Ouch. I reach for a jacket when the weather drops to the mid 50's. My Florida blood is still flowing through my veins, and even Atlanta weather is too cold for me. I would never survive up there.

I will have to add a post in here in January, it will seem like a heat wave then

They are saying we are supposed to get snow here as well. I guess we are already past the average first snow fall date so we have been lucky so far.

Summer for us soon..... :sweat:

We've already had 4" that didn't last long and another 4" that lasted too long, but it's almost gone. However the night temps are in the teens. We typically have snow by the time Halloween arrives.

Time for skiing.

 

[csshih]

too warm in CA still..

I hope we get a REAL winter here in NL again... It's been too long since we had one of those...

Heh come here, two and half meters of snow over winter enough for you?

 

[Flashanator]

oh yea,

Id love to have that kind of snow here.

Winter is coming?!?

I'm in Japan right now but when I left Alaska the end of September it had already been freezing the ponds for a couple of weeks and we'd had 6" of snow in the yard. It was snowing on me and freezing my fingers my last day at work, on September 30th.

Everyone keeps asking if I'm cold; definitely not! I'm sure it'll be cold when I get back just before Christmas though!

That would be so cool! I think the most snow we had here in the past few years was like two and a half centimeters.... and it only took a few hours for it to turn into mush.
We did have a few days of frost (enough to get some nice pics) tho.

 

[AvPD]

Summer for us soon..... :sweat:

Missing the greenery and bug-free temperatures already. Not the short days though.

 

[m16a]

Sadly, we still have some smoking 40s-60s weather

I want cold!!!!!

 

[nitesky]

Would someone please post a "Spring is coming" note in a few months...when we really really need it? I'll probably forget.

Read THIS, then tell me if you still think it's cool.

I just KNEW the link was going to be to a version of that. I especially love the part about shoveling the roof.

I think the dark gets me as much as the cold or snow. In the wintertime I almost always go to work in the dark and come home in the dark. When I hit the big one, I'm going to winter in South America so I always can live somewhere, where it is light more then 12 hours a day. Kind of anti-flashaholic I know.

Someone from Fairbanks posts here. I keep tabs on their weather and they already have been below 0 degrees F.
