Status: offline 		I've learned from experience that most of the time, a cooler summer means a colder winter and a hot summer leads to a mild winter. This summer, the weather has shown both extremes. The central US has gone from scorching hot temps to lows in the 40's when autumn doesn't begin for another week. Who else thinks it's cooling off faster than normal this year? Do you think the upcoming winter will be harsh or mild?

Status: offline 		The fall equinox may not have even hit yet, but I can promise you that it's fall here.  The leaves have already turned and talk of winter being just around the corner was one of the chit chat topics at the munch Tuesday evening.  I haven't been through a winter here yet but due to location, no matter what happens, this will be the worst winter that I've ever experienced.  The heck with the Y.  Thank God for the internet!

Status: offline 		A buck stopped outside my window the other day. He already has a long shaggy winter coat. As for me, when it gets too chilly here we'll fire up the motor home and head to Yuma, AZ. Yuma's average daily high temperature in Dec and Jan is 70. Yuma also has more days of sunshine than any other US city. Yes, we're spoiled and I like it that way. Anything is better than a Montana winter at -30 degrees. Oh, by the way, it did snow once in Yuma. It was 1932, however, I'll take my chances.

Friggin Shore likes it set at 72 fucking degrees.
I like 65 at the most. I sleep so much better in cool temps.

Aside from that you can speculate all you want and there ain't a damn thing any of us can do about it.....just take it as it comes.....

Two things that make winter more palatable.


Outdoor hot-tubs and snowmobiles.

Me too. Love my quilts and blankies. Need a snugglebunny, though.

I'm getting a bunch of palm wax and I'm gonna make a bunch of candles. A few votives and pillars can really warm up a well-insulated room. Vanilla. Lavender. Cinnamon.

The pattern of black and brown is supposed to give an indication of the upcoming winter according to the mountain folk.

Status: offline 		Our real cold here only lasts a short time, and this house is very well insulated.  That said, while I"m a big fan of snuggling under mink blankets and quilts, I fucking hate getting up in a cold house.  Hooray for programmable thermostats, and little ceramic space heaters in the bathroom.

We're the opposite. I like it at 72 plus the down comforter, he likes it at 65.

And whatever it is, it will include snow, ice and sleet. None of which are my favorite things.
