Summer in October

[disneychrista]

We’re have rollercoaster weather. It can be 90 one day and 70 the next. We are 70 today and back up to 90’s for the weekend.

Loving the 70’s.

63 degrees, nice and cool today. Might get up to 65, but our Channel 6 meteorologist doubts it. It's overcast and chilly, my favorite. I'm sitting here in my flannel jammies with a hot mug of coffee enjoying the day.

What a difference 24 hours make! It's cool, drizzly and cloudy out. Mid 60's maybe?

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.

Wow, was that really 2011? Didn't think it was that long ago. We were living about 15 miles south of Allentown, so we were in the far NW suburbs of Philly. I don't remember exactly how much snow we got, but it was something like 8-10". It brought power lines and trees down EVERYWHERE in my area. We had to leave home that night, and it was a scary adventure. Roads snow covered and trees fallen across them everywhere. We stayed in a hotel for 2 nights, then went back home. Our house was on a well and septic system, so we had nothing. We went to the YMCA to shower, drove to Wal-Mart for bathroom breaks, cooked everything on the grill outside. The kids, who were pretty young at the time, used glow sticks as night lights. I had a small gas generator, but it wasn't enough to power much, just a few drop lights. It was kinda fun in a "camping" sort of way, but we were quite happy when the power came back on. Living like that for 4 days was getting old.

We had 93 yesterday and today it’s 60 and damp. I want to put the heat on but won’t yet. I’ll take 93 over this

99 today!

It's supposed to be "cooler" on Saturday & only reach the high 80s.
