Finally getting some relief here in SF.

Today was in the 70's and it's much cooler this evening. I even saw a hint of fog this afternoon. Bring it ON!!!  :tup

I'll be up in the Bay Area next weekend for the Padres/Giants series, so I'm really hoping for some cool weather, BFrank :P

There were a lot of cicadas around this summer- I think it was the 7 year cycle. I noticed how loud they can get while I was sitting out on the deck- sometimes you have to raise your voice to be heard over their cicadous cacaphony. They're noisy but seem to be harmless.

Is this mostly a midwest thing, or do other regions get these infestations?

I believe it's a seventeen-year cycle.

The mid-atlantic states get them big-time. I guess New England doesn't get them that much though, because none of my friends have complained this year, and I don't remember them.

Today was a beautiful dark fall day in Lansing, MI. Overcast the whole day and very cool after some very high temperatures for this time of year (into the 80s last week). We have a frost warning for tonight! Brrrr!

I like rainy days sometimes. Come winter I'll be saying "WHERE THE HELL IS THE SUN!!?" though! The grass is always greener...

Yup the clouds rolled in this afternoon and the temp. plunged. I'm loving it, too. I love cloudy, cool days. Had to bring some house plants back inside from being outdoors all summer...

I don't know if I will be longing for sun in the winter, but I will be missing 60 degree weather when it's about 10 below.

We've been getting an unusual amount of rain for the past couple of months.

The highs still remain in the 70's. We will soon begin the journey into the 80's, 90's and beyond. <_<

Glad I'll be checking out this summer.
