The only trees with brown leaves are dead from the heat, and they probably will be joined by some more before our first subtorrid hour of the fourth quarter.
We don’t really get a true fall where I live. The temps stay at a high of 80° until November, and then our “winter” comes, which is like a bunch of rainy sad fall-ish days when everything is overcast and cool. I try to trick myself by keeping the windows open at night and cooling the house into the 60s, so at least the mornings feel like fall.
Awful-I live in Florida-the new shit hole capital of the world where Herr Fuhrer aka Gov DeDumbass is trying to make it unlivable for both visitors and residents alike.
@Felton10 I have to drive to Canaveral in late February. I am contemplating doing that via Valdosta instead of Pensacola to minimize the mileage in risky environs.
@phendrick Most of my clients are in the DC area from where I came from. At our age, it would too much effort to find someplace new to move. I’m not going to just grin and bear it-every chance I get I will enlighten those who do not live here about the awful governor we have and the worse things he has done to our once beautiful state to appeal to the MAGAnut crowd and move farther to the right of Trump.
The rest of the country got massively hot this year, and we didn’t. This has been the coldest year (and the most rain) I can remember in Southern California since 1999. It’s usually in the 80s in September and it’s in the low 70s. I keep hoping for a heat wave, the rest of the country should have some to spare, right?
@Fuzzalini Come on over to Texas and grab as much heat as you can lug off, we’ve got plenty! Free Senator with any gas purchase while you’re here! (Nobody ever takes up on that one, dammit.)
@OnionSoup That’s our predicted end temperature for today, also. The LOW end. But the high is only going to be in the mid-90’s for SC Texas, so I guess that is “autumnal” also. It’s been a week or so since we topped 100. Even a small chance for rain today. (It should only take about 2 inches of rainfall today to get us out of our immediate “drought” condition and maybe lift the burn ban we’ve had for most of the summer. People with {BBQs/BBQ pits} have been ignoring that and a few even toasted their residences some.)
Celebrating by having dug out my umbrella. Only took me 15 minutes to remember where I had last left it! [Wonder why it smells like mold/mildew? I’ll change that to the Lysol spray bouquet.]
Not very ever since I cleaned up all the trip hazards in my house.
The rain started this weekend. Frankly I’ve been looking forward to it. I don’t know why but I like rain.
The mornings are fall-y, but afternoon is summer-y. The leaves are barely beginning to turn. Some due to the dryness…

The weather is (starting to cool off to mid-70s) but the vibe is still very much beach town.

@Felton10
If you find it is all that bad, why are you still there?
I believe you’ve said most of your clients were online, anyway.

MN - Starting to get wonderful leaf color. Daylight getting less.

Pretty darn autumnal here. High is only getting up to 76F today. Celebrating by wearing a turtleneck T-shirt to welcome in the cold weather.
