Anyone else so ready for fall?

[NHSparky]

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.

[Eupher]

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!!

Amen to that.

[Wineslob]

BEG, you don't get fall, you get on fire or not on fire.

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.

[Texacon]

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.

And Texas would give you 100 degrees if you would come back dear!

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.

[Chris_]

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...



 

[Eupher]

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. 

[NHSparky]

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.

[longview]

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?

[Carl]

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

MUD.

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.
