Thread: Fall is FINALLY here!!!!!!!

Tweet

It looks like cooler weather has finally arrived, at least here in So. Florida. The last week has been perfect. This Summer was brutal, but last night it was actually a little chilly at the shop around midnight, and even the days are only in the high 80's. Sure is nice.

Is is cooling off where you all live too?

October hit and it instantly turned to Fall here. I was working quick on someone's car here at work in the parking lot trying to fix her starter and I was cold

It was like that here in So'eastern Mass. This week I actually had to put on a sweatshirt! It was like a switch got flipped! Been hazy hot & humid for months and now a week later - it's in the 70's!

Our weather in the heartland has been beautiful for the past week - low to mid 70's with cool nights, even a couple down into the mid 30's. Problem is Fall leads to Winter - wish we could extend October for about two months, then have a few weeks of frigid temps to kill all the bugs, then into Spring

I used to travel to New Bedford a couple times a year generally before or after the trees changed colors. I never got to see it. They say it is awesome. Should be happening about now?

Fall in Florida, is there such a thing???
Just joking.

Kinda true, but it has cooled off a lot. Last week it was in the high 90's and overnight it dropped into the high 80's. The nights were even unbearably hot for a lot of the Summer, even at 3 or 4 am, but this past week they have been in the low 70's, maybe even the 60's. That is why I have been staying at the shop until early morning, I can get so much more done now that it's cool. I hate sweating onto whatever you are working on, rusts the metal instantly.

Dan and I are leaving for the Street Rod Nats in Tampa at 5am tomorrow morning in my T, bet we have to wear jackets.

Colours here in Ontario are reaching their peak.....just beautiful. Weather has been cool, mid 60's but lots of rain. Today and for the next week is predicted to be sunny so we should be able to enjoy the fall scenery.

The leaves are gold and there is snow on the mountain tops.
Picturesque.
Nice place for a fall cruise in the rod.

I wish we knew each other then! It would be great to meet! Colors are coming, maybe another week or two... Next week we begin picking our cranberry crop and that always looks great against the tree colors too!

After the past 4 days of rain and fog and wind, the suns out and the temps are going into the mid to high 70's, just the best time of year for me!

Here in Vegas it's similar to Jay's report from Tucson. 60 at 6:00am this morinin', might have to wear a wind breaker on the breakfast cruise to Boulder City tomorrow.

Had to contemplate wearing jeans to work today. Last night leaving work at 11:30 p.m. it was in the fifties and a we bit cold in the shorts and tee shirt I wore into work at 3:00pm.
After one last heat spell with temps in the 100 range, we are getting cool mornings and pleasant days! For me it's a Get Your A@@ in gear alarm to finish geting all the body metal coated in epoxy primer!

Arizona too! Our monsoon season ended. Daytime temps fell about 10-15 degrees, to the 80s, and night temps in the 50s. Feels great!

Here in BFB, Texas it has been drop dead gorgeous Low 40's in the morning and Low 80's in the afternoon- - - DRY AND COOL and I am soaking up all this nice weather. Even worked on the '55 a couple of days.

We know that fall has arrived when the acorns drop - and this year, millions and they are huge. Until the storm this past week, I haven't been able to go into the yard and even today raking still got hit once. Between them and the wooly bear caterpillars and their short brown large black coats are telling me that thiw is gonna be a long hard winter.
