Did the last mow of the season this morning. Glad I don't have to mess around with gas or oil.

Holy cow, my sister just sent me this photo. Northwest Illinois.

In addition to the snow, it was a cold day in #Columbus. 🥶 #OHwx

Still needs some work, but I'm mostly there getting Google Sheets to import the WPC list of forecast near/new records and assigning the lat/lon to the station codes to export as a CSV.

I'll confess that I've used ChatGPT to work through the vibe coding.

Most of the snowfall reports in the #Columbus area were 1–2". I had 2", but only on the grass and elevated surfaces. Streets were just wet. #OHwx

2" for our first snow of the season. At least in our neighborhood on the southwest side of the metro, streets are just wet. #Columbus #OHwx

If they could make it so a user can click-drag on these charts to tighten the time range, that would be so amazing.

When you rely on automation and people who don't know about the thing they're writing about, you get stuff like this.

Literally every single day has, climatologically, some amount of rain. Will this forecast article say "this day is usually a bit wet" 365 days a year? That's wrong and useless.

When I was pulling plants out of the garden and pots, I was really enjoying the warmth of the sun. It'll be a little while before we have a day like today again!

🎅Hung the lights and wreath today, since that's a heck of a lot easier to do when the weather is nice and my fingers aren't freezing. Kid didn't have school today, so she helped (gave me hooks... and knew to call 911 if I fell 🙃)

Already voted... and it's a nice day to hang Christmas lights, so that's this afternoon's task. #Columbus #OHwx

Mine is far from the loudest opinion in the room, but I still firmly take the position of defending the semi-annual time change: buckeyeweatherbuzz.substack.com/i/177830118/...

Friday morning lows around #Columbus... finally dropped into the 30s for the first time this season at CMH, tied for third-latest date for the first sub-40 reading. 34 was the official low. #OHwx

Overcast and windy in late October?

Take the under.

It's 1 p.m. and temps have barely budged since daybreak. #OHwx

Here comes some wind #OHwx

They say there's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing...

... but my rain jacket is at my mom's house eight hours away, so I was stuck with a windbreaker, which is not ideal.
