Dang!

We were out of town the night it happened. I was in bed the next night my wife comes in and says you need to see this. That was after driving 7hrs home. I got to see this. And nothing got wet.

Boy you are fortunate in a bad situation not to get soaked. Hope insurance is taking care of you.

I have an high deductible to keep costs down. Southern states tend to have higher premiums because of tropical weather. Higher deductibles hedge against that. Plus we know a good contractor. Cutting and pulling the limb. Patching then repairing the roof along with the bedroom ceiling was 2800$. Once dry the ceiling blended

I get it. Fires and high winds make our insurance an issue too.

41 F here no wind and 1/8th mile visibility. Dumbasses on our local private roads passing me at 50 mph.

Trees continue to change color, 38 this morning. Little rain yesterday, high of 55.

Quite a day yesterday. 

3 storms in the afternoon, evening, all with small hail. The 7 p.m. storm left an inch or more of small hail like it had snowed. Still on the ground now. It dropped the temperature to 33 degrees, 33 here now. We had a high of 50 yesterday. 

Trees are changing more rapidly.

Mountain weather is different than lower elevations.

Holy Cold Front Batman!!! I had to put the long pants on this morning for my walk! 51 degrees! Jacket too! Nothing like switching from AC to heater. And getting the house is on fire smell from turning on the heat for the first time. Now the dance starts. Heater AC, Heater AC, long pants in the morning. Shorts in the afternoon.

November 3rd is the latest I've ever mowed grass and my lawn looked the best it has looked in over twenty years. Grass loves cool wet weather and while our rain has been on the light side the low to high temperature swing has been in the sweet spot. it was so hot and dry this summer on whole the grass and everyone's tomatoes did poorly.  

 

Disconnected hoses and drained hydrants same day. We are projected to enter sub freezing in the next week or so. Still have blooms on the herb garden.  

 

Fall here has been stunning for a place with few natural maples. Full rainbow of leaf colors this year.

Winter is at our door here in Lachute Quebec Canada, freezing temps at night, snow in the forecast for the weekend ...  A good test for the new truck
