60's today & mostly sunny!!!

This could be the last time for decent weather till spring. Gotta get out & finish touch up painting around windows.
Hang in there Ante

mjdsinsacto · 11-09-2009, 03:52 AM

42 degrees cold at 12:48 AM!

My baby bananas are cuddled under a U-Haul blanket pad

--that should give them some protection from the cold.

first cold night of the fall here.

sbl · 11-09-2009, 08:52 AM

Not good! Hurricane warning! We are dead center of projections. My biggest concern is the citrus trees--loaded with fruit to the point of almost breaking limbs from the weight of fruit. I am worried that the winds will break a lot of limbs and strip fruit. I have tried to stake and tie branches as much as possible, but I am sure there will be some damage.

Pecan tree will be the next biggest problem--it too is loaded and just starting to drop nuts, but many are still in solid green husk. Likely to get some broken limbs there.

Bananas in containers, I can lay down, but I wonder if I should cut leaves from the inground pstems to prevent breakage of larger plants. Any suggestions?

Patty in Wisc · 11-09-2009, 10:05 AM

A reporter was on this a.m. from Pensacola warning ppl of that hurricane moving in & I thought of you. Stay safe & I hope your plants & trees will be OK!

Dalmatiansoap · 11-09-2009, 11:01 AM

Take good care with that hurricane folks.

Guess what?
Still raining here

lorax · 11-09-2009, 01:41 PM

Jack and Ante! Send that rain my way. Ecuador's in a drought so bad that we've got rolling blackouts - not enough rain has fallen to fill the reservoirs at the hydro projects.

This said, it's about 110 here with no clouds in sight, and 90% humidity. We're all praying that we'll get a thunderstorm with actual rain tonight.

justjoan · 11-09-2009, 02:26 PM

Take care sbl, you and all those in the path of this storm are in my prayers. Be safe!

sbl · 11-09-2009, 05:36 PM

Good news is that they have downgraded the storm--it is no longer expected to hit as a minimal hurricane--just a tropical storm. I staked and tied the citrus trees and they are not moving at all in the wind. So far, this looks like just a rain event.

Lorax, I wish I could send you this rain--we are already a foot over normal and this one rain will probably exceed the normal rain for Nov by itself.

coast crab · 11-10-2009, 09:58 PM

We ended up with 4 inches of rain and a gusty, misty day today. Really nasty but it could have been much worse. Just some broken leaves on the ornatas.

Now if it would just LEAVE!!!!!!!

sbl · 11-11-2009, 08:15 AM

Ida was the kind of hurricane I like--one that fizzes out and doesn't rain too much--4 inches is plenty.

No damage here--just put a few pecans on the ground.

Richard · 11-28-2009, 02:19 PM

We finally had our first significant rain since last spring, and it put down a 1/4 inch.

Wow. I guess the girls are right, it never rains in southern California! Living in one of the nation's rainiest cities, that's hard for me to wrap my mind around...

Yes, definitely a warm Fall. My night-time lows are 45 F and the daytime highs are 75 F.

harveyc · 12-01-2009, 03:26 AM

Send some warmth up here, Richard. We've had cold weather early, with frosts coming about a month earlier than historical averages. We had our 5th day of frost on 11/30 and looks like we'll have frost again later this morning. Not too heavy, though, so my bananas are keeping their leaves so far. The days warm up nicely, though. I think we hit the mid 60s yesterday.

lorax · 12-01-2009, 09:48 AM

Into the mid 100's today, looks like, with 60-80 kph winds, and no rain in sight.

harveyc · 12-01-2009, 10:23 AM

Gosh, Beth, hope you don't dry out like a prune!

We're at 32.1F right now and that almost sounds better than your weather.
