This Has Got To Be The Wierdest "Fall" I've Ever Remember  

Many parts of the country are benefitting from this weather boon, pyewacket, but it is due to come to an end in my area in the next few days. We have been warned to haul out the warm blankets and heavy jackets because colder weather is on the way. We have had a few really cool days and then it warmed up again. I am eager for the cool weather right now, but I'm sure that I will have had enough by January, lol. The nice weather has been a benefit for those who struggle to pay their heating bills. They were given a reprieve.

Same thing here in Hamilton...
As for the weirdest fall, I don't know. I remember warm Hallowe'ens as a child. Mind you, where I lived as a teenager, it would usually snow once before Hallowe'en, then turn warm again, or at least warmer than when it snowed.

Well I'm only a few hours west of you so it's pretty much the same here. Today was a little cooler, but not fall cool, because of some cloud cover and rain last night. I keep waiting for that crisp feeling in the air but it's still just sticky summer air. A few trees have started changing but we definitely don't have hillsides blazing with color yet. I will be so happy when/if we get fall weather. I don't care for summer or winter so I look forward to fall all year.

Yeah, I'm getting a little tired of these mid-80's temps. I'm curious to see what Halloween is going to be like. I do love the four seasons, but this year Summer is testing my patience...I want Fall, and those mid-70 temps..I want to start wearing my nice sweaters or little Fall jackets. And my jeans. And I know my job will be easier when it cools down. This humidity is nasty. But you're bet is right on....it'll probably get cold suddenly and unexpectedly. Shall we blame it all on global warming? Why not. Just got to roll with it I guess.

Hi Pye,

Yeah I live in Southern Illinois and its still in the 90's here. I think it was today, lol I dont know. I havent left the house yet!

Its so hot here that I had to turn my air back on. We have had 2 weeks of cool weather, got as low as 44 at night, and then we had 2 weeks of hot weather, back into the late 70s at night, then a week and a half of cool again, now its hot again and Ive turned the air back on as of Thursday afternoon.

Im not sure what is going on. But yes I remember last year this time it was rainy and cool. And I think toward the end of Oct last yr we had the heat on.

So its here in the Mid West too, not sure why. Our leaves have changed a wee bit but like you said they are not as bright or as many trees as it should be.

Hello pyewacket

I would like to say that we are experiencing a weird Fall as well, but unfortunately, this Fall seems a lot like last Fall. I am still wearing shorts, t shirts, and sandals every day. I still take a dip in the pool in the evenings after work. I still run the air conditioning.

Can your landlord legally tell you that? Wow, that is crazy! Today in Oklahoma it is a nice 96 degrees, and humid. I imagine it will cool down in November, but I was expecting a little chiil by now.

We are experiencing the same thing in the south. It still feels like summer. It is in the lower 90's down here. And the weatherman forecasted a cold front 3 days ago, but the weather had only dropped down to about 83 degrees. I love the fall weather and I can't wait until it gets here.

It's warm here too, but I am in the South. We stay warm in the day time until Mid December. Sweater weather up until then. But I am still sleeveless now.

the East is getting the warm weather where here where it is surpose to be warmer this time of year has dropped for the high 80 in the day time to the low 70s in the day time and we are wearing a light jacket if in the shade.
But North east about 300 to 500 miles they are getting snow.
Enjoy your warmth while ya have it for you might be in for a bad winter! dont complain about it
