Dayuuummmnn, you and I are polar opposites - I would gladly take 50 (the temp I keep my sleeping quarters at, during the 8-month summers here - keep it at mid 40s during the 1.5 month "winter") over 90 every day of the year if I could.

KC, you and your cooler temps suck biggly, Bro! Was mid-upper 90s here today, and high humidity (aka - totally sucked azz and ballz, as usual)!

Agree with Rk, we keep bedroom temperature cold, have a whole house fan that we run deep into November. Down comforter, a blanket, and shared bodies to stay warm. Room air very cold and we sleep sound. I could take high heat in until my 50's but now prefer colder weather. Cannot sleep in heat or worse humidity. So far a mild summer for North East San Diego county....but fully expect real heat until a few weeks after halloween

Halloween is really the cut off for us isn't it? As a kid, I remember some years sweating like hell under costumes but some of those years, we would freeze out asses off. We want on vacation to Asia for 6 weeks this summer to Northern China and worked our way down south and end in Bali. By southern China, the heat and Humidity was kicking our asses. By Bali, the heat was just too much and my wife and kids were so beat by that Humidity, she decided stayed in the hotel and didn't even get into the water. I think its age. We keep out bedrooms pretty cold throughout the year. Its normally 70-73 down there without AC. Like you guys, down comforter and a mid weight blanket and we are happy

I think we've lucked out in SoCal so far this year (haven't used a heater or AC for mostly four months now). We've had some warm weather but not scorching, long episodes. Now temps are 5 to 15 degrees below normal and seem to remain that way for a while according to the forecasts. Plus we've had a really mild fire season so far - knock on wood. If this indicates a trend for this year, I'm wondering if the winter will be a cool one.

I hope we have a nice winter because I have this house wide open. After demo, the "wife" decided to change the overall design. Plans are back in the city. House will remain open for another 2 months awaiting for the city to do their thing.

oh, I like it cold when I sleep also, but outside temps below 60 suck! I hate wearing anything more than a t-shirt/shorts outside!

Oh, not my wife. Thank goodness.

I have been beating on them about preserving the old growth quarter swan Oak floor throughout the house (about 2000 sq' of it) about damage from the potential rain. Home owner's wife says," Its OK, we can install new flooring afterward." I held hands to my face almost ripping it off. What a waste. So sad. So, not my pig, not my farm. Way it goes.

My little weather station said it got down to 37 early this AM (SoCal). I don't ever remember it being that cool at this time of the year. Going to get up to the low 80's. I still have some weed whacking to do, so today should be good for that.

Well, Mammoth Mt. got the first snow of the season, yesterday. It's not even officially Fall yet.

somewhat true here but now I can bring out the stellar telescope and put the solar scope away.
