Early winter?

[Ed Hackenbruch]

We are in La Pine Or. at an elevation under 5000 ft. We have had frost on the jeep 2 mornings in a row now. Makes me wonder if this year will be a harder and earlier winter than everybody had last year.  I mean come on, its still August!  Jim Shepherd lives at 7200 ft. and says that he hasn't had frost yet.  Time to resume our trip south i think.

It's 96 here right now. Our 87* nights are far from frost!

[Ed Hackenbruch]

It has been in the 80's during the day and even as late as midnite is still quite nice, but between then and dawn the temp has dropped.

[belfert]

Still hotter than blazes here.  It will be in the high 80s tomorrow with a dew point near 70.  The temp isn't so bad if the dew point was low.

Ed  are you coming to the rally in Agassiz next month?

Gary

[Ed Hackenbruch]

No Gary, we are slowly headed south for the winter.  Only got 3 days of work this summer and the season is getting too short to get any more this year, so we said the heck with just sitting around anymore and figured we may as well do a little wandering on our way back to Yuma. Maybe we will see you this winter? Yuma or Quartzsite?  Clifford, been watching the temps there, looks like you guys have had a mild summer? Seems like everytime i look it is about 10 degrees below normal?  Just keep telling yourself that it is a DRY heat stroke!

Sure been unusually hot here. The feels like temp today was 105 at 5 pm. I dont like winter, but I sure wont mind a little cooler temp.

[rdbishop]

It's been 100 for the last 5 days around San Antonio. Supposed to continue for a while. I'm ready for some 70's

Hey Ed, I used to have some property in La Pine. I really wanted to retire there, gorgeous country.

Be safe and stay cool/warm where ever you are!

Over 100 here to day. I'm ready for winter!

Not sure about winter yet but this year summer up here came early, it was on a tuesday.

[Van]

Larry, sounds like a good night to get mooned LOL! thanks!

[Ed Hackenbruch]

Last tuesday or wednesday it hit 100 degrees. 2 mornings later there was frost again.  We left on Friday and today i got an email from our daughter in-law and she said it was snowing there this morning.

The run to the sun we made a couple of years ago was the high point of my life as I remember it so far, we want to do it again and hit the road full time again but for now we can't, we've initiated legal action against the doctor that poisoned libby, we kept it low key while the initial work was being done but now it's mostly in the team of baracuda's hands that we hired, they are very good lol.  Jamie has about 2 more years of school left in her own doctor program then she will have to leave the area for her graduate work and once again I think we'll be free to travel at will, then I won't care if winter comes early cause we'll be out of the snow belt and wandering around irritating people. (be warned, the white iggle could be bearing bad tidings lol)
