of rain this morning. Weird obs overnight. The temp rose to 71F at 4am (strong south winds…wonder if we tapped some of the heat from the hurricane). Now the temp is 53F.
Fall color must be about peak here. Pretty good display of colors yesterday.
