Winter is coming? Does that mean Summer is going to end? According to Weather Underground, it’s currently 86 here at 9:20am. We’re on our way to a high of 85. I don’t know how that’s supposed to happen, but…yeah. Low today should be 77. Yesterday we had a high of 91. Not complaining, mind you…it’s getting cool enough that my co-workers don’t complain as often if I put the top down in the car on the way to lunch. ---

Last year the ground froze below the frost line, which is around 5’ iirc. Had to keep a faucet running all the time for a month. So I’m ok with lots of insulating snow, but not ok with the minus WHAT? cold. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/winter-is-coming/700968.md?page=1)
