Summer in October

[barkley]

we barely hit the low 50's today. it will be in the low 30's tonight. we had snow this past weekend.

where did fall go????

 

[PollyannaMom]

Climate change is real.

Absolutely!

We hit our high temp around 6:00am. It was a weird day.

I use weather fluctuations as an example to students of why averages are not always a reliable source of information. But honestly, it's scary what complete havoc can really be behind it.

 

[Wendy31]

I was wrong.

DH informed me that we hit 100 today.

 

[Bamaclan4]

We have had record breaking temps the past 3 days in a row. 100,98,@98.

 

[ronandannette]

It's currently 93F in northern Delaware. Already broke the record for the date of 88F. It might even rise another degree or two.

I should have taken off and gone to the beach.

If by "Summer in October" you mean "Winter in September" then yeah, I can relate.

It broke 90 here in IN today. Sooooooo tired of Summer the sequel.

 

[low-key]

Im getting sick of this 90 degree ****

 

[BlueStarryHat]

Yep it’s nice. 95 here in south jersey. Humidity low so it doesn’t feel like a summer 95. Feels like 99

That was my daytime high just outside of Philly in South Jersey, too. I went out to get the mail and that was that. Right back into the central air. Now it's nearing 10:30 at night and the temps are quickly falling. Looking forward to some real Autumn weather tomorrow and over the weekend.

But you always go to Vegas where it’s hot.

80's here but muggy (south Ohio). I'll be happy if I finally get a mild Halloween with no rain.

90’s in October suck.

No...this sucks...taken the year before we left Pennsylvania. That was nearly 3' of snow (we had two blizzards in a week). No thanks, I'm good.

I live in PA. Snow is way better than 90s in October.

Can't agree with you there. There's nothing fun about shoveling feet of snow in -10 degree wind chills, or getting salt all over your car, or having your face go numb. If you're in eastern PA, perhaps you remember the Halloween snow storm about 5 or 6 years ago. That caused us to lose power, water, sewer for a week. No, not fun. I'll take my 97 degree high today and be quite happy with it.

I for one am hoping for a substantial snow storm or two this winter.
On a Thursday evening/Friday morning....after I've been to the grocery/liquor store and brought a big supply of firewood up from the barn

Interestingly, here in the (far) North, the colder it gets the less snow we get. A big dump of snow almost always happens at temperatures just at or below freezing. It was actually just a little above 0C for the first two days of our recent snowpocalypse, which was good because a lot of it melted as it fell.

I will be right over Michigan's temps are falling fast and that's why they call it fall around here. Has nothing to do with the fifty billion leaves that will be in our yard in a couple of weeks.

Our leaves are already down. The trees shed them in summer drought.

It's currently 97* with a 'feels like' temp of 100* in Memphis, TN. It's been like this for months. I'm ready for a cold winter.

96 here. COOLING TREND!!! COOLING TREND!!!!

October 29, 2011. Almost 8 years ago. The only measurable October snow in my memory. We got about four inches of wet sloppy snow, but I know the Philly area and north got much more. Back around 1980 there was a dusting of snow on the ground when I woke up about October 15, but it quickly disappeared.


Exactly a year later, October 29, 2012 was Superstorm Sandy.

I’ll take the crisp falls and cold winters every day for the rest of my life. Those who love the heat and humidity can deal with the inevitable rise in mosquito-borne illnesses. Deal?

We certainly could use a good storm or two here. Kill all the yellow jacket queens. Too many survived last year.

My dd was a junior in high school that year and Homecoming had to be cancelled because of the snow. That was a GREAT year because we got tons more snow in the winter.

I don't think there is anything fun about sweating to death while walking to my car. I'd rather shovel.
