Well, it was bound to happen eventually. On the 24th we turned the heat on.
It always seems to be the great fight of the season. "I'm not ready to turn the heat on yet!" That denial that winter is coming.
She's also the type that would have had the Christmas tree up last week
Fight the good fight!

I'm also the same way with my winter jacket. I'll wear my lighter fall jacket as long as possible. One of these days I'll out stubborn Mother Nature... ;)
I think we've finally come to a good compromise on that one. The other half always wants to put the tree up way too early. I think we've
finally agreed to wait until at least November 12th (the day after Remembrance Day) for all of that.

I haven't yet switched the power off to the central air and put the
cover on, I'm holding out for at least one more unseasonably warm day,
but that's just me being in denial... ;)
Here on the California coast, we went from turning the heat on, to a massive wind/rain storm, to a predicted high of 72F (22c for the rest
of you) this afternoon.

22 sounds nice. Currently outside my home it's 17C (~63F), tonight's low will be 10C (50F). Better than the 3C (~37F) from a few nights ago.

The past couple of days have been cool, grey, gloomy & rainy. Looks
like we may have a break in the rain tomorrow & Thursday, but back to
rain just in time for the weekend.
To those of you living in the future, take good care of the warm weather for us. If you'd like to send it back early, I certainly wouldn't stop you... :)
It's milder now but still springlike and stormy / changeable alot.
The metservice reckons here will be hotter than usual (our new normal I think) in the coming month or so. Summer here is usually December to
Feb...
It looks like we're in for an earlier start to the snow along with "more significant" lake effect snow, which means we may want to get our snow blower tuned up sooner than later.
this is one thing where I live that the locals get excited to see. In my part of the world the further south you live the more likely you are to get some snow. But it's usually inland areas and not too bad for no more than 5-10 days over winter.
I live on the coast so sea temps often preclude anything coming down to sea level and if it's bad it can be just up on the hills. Still when it does come down lower it can close down a chunk of the city as buses can travel and schools close due to safety and ease of getting kids to and from
school.
The last few years 'snow days' have been less and less..
We did once see an iceberg drifting off the coast that had floated down
from Antarctica :)

I gave in and switched the circuit breaker off to our central AC today
and put the cover on. Also took the opportunity to grab the ladder and clean out the dryer vent, wasn't as bad as it has been in the past, but still something we aim to do twice a year.

That would be both breathtaking and unsettling at the same time.
