Meantime it was 93° today and will be 98° tomorrow.
Monday or Tuesday we finally get a good cool front with highs in the mid 70s.

Yup. Still in the mid-high 90's here too. Cooling coming mid next week, hopefully

Finally! Tomorrow will start at 52° and the high will only be 69°.

38 this morning brrr :( - but should be around 50 by noon and forecast high is 58

this weekend looking good high 60s / low 70s

The thread title reads nostalgically now. :cry:

I have always been a summer kid but over 100° isn’t fun anymore.

31 stinkin degrees this morning :(

brrrrrr … but should be around 50 at noon

Brr! It’s 64° here this morning headed for 87°.

10.6*C for my ride today.

Less than half of what it was this past summer. Decimel points can really come in handy. 😄

finally raining here - need the rain

been very dry so I’ve been avoiding the limestone paths and dirt roads

did see a couple of bikers at an area trail - raining fairly hard at one point but they were near the halfway point of a 42 mile ride

We finally got some rain last week. Our temps have really moderated. Highs in the low to mid 70s and liws in the 50s.

stinkin cold weather - temps in the 20’s and windy :(

bikes parked - doing some short hikes

not much better next week - low 30’s with chance of snow later in the week

the next week could see some temps in the low 40’s (hopefully)

We were 61° today and should be for a week at least. Lows are about 40°.

61 sounds great right now

our last winter was very mild - doubt this winter will be a repeat - but close would be nice

The National Weather Service or NOAA said we are in a La Niña pattern this winter.
Down here in Texas it should be warmer and dryer than normal. Up north it may be a bad winter.

Weather is very spotty. Here in Toronto, Canada, we didn't yet get any snow this year apart from few flakes and it is dry and mostly sunny, while in a number of nearby places as I noticed in news, they are buried in snow with high winds, other places like in Europe, they have floods.

It was 22F with 10mph winds when I went out today. Got 19 miles, despite going pretty slow. Is it just that cold air is denser and therefore slows you down more, or is it just the thick tights, the neoprene booties, etc, that is slowing me down?
While this isn't great weather, it's better than what I'll be facing in a month or two.

(going out for a walk isn't a bad option, though)

thought I might get in a short late day ride - before this evening / tomorrow when temps drop (further) and snow heads our way …

if not maybe a short hike …

but it’s cold and windy (AF) … might be around 30 degrees but feels more like 20 …

so … fuhgetaboutit … :(

few inches of snow on the ground and windy (gusts > 30 mph) - could be mid-40’s on Sunday but need a warm up before this to melt the snow (or it will be more hiking :( )

prefer the paved trails at this point because the crushed limestone paths can be soupy / almost like quicksand in some softer spots when ground thaws after temps were below freezing / ground was frozen :(

the area roads (including one area park bike path) are salt covered :(

finally warmed up :)

mid 40’s

most of the trail clear with a few tricky snow covered sections

ok the cold and snow and wind is getting old (already)

:( :( :(

It is going to be below 20°F, for the major part of the next couple of weeks, here in the Midwest.

I just rode 32 miles in 25°F and below temperatures today. Will be doing another 32 miles, in another 4 hours or so, on the way back home.
