It was actually cooler last night, I pulled my sheet over me instead of throwing it off. I am looking forward to the even cooler temps where we will have highs in the 80’s and feels like temps in the 90’s instead of our usual feels like 109’s. And evening temperatures in the 70’s! I’m almost giddy about it. I might be able to mow my lawn without suffering heatstroke! ---

I’m all about a cool front. Hell screw that how about a _cold_ front? It’s been in the 90s everyday since what, May? I am ready for a cool down. ---

I’m looking forward to being able to walk from my door to the car without breaking into a sweat. ---

Cool front, cold front, lukewarm front, anything is better than 90+ degree temps and 70%+ humidity and feels like temps in the 100’s. For non-Floridians our seasons are Summer and the occasional relief we get from cold fronts. We sometimes call them, Fall, Winter and Spring but they don’t really last that long. ---

I almost get a boner when thinking about how it’s going to start cooling off in a few weeks. ---

A few weeks, yeah right. It was in the 90s through most of October last year. ---

> [@The\_Falling\_Reverend](#): > > A few weeks, yeah right. It was in the 90s through most of October last year. Well, I consider 4 a few. It’s usually Halloween before I’m comfortable enough to turn off the AC, at least at night. ---

Yeah I can’t wait to shut off the AC. I’ve had that thing running since March. I live on a 3rd floor so my place heats up as soon as the sun comes up. **Ivy** , how are you? ---

All I can say is Boo Ya! Bring it on! And I’m happy for my wife, who has started working outside a lot lately in the heat for work. ---

It means the end of gardening season and I have to figure out what I’m going to do with the enormous Plumerias that can’t survive outside all winter. On the plus side, I get to save some phat cash on A/C bills, sleep with the windows open, and dig out a couple sweaters. And I get to wear my fancy new leather jacket again. I moved here from Ohio because I hate the cold, so overall, I am not really looking forward to winter, despite how mild and lame Florida winters really are. ---

I noticed it was a little less humid when I went to and from the car at lunchtime, but my car thermometer said 92 degrees. There’s definitely a cold front going on in my workplace, though. As usual. ---

Fall is my favorite season of the year (is, too, a Florida season)! It’s lovely, sunny, and dry and not cold enough to make me wish I lived in Beliz. ---

Who what when?? I would LOVE a cool front. I’m in Key Largo and it has been jungle hot here for months on end, per usual for summertime. I would love to open the windows and shut off the AC for a day or 2. ---

Up here in North Florida, it’s supposed to get down to the low 50s at some point this week. We’re all excited and having conversations like: “I’m gonna wear my peacoat!” “Well, I’m gonna wear my boots!” “I can’t wait to put a quilt on the bed!” I’ll be selling at the flea market this weekend. I don’t do it in the summer because it’s not my steady job, so why bother in the heat? I’m stoked to be back at it. The extra money will do me some good. ---

If I hadn’t just wrapped up a vacation to the NE, during which I enjoyed lows in the low 50’s/upper 40’s, I would be seriously psyched. Still won’t mind it… ---

My morning and evening runs have been much less humid the last few days. I look forward to them becoming almost pleasant. ---
