The Friday early morning before we got crazy hot it was 49 degrees. Two days later it was 100.

I don’t think it’s supposed to get above 70 here until Friday. Then a balmy 73-75 Friday to Sunday.

I got a taste of it last week with a heat index of 117 on Thursday. A day and a half was enough to last all year.

I couldn’t even imagine what you folks go through all the time, a tip of my hat to all of you guys

Seems it’s hot in most of the country this year. It’s an El Nino year, so weather will be crazy.

Good! I love winter and I hope we get 3’ of snow this year. Fat chance being in the south though.

Come up to Utah. I heard this year was the most snow we've ever had on record (I didn't care enough to verify it). All i know is we had crazy amounts and we really lucked out that there wasn't more flooding.

The upcoming winter is supposed to be more of the same

Can't go wrong. So many great places. I'm especially fond of Southern Utah.

Dude, that’s awesome. That’s what inspires us to try and make the trip that way one day. We almost made a 4x4 overlanding trip to Moab last year, but work wouldn’t allow at the time.

If you ever get out this way, let me know. I can send you some routes and trails that you'll really like.
4x4 offroading is a great way to get to places you couldn't otherwise.

And the mountain biking is fantastic as well.

That's true. I'm too uncoordinated for that, but my two friends are way way into it

We had the absolute worst winter in Mass last year. It was mostly record-setting warmth except for one day when we had record-setting cold and we got about 2" of snow....we ended up going sledding as a family once and it was basically slush. Hoping we get "seasonal" weather this year - some days in the teens and twenties and enough snow to stick around and enjoy winter sports for a couple months.

I haven’t lived there in more than a decade, but I will always call St. George home. I’ve traveled a lot in the last 12+ years, but I’ve never found a place that could replace that bright red desert.

Okay..... it's this late and I'm still trying to figure where to mount a rig for 2x4s (I really sucked bad at those)

I'll never be as good as Jo, Bennie or Sue Ann ... but damnit I need to do better by Thanksgiving lol
