It's a pretty chilly stretch here too. Single digits with negative windchills. At least it's been sunny!

 

[StarHalo]

Unfairly awesome weather on the West Coast, so I'm fixing the portrait of Cap (you need a new telephoto lens..)

 

[Capolini]

^^^^^ lol! Good JOB EDITING!

I do not even have a telephoto lens! That was w/ a 2006 Canon Elura 100 camcorder!

Three below zero right now, and the wind was howlin' earlier. Mother Nature's reminder that it's still winter here.

 

[MrJino]

I envy some of you, you may think I'm crazy though.

This week is has been high 80s to low 90s. We still have a month of winter left.

I'm starting to hate cali weather, we used to have seasons here.

Balmy 25 here in RVA while awaiting snow from the other side of the mountains...it's a Minnesota system, which usually fizzle out by the time it reaches I-95.

We had Puxatawnee Phil burgers last night to celebrate the ground hog getting it wrong again.

Simply in the middle of "not summer" here in North Texas - figures I scrounged some firewood (or more precisely: plywood scraps from the makerspace CNC router) and it's now kind of warm. One does occasionally catch a glimpse of the official emblem of what the locals call winter - a vacant lot with barren scrub trees adorned by at least one plastic shopping bag fluttering in the breeze.

So in the final weeks of August when the DFW mercury is normally pushing towards the melting points of some of the lighter metals (Phosphorus at 111F it occasionally exceeds, Potassium it can aspire to at 146F, Sodium will hopefully remain out of reach at 208F), air temperatures are disappointing the region's few dedicated fans of heat and humidity. It's been as low as 77F lately - temperatures not usually seen until September at the earliest - and the rain has been unusually substantial. I may yet consume that meager stock of firewood this year.

We had 48° this morning when I walked my dogs. It was 90 plus with crazy humidity just last week. Fall's on it's way. :)

Except for today it rained pretty much a week straight last week. Not surprising the temperature dropped. Before the rain it was 100 Fahrenheit or above since the middle of summer.

If it's raining, it cant be cold :)
Around 10C or 50F here now. Not too hot, not too cold :)

 

[jorn]

NOOOOO! Winter is coming....Fresh snow on the peaks around the area...Had to scrape the ice of the windows this morning. I dont like it at all... If you wonder what "faen" means, well it's one of Lucifers many names :)

 

[Newlumen]

Its good right. We could use more of turbo and use flashlight as a portable heater.

 

[jorn]

Depends on if you like daylight or not. Here winters are dark and cold. There are some months where we dont see the sun at all. Yes it's flashlight season, but i can be depressive with no daylight at all in that period.

It's not good for a man to live too far north, or too far south. :shakehead

I think its better with "too cold" than "too hot". If its too cold, you can put more clothes on. Too hot, and only a airconditener can help me.

Heat, especially the humidity is just miserable. It's finally ending here starting tomorrow...for good.

I love being out in the cold for backpacking or whatever. In addition to more clothing, you can do some physical activity to warm up, hang out by a fire, use a heater or handwarmers, etc. I hate when people say "find water" in the summer. OK, so I'm going to jump in a river, then what? Walk around wet, or dry off and go back to square one? Stupid.

 

[blah9]

Yeah I completely agree with you two. Even for people who are always cold there is a threshold at some point where they will also get too hot. And when that happens they are in the same boat.

No, I don't wonder :crackup:
