can you believe the cold weather is already right around the corner?

im super bummed about it.

i live in northern ohio and we didnt really have much of a summer.

it didnt start to actually get nice til about mid july.

we got loads of rain too. much more than usual.
this is like the last decent month, at least up here.

by halloween it is usually pretty damn cold in the evenings.

the snow will be here before we know it.

Those are good news for me. I just can't take this summer no more. Soon will be time to switch the beer for wine.

I live in Maryland, cold weather is here. We've had weather so cool due to rain I guess, but jackets have been needed for at least a week.

I don't care much for cold weather. I usually head down to the Keys or Padre, Is. Texas, after Halloween; finances permitting.
But winters here in the high desert, Rio Grande valley are very mild.

Yes

Human nature is funny, we complain about the cold weather, then it warms up and we complain about the hot weather, it a never ending cycle were mother nature cant make us all happy, I love the 4 seasons, and yes after awhile I am guilty as well, but I make the best of all seasons.

I guess no matter were one lives there will always be complaints, from its to hot, its to cold, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, typhoons, wildfires etc.

The best quote I heard from some old man was " The day we are born is the day that we start to die so live life to its fullest the best way you can"

I don't think the cold weather ever left here

I remember when I was a kid in the 80s I loved the weather back then, summers were beautiful winters were fun , never too cold, never way to hot.my favorite season was the summer growing up , since I was in my early 20s fall has been my favorite season. but over the last many eyars now the weather has been unpredictable more so recently, the weather has been changing for years now but these recent years especially with the summers being so bad with the heat and humidity has been ridiculous,this past winter was so horrible I live in the north east, the snow was like nothing I have ever experienced, it went from being so cold and so fridgid to complete white outs, the snow just kept coming, the towering snow in my area was so terrible you couldn't drive in the streets even when it stopped, there was no where to put it, they would plow and after the first 2 storms they had to bring in snow melting trucks from other places and they had to bring in big trucks to remove it from the city neighborhoods. it was like nothing I ever seen just recently in late july the piles the trucks made from removing it from the streets and putting it in areas to store it just recently finished melting. and this summer the weather has been putrid because of heat and humidity. such humidity it was hard to breath just sitting out in it after a few minutes, and when ya sat in the sun forget it, I could feel the suns rays after just a few minutes, it wasn't nice and warm it burned so bad just after a few minutes I had to get out of the sun, and by burned I mean after I was in the sun doing yard work for about 40 minutes I had welts on my shoulders and upper chest area from the sun, I have never had this is use to be a sun tanning beach bum, until recently I haven't gone to the beaches cause the suns rays are so brutal I couldn't stand it. not to mention the storms wow I have seen recently surrounding cities in my state have had tornado threats and this summer few days ago actually there was such severe thunder and lightning. the wind started pulling leaves and big branches off the trees, the wind swirled the leaves in the air in circles it was so windy nothing outside stayed in its place when it started everything got blown away and then the hail started and we got tornado watches, I have never even thought it was possible to get them here but when the hail started it was cold , they were the size of half golf balls, lasted about 10 minutes, then the rain swirled in circles and after 40 minutes of this all together it got sunny out while it rained it was pretty in the end but everyone was so very freaked out during this time,..something bad is coming,and by that I mean, weather is getting worse each year. it worries me for my kids sake. thank you for the post

Our local weatherman had a blog about this recently.

Well when you factor in the rounding that goes no in the weather world…i.e. a set of numbers that average out to 88.5° and it’s rounded up to 89°…beginning tomorrow the average low temperatures start a slow decline…and as a result the average overall for KC temperatures follow suit. This decline continues into the 3rd week of January…so as the title of the blog says…it’s all downhill from here. For some that’s a good thing…for others its depressing. It is what it is when it comes to the weather world though…

On that subject, we’ve also technically past the days when the high temperature of 90° or higher are most likely. In data going back to the late 1880s…July 27th and 28th represent the 2 days where highs of 90°+ are most likely (71 times each). July 26 (70 times) and August 3rd (69 times). So on that note…it’s all down hill. Interesting enough though while that may be the case, August, on average, only has 1 less 90° day than July does (14 vs 13). Overall though we average 41 days with highs 90° or above. So far this year we’ve been 90° or above 18 times…average through July is 22 times…so we still have work to do. My feeling though, as I wrote a few weeks ago, is that we won’t get there.

We've had some nasty heat indices this year thanks to all the rain, but we've never hit triple digit heat, not really. And now, as every day passes, the odds that we'll hit it go down. That doesn't mean we won't have some hot days left. We usually do have at least one strong heat wave doing into the fall days. But so far, it's been the higher humidities on top of normal or slightly below temps that have been our summer here.

Yay that means summer is coming my way. The daylight is already getting longer.

*fingers in ears*

Over the last few years,I've noticed that sunlight burns me where it never used to.Prickling in.my skin that has become really harsh.I've read that Fluor compounds have reduced the armosphere's ability to absorb UV radiation,however,I've read nothing that could back this up.

Just for the record,I get REALLY brown.Never have sunburn and never use sun cream.Now I rarely go out into sunlight.I'm still tanned,though.

thank you for the info..good read. I haven't gone out much either this summer..and I have had to edit this 2 times because I keep mixing up the reply. I thought I was hitting reply to another post and it went to this one., so when I wrote thanks for the info good read I was being sarcastic to another post. sorry for the mix -up

Summer is only half over... There is still the REST of summer and about half of the fall before it'll start getting cold out.

What? I live in Maryland too and I haven't worn a jacket since like April or March. It may dip down to like the low seventies at night time, but that isn't "jacket weather". At least not to me. I still wear sandals in that weather. Do you live in Cumberland or something?

are you asking me where I live cause I don't live in Maryland, oops sorry thought you were asking me im new to this so im still getting use to the comments and stuff. sorry for the mix -up, didn't see the comment about the person who lived in Maryland..have a good day

That sucks. Should move further south if you want longer warm weather.

Eagerly awaiting autumn & winter here in MI. Summer was apparently milder here, but hell if I know -- for many years prior, I was broiling in Tampa. THIS was a nice summer I could do annually, save for the couple of heatwave days. That was like being stuck in FL with no A/C (BTDT, it's hell)

I had my first taste of true autumn last year when we moved up here, the changing of the leaves is well worth "jacket weather". Although I don't call it jacket weather even as a Floridian (that's just weenie speak in the south) It's still tank tops & short weather to me! Even this supposedly harsh winter we had up here wasn't scary, nor was it particularly harsh according to locals. -20 with the windchill again? Bring it.
