So summer is almost over. How has your summer been, weather-wise?

[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 667091, member: 1963"] Fall is my favorite season as well. One of things i hated about it up North was that, while the colors were gorgeous, they only lasted a week or so before the first storm blew them right off the trees and the cold hit for the first time. Up North, Spring weather is completely unpredictable: snow and thunderstorms, hot, cold, everything in between. Summers usually cool and either wet or dry with one week of hot weather in August. Fall was our only hope for decent weather if you didn't mind wearing a jacket or sweatshirt during the day as temps would be in the 40s and 50s, and possibly a winter coat at night as we usually got our first hard frost in September. I usually don't put on a winter coat until temps drop into the low 30s/high 20s, but I'm acclimated to cold weather. One thing I did notice is that when i had the oil changed in my car last week, the shop put in a heavier oil (10w30) than I had been using for winter weather (5w30),a sure sign of warmer winters as 10w30 would've turned to vaseline at Rhinelander winter temps. They also topped up the cooling system with antifreeze good to only 25 below instead of 45 below. I guess its a good thing I didn't have plans to visit up North during the winter, LOL! toK [/QUOTE]
