  1. Dude, we're still routinely hitting 90 and the lows the next few days don't get below 70, even with clouds and rain chances. Nighttime and Morning temps in the 40's and 50's warming up to 80 in the afternoon is not the same thing at all. We're 5 weeks into "Autumn" and have spent less than 24 hours below 60 degrees thus far.
  2. Meanwhile, in the rest of the country, it's actually been legit Autumn for several weeks, and is about to be Winter up in the mountains. Lot of ski towns will be getting their first big snowfalls of the season this week.
  3. Official rainfall projection for next 5 days. Higher odds for Eastern portions of the state, but we'll see. Good news for those of you taking kids out trick-or-treating is that it looks much more likely to rain Thursday morning than Thursday evening. Fingers crossed.
  4. From SCW today:
  5. One more record-tying hot day without a cloud in the sky today then looks like we're in for a bit of a shift next week with clouds returning and atmosphere getting a little more disturbed. Still gonna be abnormally warm through the first week of November, but finally have our first real chances in ages starting Wednesday. Next cool front still at least 10 days out.
  6. Yes, it's perfectly acceptable to bitch about. It sucks out there, and it's just not supposed to feel like this in late October. It's like we traveled back in time by 6 weeks.
  7. Total crapshoot right now as to whether we get any rain on Halloween and how much through next weekend. Some sites/local news stations have it 30% or less while others are anywhere from 50-80% Thursday through Sunday. Current 7 day precipitation forecast:
  8. Not loving the forecast for Opening Weekend. Currently 80% chance of storms on Thursday, 65% on Friday, 50% on Saturday out at my lease. I mean, we definitely need some rain after 6+ weeks of drought, but really, that's the weekend that the dam finally bursts?!?!
  9. Actually since the figure of $80,610 is for 2023, if you change the top date to December 2023, you actually get $67,792.38 worth of January 2020 money, a $250 bump. Thanks Chicken!
  10. Median Household Income as estimated by BLS ≠ Median Salary estimated by Fidelity Rhetorical question.
  11. Why are you mixing sources? Census Estimate for 2020: $67,521 Census Estimate for 2023: $80,610 Got the Fidelity numbers for 2020?
  12. Felt like early September when I went out for lunch earlier. Going to either tie or come up just a degree short of setting a new record high today. 90/70 when the average for October 25th is 80/58. Looks pretty assured that this will end up as the 2nd or 3rd warmest and all-time driest October of the past 125 years. Next cool front doesn't look like it'll arrive until ~11/6, and all that will do is bring us closer to average temps for first week of November (75/55).
  13. Who's ready for a Late October weekend of 90 degrees?
  14. 30% chance of rain next Wednesday and 50% next Thursday for Houston area. If those don't pan out, we'll have made it the entire month of October without a single drop of measurable precipitation. Daily highs and lows for the month are going to end up averaging 8+ degrees higher than normal.
  15. That's a damn good buck for East Texas. Belly looks taut and trim, so I can't imagine he's much more than about 3 years old. Ideally, he'd get another year or two to age and breed, but out where we hunt, he'd likely get shot on sight. No high fences, so if you don't shoot him, someone on a neighboring property certainly will.
  16. I'd almost certainly be shaking and would need to spend a minute or two taking deep breaths after sticking my rifle on the window of the stand.
  17. Current forecast for Opening Day is low 80's and 50% chance of rain. It'd be comical if it wasn't so predictable.
  18. A lot muggier out this morning than past 2 days. Humidity has returned in basically the only pocket of the country in which most Surly posters live. Check out this national dewpoint map. Will be high 80's and elevated humidity until some drier air moves in Saturday. Temps ~10 degrees above average and abnormally humid to start next week and then 50/50 rain chances Wednesday-Saturday, though it will be a total crapshoot of where rain falls and how much. Euro model has Houston area getting just 0.5" total, while Austin gets 1.5" and College Station gets 3".
  19. it's Groundhog Day the next 7 days. Each day basically the exact same as the one before. Sunny, high around 90, low around 65. No chance of rain. Long-term models are starting to show a pattern change starting middle of next week with first real rain chances in a long while for 10/30 and 10/31. Too far out to have any confidence at this point.
  20. Some gold in the comments: "What's coming is a tow truck and a court date." "Be sure to upload the video of you screaming like a child when they smash in your window and taze you!"
  21. So damn nice out there when I took the dogs for a long walk this morning. Spending today in an office feels like a sin.
  22. I actually did the opposite last year on one feeder. After hunting Saturday evening of Opening Day, I went and adjusted the clock for DST at the stand I was planning to hunt the next morning, except I went one hour in the wrong direction. Feeder went off at the exact moment as I was climbing out of the stand to go see why I hadn't heard it go off. D'oh.
  23. I think I'm gonna adjust when I head out this weekend. Currently at 7:00 and 5:30. Probably move morning feed back and evening feed forward by 20 minutes each. This time of year you start losing close to 100 seconds of sunlight every day. By opening weekend, it won't officially be sunrise until close to 7:40.
