I'm in Newport, RI  and the water temperature just dropped back below 65 for the first time since spring. Summer seems to be officially over, at least here. 

The leaves turned about three weeks earlier this year than last though.

I think it's going to be a cooooold winter.

Weather has been mostly the same up here in Madison. I was hoping for a
few more opportunities to go out on my motorcycle, but it seems like
that may not happen. I probably will try to hold out putting it into
storage as long as possible anyway.

I'm with your wife on this one, I cannot *stand* the cold. I've lived
here my entire life and have been trying to move away the past couple of
years, ideally to Seattle or something. Jobs are hard though, and moving
far away is kinda scary!
