Dead leaves in MY walking trail? It's more likely than you think.

[Red Squirrel]

Winter is coming. Brace yourselves.

Oddly enough it's still shorts and tshirt weather here, but nights tend to drop near zero.

 

[Thebobo]

Bring it on!

Walnuts are the first to drop leaves; and nuts... Looks nice, and I can hear the squirrels eating walnuts outside. The sound of the nuts falling is startling sometimes. Love fall. Winter's cool too; second best season next to fall. Gonna be 90F+ next week though. I hope summer fucks off in short order. Last few years it hasn't :^(

 

[GagHalfrunt]

You had your week and a half of summer, quit whining.

Winter is coming, though I'm still without closure to Game of Thrones.

I just saw a news blurb that the new season of GoT that was supposed to air in spring 2019 might be pushed back even further. Seems the series is now emulating the books. Winter might be coming, but it's in no goddamned hurry to get here.

Texas would need therapy after one of Red Squirrel's 'winters'.

LOL that is true. No Texan knows what a winter actually is. Some people here actually go to Texas when they are tired of winter. lol.

Last winter here I think we ended up with more snow than Red did. He got all the cold air masses, though.

I just hope this winter coming isn't going to be too nasty.

Probably. We hardly get any snow now days. Maybe 2 feet at most, maybe 3. Our first snow is usually late November too, before it was more like mid October, maybe even September. I remember back when I was a kid we got so much snow it was crazy. Now I find we get most of our snow in December, but then it gets really cold for 2-3 months which mean it does not snow, then we might get a bit more snow after that.

Will it take 7 seasons?

Texas needs therapy for so many reason that a bad winter wouldn't make the top 100.

And economic stimulus since they wouldn't leave the house nor could they because the highways and even the side streets would constantly be gridlocked due to all the car accidents. I live in N'awlins (that's New Orleans for you yanks) and if we get a single flake of snow the entire city shuts down. Seriously, the schools send the kids home or cancels school if they know it's coming, the government shuts down and the mayor gets on TV telling everyone to stay the fuck home.

The day that I have to shovel snow to get my vehicle out of the driveway is the same day I back a uhaul up to the door and move further south even if I gotta go to friggen Mexico.

Cannot be done with the information provided. That depends entirely on how hairy your legs are and if you shave them to wear shorts.

 

[Chaotic42]

We're under an extreme heat warning today. I couldn't stand to live where you do man. Good luck.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Define shorts and t-shirt weather, please.

Anything 15C or higher. If that's the high for the day and the sun is barely out, I MIGHT put jeans. Depends what I'm doing. In the sun it's still pretty hot especially if doing any kind of physical activity.

Red lives in Northern Ontario. Autumn happens a bit sooner there.

I live in the southern part (closer to Detroit) and Autumn starts in October and snow starts in late November/early December.

And Autumn is beautiful here with all the leaf colours.

You say start like it happens continuously or more than once a year. I stand by my earlier statement.

I'll take the cold over brutal heat tbh. You can't dress for +30's, it's hot as hell no matter what even if you're naked. The -30's and -40's do get old after a while but those only last a few months. It's mostly annoying for driving because the windows get full of frost when the car is sitting out overnight and it takes forever to scrape it all off. It's crossed my mind to run nichrome wire along the dash and have a supplementary battery to run it, so that when I start the car I get heat right away. Car heaters should have an electric element that kicks on until the engine gets up to temp. I don't know why this is not standard.

One fun thing about our winters though is you can do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra6Vnxb_oH8

I find the longest part of winter though is the months after February. By then I'm always looking forward to summer but it's still far away.

Back when I was a kid our winters were a bit more regular though. First snow fall around Sept-Oct, cold as hell in January, then snow melt around April. Now it's all over the place. Less snow and more cold, with heat waves in between. Last year we hardly had a proper snow pack on the roads. Roads were horrible because of it. Just jagged ice instead of smooth solid snow.


There are places much more north than me as well where their winters are quite harsh like Northwest Territories.

My legs are quite hairy and I have never nor will I ever shave them for any reason.
