Will there be an autumn?

[Frankenkubota]

Seems to me, as am avid weather watcher, that fall and spring are just fleeting memories. Or is it a case of an old man with Polly Anna memories?

I remember summer breaking in NC about 9-15 and we would go into this glorious period of dry sunny weather. The humidity quit and we would go from mid 80s in Sept to 60s in Nov and many times it was a tee shirt at Christmas. I remember the sky, blue, everywhere you looked. Carolina blue.

Now, and it痴 happening right NOW! We go from 90s and miserable to low 60s, wet, cloudy windy and feeling like winter.

Spring is similar, it seems to go from cold and wet to hot, humid and rainy over nite.

Or is it just some old man thinking about the good old days?

Maybe it's older we get the slower we become and the more we notice. :confused3:

Frost here this morning. I haven't seen frost this early in some time.

Also little frost this morning 33F.

I think your observation varies from year to year and region. Central Texas just started our fall (autumn) and it was very noticeable. Daytime was running a hot 103F in August, now sees mid 80F in day and a wonderful 58F at night. Definitely a nice time of the year to be in Texas.

With all the smoke in California I have no idea what season it may be....

In the Poconos (northeastern Pa) it is getting to the point we have summer and winter. There is about a week of spring and a week of fall.

I thought autumn was renamed campaign season...

Good time to be in Kentucky. Cool nights with sunny comfortable days. Fall can be wonderful here.

I agree with you Messmaker. I'm about ready to fire up the wood stove. It's been sunny and in the 70s all day and 58 now. Wonderful!!!!:thumbsup:

Beautiful fall weather just starting here in last few days. Sunny, dry, about 65*.
Making hay from 10:30-6pm every day. Perfect autumn weather

33F another light frost and Mrs. has her wood furnace purring.

Being that it is 2020, fall will probably be a season that is 3 days long and start on a Tuesday

I was bush hogging until dark last night (7:30 pm now) wearing a T shirt and it was getting cool. Last two nights were 51F and 52F. I thought the heat with 200% humidity was going to kill me this summer.

If you do not think today is not a preview of perfect Fall weather then bless your heart!

One of the few gifts of 2020 was an actual Spring season in the foothills too.

Trees are starting to turn in the hills around here. Soon all the leaf peeping Covids from down south will be flooding our back roads.

 

[Thomas]

3rd morning in row light frost.

 

[Frankenkubota]

We just jumped from mid 90s and humid last week to....

Forecast for this week, highs in the 59s and low 60s.

Around here, that the beginning of winter! As I said, no autumn

That used to be "summer" in Vermont when the temps got above 80.

I used to be one of those flooding the backroads.
We'd take off at dawn from Burlington, drive down to Bennington, cut east to Brattleboro, up to I89/I91 and back to Burlington. LONG drive but memorable.

I’m glad you got a spring, we did not. One day does not make a season.

I’ve lived everywhere and traveled to the places I have not lived, except Asia. No thanks.

When it’s nice brother, it’s nice. The pacific nw, imho, has the most perfect summers on the planet but, again, imho, the rest of the year is beyond miserable.

I’m just saying, things are changing, they always do.

I’m just whining about the changes.

Things in your part of the world going to brighten up soon, the leaves should start soon? Blue Ridge Parkway in the fall. I had an old stupendous jag, series 1 ragtop for those interested, no rust, books and numbers car, it’s a basket case in my older brothers garage and has been since I sold it to him. Better than the stock market!

I would take that car on a business road trip and make sure my route took me to the blue ridge parkway in the fall. If I had more than 1 customer for lunch, they had to drive! They all Loved it!
