Fall Equinox!

After a few days with highs in the low 60s, today it was in the mid-70s -- warm enough to open a lot of windows of the house again (during midday -- not at night anymore). :)
Forecast highs of up to 80 here this weekend.
I don't think we've yet hit freezing at my place, which is unusual (though some spots in the area dropped below freezing).

Mark, it was 20 on Tuesday morning in the Fort Rock area. I got up to 37 in the Airstream.
 
I believe it, WS -- that's a cold area -- a high(er) basin that catches the cold.
I think that some areas of Bend proper have been below freezing in the past few days, too, and my house isn't usually in the banana belt, but for some reason it hasn't dropped below the mid-30s for me.

But...I have to be careful wishing too hard for cold weather -- i really don't want a sub-zero winter, not in town anyway. :cautious:
 
A change in the weather? We are putting the snow tires on the Lady's car tonight.

...........................and daylight savings time ends (except for you Mr. chnlisle in AZ) Sunday morning Nov. 2
I wish they would stop messing with the clock! Pick a time and stay with it.

My cranky old body doesn't handle it very easily...

Standard time year 'round would suit us fine. We like to get up early and nowadays there is a clock in EVERYTHING! Takes us an afternoon on Saturday and then we always miss two or three...........................

At the very least can't we get rid of the extra month now tacked on each end of daylight savings time? I'm damn tired of waiting for it to get light in the morning. Hell with them, I'm turning all our clocks back now.
 
DST: If retired or otherwise not working on the clock, why not just get up an hour later during DST? In other words, ignore it.

Wish I could but neither the latter or the former apply. :)
 
Me-I'm a retired but my animal instincts tell me to go to bed when it's dark out and get up when it starts to get light in the morning-no matter what the clock's say ;) ! Seems like I spent most of my life living by the clock, now I try to eat when I'm hungry, sleep when I'm tired and "enjoy life" not fight it. Still. boy, can't wait for the time change so my "civilized" self can again co-exist with my "animal" self :D .Maybe that's why so many of my (retired) friends have thrown away their watches :) and seem to be enjoying life just fine :p !
