Pattern October Oscitance

Cooldown's still there on the 12z, but based off my interpretation, it's shorter duration. At least it seems like it won't revert back to summer?

Looks like the light at the end of the tunnel has suddenly became bright!! I have 40s in my forecast by next Sunday night. Let's see if she sticks this time!

Same here. Now have 44 the lowest and the Euro supports it too! It's colder on the Euro, around 42, but I'm not complaining as long as it's below 55.
 
Looks like the Canadian was right about a tropical system.
 
Baton Rouge shouldn't crack above 80 starting this coming Friday and morning lows will finally get down to the 50s. At long last the wait is over! Fall has arrived, and not a moment too soon!

I see highs in the upper 70s on my NWS forecast by the end of it!

It's finally almost here. Relief. Could get even cooler after that.

My spiders have been going crazy, so the cold this winter should be real, lol. The last two times they went bonkers like this I saw lows near 0 during those winters. This time they are building regular webs, but tie them to tree limbs 60 feet in the air, and to the ground, and when you run into one of those runners it's like hitting a rope. I think they are trying to catch a hawk, or an owl. Throw in an Oct. hurricane coming right over me, followed by a cold snap, and I'm fixing to wax my sled already, lol....and I ordered a new winter coat.
I had the biggest yellow jacket nest I've ever seen under some tarps that covered my tiller in a shed. They stung me once, but I left them alone, since I couldn't get to them with the 50 spray. Several days later my dog got in there and they were all over her..didn't get thru her fur though, but that was the last straw. So I'm out there at night and tie a cord to the tarp and in doing so got them stirred up. Sounded like a jet engine revving up. Scared the willies out of me, but I persisted. Got the cord tied off, and backed off 50 feet and got behind a tree, and pulled. Heard them all the way were I was, but the angle was off. So in an act of bravery that was purely amazing, I came from behind the tree, crossed in front, and off to an angle and pulled again, all the time hearing that jet engine...then took off running, with all the demons of hell right behind me. I was running so fast , I came out of my pants, and they were down around my knees and there I was trying to run, butt fully exposed to the hoard of jet engines, holding up my shorts, with both hands, and my life flashing before my eyes. But I made it to the house and safety. Shaken but proud. They were gone the next day...but I know they are still out there..in buzzing in wait...ready to get me when I blunder onto their new nest. I'm so nervous now when I was walking across the yard yesterday and come upon a king snake all laid out across my path, I involuntarily jumped and hollered, confusing snakes and yellow jackets all up...just knowing I needed to jump and hollar. At least the snake didn't buzz at me...a sound burned into my mind, a gift from the minions of the devil! Winter can't get here soon enough. I've never been stung in winter, nor have I ever seen a snake in Jan. except when the cats dig in the leaves and bring them in and lay them next to my shoes for a morning surprise. Country living is fraught with dangers, lol. But I'm ready for the time when a hurricane drags 20 inches of precip into the freezing remains of a 1086 high :) Sledding off a sky scraper sounds like breaking the sound barrier kind of fun!

Spiders crazy here, building on the porch steps daily, had one on my truck! These are biguns to.
 
I have noticed the same phenomenom of very active spiders this year as well. Has anyone else noticed how there is an abundance of caterpillar webs on trees?
