what's your weather currently like?

I used to have an unwritten rule that the furnace can't be used till Novenmber 1st. Some years that worked out and some not. Some years it was pretty chilly in the house the last two weeks of October and some years my family would just wait till I left for work and then turn the furnace on.

We just turn the thermostat down to 66 in May and if it needs to come on it comes on

After it starts getting cold we turn it up to 68 during the day and back down to 66 to sleep

Cool 58 F (14.4 C) degrees.

We topped out at 19.2 (66f) today, and not a cloud in the sky. It would normally be t-shirt weather, but the wind was gusting in the mid 60s (40mph) so the feel like temp barely hit 13 (55f).

Raining and cool, pretty blustery too

Perfect here 74° and sunny. Which is a little below normal. Coming up to best weather months of the year being September and October. Nice warm days and cool nights with not a lot of rain.

Bright sun, wind gusting to 66kmh, and low humidity. So no car washing today, everything is drying too quickly.

9.8c feels like 5.8c snow down to 300 metres.
If it wasn't for the wind and rain it would be crispy, typical Tasmania Spring weather.

Raining raining raining

But at least the wind died down

Clear but very windy, 11C/51f with a feels like of 2C/35f. Winter's last gasp, fingers crossed.

First day of spring, a very pleasant 22C/72f, with a nice breeze and a few clouds.

Now why isn't spring around September 21 when we start fall.

Australia and New Zealand follow the meteorological calendar, so the hottest 3 months are summer and the coldest 3 are winter, and the others are the others, and the seasons always start on the first of the month. Whereas you guys follow the astronomical calendar, basing your seasons off the longest and shortest days.

Does that mountain have a name, Chilly? Or shall I just refer to it as Chilly's Mountain?

That is Matanuska Peak, and it represents the westernmost end of the Chugach Mountain Range. They are east of me and are separated from the Talkeetna Mountain Range that is north of me by the Matanuska River valley that flows downs roughly east to west and then south into the Knik arm of Cook Inlet. The river flows from the Matanuska Glacier which cut the broad valley the river runs in that separates the two mountain ranges

Our borough (county) is Mat-Su Borough, named after the Matanuska and Susitna River Valleys that frame the area

There WILL BE a pop quiz later that counts for 30% of your final grade
