Where did fall weather go???? I have been decorating and watching Christmas movies with the doors and windows open, and wearing shorts. Something is just wrong with that when you're used to it being wintertime for the holidays.

I always wanted to visit Australia, now I know how the Aussies feel around this time of year!!! LOL

Ha! You folks are in the wrong places! Its just above 32 here in NY and I nearly froze my fingers off taking pics of lake ice this afternoon. We've got white stuff on the ground, too.

So who wants to trade? I'd like a tropical Christmas, myself :D

Unless something in recent memory has changed. DFW never gets "real" christmas weather.

LOL, send it this way Laurie! It's 21 degrees F here (-11C) with light snow and a wind chill of 11 degrees F!

Yep, just hit 10 F here with the windchill. I've got Jimmy Buffett on singing "Boat Drinks".

So who's up for a DPC roadtrip to Key West?
12/03/2005 05:52:50 PM · #12
it's freezing here - i'll give some of this cold weather for your christmas, if you'll send some warm stuff my way ;} we aren't even close to the 'real' winter with -20F temps in the morning and a 15mph wind...


12/03/2005 05:53:47 PM · #13

It was 78 here and sunny. In fact, it's rained only once in the month I've been here. I like the Southern Hemisphere!

Ah, Binghamton! Makes me want a Spiedie!
How's Universal Instruments doing these days? I used to visit those guys 4x per year. Loved flying into Link Field, shaved-off mountaintop that it is...

Au contraire.. I do beleive there was snow last year in DFW during Christmas time. Not much, but enough to build a really diformed snowman!

Anywas, it's hot here too, but it's predicted to get down into the 30's next week. How reliable that is, I have no idea, but my fingers are crossed!

You know the area? I don't find a lot of folks who do! Universal's still doing okay as far as I hear, I have an Uncle who works for them.
And you gotta love ol' Link field, shaved-off and all :)
Next time I'm out to lunch, I'll eat a Spiedie for you.

I wish it was as tame as that. I am a Brisbane girl (currently in Seattle), but I hate the heat.

Mid 90's F - often higher - nearly always VERY high humidity. Very little relief at night (perhaps down to 80, humidity still sky high, the mozzie screens keeping the heat in the house). All that for 6 months of the year (it is way too hot for 9 months as far as I'm concerned).
2 months of "winter" - down to a "freezing cold" 40F overnight on a few nights. No frost where we live. During the day, it warms to about low 70's with blue skys and lots of sunshine. Winter is divine in Brisbane.

Summer means desperately needing a cold shower, but the "cold" water comes out of the tap (faucet, for you) at about 95 F, so there goes any idea of cooling off. The effort of drying yourself makes you sweat so much that you have NO hope of ever getting dry. My husband shaves in front of the airconditioner in our ONE airconditioned room, otherwise the shaver just gets stuck. The dog refuses to leave the airconditioned room.

I once had some pretty wax christmas ornaments from Germany - they melted from the heat in the house and were ruined. A real tree doesn't survive for very long, plastic is the smarter way to go. Christmas dinner for me has to be just cold salads, in that heat I couldn't face a "real" dinner.

Not everybody suffers from the heat as much as I do, but I am SO grateful to not be "stewing in my own juices" at Christmas while I'm over here, that I don't even complain about the weather here in Seattle. In MY book, anything is better than constantly hovering on the verge of a heatstroke.

it's 30 here. i slept with my wool hat on last night. :/ i took my storm windows off so i could paint the house, and now it's like living in a wind tunnel.

I live in Hawaii. Haha, can't really get much hotter than that. 90 degrees..
12/03/2005 07:03:56 PM · #24
It was about 95 degrees today in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. We've got the air conditioner cranked!

Sounds like a plan. I heard that you used to be able to dance to live music in Mallory Square at sunset. Sure hope that still goes on - it'd be fun, and I suspect a great photo op! ;)
