I had to dig the fleece out today and last night for once I slept with boxer pants on.... I usually sleep in shorts and t-shirt. I think I'll snuggle up tonight under the quilt.

I'll gladly share the unseasonable cold weather with you guys if you would like.... any takers? This is late September weather not Late August weather.... this has been the summer without a summer.... Throughout this summer, we DID NOT have a 90* reading!!!! :eek:

I'm dead serious... that has not happened in a long while.

Shannon - I love cooler wx and look forward to wearing my cords/sweaters and long-johns again. I know, it sounds crazy, but true. Right now I'm sick of shorts and capri's! So trade me anytime.

I am sick of hot weather too, and ofcourse hurricanes!! We will be looking forward to those lovely low 80'2, no rain and nights down in the 60's.....time to get out the warm jammies..lol!!

We'll top out above 104 most days this week, so not quite long john weather here. The air is so dry, however, that the very minute that sun sets out over the Pacific, you can bank on a fresh feel to the night air...albeit still very warm.

With September coming, we can count on temps in the 90's for highs later in the month...the real cooldown usually begins by mid to late October with November often a great month!

I really can't complain, we had a pleasant summer. Not too hot, very few days with high humidity. Which is rare for a summer in Cincinnati. Now we had the cicadas to deal with but we all miss those buggers! I miss hearing their singing. I have two maples in our backyard planted near our deck for intentional shading. We have about 30 branch tips with dead leaves. Must have been the cicadas huh? Nature's pruners they said....now I don't know if I have to cut these off with our pruner poll or will they just fall off naturally?

Bob Child did pass Crouton (who is a pig) over to the Pot Belly Stove/Front Porch crew at the other place and he was brought over here during the Great Exodus. There was indeed also an Armadillo, but I forget the name since most of the time it was Crouton who was mentioned. AZSnow can also tell everyone about Crouton.

we FINALLY had warm and muggy weather! For the last couple of days, temperatures have been in the lower to mid 80s with a heat index in the upper 80's. I actually enjoyed this weather!

I start school tomorrow (Friday) interesting start day huh? Classes normally started on Thursday (today) but I don't have tues/thurs classes.... so don't get to drive up to campus until Friday. No classes again til Wednesday! I start my internship with WGBA NBC 26 on Labor Day!!!

Shannon, we had no more than 5 days above 90° I'd bet- this has definitely not been the typical summer! Wonder what that means for the upcoming winter season........ :eek:

#330 Postby **pojo** » Sat Sep 18, 2004 12:51 pm

We still have YET to hit 90*. The 850mb isotherms have been showing 90* + for the upcoming week, we'll have to wait and see. Fun Fact....

Since June 1st- Aug 30th we had a TOTAL of 3 weekend days above 80*. Since Labor Day... every weekend was about 80*!

StormCrazyIowan · #331 Postby **StormCrazyIowan** » Sun Sep 19, 2004 12:31 pm

That's funny! It's been just mild around here... I'm not used to it, I'm used to whining about the heat! (Of course, my apartment has air so I wouldn't know the difference!) :lol:

The streak was broken... we did not reach 80* on Saturday, but we just barely squeaked out 80* on sunday.

It has been beautiful around here, but we need rain desperately!!!

wx247, I would be glad to send you about 6 to 8 inches of rain from Pittsburgh!!!!!!!!!

Fellow Porchians/Friends - I'm afraid this excellent Jim Cantore article will get lost in the shuffle over at Hurricane Hollow. You blink and there are 10 new topics sometimes!!!! Anyway, if you'd like to learn more about JC, please read it. It is sad but also inspirational. He's not just my fave OCM for forecasting abilities (and his uh, good looks) alone anymore.....LOL I admire him more than ever now.

Hi everyone,

My computer is acting up again so my presence here may be limited for the next week or so unless I can figure out why it isn't letting me connect to the internet.

WIth a chill in the air (for SOME of us anyways!) it's time to move off the porch and go inside by the PBS! See ya's there!

The Front Porch is a place to sit, shoot the breeze, talk about your day, the weather and enjoy the company of fellow weather nuts! So....come on, have a seat, put up your feet, rest a spell, have a glass of iced tea!

Ah, and a fresh breeze it is today in Houston! Breezy is the word and sunny it is. Pass me a tea please. Think I'll just catch a rest before heading up the road this evening!

I hope someone joins me out here soon. Right now it is lonely.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE!!
