It is in the 60's suppose to reach 80 but do not belive it will. Had one heck of a lighting and wind storm around 11:30 last night. Blew a hugh spruce tree over last night, and hailed. I turned the heat on just now, just came in and it is cool in here. But all things considered, outside of the limbs and leaves all over the yard, not to bad.

Whew! I could never handle living in Florida! Visited the Miami Beach area when I was young, in the summertime, and it was too much for me even back then.

About 6 months out of the year, I couldn't dream of living anywhere else. I used to love calling my friends up during the winter and having a chat about weather. For the most part, I don't might the temps, just sometimes it's more of too much of a good thing especially when we go from one extreme to another like the storms and terrible humidity. But winter till late spring I:love_heart: this place as far as the weather goes. To deal with the days that get a little overbearing on occasion is worth it. Late Nov-April, I will be sitting back looking at the snows sweeping other parts of the nation and sipping an ice tea. :sunglass: but till then, I'll be my old cranky self and bioch like the rest of people that are never satisfied. :D Presently I'm in talks again about moving closer to my daughter if she changes her location, I refuse to move back to the town she's in now in NC.
 
It`s 67 degrees here right now (10:5 am) and supposed to get into the mid-80s. But tomorrow night we are supposed to get RAIN-and it`s supposed to continue for a few days! I sure hope so!
 
Mrs. Robinson those temps sound sounds perfect great weather to be out and about. I can't wait till temps drop to the 70's during the daytime here.

A lovely 88*F forecast for tonight 74*F and thunderstorms.
 
Hard rain that hasn't stopped for the last 24 hours and forecast to last another 24 hours. Pitch black now at 7.30pm, and temps at about 56 degrees..all the lanes are flooded.
 
Where I am is considered the Banana Belt of Canada. We still have not had a frost yet but have had the furnace on twice for an hour in the morning. Most winters here are mild....last year was the exception which I hope we never have to repeat.
 
Where I live is on top of Lake Huron and the weather is a bit colder than southern Ontario..
Naturally we have had snow but it didn't stay on the ground..
The furnace was put on about the end of August.. I put it on 70f and leave it there 24/7 .. Electric forced hot air.. As the weather gets colder, I will increase the demand and leave it .. I NEVER lower the demand at night !!!
The electric blanket is on our bed for the past month..
Frost came around the middle of August ....

Need I say more?? Life up here is just glorious and we love it..
We like breathing air that hasn't been breathed before...
 
I'm thinking it was around 6 am it was closer to 10 and near dark as night outside. Still storming from last night, I can hear the bursting thunder, lightening sure to follow, likely will have several power surges throughout the day. Sigh Nasty, nasty weather for the next few days due to tropical storms, hurricanes out in the seas passing the coast.
 
Dreary and rainy for the last 3 days, but not cold.. in the 60's. It SOOOOOO looks like autumn now.. Trees are turning or already turned.. Burning leaf smell.. When we go out to our other house I know the combines will be in full swing and grain will be brought in to the grain dryers... The whirrrr of those dryers means fall..
 
Here in west Scotland it is currently 6.30pm and 11c/52f. Today was sunny but windy which made it feel very cold. Due to our location on a sea loch, mountains and the Gulf Stream our winters are relatively mild with little or no snow.

Weather here on the southernmost tip of Cumbria has been similar to yours, Ameriscot. And it seems like we have similar winters, if we do get snow it is usually a case of here today, gone tomorrow.

Last winter it only snowed once and didn't even stay an entire day.
 
In Paso Robles, CA yesterday it was about 92 and today it's suppose to be about 72. Leaves not turning color and it looks like fall will be a bit late this year. Sunny and nice so I can't complain.
 
Right now it's 16 F degrees, with a thin layer of snow on the ground. The cold front moved in quickly and temps dropped rapidly, the intense high winds were a warning early on in the day. First day I had to wear a winter jacket and wool hat in the park. :winter1:
 
Today I could wear a long sleeve cotton Tee. Before today, it was short sleeves with light weight caprees(SP)9.It is suppose to turn cold Thur. As soon as my 3 yr old grand daughter teaches me how to transfer my I-phone pictures to my I-pad or computer, I will send you a picture of my flowers. I grow pansies in the winter bc the weather is mild enough. We sometimes get snow (1 inch or so) and it never last longer than a day. We did have to wear jackets all winter last year.

Having lived for years on the Prairies (-40F plus wind chill in winter) I now live on an island off the west coast of Canada. We have a weather warning out today that we will have extremely cold weather for the next few days - it will get down below freezing overnight! I have taken a screenshot of the warning to send to my kids who are still in the frozen Prairies - freezing is a balmy day for them at this time of year.
 
Sometimes a sweater may be appropriate for a few minutes, but still sleaveless weather here today, but the past week temps have dropped as low as 56. Right now at 8:11 pm it's 62 degrees F
 
In the 50's here at 8:45PM. Winds blowing. Supposed to rain in the morning and have 20-30's by Thursday!
