Dunno where you live..but it is at least 18 degrees here in England..the warmest October on record...

All the clothing shops are moaning because no-one is buying big coats or jumpers...

18 would be below freezing where he lives. For some reason the US still does F for temps.

18 would be about 64F.
 
Good afternoon everyone.
We are having a cold rain today and more rain forecast for tomorrow.
A dreary weekend for sure but better than snow.
It's time to get winter tires on, all-season are not good for our weather.
Had 12 children stop in for Halloween treats last evening. They were all little
ones accompanied by parents.
It was interesting to see the different costumes. :)
 
LOL, ronaldj...you're a Troll! Was that an accident of birth or did you actually choose to be one? If a choice, you could have chosen to be a Yooper instead and could have been isolated, insulated and learned to talk funny (this public service announcement from a native Yooper).

Anyway, good morning, folks. No frost here last night but it did get down to 34F. Brrr. Yesterday was a nasty, gloomy, windy day...just like winter. I don't like winter days.
 
Hello and good morning everyone here in this awesome forum. Looks like a beautiful day, I am going to have this coffee then go to church. What better way to celebrate "getting my hour back". I wish they would just leave that alone.

My first husband was a Yooper. My second son was born in St. Ignace.
 
And did the first husband talk funny? LOL

There aren't very many Yoopers left. I think the entire population of the UP these days is less than 300,000. When my mother was growing up, my hometown had a population of more than 30,000. When I was growing up, it was down to around 15,000. Now there are fewer than 5,000.

Aye, he did. One word I noticed was he said chimley instead of chimney. He was working in Plymouth for the summer. But he decided after we'd been married about a year that he wanted to go to where his family and friends were - St. Ignace - population 3,000. Lived there 4 years.
 
Twixie, a Yooper is a person who's from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan...UP...Yooper. People who are from the lower peninsula are called trolls because they live "below" the bridge.

My ex also said everyone called the lower peninsula 'down below' because it was like hell.

I wasn't crazy about living St. Ignace even though it was surrounded by the beautiful lakes. Everybody knew your business and all anybody did in winter, aside from snowmobile, was get drunk in the bars.
 
Ameriscot...that's not limited to St. Ignace. That's the entertainment in the UP...year 'round...drink and gossip. In winter, it's sNOwmobiles; in summer, it's 4-wheelers.
 
LOL...nice weather. We never planned for nice weather; we just had to be ready in case it happened. When I was a kid, I liked ice skating. After I got older, I preferred cross-country skiing.

I was raised in MI, MA and FL so had a variety of weather. I remember very hot summers in St. Ignace and biting black flies, and winters that seemed to last 9 months. When I got divorced I took the kids and moved back to SE Michigan. Then much later headed to TN for pleasant winters. :)
