I am just so done with summer. I can't take anymore of this heat. It is unreal.
October?? Where are you?
-
The humidty here in central Ohio has been brutal for the last 2 weeks.
I'm ready for fall in a big way.
-
I'm ready for fall, too, but because of deer season . . .

The humidity stinks. Yesterday the actual temp was 100. But with the humidity, the real feel was 115. Now our fall here in the deep south isn't a "real" fall, but I will take 70 degree weather any ole day. Even 80. Hell, even 90.
-
Shut up about fall already. Spend a few six month long winters in extreme northwestern Vermont, and you will feel the same.
-
I am only so-so ready
-
It's 75 right now but it is getting hotter here. Tomorrow it is supposed to be 81. Next week it is going to get to 90.

I'll stick your ass in a New Hampshire snowbank in late January, and see how "ready" you are for cold.

I am sure. We don't have a real winter here, but the summer makes up for it tenfold.

I believe it. But come on down here about now. You'll be begging for that mess. I promise you.
I don't mind hot. But by hot, I mean 90-95 real feel. This is just as deadly as your winters.

Well, the same could be said for those of us in this miserable heat. Summers are always hot here. But this year, it has gone to a new level. I was big pregnant in the summer 2 years ago. My baby was born in September, but I am so thankful it wasn't THIS hot then. It was hot. But it was bearable. This is unreal. Just last week a man died from mowing his yard in this heat. Heat strokes aren't anything to mess around with. I am always ready for fall and spring. They are my favorite seasons. Especially fall. The holidays are upon us, and I love love love the holiday season.

Summer has been so cool this year that is almost feels like fall :thatsright:

Oddly enough, I can say that about many winters here, only vice versa. Last year we had a real winter (at least for the deep south). So I guess payback was a freakin crazy real summer.
-
At 10pm, it's 81, with a heat index of 86 and 78% humidity.
And it's clear out.
:banghead:
It was clear at this time last night too, but storming at 2, maybe it will tonight too....
I'm over the heat too.... :bawl:
-
October is my favorite month. I love all the cute Halloween decorations. :)
I'm sick of using our A/C and the high electricity bills because of it. Go F yourself, Nevada Power.
-
Thank God I live here in the Catskill Mtns where we have 4 seasons. I do get sick and tired of 2 of them, summer and winter. I could take fall all year. Salmon and steelhead and deer oh boy!!
-
Just going into the "dry season" here. Early part of the season the temperature might get as low as 18C normally. Cold snap right now and it's down to a shocking low of 12C at night.
I'm thinking that nature is a sneaky bitch , and is trying to lull us into a false sense of security before serving up a nasty hot season.

Just north of the Mohawk, myself. Yes, I love the four seasons, too, though the government makes me want to leave.

Yeah? You do realize we've had heat indexes over 100 for a whole buttload of days in the last month.
We set some all-time records last month. Over 98-100, with heat indexes pushing 110-115.
-
At 6:00 am today, the heat index was already 91. We are headed for another 106ish day. That is regular temp, the Heat index has been around 115 for days. Normal summer here is 16 days over 100, we have already hit 20, and have at minimum 5 more to go. We are very close to beating the 1980 heat wave record. I moved here in that heat wave. Lordy.
Summer in Texas sucks, and always has sucked.

This morning seems to be a repeat of 12 hours ago...82 degrees, with a heat index of 88. humidity is 74%. Up in the 100's for heat index again today. Storms are predicted, but they were yesterday too, all it did was turn into even more of a sauna outside. :(
We have a heat warning again today and an air quality warning...both have been pretty much a daily thing, for days.
A cold front is supposed to be coming through tonight/tomorrow....so instead of upper 90's, it's going to be low to mid 90's.
I'm ready for October.

South Jersey has been hot/humid and sticky this summer (as usual) but not abnormally so. Last summer was the strange one -- I think we had MAYBE 5 days all summer where it broke the 90 degree mark. It was a very chilly and rainy summer ('09) and then we had the record-breaking buttloads of snow winter '09/'10. I'll happily take summer weather for a bit longer this year! Besides, we've been hitting the Shore every weekend for a daytrip, either on the beach or futzing around on the boat and have been lucky to have a seabreeze to keep the heat and the damned green-headed flies away!
Also, the kid's starting high school in Sept which I'm nervous about :mental: even though he's not!!

We had the same type summer last year! We didn't get the snow over the winter...only a couple of days, and it was usually melted down by end of the day, but we did have really cold temperatures.
Last time we had a beastly hot summer, we had a lot of snow in the winter. Hard tellin' what this winter will bring.
We are in a valley between the Smokies and the Cumberlands....even the meteorologists can't predict are weather very well....something the smart ones acknowledge.
-
Sounds yucky.
We've seen more of those days that we normally get in a summer. And don't forget, we get down to -20 on a regular basis in the winter. Oil bills SUCK, especially when you've got the thermostat set at 58 at night and while you're at work, 68 when you're at home, and you're STILL going through 150 gallons a month.

I actually like having seasons. I would like to back in Omaha, Ne where you have a real fall and spring. I remember fall as a child, walking down the street with a carmel apple and hearing a football game coming out of all the houses. "sigh". To be a child again.
-
Jake just went from Camp Pendleton to Virginia Beach and he says the humidity's unreal. It's really hot here but I kinda like this season. The blackberries are ripe and they're my favorite fruit.

One day I hope to bring my wife to New Jersey (Highlands/where my parents are from) and show her what a real fall looks like.
-
Oh hell no. I will take 100 degrees over 50 degrees any day of the week. It's been in the low 100's here in the afternoons and me and the wife still ride our bikes about 5 miles every other day. I like the heat.
I spent several winters in the north east when I was building water towers and .... hell I got tired of being cold really quickly.
Nope, I'll take the summer over any season thank you.

I'd take 100 degrees if I could live back in Texas.

Fall can be nice up here in the arctic but winters are hell.
I understand how heat and humidity are uncomfortable but keep in mind for the most part everything keeps working.
Night lows in the 20s or below mean a heat source HAS to function unless you want every water pipe in the house to freeze and break open.
Your vehicle will always start when it is hot...20 below zero then maybe.
Snow is a neat novelty in the southern areas but imagine trying to navigate through 1-2 feet of it for close to 4 months,maybe even longer.
I can`t wait for the day lifes circumstances allow me to move out of this God forsaken area.

You are so right. When working in the nor' east we had additive in our diesel welding machines THEY STILL GELLED UP! We had to thaw the fuel tanks with the dang cutting torch to start the welders. Had to use the cutting torch to thaw the ice around the outriggers on the crane so we could pick them up off the floor. Had to disconnect the air hoses to the grinders and the arc gouge and take them inside so the couplings could thaw .... absolutely MISERABLE.
Jeeze I hate the cold.
KC
-
That sounds like fun.
It usually doesn't drop below freezing here, but I hate not being able to work on my car in the driveway. I am definitely going to have to invest in an insulated suit so I can spend more time outside. I hate the heat and haven't done crap with my car since May.

y'all ain't right...

We had a decent-sized thunderstorm that blew through here last night in front of a cold front.
Temps and RH have dropped 20 degrees. It's almost blissful.
Dog freaked out again last night, but that's nothing new. :whatever:
-
At least I can open my windows at night now and not worry about the house getting too intolerably hot during the day when I leave them open...the next few days are what I'd consider "perfect"...80 or so during the day, mid-50's at night.
The extended forecast has a few days in the upper 80's/upper 60's, but I'm guessing I'll be able to pack away the AC for yet another season by early September or so.
-
Not ready. Not ready at all.
Wednesday's polo practice, it was 97 degrees at the field. During yesterday's it was on 52 and cloudy and rainy. The days are getting shorter and the nights cooler. *sigh*
I'm ready for spring!

I have never had to live with southern heat and humidity so for all I know would tire of that very quickly but I do know that the endless winters here with the darkness that goes with them are a nightmare I wouldn`t wish on anyone.

Carl, are you in Alaska?

No,upstate NY.
Am exaggerating some but winter weather by most folks knowledge of it starts in late September or if lucky mid October and lasts until late April or May.

Yeah, as much as I bitch about snow (and we didn't really have much last year) it's NOTHING compared to the lake effect stuff that they get up in Oswego and that area.

Thankfully am in the eastern part of the state so don`t have that,just Nor`easters that come through and arctic clippers from the north west.

When I went to SLU, we joked that we had two seasons:
"Winter"
"Winter will be back in five minutes"

At least in NH we have five seasons:
Winter
Still Winter
Almost Winter
Road Construction

lol! We have 2 seasons. Summer and Fall/Spring. The last 2 count as one because they kinda blend together. The only difference is leaves grow in one of the seasons, and leaves fall in the other. Other than that, there is no difference.
-
Texas would be something like.
Hot
Scorching Hot
Not so hot
Open the windows.
Cold.
Spring and Fall last about 2-3 days each.
