The Weather.

[Moll Flanders]

It's cooler here today. I had the garden doors open and a pot of hot green tea to keep me warm. I'm so excited about Autumn, Halloween and Christmas.

I believe it is. It probably isn't typically, but my mom and her friend worked in the insurance business for decades, so I'm sure she was covered. My mom is meeting her and the insurance adjuster tomorrow, just to make sure all the i's are dotted and t's crossed. The friend isn't thinking too clearly at the moment, so it's good that my mom will be there. This woman is like a second mother to me. I feel so bad.

I hope she is covered, it would be awful if she wasn't.

It has also cooled down overhere and apparently it'll be 22 °C on Saturday.

Thank you, Moll.
Today is another 10, and I got to each lunch outside. Stellar weather.

 

[KLS52]

Brrrrr! Chilliest morning so far. I don't even want to go walking until it warms up, lol.

69 degrees and partly cloudy. I do believe, ladies and gents, we are seeing the beginning of the end of this blasted heatwave, not to mention of summer.

ETA: Okay, another website says it's 73 degrees. But it's still partly cloudy and a lot cooler than it's been for the past couple of weeks. So it's all good.

Humidity is still high, though, so that makes it more unpleasant feeling.

So what exactly is the Almanac predicting for this winter? New England, New York and most of Pennsylvania will experience a bitterly cold and snow-filled season. The mid-Atlantic states will be cold, wet and blanketed in white. The Southeast will be chilly and wet all winter. Texas and other Southern states will experience frost and above-average dampness. Illinois and the surrounding states will have "biting cold" and snow. The Midwest will see "piercing cold" with normal snowfall. The Pacific Northwest will see a dry and chilly year. The one good region in the predictions is California, Nevada and Arizona, which will see a season of cool with near-normal precipitation.

Not that I believe any of it.

Ugh. I read this yesterday. I really, really, really hope they are wrong this year. I've been having issues dealing with the recent temperatures in the 60s, so I don't see myself tolerating winter well at all this year.

 

[ledboots]

I will take chilly and wet, thankyouverymuch.

Unfortunately, our summer weather is close to six months long, for all intents and purposes. :fans self:

ETA I used to read the Farmers Almanac when I was a kid, well I read everything back then. My mom had it, as she was a great gardener and thought their advice was often right. She always planted in the new moon and harvested in the full (or the other way around? ) because of the Almanac. She said their frost dates were accurate. Plus fun to read.

It's much more chilly here and the winter duvet has gone back on the bed.

It's typical as I decorated my living room recently but I had to rearrange the furniture last night as I had placed my sofa near a draft.

As much as I love winter/snow, I do not like being cold. I would make a great hibernator.

To be honest, I WANT to believe but don't want to be disappointed, lol. I hate when they predict a lot of snow and then we don't get it. I like seeing what the long-term predictions are. Cool that your mom was able to plant around the information given.

 

[PTree15]

I like snow, but not in the amounts we had last winter. Blech.
Today is positively wretched: wicked humid and wicked hot.

 

[Amy SF]

So I'm, liek, in Cali, dudes. Snow? What's that?

Seriously, you should all winter in SoCal. You don't even have to bring your umbrella. Just a nice hoodie and a long scarf.

 

[Second Summer]

It's a lot cooler over here now. And raining every day. Autumn is here for real.

 

[KLS52]

Just had some crazy weather. Thunder and lightening for about an hour and a half. Not super terrible, just strange how it lasted so long.

 

[Moll Flanders]

It's dull and drizzly today but we are meant to have stormy weather on Sunday.

 

[Amy SF]

Currently 68 degrees, it's a quarter to one in the a.m. It's going to get a little warmer for the next few days than it's been this week, but by Wednesday it's going to start getting cooler again. Call this the last gasp of summer, because autumn begins in just NINE DAYS! Yay!

 

[Second Summer]

Actually, it got a lot better around here yesterday, so after work I met up with the family at the playground. Perfect temperature for this time of year! We also got to see a hot-air balloon fly over the playground. It was so close we could clearly hear the "swoosh" when they turned on the burner.

Today it's back to drizzling rain though, but the temperature is pretty good, all things considered.

 

[thefadedone]

Cold today. Only in the 50s. It was soo humid and nasty yesterday so for once I really don't mind the cold weather today.

Same here, though it was in the high 60s. Pretty nice overall.

The 'storm' isn't very exciting. The wind keeps blowing the windows shut making that howling noise and the dogs bark thinking it's another dog making that noise.
