A Nice Halloween Followed By Another Mostly Rainy Day

A Nice Halloween Followed By Another Mostly Rainy Day

The kids lucked out last night with a very nice Halloween night.  What began as a rainy, dark day turned into a very nice evening.  Highs were in the 50s and the skies cleared up just in time for the trick or treaters.   I don’t know how many kids still go from door to door looking for treats.  I’m told by many people that there aren’t near as many as there used to be.  I think that more are going to parties now rather than the usual neighborhood begging.  It is safer and weather doesn’t really affect it.  I’m told that we had quite a thunderstorm early Wednesday morning that put on quite a light show.  I slept through it, darn it!

Right now (9:30 AM), our temperature is 43°F (6°C), the humidity is 83%, and winds are from the north but calm.  The pressure is 29.90 in (1012.5 mb) and falling.  The dew point is 40°F (4°C) and visibility is 10 miles.  There was 0.21″ of rain in my gauge since 5:30 yesterday morning.  Yesterday’s high was 55°F (13°C) and the overnight low wa 44°F (7°C).  Normals for this date are 53°F / 38°F.  The record high for Nov. 1 is 79°F (26°C) set in 1950, and the record low is 21°F (-6°C) set in 1976.
