Augie Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I picked my 90 year old mother up today at her retirement home and took her to lunch. It’s ALWAYS Fall Season there. They’re falling all over the place! In Atlanta we went quickly from warm 90 degree highs right into the 60’s, totally skipping the 80’s and 70’s. I love the 80’s, and prefer 90 to 60 because I enjoy playing tennis. I HATE to sweat and be cold at the same time. It reminds me of shoveling snow. My kids have told me forever I was scarred by growing up in Buffalo, and that may be true. Loved it as a kid, but......love to go back in spring/summer/fall now, and maybe brief trips in the winter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The leaves are turning in Upstate NY but I don’t think it will be a good fall for leaf colors. They will go from green to fall colors to falling off the trees all in about a week. Your comment about being cold and sweating at the same time from shoveling snow was a harsh reminder of what’s coming. ☹️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacka Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 (edited) 57 at 1 PM. Left the house to do a hike and got about a mile away. Started thundering and lightning and a mixture of rain and slushy snow started falling. Ten minutes layer my car thermometer said 49. Never got out of the car and went back home.

All the pecans, simmons, muscadines, acorns all gone too quick. It's been weird, but that's October for us. November is our Fall, usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just went from green to dead. 16 hours ago, Marv's Neighbor said: Geez! I thought this was about our season! wrong forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Kevi Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I agree with OP... Too many hot days, and then immediately chilly. Leaves shmeaves, I just want the good weather. Where is my 60° season? I love the winter, too; but man the fall is when I get stuff done. Guess I'll be doing it in a Carhartt this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Popinski Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 It's still 90 here in FL. I think this morning it dipped down in to the low 70s so that was nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greybeard Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Two weeks ago I went to Lake Placid. It was peak. I have never seen peak up there before and it was quite a site. This was one week after their Leaf festival or whatever they call it. Just north of Syracuse, the trees are still changing. Maples in my yard haven't hit full color yet but they should this week. Not that many leaves down. Usually for Halloween I have large piles in the street. The oaks on the other had think they are going to hang on to the leaves until Dec. They are still green.

(with a little creative help): So the maples formed a union And demanded equal rights 'The oaks are just too greedy We will make them give us light' Now there's no more oak oppression For they passed a noble law And the trees are all kept equal By hatchet, Axe, And saw... Those effing oaks... Always hanging on too long! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A neighbor reported to the police that there was a suspicious person next door on the porch only wearing a thong and prancing around. When asked for a more detailed description the neighbor said that his bountiful cheeks were very dimpled and jiggly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
