What is going on with the heat? (Johnson City, Kingsport: house, schools)

[dreamofmonterey]

where is the fall weather? Last year I think by now it was at least pleasant, cool afternoons, etc.

You ought to try living in Nashville. My family went on vacation to Maine and left Nashville the last week of August and it was 105 degrees. Got to Maine and it was in the 70's. We went camping in Acadia National Park and the nighttime temperatures were down to the upper 40s and lower 50s. We tent camp, so it got a little on the cool side at night.

We were in the low 90's yesterday and are hoping for rain today. I am not sure how dry it has been in the Tri-Cities, but we only have mowed our lawn , well what is left of it, three times this summer.

Hopefully, both the Tri-Cities and Nashville will have fall this year. I am afraid we are going to skip fall and go directly into winter.

My folks live in Gray, and I am hoping to make a trip up that way soon. I miss the Tri-Cities!

Even though I have lived in Nashville since 1982, I still tell people I am from Johnson City.

I lived in the Johnson City in the late 50s, in Kingsport in the mid 60s, back to Johnson City in the late 60s, Gray in the early to mid 70s and Bluff City in the mid 70s to early 80s.

Daddy was in the Air Force, so we moved quite a bit. Every time he was stationed overseas, we moved back to the Tri-Cities area. I went to 14 schools in 12 years. The Air Force didn't believe in keeping families in one place very long.

Here's hoping to fall's arrival very soon!!

Thanks buzz-


I am happy to say this is the furthest south I will live- I escaped S Florida and the horiffic humidity in 2005!

looks like fall is arriving slowly but surely. much better day today overall! i love the mornings here with temps 30 degrees cooler then the hot part of the day.

Yes, I think it's been way too hot here, and I've lived here for 20 years. Maybe I'm just getting more and more impatient. I love cool weather and wouldn't really mind skipping ahead to November weather. It did rain up here today in JC but it was HOT, humid sticky rain. Uuuugh.

Buzz, my family in Greeneville has only mowed about four times this year. I think the Tri-Cities (or atl east south JC where I live) has gotten a bit more rain. I know that up in Grey, at least in parts, they are very very dry.

My back yard was a combination of grass and weeds. The drought killed all the weeds, but the grass survived. Now I realize I don't have that much grass, so I am going to re-seed the yard before the weeds take hold again.

We are supposed to have cooler temperatures for a week. Highs in the mid 80's and lows in the 60's.

I remember living at my folks house in Gray, while they were at their summer home in Florida. I think that whole summer I only mowed once. It was a very dry summer that year.

Boy isn't that the truth! I live in Gray, it will be pouring in Kingsport, pouring in JC, and not a drop in Gray.
I have been doing the rain dances in the back yard but not much luck yet

We've been here right at a month now and only two days of rain. MB, you'll have to show us that rain dance sometime.

I wonder if summer will ever end.... It was 93° @ my house today... and that was in the shade!

It was mid-80s in Ohio this week...very warm for us in October. Usually we're looking for frost on the pumpkin. It's been just gorgeous, clear, colorful, like the lawns, trees, sky have been washed with a gloss. We will take the heat, because it will soon be LONG gone.
