Rave: First cold front of the year!

[mikechamp]

Booo!! to cold weather in September. I'm not rooting for triple digits, but I hate that I have to put winterizer on my lawn in September.

[Homer-style rant]
Stupid cold northern climate with its cold temperatures and its long winters and it's not like St. Louis where you get shorter winters and nice springs and falls where the highs might be in the 60s into November and you get an occasional day like that in December or January sometimes instead of this stupid 20 degree high with wind chills in the single digits for months on end and stupid snow everywhere that I have to shovel or drag out the snowblower and its really loud noise that echoes off my house while I wear multiple layers of clothing but still feel cold 'cause the wind blows the snow in your face and then it blows the stupid snow right back onto your driveway so you have to go back out and shovel and snowblow the same snow all over again and it gets dark really early so the sun can't help melt the stupid snow....[/Homer-style rant]

The weather has been better here lately - it's only 78 outside at the moment. I don't look like I just got out of a pool when I get to class now.

great rave.

autumn is my favorite time of year.

I'll actually be in Central Illinois/St. Louis this weekend, so won't get to completely enjoy the forecast I posted. But - I'm hoping it does a number on the bugs - especially my hornets nest.

I always used to hate Autumn because it meant school was starting; now I can really appreciate the cooling temperatures, the changing colors, etc.

Plus it means Winter is coming.

Autumn is definitely my favorite time of year, followed by winter. And autumn is my favorite now more than ever because I live in St. Louis (whereas I didn't always). The oppressive heat in the St. Louis summer really accentuates the awesomenocity of autumn weather.

I'm not happy about it.

Should be awesome weather for the Forest Park Balloon Race tomorrow.
