Good... I paid $400 for a brand new "Canada Goose"-like jacket at an end of season sale. Want to get some use out of it.

I think you can probably find Canada Goose on sale for about $400. What's 'Canada Goose'-like? Fake Moncler?

Those sale ones left over are probably extra-large sizes for morbidly obese people or Shaqs -- Shaqs are rare.

Never had a Canada Goose. Kind of wanted one, then I just got a Fjallraven Cantwell. It's essentially the same thing for half the price. Faux fur, so I feel less guilt about dead animals except for all the ones I eat and have someone else kill for me.
 
Yeah, it's hot, but it's been nothing like last Summer of record breaking days for weeks on end. This August has been fairly mild and very wet for Colorado. I'm definitely hoping for a cold, snowy Winter....just as they should always be.
 
Can't believe summer is already pretty much over, went by WAY too fast. Time in general is going by way too fast these days. I remember when a year used to actually feel like a year. Not it feels like a few months.

Good news is, that means Christmas happens more often, well, it feels like it does.

Going to be putting up the Christmas lights soon, crazy to think it's already that time, but I like to do it before the snow comes so it is a few months early. I just go right on the roof to do it, and it's done in like 15 minutes.

GREAT jackets. Best in the business.

You'll be prepared for deep winter! :thumbsup:

Here's how the pros do it.

Much of it is looking at trends and making educated guesses, as there's no way to tell for sure. It's still too soon to even take a stab at what winter will be like.

The farmers almanac says it gets the season right 80% of the time, which seems high to me. I'd like to go back and measure their reports myself to see what they actually come out too. More likely it's closer to random chance.

Anyone else in ME/NH feel like we had a hot summer?

NH Here...I think this summer was especially rainy and humid but not that hot. Feels like the temps never got over 80. We had a week of heat wave in what felt like late July. We've only used the air conditioning for that week and that was it. August has felt cool by comparison to other summers. I sleep with the windows open and just last week I woke up extra early around 5:00 AM. I was freezing and needed to get a quilt so I could fall back asleep. Sometimes I swear it feels like autumn
 
Isn't the almanac supposed to be really accurate when it comes to weather? I thought I read on Cracked (obviously not an infallible source) that it's something like 90% accurate. I guess that depends on how forgiving you are with the predictions.

It was so hot in Illinois this summer.

I dunno, it was really, really nice towards the end of July. Early mornings in the low/mid 50's. That's pretty odd for July in the cornbelt. This week is gonna be a hothouse. Mid 90's, heat index breaking 100, all with that wonderful humidity.

Overall, I think the summer's been pretty mild, but very dry.

well we still have a brutal global-warming fueled hurricane season to survive first

...what hurricanes? The ones that have been completely MIA? 😕


I've been told by a number of people that this weather this summer reminds them of how it was before the winter of 78. Oh fun...

We did finally get typical August late summer weather here this week. Upper 80s and humid. We've really only had one other week this year that has been normal hot. Pretty mild the rest of the time, and really wet over all. It finally dried out a bit over the last month.
 
"Bitterly cold" in San Diego means 45 degrees, but we'll see. Since our summer was fairly mild overall, I'm sort of expecting a warm September like last year. I am looking forward to the fall/winter though.
