Is anyone else sick of summer?

[newyawker99]

I am! :puke:

[StopTheMorans]

1. not after last winter in Boston

if i never see another flake of snow, or another temperature under 32 degrees F, it will be too soon:)

[kariatari]

2. indeed i am. can't wait for sweater weather!

[Lavender Brown]

3. Yes

It is like a sauna in the subway. :puke: I'm looking forward to nice autumn weather.

[newyawker99]

11. Me too! Can't wait to see those falling leaves.

:-)

[Sequoia]

4. Why?

I dread the dark nights after working driving in a pouring rain on a country road with ditches and no white stripe on the side to tell me where the road ends and the ditch begins. No, I don't care for winter and trying to scrape pennies together for Christmas.

[XNASA]

5. Normally, I'd say ,"Yes, I am sick of summer."

But summer here has been gorgeous. We've only had a couple of days of high humidity and the temps have been lower than normal.

That said, I'm really more of a Winter person myself, so I won't mind when it comes around.

[newyawker99]

12. We have had humidity here for the past 2 weeks!

:puke:

[jpgray]

21. Are you in Chicago?

St. Paul has been the same way.

[XNASA]

22. Sure am.

Summer here has been nearly perfect.

Then again I lived in Houston for 6 years and I'll never again complain that it's too hot.

[X_republican]

6. Here in Missouri...

...we really didn't get one. We went from spring right into fall. They said it was the 4th coolest summer on record. Three of which were in the last ten years.

Oh no, there's no human induced climatic changes going on here.

[Mr. McD]

7. Not just no

But "HELL NO". I hate winter and I am in Southern Calif. I love the long hot days of summer. :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. No. I wish I had my babies back and that we were about midway through

summer vacation. :cry:

[newyawker99]

15. Awww...Laura!

:hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

55. Thanks so much!!!

:hug: You are the best!

[RubyDuby in GA]

9. No Way!!!

98 degree days with a heat index of 104.

I live for summer. Viva la summer!!

[cmf]

10. Noooooooo!

I live in Washington. I take what I can get.

[LDS Jock]

13. I am

Even though this summer was cooler than normal, it is still going. I hate the long, hot, humid summers of Texas. I live here because of family, at least for now. I so hate the summers and miss the winters back home with snow. I miss the having seasons and seeing the leaves changed in fall and the vibrant green of spring when everything comes to life again. Now I'm depressed.

[Reciprocity]

52. I hate summers in East Texas.

Last Friday the humidity was a whopping 85% the temp a cool 82° .At times need gills to breath here.

[newyawker99]

60. 85% humidity?

:puke:

[onebigbadwulf]

14. No! It's winter here in NZ!

I HAVENT seen summer in 12 months! And wont see it for another 36!

[zanana]

36. Isn't it warm year-round in NZ?

And why won't you see summer for another 36 months?

[onebigbadwulf]

57. Well the north island is fairly warm all year...

but it's the long days and 9pm sunsets that I really miss. And yes I'm on the North Island.


But basically, I will be coming home to the states every summer (which is DEC JAN FEB!) for the next 3 years of med school.


So basically - no summer for me ever again. HAhaah enjoy it while you got it!!

[tnlefty]

16. Not yet, but I'm not a winter person

Hate the layers of clothing which creates more laundry which I really don't like. Don't like the high heating bills even though I refuse to set my thermostat above 66 to 68 degrees. I'll take the less clothes and being able to go outside without having to stop and put on a coat, etc. anyday.

[jonnyblitz]

17. yes, I don't deal with humidity well. would rather be chilly

I like HOODIE weather..:P

[newyawker99]

29. LOL!

:hi:

[bikebloke]

18. No Way!!!

In the words of someone above, I live for this time of year. Especially, as my car is my bike. It's much more comfortable to perspire than swaddle up against the chill - I ride anyway. I hate to see its passing. Also, it afforded a cheap vacation right out my door this year. I was planning a trip. But with the brownshirts screeching about killing folk so they could cancel the election, I didn't want to lose money on an air ticket. Or hang around at the other end trying to arrange a flight back when I'd rather be out exploring. So I'm hoping summer taries around a bit.

[SOteric]

19. I'm ready for the leaves to turn and the air to be crisp, cold and smokey.

But I'm not sure I'm ready to be in the classroom again just yet. *sigh*

[JohnKleeb]

20. god no

I dont wanna go back to school.

[newyawker99]

61. Hey John! Are you a senior? If yes, this is your last

year of high school. :-)

[MissMillie]

23. We didn't really have a summer this year

but I liked the long spring.

[tigereye]

24. it was a nice cool summer, not too hot

and I miss the pool. :(

but I was ready for my son to go back to school today. So yes and no.
:)

[newyawker99]

31. Wow!! This is early to go back to school.

Here in NYC the public school kids
go back the week after Labor Day.

[tigereye]

34. yeah it is a little early for his school

usually it is after Labor Day. But Labor Day is "late" this year? Or so I was told. Even our city schools are starting early.

[tnlefty]

47. Damn! The first day of school here was Aug. 9th.....my kids will be

bringing progress reports home soon.

[Kali]

50. August 9th!

Mine went back on the 16th and I thought that was pretty bad. School shouldn't start until summer is actually over. Wah...:cry:

[tnlefty]

51. I was already logging in parent volunteer hours in July

We're already into football season (marching band season for us) - oldest child. The 6th grade band will have its beginning concert in mid-Sept - middle child.

[newyawker99]

62. August 9? That is really early. When was the last

term over? May?

[UdoKier]

25. Summer? What's that?

Here on the west side of San Francisco, we have 4 seasons: Fall, Winter, Spring and FOG.


We've had maybe 3 days that topped out above 70 this year at my house. When it happens I have to drag out the inflata-pool for the kids...

[RebelOne]

26. I'm always sick of summer. I hate summer.

I'm a cold weather person. I bitch like hell about the summer heat, but you will never hear me complain about the cold in the winter. But of course, I live in Georgia where we don't have brutal winters like the northern states.

[newyawker99]

32. I hear ya Rebel!

"I bitch like hell about the summer heat, but you will never hear me complain about the cold in the winter."

Me too! :-)

[Dan-W]

27. Hey, everybody,

Happy September!

[newyawker99]

33. Happy September Dan!

:hi:

[Westegg]

28. Hell YEAH! Summer should be 2 months long. Fall should be...

4. Winter should be two months. Spring should be 3 months, but should commence on March 1st with a mandatory 68-degree sunny day. The extra month will consist of no work (but time-and-a-half pay), during which you will stay in bed with your favorite person whilst being served an endless supply of the dessert of your choice (mine's Baked Alaska).

[MrSandman]

30. No, because the end of summer

Is the harbinger of winter. I hate getting stuck in snow.

[mvd]

35. It's gone by quickly IMO

Not a hot summer, but a wet and humid one. Even warm summers usually have more days with low humidity. I wish I had been able to do more this summer, but I'm on a limited budget.

Hi, NY99. :hi:

[newyawker99]

41. Hey mvd!

:hi:

[Jokinomx]

37. What Summer? It didn't get very hot in Michigan this year... we used

our pool a total of six times. The water temp never got higher than 76 degrees. Just guessing... I bet we had two or three days over 90 degrees. The leaves are turning already... damn.. I hate winter. x(

[Baclava]

38. Hell no!

Of course, I live on the beach

[Commendatori]

39. Yes, yes and again yes

I've always thought that the only places a person should sweat are the gym and the bedroom. I hate the heat and would be perfectly happy if the temperature never, ever exceeded 60 degrees again.

[blondeatlast]

40. High of 105 degrees in Phoenix--yeah, sick I am! nt

[roguevalley]

42. I live in Alaska. This summer we had over 50 days above 70. I could go

on forever. Of course, I would be under water by then. :)

[curse10]

43. hard to say- I hate winter, but I love fall...

and the end of summer means closer to fall, but closer to winter... it's a never ending conundrum

[strategery blunder]

44. I WANT SNOW!

NOW!

[bigwillq]

45. I am never, ever sick of summer

I like the warm sunny weather we are having up in Connecticut.

But I am looking forward to Autumn.

That and Spring are really my fave seasons!

[AngryOldDem]

46. Summer? What Summer?

Leaves are turning (and in some cases dropping) and the apples on our tree are about a month ahead of schedule in terms of being ready to pick. We only had one short stretch of "hot" weather the entire season.

I fear this winter is going to a be a bitch, and it isn't just because our natural gas bill just went up by almost 50%.

[Skittles]

48. you are not in Texas

we are sick of summer by early June.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

49. FUCK SUMMER!!

Sorry for the language, folks. But I am officially tired of hot weather. I want cool breezes and I want them now.

Ug.

[ze_dscherman]

53. We had something like three weeks

... of summer this year in the part of Germany I live in. Last couple of days it was like 54 degrees in the morning and 61 max during the day - shiver! We had two hot weeks before that, and lots of cold or rain or thunderstorms through all of June and July. May was quite o.K, though.

But it is still better than the heat (100+ degrees, no AC) and drought we had for many, many weeks last year! And anyhow, the next few days are predicted quite o.K., so I'm happily looking forward to a nice Fall.

[newyawker99]

63. I am glad you don't have to face a drought this year.

:-)

[Rhiannon12866]

54. Not me!

I truly dread winter, but I live north of you!:scared:

[newyawker99]

64. Yes, you are in the snow belt. We had a lot of snow

last year in NYC. I don't mind it. I have
always loved snow.

[Rhiannon12866]

69. You have public transportation in NYC

I have to drive myself, up here in the boonies, and it scares me to death!:scared:

[tXr]

56. Usually I would say yes

by this time of the year, but the summer here (Houston) has been cooler than average. Mornings, especially, have been cooler, without the sauna-like humidity typical of this time of year.

[Rabrrrrrr]

58. I'm not a summer person

Spring and Fall, yes. A few days of summer are okay.

But give me winter!!!

Or give me Hawaii - that's just like constant spring, and the constant sunny days never bothered me there.

Heat with humidity? Forget it. Can't stand it. It's uncomfortable. Also, summer is hell on my allergies. Which again, in Hawaii, never had much of a problem.

Bring on the first frost! Hie thee here quickly, O Winter!

[newyawker99]

65. I agree.....

"Bring on the first frost! Hie thee here quickly, O Winter!"

But not too quickly because I love the fall too.

:-)

[Rabrrrrrr]

68. Yeah, Fall is nice!

I should say Hie thee quickly, O Frost; Linger, O Fall, and succor us with your crisp but allergy-free and testicle-shrinking-cold-free morns and sunny afternoons! And winter, when thou comest, comest thee at full apace with mighty smiting snows and winds and bitter cold that bids us hibernate inside by fires with warming brews, and lingereth thee fully 'til the Spring.

[LWolf]

59. Yes.

I HATE HEAT!

I love cool weather. I can't get anything done when it's hot. I'm hoping for more than 3.94 inches of rain this next year.

Summer in the Mojave:

[newyawker99]

66. Nice pic!

:thumbsup:

[Neshanic]

67. Phoenix. 110...cooling trend till October's high 90's.......YES!
