It’s official. We ran the heater for four hours this morning. As my parents age they need to keep the house at 70F. Coldest Halloween morning I can remember in a very, very long time. Possibly ever. About 2 weeks earlier than climatology dictates us running the heater.

I’m fairly confident that the pnw will either be cold or stormy and cool starting mid Nov.

Needless to say but I'll be watching the women/men turnout numbers very closely over the next four days to see if men can close that gap as we get closer to Election Day. If that gap in the Rust Belt states gets closer to the current Sun Belt gap, somewhere in the 2-5% range, then that will be a pretty good sign for the Trump campaign come ED morning.
