Okay, this is enough already. I keep checking the weather to see if there is any sign of a cold front, even a week out. Nope.

I seem to remember us getting our first good one about mid-Sept last year?

I just saw that we're supposed to be 10 degrees cooler tomorrow? I'm not seeing it.

I wondered if this year wasn't going to have the lowest average highs as well as the lowest average lows that we've seen in a number of years. I was right - it's been a chilly year. Brrrr.......

Thanks for the stats and data...

I'm pretty sure the first cold front was around the second week of October last year. I remember it happened over a weekend where the highs were in the 50's. I remember walking outside and feeling shocked to have it be so cold all of a sudden. It was a pretty quick cold front though; if I remember right, it was in the 70's and 80s again by mid week. I was looking at Accuweather's new 45 day forecast earlier and according to it (not sure how accurate it is), in the next 45 days, we only have 1 day where we are below 80. Should be interesting to see how this fall plays out.

Cold front to me is anything that kicks the temperatures to highs in the 80s. Or even the low 90s
