Dam you live in a torch spot. On the way down here at 45… and dropping.

Not during the day with cooler high temps and real cold CAA

Well most of the fall… October and November isn’t CAA…just RAD.  
 

But yes, you’ll win in CAA for sure. But you torch all month, and will continue to for the foreseeable future.  

Keep picking the peppers and what not.  They’ve been plowed under here for two weeks plus now.

What good is 29 at night and 60 during the day ? I’ve never understood the wildness about frosts in the fall . Kills gardens , makes folks use heat/ burn oil and by noon the windows are down in the truck

It’s all about the step down…it’s where we live Kevin.
 

It doesn’t go 85-90 during the day, and 69-74 at night.  Then the next week it’s 55-60 during the day, and 29-35 at night.  It’s all about the step down Bro.  We are stepping down, and have been for the last 6-8 weeks. 

We live in SNE/NNE, this is how it goes. And It’s not about what good it is.

For somebody who’s lived in the northeast all your life…you have some silly f’n ideas .

 But seasons are seasons . Of course it’ll cool off in fall and heat up in summer . I’ve just never been able to understand the frost excitedness and wildness and people trying to make me feel badly for missing out

Here’s where you’re completely incorrect.  
 

Nobody is ever TRYING to make you upset at ALL.  YOU ARE  the one who takes the reports of frost and freezes, and turns them into people trying to make you get upset. Honestly, NOBODY is trying to do that.   
 

You on the other hand, take the reports of the frosts/and freezes that way, and then say, Alot of the area hasn’t frosted or frozen yet, because you haven’t.  Which is a complete falsehood. 
 

It’s all good bro. You’ll get the 3” of snow, while the rest of us get a dusting to a half inch if we’re lucky, in an early season marginal event.  The difference is, I/we won’t tell you it’s fake, because it was only elevation dependent.

Yup, down to mid 30s now. Brrrisk out there. 
Call it fake but there is a unique feel to living in the lowlands/“swamps” of SEMA.

There’s always ball busting on here, but honestly don’t think anyone tries to make you feel bad for missing out… 

I mean you get great joy out of using your air conditioning as much as possible, think of it like that.  Some folks don’t understand it.
