Question: why is it still warm?

I'm confused.

Winters getting shorter and shorter. Able to wear linen until last week this year.

It may be shorter, but supposedly this winter will be brutal temp wise. Here's to hoping I'm wrong.

No idea on temps. Farmer's Almanac vs. el Nino vs. Climate Change.

"Bottom line - We’ll probably be tracking more winter storm threats than last winter, especially later in the season, with the potential for snowfall much closer to average or even above average. The forecast remains more uncertain for temperatures, which will ultimately determine how much precipitation falls as snow in a region that perennially lives on the rain-snow line."

I think anyone complaining about todays weather in DC needs to be treated with suspicion. It was effing perfect. It was also basically dead nuts on the average temp for late Oct/early Nov.

Still too warm. But yes, was nice not to have my brain fried.

Visually appealing. No doubt. But if I never experienced snow again I wouldn’t be upset.

This is what makes us all different and great.

I like snow, and a few weeks of cold temps, but I like them IN THE WINTER!

When it’s autumn, I prefer, well, autumnal temps like today (Which was a darn near perfect day)

Im used to English weather, where it’s rarely over 30c and doesn’t touch 14c in November

22c coming up is crazy

You also have to remember that DC is farther south than Barcelona

Yes, it’s so funny when I explain this to people. The way I explain it is east coast weather south of New York is closer to Italian weather than England. What makes you think you can take clothes built for english weather & be happy in Italian or American weather? You can’t.
