Let us talk about the weather, shall we?
I got two weeks of hot weather in August. That was it. Other than that its been April weather from April to October.

I did not. I got plenty of kale and onions and the garlic did well, and I've got parsnips and turnips, but the hot weather veggies just sulked. Its a very Russian garden this year.

Kevin, Sue and Books are Cubs fans too.
The farmers are growing their vegetables in the same weather as I am. Everybody had trouble. Luckily some of them have greenhouses, which helps.
That will sure put a damper on the crop, cold wet weather will do that though.Here's hoping that you have a mild winter to help offset your summer.
It's finally getting chilly here in SoCal. I broke out my hoodie for work. Yay!
But it's supposed to be in the 80's this weekend. Grrrr!
It was actually warm here today, and as of 7p.m it's still warm... nice cool/warm wind (does that make sense?) I think it was around 65 but it felt a little warmer than that..
Really, really windy out there. And rainy, off and on. I got some upper body exercise during my walk fighting with my umbrella!
Excuse me, I have to go comb my hair now...
Really windy here, too....supposed to be a beautiful weekend, low sixties, probably the last great autumn weekend...
It's everything here, today. It was pouring while I was getting ready for work, sunny and blue skies as I walked to the bus stop, overcast and drizzly from the bus to the office.
Chance of thunderstorms, they're saying...
We happily don't have wind here for once. Nice clear blue skies, 75 degrees. Big change from last week.
Way, way warm for late November in Wisconsin. 50 this morning when I was out running. I don't see any high lower then the upper thirties for the next ten days, either.
I still go out and get the paper barefoot. There were a lot of people in shorts this weekend to. Really weird for WI.
We're not supposed to see sun all week. I'm checking three different weather reports, to make sure I can get into and out of everyplace. I'm terrified of getting stuck in Toronto the day before I'm supposed to fly out of DC. I don't mind continuous travel, but isolated trips set up back to back make me nervous.
Cloudy rainy and cold here, too. It's like walking through clouds outside, that misty wetness that an umbrella can't protect you from.
Whoo! Minus 4? I think we hit lows in the mid-twenties here. But, like Larry, we've got some wind coming today...wonder when they'll start reporting wind chill...
The wind in Omaha is an evil force. It greets me every morning when I walk out the front door this time of year. It stings. It bites. It blows.
We finally received our first measurable snow fall, about 2". Now to get my winter driving patience back.
Two days of temperatures above 20 and now we're back down in the teens, with a foot of snow on the ground and snow in the forecast for the next two days. Winter wonderland, anyone?
Its going to be "really cold" tonight. 44 and raining. Bwahahahaha!!!]
Back in New York today's HIGH was 33. Bwahahahahaha!!!
Yes, this looks to be our first real winter week...a little snow tomorrow and Tuesday, a lot later in the week, and then highs in the teens by Thursday...ah...welcome, worthy foe of winter...Buns isn't missing that NY weather, eh? She's almost giddy:)
That's right people, I am not wearing long underwear, two layers of wool, and a hat - indoors - while I figure out what to sell to pay the fuel oil company this time. Neener neener fuel oil company!
What's heat tape?I let out my dogs at 2:45AM this morning and I think they saw snow for the first time. They didn't look particularly alarmed...they sniffed at the falling flakes and pushed their noses along the ground. They also took a little longer outside than usual because they were trying to figure out what was up, I think. And I was reminded that black dogs covered with snow are a beautiful sight.
What state are you in again, RA? Who else is going to be affected by this giant, pink, schlong-shaped storm?
I'm watching out my office window right now. I think everyone will be gone out of here by noon. I'm in the lower left part of the pink. RA and Jim are in the top right. Looks like some pink and purple over the Front Range, too.
