Bring on the cold!!!

“snow”

“fly west.

cold kills”

“I hate the heat. I want to play in the snow.”

“Summer suks, esp. here in the sweltering miserable Southeast. Fall signals Liberation. Already I've noticed that the edge has fallen off the extreme heat of mid-summmer. Another month and it'll be time to head to the Appalachians, it'll be ...

Hiking Season!”

“Hell, I was ready back in april.”

“Isn't this cool front lovely? Wouldn't it be nice if they were right and it drops to the low 80s this week? That 100+ thing is for the birds!”

“We need a snowy winter to replenish the groundwater and creeks. That's one of the reasons things are so bad now since the last 2 years we just didn't get much snowmelt in spring. I'm glad to see the summer on it's way out. For me the season is about to begin. July and August were too hot and humid for me to get motivated to go backpacking or even dayhiking.”

“Listen to all you snivelling wimps from Dixie! The temperature drops down to 88 and we think it's a cold spell, LOL! (I, too, can hardly wait - I hate it when it gets above 75...)”

“Bring it on!!!!! I live for snow days!”

“If you read the article, it states that they predicted the same thing last winter. So.....another mild winter is in store?”

“THINK POSITIVE DUNADAN! Don't rain on our parade. Geez, you'd think living in the place where you really can fry eggs on sidewalks, you'd be all for a nice snowy winter! =) When I came home from Kansas, Michigan seemed cool and dry and it was 96 with 80% humidity!”

“Aw heck, FG and I went on a hike Saturday. It was probably in at least the high 80's when we finished. And the trail wasn't an easy one, either. Ya just gotta get used to it...

Boy it felt good this morning to step outside and it wasn't already hot...”

“yep, 62 felt nice on my ride in this am. should be 96 or so on the way home.”

“At least you don't have to take a stove car-camping... just spray some Pam on the hood of the truck and crack an egg, <G>.”

“I've seen films of Rommel's men doing that (except for the spraying Pam part) on the tops of tanks in Africa. It was probably on a spot near the engine though I bet.”

“What? No Buttery Flavored Pam for the Afrika Corps?? What inhumane conditions.

What did the Frugal Gourmet always say? "Hot tank, cold oil, foods don't stick!"

At least I think that's what he used to say... before he got sued for sexual harrassment and was cancelled. One double-entendre too many about that extra virgin olive oil, no doubt...”

“It was 38 in Cody early last week.

Quit your sniveling.”

“Extra virgin? Is that from the olives that haven't even seen a pimento yet?”

“I'll snivel if I feel like it!”

“ummm...BAN BITPUSHER! ;-)

it's only going to be like 75 in DC on Wednesday...F'in wooooo buddy!

i can't wait for the cold, neither :-)”

“Oh come on, lyra, admit it. You laughed.

Come on, I know you can...lol.......”

“well, when you put it that way... ;-P”

“Sorry for the mistreatment while you were here, Sass.
I'm looking forward to a long and pleasant Autumn. It's the best time of year IMO, and can last as long as three months.”

“The West Nile virus is on it's way out here (MT) so we need a nice frost to kill those little bstrds. They're telling us to clean out the bird baths daily to control the spread. It was so cold last week that I had to chip the ice off the dog's water bucket so I'm not too worried about mosquitoes.”

“I'm catchin' what yer throwin' at me!!!”

“Albino Brain Eaters!”

“38 F in Taos last night. Can't wait for the Wheeler trip. I've been biking home in 95+ heat.”

“Aero's right, we already had our first freeze. I'm so not kidding when I say, fall is about a wk. away and winter is about a wk. after that.”

“Weather is GREAT here in Chicago. Upper 70's to 80 during the day, mid 60's at night! Why am I not out hiking?! Oh, yeah, this dissertation thing!”

“Here in my home state....
In the summer, you could swear you live in southern Georgia, and in the winter, you could swear you live in Saskatchewan.
However, there's a season in between that is blissful. That's why I'm not in any hurry for winter.”

“Here on the Savannah River, Summer is a killer. It lasts from late April 'til almost October. Winter is about a week long, sometime in December or January. It snows an inch or so every 3 or 4 years, just like clockwork!”

“wooo hoooo!

everybody wanted the day after Thanksgiving off, but I asked first. Four day weekend! Wolf Creek Colorado, here I come!”

“Early bird gets the worm.. nice going! :-)”

“good stuff, Pathman!

i'm getting that whole week off, and me and Tarpy are going to VT and NH, wooo hoooo!!! i only have like 1 hour of vacation time though...i'll have to do some extra posting, i mean work, in the meantime to make up...”

“Wolf Creek has great early snow. We went two years ago, I can dump the boys at the ski area to snowboard and go XC touring or ski groomed trails nearby.

Wolf Creek, CO, 2002”

“HELL YA ! nice pics!”

“Bit of a chilly spell here in the Northeast. It feels so good! I can't wait for it to get even colder! Yahoooooo!!!!!!”

“ino, Im w/ ya!”

“It really felt like fall today with the high winds and cool temps. Can't wait for the leaves to start changing. I hope the colors are good this year.”

“They are going to suck in most places. The lack of rain may lead to a depressing fall.”

“Cold Weather = Hard Nips

Now I know why I like hiking in the cold.”

“So far there's a lot of greenery in the woods here so I'm hoping for a good fall.”

“65 when I left work today. ahhh....

couple of days it'll be back in the 80's where it belongs, but its evidence of a trend.”

“Temps in the Sierras are dropping. After last weekend, I'm bringing more layers.”

“This is the first year I am ready for the cold here (FL), of course it only lasts 1 1/2 to 2 weeks. But I am looking forward to enjoying a fire in my fireplace.”

“Looks like lows in the 30's for Wheeler Peak this weekend, hi's in the 50 or 60's”

“After the drought and heat of this last summer, we are more than ready.
Aspen turning yellow, willows have turned red , deer are now grey.As the sun goes down the temperature starts to drop.
Great time to be backpacking .”

“Yeah, I am SO looking forward to cooler weather, the baby may go on her firat road trip a little sooner than expected. I may very well head north for a few days in October. Hope the baby's grown enough to even fit in the kelty pack for her, lol!”

“I stepped outside to feed the porch cat and it was actually cool and dry! WOW! That's great for Jacksonville!”
