Yesterday, the high was 81 degrees, the low was 40. We played outside for a good two hours, and had a picnic lunch in our shorts. It was absolutely marvelous, though rather odd. As of yesterday, we had had ZERO precipitation of any kind in October AND November. The lack of moisture and string of perfect 70 degree days in the late fall has been glorious, though, certainly a little disconcerting. We have been counting our blessings, and enjoying an unseasonably temperate autumn. There has been much scooter and bike riding, park days, walks, hikes, and outside time that has all but made up for our rather bland summer (on account of my nausea).
For the record, yesterday, we looked like this:
Today, the high was 40 degrees and the low was 26 degrees. The snow started at noon, and lasted all day. There were sometimes 20-30 mph wind gusts that left us breathless. A light snow cover now coats our flowers that were still blooming perfectly yesterday. Moisture of any kind is most welcome! I am grateful for the snow! But, again, for the record,
yesterday we had a picnic in the front yard in shorts.

Climate is what we expect, weather is what we get.
No idea who said it, but it makes the most sense in the fall.
And the spring.
