ThisMonthThis month in Truro ...  

     September 22 was the autumnal equinox, when the sun crossed the equator and night and day were the same length - 12 hours - all over the world. This month, days will continue to shorten almost 3 minutes each day.
     Shorter days will drop the average high temperature to 61, with average lows of 46.  We get about 6 days of rain with an average total of 3 inches. Expect our first frost.
