Happy October!

I lived in SW Florida for about 5 years.

One thing I REALLY miss is the 2 week long Oktoberfest put on by the German-American Social Club of Cape Coral.

Their 38th Oktoberfest this year runs October 20, 21, 22 and 27, 28, 29.

It’s like Noah’s Arc where I’m at with this rain. SMH 🤦‍♂️

Lows in 60's all week...highs 70's....ahhhhh!

We're forecast to dip into the 40s overnight. First time in the 40s since mid-March

Already fall weather here and I'm not a fan - it was in the 40's this AM when I started my workout (outside).

I hate the cold.

Not crazy about extreme cold, like our -2 last winter, two nights in a row, with a high of 11 in the middle, but I don't like extreme heat, either. Generally, I like fall and spring (when we have them)...

Local weather report just now reporting our current humidity at 27%!

That's wild for the beach...

Yeah but that was the station in Orlando - my local site is saying 48% here.....

Oh, explains that, but it's still low for the beach. On the mountain here, 52 was the high, after 51 yesterday. Low was 44...

I think that 27% humidity reading is a mistake.

They just showed it in Orlando as the same as here - 48....and then 27 at Cape Canaveral.

People don't know how to drive......add in certain weather conditions and look out!

I was driving across Lake Ponchartrain in December of 1974 at night on my way to the ND/Bama Sugar Bowl. I've never seen fog like that before or since. The only way I could see the road in places was to open the car door and look at the double yellow line. Three friends were with me, two of them female, and it was nerve wracking.

It's easy for me to understand how this pile up occured.

Bumped into an ex Chicagoan at the Dentist this morning. Conversation turned from the state of Madison AL roads to the Dan Ryan "Raceway" through Chicago. It reminded me of being caught in the north bound lanes there during an ice storm. Collisions by the dozens in what becomes a no man's land.
