35 degrees this am

Well, here in south Central Montana (Yellowstone/Stillwater/Carbon counties) the high today should be in the 70's and nighttime temps 40's and 50's. We've had our triple-digits, and weeks of 90's all summer, so I am thoroughly enjoying this little break.

Next week is supposed to be HOT again, but we normally have a major cold front come through the first week of September. It brings blessed rain to most areas and a skiff of snow to the high country. Afterwards we can enjoy weeks of really nice 70s - 80's temps.

I grew up in Maryland, where is was hot and terribly humid from May through October , and the winters were miserable with weeks of clouds, cold, ice and slush. I'll take Montana, thanks.

We had the 30s last week here in Vermont, and the trees are turning color already...sigh

I am not looking forward to fall and winter

Countdown to snow here in Colorado. They say Monday won't get to 70 degrees.

Hey, you're just down the road from us, maybe ten miles.

It was a little cool yesterday morning, and really made me want fall to come. I LOVE fall!

We're on the quick countdown to snow here also. It's been in the 30's on the clear nights for the last few weeks. We had frost in mid June and frost last week. It's been an aweful growing year. By the beginning of September we typically start hitting the teens at night.

Yes! Fall is coming!

Fall is my favorite season so when I woke up last week to a porch full of yellow leaves I got so excited...feels like fall.

North Carolina summers are just too humid.

freeinalaska...i've noticed that this year has been chilly up there compared to others. Should be interesting to see if winter is also colder then normal... Good luck...

That's enough now, stop it, the lot of you!

It is August 18, not November 18, so you can just stop wishing for cold weather.

Go and be about your gardening RIGHT NOW, and stop all this foolishness!

You are starting to scare me!!

Pony!

Fall is my favorite season, too. We're at about sea level and it is pleasant 70s with chilly nights. A stellar's jay was in our yard today, which means an early fall.

The leaves are falling off the birch already. It didn't seem unusually dry, either, so I'm wondering what's up.

(We're in WA)

Just to put our warm temperatures in perspective, one of my DS's called from Iraq yesterday to say it was a balmy 139.
And to think I complain about 104. Whew!

Yeah Frank, it has been a gloomy and cold summer (all two months of it). We usually have many 80 degree days and lots of sun. Last winter was the coldest is thirty years, so we will see. Neighborhood "experts" are predicting another cold one.

Can yall send some if it down to SE Ok? I have been praying for snow or something to make it cool down. Around now is when I miss Colo. LOL

Well, we moved from central Texas on July 3rd to morrow county, OH. 67-85 today. Talke to some friends in Texas yesterday and they said it was 108. I sure do miss Texas, but I do not miss the heat, fire ants, no rain and "bad" snakes. High tomorrow is supposed to be 75.

I'm having a moment remembering the winter of 04 in MA when we had 3' of snow in one night on top of lots of other snow, the drifts were so high i couldn't shovel the driveway anymore because i couldn't "throw" the snow up high enough without it coming back down on me! The kids actually jumped off the top of the swingset :baby04:

I'm already eyeing a spot in our new yard here in VA for a fire pit so we can
have atleast one sledding party and a barbecue all in one - so i'll be hoping for an unseasonably snowy winter here this year. We've already deciding where the steepest/longest ride will be on the sleds. As long as we have about 3 inches we'll sled!

Last year at the rental we were in here we had a few weeks of good sledding.

Don't worry pony - i won't start wishing for snow yet

I noticed the fields with long grass here are starting to turn towards amber.

I thank you for your kind consideration.

Pony!

Well I just came in from tucking the birds in for the night and took some chicken out of the freezer to thaw. The coolth seemed too good to waste, so I'm cooling my head off with the package of frozen chicken. LOL

Pony, I'll blow real hard and maybe some of this heat will go in your direction!

Poor Cyng! I'm sorry you're sweltering!

But I'm not too cold -- the weather is nice here!-- Just concerned that all these folks wishin' for winter are somehow going to bring it too early!

Might as well enjoy what we have, while we have it, instead of wishing and hoping for something that will get here sooner or later.

Hopefully later.

Pony!

What ever happened to global warming???? I hope we have a good hard winter as the ticks were horrible this year!!!

I lived in south Louisiana most of my life, so long hot summers I'm used to. But I just don't know how much longer I can keep from goin' crazy with NO RAIN ... and I do mean NO RAIN!

We had about 3/4 of an inch in our rain guage on the July 4th weekend and almost 1/2 inch about a week ago ... that's IT for the summer. Our water bill is outrageous just keeping the potted plants, veggie garden (HA!) and beds alive! The grass is some brown, crunchy stuff we walk on!

I'm feelin' a little panicky when I think how little water we get here. In our neighborhood there are many, many trees and bushes that are dying ... live oaks, crepe myrtles, mulberries ... seems like we may be living in a desert soon.

There ARE green lawns here ... hard to imagine what the water bills must be for those who have them.

Ah well! That's my rant. Me? I don't care if it's hot or cold, I just want some WET!
