Finally, the chill is back! (San Diego, August: construction, college, to live in)

[Suburban_Guy]

How nice that I finally had to wear a sweater and use blankets the past few nights!

Can't remember the last time I had to wear one to keep warm at night!

Some people dislike winter and experience some sort of depression from winter months.

Not I.

I actually love the colder winter months instead of the miserable hot and humid summers.

I love this time of year too. It's never too cold to get outside and do stuff, but that nip in the air between November and February, especially at night, is glorious. The "winter" months in San Diego are my favorite time of the year.

Finally!!!

I’m loving this weather too. It’s my fav time of year as well. Been sick n tired of these minor heat waves and warm weather recently when it’s supposed to be cold.

It feels good to also put on a sweater or jacket, it’s comforting.

Now bring on the rain!

yes, I'll add a me too to that. I work outdoors and it is so nice in the winter here.

You actually think it's miserable hot and humid here? lol! Not the first time I heard that from many SD natives, makes me laugh because having lived in the Northeast and Southeast prior to moving here, the weather here is mild year round, the only thing I notice is the dewpoint drop which is not something i prefer when it goes too low.

If you like Winter, you should relocate the the Northeast and get a taste of gray skies for months on end, cold drafty air with dryness akin to the desert. Wind chills in teens to sub zero levels. Getting up at 6AM to shovel snow off of your car and deice/defrost, allowing it to warm-up for 15 minutes with the heater on high, only to still wear layers, hat and gloves and boots when you get in and drive to work seeing trucks and cars driving too fast and jack knifing.

Leave work, it's already dark and see that it's snowing, rinse, wash and repeat, then having to contend with the commute home.

No thanks, been there done that already. Sure nice to look at but to live in, takes a toll. Seasons here are a cake walk in comparison, even when people say "Humid" they have no idea what Humid feels like in the Northeast during the Summer or the South.

yes right you are, and don't forget when it does thaw out in the Spring you've got mud everywhere. I work in masony construction and moved here in Dec of 2001 - I thought I died and went to heaven

True on the whole, but it sucks having 100 degree temperatures in late October. When I watch college football games across the country, I miss my Northeast stomping grounds the most from late September through October.

Personally I had no problem with Northeast winters and I miss the thrill of snowstorms. I left for San Diego to get away from the Northeast summers.

Put me on the list of "Me Too!"

I hate San Diego summers and this year, the bad summer weather was 5 months long, June through the end of October. You can bundle up to deal with cold, but with heat, at a certain point, only A/C will do, and that's expensive nowadays.

Weather Wimps Unite!

Cool cloudy days means I can go out and clean up the property comfortably.

.

Spending three weeks a year in August in South/Central Texas every summer then coming back to SD always feels good. Even if it's 95F at 3PM in East County, the heat without humidity/high dew points here in SD doesn't feel bad at all.

I hate high humidity so much.

I love seeing some folks in SD wearing heavy puffer-style down jackets and thick wool hats Nov-Mar ... mid-day on a sunny day!
