I'm good, thanks for checking. Lost a few shingles and a tree fell in the back yard.

Snowed till midday and a hard freeze tonight. We still have folks without power up here. Helos still delivering generators, food, firewood, and water. The arts community in Asheville took a big time hit and most of Asheville is still under a boil water directive. I have a friend who's neighbors were swept off the roof of their house and drowned. Lucy and I were lucky.

I woke up this morning to ~3" of snow. Not even a flurry up to this point. The sight of the first snow made me happy, and I grinned from ear to ear, just like I did when I was a little kid.
The way the seasons turn and the way each turning seems like a fresh experience always astounds me, and I love it. I mean, I've consciously experienced 60+ fresh snowfalls, or the first breeze of winter breaking and spring approaching, or the smell of fallen leaves, but it's new every year. I don't get it, but it's great the way the seasons change and impact me.
Starting to snow here. Supposed to get 4-6 inches tonight and more tomorrow. I enjoy getting my layers on, grabbing my walking stick and heading out for a couple of miles in the snow. It's quiet and I can track deer, coyotes, and turkeys.

11:30am and still only 48f. I'm beginning to think summer is over.
Trapped in the People's Communist Republic of Massachusetts.
Snowing here right now.
Typical Mo weather, record high temps last week, below freezing this morning. High temps forecasted in the 80s this weekend.
Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.
We've dropped down into the 90's this week , calling for 70's by Saturday. Our fall tends to be brief.

653 houses here in northeast Avery County are still without power. Does not include the 285 that got power back yesterday.
63, sunny, strong breeze. Beautiful.

80° yesterday, had frost on the ground this morning, will get close to 80 again today
Got about 1/4 inch of moisture after 31 dry days.

My AI result says it's been about 183 days since the last significant rainfall here. We may get an insignificant amount of rain this weekend.
Hasn't rained a drop since Helene.
Finally raining! 1st rain since September 29

35f. Fortunately no wind.
Trapped in the People's Communist Republic of Massachusetts.
Left Florida at 89 landed in Boston to 39
Light rain and low 60's. First rain since Helene.
Light Santa Ana winds kicking in…24-35 mph. Extremely dry. Red flag 🚩 warning…this type of weather is when the a$$hole arsonists like to strike.
A good cigar and whiskey solve most problems.
Unseasonably warm. I hate it.
Please introduce yourself in the newbie thread sir

Loving this cold snap here in WNC.
Written like a poet.
What is WNC?
Is that kinda like LUM for me?
