3. We're actually in a winter weather advisory until tomorrow night.
I'm not shocked, though. With the wind, the rain, and the cold, plus it's the end of October, it was bound to come sooner or later.

6. I converted to inches --- 28.35
Normal sea level pressure is 29.92.

Damn. That is low. I'll bet a lot of people are reaching for their migraine meds.

Keep safe! :hi:

7. It's similar to the eye of a minimal Cat3 hurricane!
The winds are only 1/3 as strong, though, because the pressure difference is more spread out.

12. Thank You! (Neurodivesity)
I clicked on your blog and ended up exploring neurodiversity tonight. You've really set me on a meaningful path and I'm so grateful. I already learned things just tonight that will help me be a better advocate for my son. I feel really empowered and encouraged.
