For Those Who Live In Hot Climates - Labor Day and Fall Are Coming!!!!!!!!
 

As a longtime resident of North Texas, I've come to terms with our long, hot summers but boy, by this time of the year, with Labor Day just around the corner, I see hope ahead!

Every year I long for Labor Day as it always tells me that the worst is over and soon our weather will grow cool and we all have the entire rest of the year and the first 5 months of the new year to enjoy life out and about except for a few icy days in the winter and a few thunder storms we shake through!!! It's wonderful to live here where weather hardly ever really impacts your life in a hard way since we have air-conditioned houses, public places and cars - and even an air-conditioned football stadium - to keep us comfortable but still, the heat does prevent you from doing some things you'd like to do during the heat of a summer day.

So, fellow Hot-Climate-Dwellers, Labor Day is on its way, football and fall are around the corner and the long, hot summer of 2014 is drawing to a close. Anyone want to celebrate with me?

Happy Labor Day!!!:jump28ib::jump28ib::jump28ib::cheer::cheer: :cheer:

Can't wait until I can work out in the yard, without having to change clothes a half a dozen times because I sweat so much...... Oh wait, ladies don't sweat, they glow. :)
So I'll celebrate with you.......

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! This hasnt been a really killer of a summer here in Houston, like LAST year where we had well over 30 days of 100+* temps....we have not broken 99* at all this year....but they are saying we are going to have a really COLD winter....not much of a deal way down here...may hit 28* a couple of times, may even get a dusting of 1/2 inch snow to deal with! Y'all up in North Texas have it worse with ice and snow, but I still will take this weather over anyplace else in the country! And it will indeed be dropping into the 70's and 80s before too long....then temps will plummet into the 50's and 60's.......yahooooooooo!!!! PTL!!!!!!

TG!:D It's almost 10 degrees hotter here than LA, it's been in the high 90's here (feels like 100+)...so looking forward to Fall (my fav season) & winter. It's supposed to be about 10 degrees colder than LA, yay! I like cool-cold CA weather, bundle up w/the furry buddies w/a nice hot cup of tea!

I love cool weather and bundling up myself. Cannot wait for the day I can turn off the A-C and open the windows. Tibbe loves to lay in the window sill with just the screen between him and the outside. He gets so excited if he sees a squirrel or cat or bird in the yard!

It's just after 9:00 p.m. We had clouds and some rain late this afternoon/evening but it's still 81 degrees and humid! Dogs days of summer need to go away. Hurry, Fall, and cool me down!!! I want to see falling leaves and feel the chill in the morning air.

Fall weather has been in NE Pa. since May, what summer, we had fall weather, this was the coldest summer ever, the only time I used my A/C was when I had to leave baby boy home alone, and that was only 3 times. Winter is right the corner for us.:(

temp now is 58 burrrrrr

I live in Ohio, enough said! haha :)

I sure wish we could share heat and cold with each other. I'd just ship you all 25 degrees of our heat and cool us down while warming you up and we'd all be happier!!! Doesn't that sound like a better arrangement than we have now? :) ;) :D

I cannot imagine a 58 degree temp at the end of August here in Texas! To me, it sounds like heaven but still, in my brain I know it must get old. I love it when our morning temps just fall into the 60's, let alone the 58's - that means fall is coming!!! Right now it's 72 degrees and humid here but only because we are having some cloudy weather with a little isolated rain these last two days so the morning has been overcast, keeping the sun from quick-warming us, though we'll still go up to the 90's today. One more day of August tomorrow and finally it's September and we get to start to cool down.

My tree in the front yard hasn't even begun dropping leaves yet this year and normally for some reason it starts to drop some of its big leaves as early as mid-August. I hope that doesn't mean our summer is going to be drawn out.

I would take all your heat if I just didnt have to go through another Indiana winter

I don't blame you a bit there. At least our hot summers are just inconvenient but not physically hard on most of us, except for those who have to work right out in the sun all day, with the A-C everywhere and in the evenings, there can even be a breeze if you are out and about and once summer is over, the next 8 months or so are pretty easy living. But I can imagine it would get so old having to shovel snow from walks and roofs, keep car batteries from dying and radiators from freezing and always having to dress in boots, layers, hat and gloves to just run to the store for milk and bread.

My brother and I grew up loving snow and the mountains and always wanted to live in Colorado. He actually moved there with his family and made it 5 years before the snow got them all down. He said the driveway was essentially frozen over for months at a time as the snow would melt and freeze and the driveway was almost always in the shade for some reason. He said he had to spend too much of each day just keeping up with things the weather had done or was about to do. Now they just drive or fly up there from New Mexico to enjoy Colorado.

Still, I'm so ready to open the windows and feel some cool air blowing in one day before too long!

I cannot wait to open windows! I have a huge screened in patio in the backyard where the dogs like to hang out when it gets a little cooler.

I also can't wait to walk my dogs more! My poor boys scratch the leash cabinet during the day but I have to tell them it's too hot to walk. We have to wait until about 7pm every night, and it's still 90 degrees! It certainly is a long, hot summer and I'm looking forward to my daily 75-80 degree weather so we can get back outside.

Monday is supposed to be the first day of Fall. I won't feel true fall weather in GA until Mid October.

But I'm certainly ready for football season! Cute Sweaters and fall means my birthday is coming up. Lots of reason to celebrate!

It's finally September!!! And Labor Day!!! The holidays are just around the corner!

Happy Labor Day to all you sweating/glistening YT's who are done with this long, hot summer and so ready for fall as well as to the rest of you who have decent summer weather! Sept. 1 is a red-letter day for those of us in hot climates as we know we are in the process of finally saying "goodbye" to the dog days of summer!!!

MD actually had a REALLY tame summer... we've been very lucky... and then of course Sept hits and we have one of the humid days all summer ugh!! Supposed to be super hot and muggy all week. Figures.

Ready for Fall, it is still hotter than you know what here in GA.

Spent the weekend at the beach, beautiful weather in the Florida panhandle but now I am ready for long pants, boots and sweater season.

Yeah finally some summer weather here! Going to the lake today:thumbup::thumbup:

Summer wasn't really that bad for us in Vegas this year. We had a lot of thunderstorms and cloud coverage that cooled us down. It's so dry here so it doesn't feel as hot as you in the humid places. It was funny that when we wanted to go to the water park, we were like, nah it's barely 100 today, not hot enough. As soon as the sun starts to set and you're walking around soaking wet and a breeze comes thru you are shivering!

But I am looking forward to fall! It gets way colder here than in So Cal. I love fall clothes and the layers! I have two almost brand new coats that I never wore bc it never gets that cold in Cali. You could make do with a hoodie!

Me, too. I love fall clothes, the boots and layers, coats and the fabrics more than spring or summer things. It's much more fun to me to buy for fall/winter than for cool weather.

Yea Labor Day doesn't really mean anything weather wise around here :p
I spent Saturday night sweating in a HOT thunderstorm waiting for a game to start and it never happen because of our lovely thunderstorms we have daily.
SOMETIMES we are lucky enough to maybe have hoodie weather for what is known as the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party and Halloween but even last year I was still in shorts for both events the end of Oct.

We are not used to the heat here in California. Lately it has been extra hot and ya get sweaty just walking around the neighborhood. The fall craft shows are starting which I love and the stores have fall stuff. Getting in the mood for fall. How is Tibbe? I am so glad you are back on line, Jeanie. I have missed your posts and the reports on Tibbe. He is the cutest! Looks like my Spud. Hope you both are doing well.

Using the words Labor Day and Fall together in Texas? Nah, in the San Antonio area we don't start hitting the 80s consistently until October. I still remember a couple of years ago when we hit 112 in the middle of September.

It's 94 degrees here now and I'm losing hope. NFL football starts tonight but I'm beginning to wonder if fall is on its way at all. Just got back from an appt., lunch and some errands and it's hot out there and people are kinda cranky for Texans! I'm steamed we're still so hot. All I can say is fall better get here before long!!! :mad: I've had enough of sunshine, sunshine, sunshine and non-stop heat. Even though this has been a "mild" Texas summer there should be a limit on how many days cowboys 'n girls have to put up with over 90 degree temps!!!. wah, :cry8: I want cool air, falling leaves, to hear the sounds of the high school band practicing for Friday's game wafting through the air early in the mornings, to wear a rust-colored sweater, gray wool slacks and knee-length boots not the constant sound of lawn-mowers and everybody in eternal sunglasses, shorts and tank or crop-tops !!! Please, Mother Nature!!! Cut us some slack! :hands:

Come visit us in Toronto, Saturday forecast is roughly 70 degrees. You can get cool or even cold here if you want:D

Oh, Gail, right now that just sounds heavenly! Wish I could just twinkle my nose and be there right now where the sun isn't after me! ;)

Go twinkly away;) You could come with us to Kelso lake, go swimming with the pups and a mild hike. Come home and have Beet Soup, and home-made French bread. Peach Cobbler for dessert?

Oh and if you come all this way. Stay for Sunday we are having Peppercorn Tri Tip Roast Beef, Slow Cooker Potatoes and Cauliflower, and Yorkshire Puddings, with a lovely decadent gravy, Fresh Green Beans with Slivered Almonds. Of course left over Peach Cobbler with Ice cream:)

Oh, lordy, that ALL sounds heavenly, even if I'm bringing up the rear on that hike!!! LOL. I'm twinkling like mad, Gail. Be there just as soon as I get this nose to work right! :D
