What's the temperature where you are???

Not fast enough! Mid Atlantic New Jersey.

I'll second that West central New Jersey.

Me too, neighbor ... Northeastern Maryland.

There's supposed to be a rhythm to the seasons. When I first moved here it was only June, July, and August that were horribly hot. It'd start getting hot and dry in May and worse in June and then in July it'd turn humid and just when you thought you couldn't stand it anymore - bam! The monsoon storms hit. Regularly, like around 4:00 in the afternoon nearly every day until September. They broke up all the heat and put on a spectacular lightning show, too. I'd never seen anything like it.

There were such huge downpours that the entire region would flood, so everyone would just stay put for a while until the thirsty desert soaked up all the water which happened pretty quickly. If that meant you were stuck at church or the dentist's office or the grocery store for an hour until the waters receded, that's where you stayed.

That's a 13.5' underpass. People would get out kayaks and inflatable rafts and things and paddle around and have some fun.

Fast forward to today: it's 90F in March, the storms skirt us to go east into New Mexico instead, and it's 85F on Christmas.

Doncha just love "fake" global warming and water-table depletion?

Nooooo! March is coming so fast!

It's still only October or maybe early November in my head

It is 61 at 1:46 (and supposed to reach 78 tomorrow). -took time out to play a quick game of fetch the ball with the dog. Unreal. There are STILL roses and autumn sage in bloom.
Need. Winter. Weather.

 

[2 Acres]

Currently 27°F while feeling like 13°F with 72% humidity and 19°F dew point and W winds at 20mph.

Overcast skies tonight and windy with a low of 13°F and W winds at 20-30mph with higher gusts being possible.

We are under a special weather advisory from 3pm cst today until 1am cst tomorrow, due to plummeting temperatures from 30-40°F down to 10-20°F. and high gusts of WNW winds at 40-45mph and really low wind chills of 0-10 below zero.

The birdies and I woke up to 19 degrees this morning.

I wish it were still October or November. I have a five-month to-do list and I still haven't crossed off everything from October and November.

I feel like I haven't crossed ANYTHING off my list for months
