I'm the same way, James. I'm so used to the heat, that anything under 70 feels cold! When it really gets cold (like 30's) I'm bundled up head to toe in hats, boots, down coat, mittens, etc! I do like to see snow once in a while and I even own snowshoes for those rare times we get enough to use them. Smiling

Mostly sunny. North wind 10 to 15 mph.

James,
This morning I love the south too, lol!

Sandy,
No snow here either and that's FINE with me!

James,
Actually, that is more perfect weather for me because I seem to have acclimated to the cooler temps already and about melted when it got close to 90° a few days ago.

Karen,
Smiling over the bundling up. I hear ya tho! I've aready worn a headband and gloves on my morning walk.

Pepper,
We begin the cool down.

It's windy already this morning, and cold!

52, breezy and cloudy. I need to get some more work done in the garden so that I can get around to burying the roses in there before it's too late.

It feels hot and muggy again, it's only 83° with a 'feels like' of 93°f but the humidity is 73%. We are supposedly getting a norte this weekend which should cool it off. It is still raining every afternoon, sometimes heavy and others just sprinkling. So, I'm watering since I can never predict what we will get.

I'm with you James, I'm a cold wimp.

Jonna,
Always wise to go ahead and water.

I didn't change to flannel sheets as it got warmer again. But I heard that by the weekend it will go back to chilly.

Lightning and wind galore as the front was moving in last night. Waking up this morning, it is currently 70F with a 28mph north wind, so it feels colder than 70. Temp is supposed to drop another degree or two before steadily climbing up to our forecasted high of 78F.

Patchy frost before 8 am. Sunny. North wind around 5 mph.

Tarev,
Yep, time to get busy, lol!

Greene,
We had mosquitoes all summer. I sure don't miss them now!

Rita,
I almost added an extra blanker last night, but managed to stay warm in spite of no furnace.

James,
I want your storm!

Pouring outside. We can use the rain but it just means I don't go out if I can help it. Of course dog has to get potty breaks but she hates the rain so will not be wanting to stay outside either.

We should have a high today of 91°f and a low of 69°f, that's kind of cool for a low. The humidity is only 52% right now so really, it's almost perfect weather.

We are supposed to get this norte this weekend which is dropping the temperatures and the humidity, it's maybe the same storm that James has now.
