Fall arrives Monday

The Harvest Moon signalling the end of summer was last Monday.

Greetings again...I am finally back north of the border after a week along the New Hampshire coast. Sorry for the lack of entries towards the end of the week, too much time walking the beach at Salisbury State Park and Plum Island. The weather was great for September, we had a warm, windy start and a frosty end. Fall is upon us, it arrives at 11:44am Monday morning. The summer season is ending on a crisp and sunny note. It was not a very good summer to say the least. I would give it a D overall with a D- to begin and a C+ for September.

Power is slowly being restored across the Gulf Coast and Midwest after Hurricane Ike. What a weather event far inland. Hydro One sent about 150 employees down to Ohio to help in that state. Over 1.3 million people were left in the dark in Ohio alone.

Hurricane forecasters are watching another system that is organizing north of Puerto Rico. They will fly an aircraft into the system today. It could become a depression later today - if it is named it will be Kyle. I will post more tonight along with some photos from the coast.
