So far, October has been mild, but not drastically so for this region. The rain is re-establishing a foot-hold and the nights are getting noticably chilly. Here within The Pavilion, the T-shirts and "lighter wear" are being replaced with heavier garb. R.H. and I are playing the usual "game of chicken," seeing who wimps out first and fires up the furnace. It's already kicked on by itself when the interior temps dropped just below 65 F a couple of nights ago...
The possible longterm effects of Global Warming present a horrifying scenario, but mild winters do mean lower heating bills. Nobody around here wants to (literally) pay for heavy snows, freezes and ice storms. -Not to mention that god-awful East wind that sucks the heat out of here like a blood-starved vampire.
This is the seasonal adjustment period, when it finally sinks in that any sensible person won't be wearing shorts outside for at least the next 4-5 months. Time to stash the electric fans, stock up on firewood and cuddle up to your girl... -Or- spend more time at her place!
