I was just thinking about this the other day. What IS the very beginning? I've been in here for ~ 8-9 years (mostly observing/learning) and for sharing obs/photos.
53 degrees (according to a the Jeep) at 2000 feet — 1030 am. Northern end of Shenandoah National Park. Broke a sweet on the trail with just a sweatshirt. .
Anyone turned their heat on yet? I'm still holding out, but my WIFE (just got married!) is starting to chirp a little... 64 in the house this afternoon.
