Baby it's cold outside

Meece - that IS a great job at pumpkin carving - very arty. Our family don't do Halloween mainly because we have always lived in a rural area and that doesn't lend itself to walking around houses.  A few people do it in town but most don't.

The cold Southerly wind has gone - yay -and it was a hot breezy day on the tennis court today.  Didn't even have to wear my vest over my tennis clothes!  After 6 months last summer without appreciable rain and nothing but rain this winter we are hoping for a more reasonable season this summer.

Edited cos I missed out a word and then I misspelled it

Meece:  EX-cellent job on your pumpkin carving, it's gorgeous!

Gosh, too cold in FLORIDA to have trick-or-treaters?????   :O   lol...and here we are in the NorthEast with bundled up kids and ice pellets!  (okay, only got one kid who came)   ~juli

We are also "supposed" to have a bad winter, we had a gorgeously hot dry summer, so guess we're in for it.  We get mostly cold/ice, but where I'm from in Central NY, they get heavy snow/lake-effect (tad warmer there).   I DO NOT MISS SNOWWWWWWW....but yes, we also get hammered with Nor'Easters here and heavy snows sporadically.  ~juli

lvtwoqlt:  Is that normal for you in NC?  I'd be thinking it would be that way in the Fall for you?  Last week we had the 3 seasons, 75 one day, 50's, then 40's with sleet/ice pellets.  We do get that in the Fall for sure.  LOVE the cooler weather, though, gotta say!      ~juli

Ooooo  muma, loooove the pic!!!  

Mumayan:  GORGEOUS picture, thx!

lvtwoqlt/Sheila:  Thank you for describing your area's weather.  We who have never been that far South (other than Florida's DisneyWorld) have no idea.   That doesn't sound bad at all, and nice you have the ski slopes as well.  Do you ski?   I used to downhill ski (loved it, but can't abide heat NOR cold anymore).   Sunny and 40's today, to be 50 and rain later in week, not bad at'tall.

Thanks for all of the congratulations on my newest baby granddaughter.  She is so cuddly - I had so much fun with her this past weekend.

We're very cold here in Mid Michigan.  Lows have been in the low 20s at night - thick heavy frost in the morning and our highs have been in the 40s.  I am freezing.  We're supposed to have our first snow on Friday.  I could do without it but know that in Michigan we're lucky we've waited this long without at least a trace of snow.

Like I said, I don't mind the wet--and we do get that, it is the hot and cold and especially the ice and snow i don't like,

I'm longing for 65 degrees Meece.  We were warmer this morning and now at 10:00 am we're up above freezing - 34 degrees.  That's supposed to be our high for tomorrow along with the possibility of some of the "S" word!  I'm looking foward (finally) to an uneventful weekend and glad my weekend starts after work today - one thing about the cold - it forces me to stay inside and do some organizing of my house.  I really need to do some purging.

Rae, my dog cowers and shakes in a corner with firework noises.  She is quite afraid of everything!  Enjoy the fireworks and the warmth.

If you went to bed an hour & half ago-how do you know how much rain has fallen girlfriend?

We have no prospect of any precipitation this week, we are 4 inches below normal for the year in rain fall. The leaves are falling as well as the temps. The temps in the morning are closer to December temps rather than November temps (lows in the upper 20's-low 30's) and they got snow in the upper elevations but the ski resorts like that. I ordered a delivery of Kerosene that will be delivered today but my monitor heater won't start! I have a borrowed oil radiant heater to keep the house bearable until I can get a service tech in to work on it.

Sleeting right now, temp at 35, to be high 50's by end of week?   Okaaaaaaay!   lol...one NEVER knows what the weather will be.  Very slippery out there right now, drive careful if you're near this muck.
