Wife and I took the GS out for a ride, and to have some dinner yesterday, late afternoon. We saw white caps on Jordan lake due to the gusty winds, and while crossing the bridge on the Fearington rd. causeway, we got blown to the right of center pretty far. We got home before sundown, so it wasn't too cold, but certainly colder than when we left the house at 2:30...

This morning, I went down to the basement and made a fire in the woodstove. Temps outside are still in the high 30's, and will barely get out of the 40's by afternoon.

True though, it was a good run, and a few more days of moderate temps on the way, but I believe that by late December, or January, it'll be st00pid cold.

Woke up to the first covering of snow this morning and 25 degrees (72 and t-shirt weather all day Friday).

It's about time!
I hate the mercurial nature of Fall.
Bring on Winter!

Front moved through yesterday afternoon.

Fall sunsets are the best. Taken as the front moved past:

I can tolerate cold temperatures better than heat and humidity. I saw 100+ in Tucson and 100+ in Houston. Completely different experiences. I thought I was going to die in Houston.
Meh - I love the Humidity. I never want to experience the mid-winter dry finger skin cracking ever again. Of course, I can do this in San Diego as well...

I say all of this and my heat is out for the two days. Stupid $10 120VAC to 24VAC transformer. Can't get one until tomorrow, unless I want to pay $750 for an emergency call from an HVAC contractor.
