Three Cheers for Mother Nature!

Thankfully the first winter storm of the season will arrive next Tuesday bringing a few inches up to 2 ft of snow to the Southern Rockies. What a blessed event this will be this rotten year. It's always a thrill to see the first fresh snow on the peaks each fall.

No snow in the valleys but we will have heavenly highs in low 70s next week. What a blessing!

Sounds good to me! Enjoy the weather and I am sure the first snow will be lovely and welcome!!

Coming this Tuesday night we will dip down to freezing here in the city. The highs on M-T-W will only be in the 50s. I knew it was coming b/c I saw a guy on TWC talk about the jetstream activity way over in the Far East and how it causes a whiplash in the arctic air mass to move farther down on our side of the earth. Interesting.

@Kachina624

Well we arent getting snow here in Texas but the first cool front is coming next week...they're predicting a high in the upper 70's on Wednesday and the rest of the week in the low to mid 80's (a far cry from 100's and upper 90's)...I CANT WAIT!!!

I heard some folk lore----ABOVE normal hot summer=cold winter....since we didnt get a real Texas winter last year hope we do this time around, and we certainly met the requirements for the summer, even hotter than normalll....

Enjoy! We have an excessive heat warning starting tomorrow through Monday, sheesh. I haven’t heard if we are part of your cool down starting Tuesday but one can dream.

The Weather Channel video shows where the cool down will happen:

@Spurt It's very early for an Artic cold front, especially in Texas. Usually comes about 2nd week of October. I bet there's still some hot weather coming but a respite is sure nice. It 94-96° here through Labor Day.

@Kachina624

If we have a "normal" year...its not unusual for us to get a teaser---temps in the upper 70's/low 80's mid-September....then it warms up in the low 90's and then finally in October we get a nice cool down....thats if its NORMAL.....

Tommorrow 90, and then 92 Saturday and 94 Sunday & Monday....

I don't think there is 'normal' weather any more. We've managed to mess that up, too, unfortunately.

We're under an Excessive Heat Warning again from Friday morning until Monday night with 110-112 temps expected. Ugh.

@Kachina624 enjoy! We have had two days of rain after an exceptionally dry month. Many wells have gone dry. I can almost hear the garden sigh in relief. LM

I love the quick season changes. I agree that hot summers usually end up with having cold winters. We are already seeing some leaves change in the northeast and the squirrels are gathering their acorns already, that 's always a sign of a snowy cold winter to come. Last year was quite mild so we're due.

In Arizona we have at least three more days of 110 plus. Send it this way. We do cool down to below 100 next Wednesday 😀

Cold front won't make it to Florida this time!

@Kachina624 - That's sounds divine - I wish we would get some cooler weather. The heat index today is about 108 - I really do much better in cold weather. They said cooler weather would be here this weekend. I don't consider a drop from 93 to 89 a cool front (for me anyway).

Wow that sounds wonderful! Would like to have some snow here but at least it has been a little bit cooler this week.

I can't wait for that first blast of cool, fall air. This summer in Western NY has been unbearably hot. I have been staying in most of the summer and not because of the virus. My body just can't tolerate temperatures over 75. It will be great to be able to go for long walks again once it finally cools off.
