    What's with this weather change?

    Yesterday, last day of summer, 92 degrees, clear and daylight until 7:40 pm. Today, first day of fall, 61 degrees, raining and almost dark at 5:20pm.

    It's called a frontal system, which we could have used two weeks ago to steer Florence out to sea. Early darkness was due to heavy thick cloud cover, though days are getting shorter in a hurry. Here, first week in December, it will be dark at 5:00 PM EST. By Christmas it will be around 5:30 before it's dark.

    We have been having typical fall weather for about a week here. Our tomatoes went from having to pick 2-3 times a week to maybe next week provided it doesn't frost by then.

    It seems to happen every year at about the same time.

    Wonderfully pleasant weather and then the wind blows, the thermometer falls, in come a few clouds that seem to stay forever.

    Then a little ground hog crawls out of its hole and things start to get warm again.

    It is all due to global wettening. The change in the atmosphere provides less protection from the sun's rays, which in turns creates more evaporation from the seas, increased clouds and increased rain. We beat the rainiest summer ever by several inches without a hurricane

    We have had snow every day since the 21st. Not accumulating more than 1/2" before melting and then reappearing, but it has me thinking of putting the studded tires on a month early. Nature's way of telling me to cool my jets.

    Maybe you should time share home exchange with some snow birds from the north.

    I know the feeling!!! Heat index here just last week was 104 degrees F. I'm very thankful for cooler temps today. It may be wet outside....but....it's much cooler and I really like "cooler" weather.
    Thanks & Happy Wood Chips,

    Here, weatherman missed it completely today. It was supposed to be in mid to upper seventies , with drizzle. Absolute sunshine and in the mid eighties instead. Front only came thru in the last hour, dropping temps.

    Please send me some “fall”. It was 97 today and the first time I jumped in the pool to cool off was about 8:30am

    Looks like we might get a quick return to summer:
