The Weather.

It's not as hot as it has been lately.

I'm ready for Autumn now.



o_O Scary.
It was crazy. The section of town that got hit might have had some rotation, though the weather service hasn't contained it. People kept describing it as looking like a tornado went through. I hate all of the extreme weather.

ETA: I hate to wish away the summer, but I'm ready for autumn as well!
 
It felt quite a lot colder last night. I had to wear socks in bed.

I moved the chairs around and covered them with pet blankets for my animals to sit on. They keep squabbling about who sits where. 🤣

We had more crazy weather yesterday. Severe thunderstorms, quarter-size hail and tornado warnings -- again! Actually, my town didn't get the warning, but my friend two towns over (only 8 miles away!) was in her basement for an hour because of the tornado warnings. I guess this is the new normal. It's so odd, as tornados are rare in my area. We seem to get one about every 20 years, but this year, the weather has been really extreme. The news showed photos people took of low-hanging clouds that looked like they formed part of tornado, though the Weather Service hasn't confirmed that any touched down. There was one neighborhood in the next town over that lost all of its trees, so it could have been a tornado or maybe a microburst. No houses were damaged, which was a miracle. Today is beautiful. Nice dry late-summer day.
 
The weather has been absolutely fantastic here today - the most picture-perfect autumn day you can imagine, blue skies as far as you can see, sunny and relatively warm, perfect for a walk. I suppose it's almost like an indian summer :)

We’ve been having nice Fall days in the 70s which is perfect. The weekend is supposed to be warmer...low 80s, which I really don’t want at this point. I wanted it for the first few weeks of September, not at the end when I’m gearing up for Fall. But I’m sure it will still be nice anyway.

It is actually much cooler today! I stayed in all day but when I stepped out to get the mail, I was pleasantly surprised at the coolness! Well.... not exactly COOL but only in the 70's! We did get a rain shower and it stayed cloudy most of the day. We are actually going to be in the 80's the rest of the week! The 80's feel "cool" after having triple digit heat indexes most of the summer.

Agreed, but I will take it. :) It's beautiful today.

Believe it or not I have the windows open to let in the fresh air! Even though fresh air tends to trigger allergies, I like it! It is currently 82 so the windows will have to close soon but it has been a lovely morning!

ME Too. I’m not ready to be cold and mornings are already 39-41 degrees. That’s too drastic even with it warming up during the day.

Agreed! I had the afghan on the bed the other night. Bah! It's pretty warm today, though. I had to put the AC back on. It's 85 right now. Whew!

We're having zero degrees (32°F) every night, that's why we're sleeping with the windows shut. Luckily, the "heating season" in our typical block houses has begun, so we're not freezing. On Saturday and Sunday it's going to be much warmer: 57°F at daytime, and 46°F at night. So, i hope, we won't be freezing at the country.🤠
