The best part about the US going into Autumn is I'm in the last few days of Winter...so Spring is in sight....

In Texas it's still Summer with days over 100 degrees and nights barely getting below 90 degrees. It was 113 degrees at my house a few days ago.

I live in The North Of A Northern Country, In The Northern Hemisphere. Not As Bad As Some, But we are lucky if we get Two Months Summertime each year, then the rest of the year is grey, cold and overcast, needing warm clothes and Central Heated Homes. My Home Heating Was Switched on in July.

Autumn? Here, that's a 48-72 hr. hiatus between broiling and cold. The weather has been very hot all summer, so no telling what winter will bring. My guess is it will be colder and wetter than usual.
