Ouch..... Who names these things that name sounds ominous.
We ran out of regular names this year and are further into the Greek Alphabet than we ever have before.
But I got to experience my first Hurricane Eye, and we still have power, unlike most of the city.
we call them whirlstorms. Fortunately, we rarely have any.
Today started with a rainstorm - it was pretty: coloured leaves whirling around like snowflakes. Then the sun came out and as I type the next rain front approaches rapidly. My guess is that afterwards it'll stay dry and lurk until I finish work. Then it'll drench me.

Just had one of our earliest ice storms. Hadn't even had a freeze yet, no we had to jump straight into the ice storm from hell. Have over 250k still without power. Getting back and forth to work has been like driving through a war zone since the trees all still had leaves when it hit, so the weight of the ice took them down or snapped off limbs. Finally warmer today, above freezing, but power still out in a lot of areas.

Way too hot for October.
It's settled down now, but earlier this afternoon was... snow.
Not just a few gentle intermittent flakes, like you might expect this early in the season. Gusty, blowing snow that was thick enough to obscure the view up the street into a whitish haze, and enough to actually start showing up in white patches on the ground.
November 1. Not even kidding.
ETA: I just checked our forecast, and apparently we are now under a snow squall watch!
What the serious
?!?

over here it's a perfect autumn morning: 6°C, a bit cloudy but getting clearer. Lovely bright moon earlier and now the sun is colouring the clouds the same yellow as birch tree leaves. The birds sing and are gathering for their flight southwards. The air is perfectly clear and you can see for miles and miles.
Warm and really nice. Appreciating the good weather. 
Rain, lots and lots of rain. Hoping my neighborhood doesn't flood again.
Perfect crisp fall day. Walked in the crunchy leaves. Escaped back inside for a hot cocoa.
Cool, grey, rainy and windy... very windy. We have a wind warning in effect, with damaging winds with gusts of up to 90 - 110 km/h set to continue today and overnight, before finally easing up Monday morning.
With a little bit of snow expected overnight, just for fun.

Snow. Woke up to a white landscape. It has continued to snow off and on all day. Is snowing right now.
Have I mentioned how much I hate snow? Only a million times? OK then.

Sounds kind of nice. I was working out in my yard today and felt like I was about to experience heat stroke. Thank goodness for air conditioning.
