10. Nice breeze, though. Just put on your warm stuff...

I'm about ready to turn my boat upside down, store the outboard and all the rest in the basement, and park the boat outside for the Winter. Uff da!

7. Yesterday our high in the DFW area was about 63 degrees.

Average high should be about 83 degrees. The good news is that we have had a lot of rain and should end up with a beautiful Autumn. Normally our leaves just turn brown from the drought.

8. give it a few days and it could be hot again - there's no telling what

the weather will do nowadays

here in K.W. we are still in deep summer mode and will be for the next 5 days, so says Weather Underground.

hope you all warm up again and have a nice Fall.

12. Let's trade, it's 92 in Orlando right now and it's muggy out...

At least to me it is.
My AC has been running non-stop and yes it's sunny but who cares?
It's too hot out to enjoy it.

Tuesday of last week I woke up at 5:30 am and I stepped out on my deck and it was 58 degrees out.
I thought I was dreaming it was so beautiful out.
Next day it was 89 out.

I'm ready for some 60's and 70's.

13. gladly I could get used to 92 year round

infact, I would blossom

I think I am one of those people that get depressed when it is cold and cloudy

I need warmth and sun

18. here on the left coast it's gonna hit 92 today.

and tomorrow, and the next day. This is a bit much. Usually by Sept 30 we've had our cold front, check, then the highs go to 83 lows of 70 but this year is unique. I live on the Pinellas Peninsula and the highs are just more than I remember for such a long period of time.

16. Cool, foggy, drizzling today and yesterday AM in the San Fernando Valley.

You want weird, that's definitely weird. It's October, not June. Blast furnace heat and wind is more typical for us right about now.

Not that I'm complaining, of course......

4 inches so far. We still have fields with corn and sugar beets in them. But our Newfies (newfoundland dogs) love the weather!

OH yeah this is SW Nebraska Panhandle.

21. Your city might show up on Drudge

As evidence against global warming. He's currently highlighting cases of unusually early cold.

22. Sounds wonderful to me.

I'm in Raleigh where it's been 70s and 80s -- still getting bee stings and mosquito bites while attempting yard work. I want it to FREEZE.
