RAIN?

[Toothy Critter]

I'm gettin' robbed...two weeks ago I was still out in the boat, fishing at night with just a pair of shorts and a hat on. Barefoot like Huck Finn on the Mississippi. Now I gotta wear flannel shirts and hoodies , long pants and windbreakers. . Dealing with temps 10-15 degrees below normal, and winds coming this week like Novermber fronts. New rule on this site!!!! No more ****** happy faces in posts about "OOOHHHH, I really love this ****** weather"

Now it would be nice if the sun would actually appear and dry things out a bit. Has been in very short supply around here - cloudy, damp and cold ever since the hurricane.

The storm still seems very tentative:

Because almost every day has some factor that intrudes on my fishing. If its not raining, its cold. If its not cold or raining, its windy.. I realize that everyone goes out and walks in the woods and to them this weather is welcome But try sitting in a boat in the middle of an open lake in these winds. I can almost bet that the average temp this month is way below normal. But really I'm just b****ing

I can almost bet that the average temp this month is way below normal.

Well, except for today, which is turning out very nice, it will not be getting out of the 50's during the day for the foreseeable future, maybe until April . Fishing should pick up as the possible nor-easter develops over the next few days. It's all up to Willa.

We've yet to experience a day this season that I'd consider cold. Brisk, yes, but cold? It hasn't happened yet.

Plenty of puddles out there today. A couple were pretty deep. The rain is postponing some of my visit to various places.

I'm into botany, and noticed that there are still many plants I study that are behind in seed maturity. Something is up. A change is coming.

There have been virtually no acorns at all in my oak-pine woods this year. The difference is really striking compared to other years, almost never heard them dropping on the roof or car. Was looking at a branch that blew down, and the acorns are just tiny immature buds. Aside from the squirrels, could this mean a rough winter for other animals?

No acorns means a mild winter. A late falling of them indicates a late winter. Nature has her ways

None on my trees either, sure makes cleaning the yard up easier
