I've just been out in the dark, covering the garden. Low twenties tonight, freezing the next couple of nights. Here's hoping for a long Indian Summer!

We were having a fantastic start to spring with warm days and nil rain. The natives were jumping for joy. I was not so enthusiastic and suggested winter was far from done. Right now 21:52 hours, the temp outside is just above freezing with a wind chill of a lot less than that. Snow on the hills forecast and the farms down south are fighting to keep lambs alive.

We're nowhere near any freezing temps yet, but the last two nights, the lows have hit the low 60s. That's a big change from lows in the mid 70s.

My wife is visiting the kids in Soldotna AK, and it was 30 degrees F Sundy morning. Now here in Afghanistan it's a different story. It should be starting to cool down in the next month or so.

Winter has already come in northern Iceland. We had a raging blizzard there yesterday.
In Reykjavik the temp is abt. 5C.

Lucky me. I´m flying to Denver later today.

Thanks for serving Gmsharps. I remember why you're there.

Now back to the thread: Yep. It's was cool here during the night. Love that Indian Summer too.

Still monsoony here - awakened 2 days ago @ 0700 by thunderstorm, and overcast & trying to drizzle. But us desert-dwellers welcome the rain - it's just a pain when it all comes at once! Highs in the 90's, lows in the 70's, humid - almost as bad as back home in Houston!

Indian summer is still over a month away mid 90's, dry, wish it would hurry as I have squash over running me. Given to friends, neighbors, kin, and strangers and still have more.
The squash are i a10'x10' area and I have had a bumper crop. Zucchini, White and yellow, some of the zucchini are over a foot long and the white as large as a small plate and still tender.

I just saw a Stellar bluejay. Sure sign of cold weather, snow, and hunting season.

Garden still doing well, we have another month or two of good weather. Only problem tomatoes are splitting after three inches of rain. They are used to the only water from coming from a hose.

Visiblity was 200 yards yesterday with a strong wind. We are all smoked up from fires in the west as well as 8 miles away. We will get the cold but no rain forecast. I wouldn't kick if we had a quick 4" snow storm before Indian Summer hit.

Quite heavy rain, here in Denver CO, this morning. But 14°C will not stop someone from Iceland to do some shopping. Enjoying my stay here.

You need to be in Denver for a serious Rocky Mountain snowstorm. Then you can give us a comparison to an Icelandic storm!

The heat might finally be finding reverse around here. After 3-4 days of monsoon-like rains, it only got to 95* F today. It got down to 68* overnight, and having the slider open all night felt nice.

Here in South Alabama the temp has been quite nice...60's at night and 80's during the day. The past few mornings have been perfect. I fear it wont stay this way long so I am enjoying it while I can...football season is here now and I am loving that but hunting season still has a while to wait, least for me anyway. I don't like hunting when its hot outside...redbugs, yea sorry, I'll pass on those guys.

Roll Tide!!!

Up here it's just now starting to change for the better (for us). Been getting highs in the low 70's and the lows around the high 50's. And we are experiencing rodent activity like crazy, they seem to scurry more than normal when there's a season pattern change.

our gypsey pepper plants got smoked the other night.
browned right up, and they had just really started to produce some decent peppers too.
was up at the lake fishing in a fog the other morning couldn't even see the lake.
stood up on a lawn chair and could see over the fog pretty cool.

Mid 30's here in the mountains last night. Had my first fire of the season. I have two watermelons on the vine that I hope ripen.

Hey, Crawdaddy, I just noticed your location is listed as Tijeras, NM.
I lived there for a year in 1960, and attended eighth grade at Montoya School.

Back then, there weren't many 'Anglos' in the neighborhood, so perhaps we know each other ... if you've been there that long.

Must be nice, The leaves on the aspen are just starting to turn yellow. In a week or so the rest of the hardwoods will turn and in three weeks the trees will be bare.

Very nice weather here in Denver. Today sept 15, is my 60th birthday. So, enjoying a glass of JD, last night, I told my wife I was going to stay up till midnight, to feel how age crept upon me.

Hahaha, she said, midnight GMT, was 2 hours ago. You actually turned 60 when we were at that Subways place on 16th street.

Happy six oh there, Gisli! I just broke that mark myself 13 days ago. And, like you, I enjoyed a 'wee dram' of Jack Daniel's Single Barrel. I didn't stay up 'till midnight, though. That JD SB started singing a lullabye and I went down in a huge ball of fire.

Heck, here in NY 14° Kelvin won't stop people from shopping.
