Eesh, I don't think the hottest day this summer was even that warm! Most of the warmest part of the summer was I think was in the 70s. Unfortunately August was more like fall as we had a lot of days in the high 50s with rain. :P So I'm not really surprised that winter is trying so hard to start early, but hopefully it holds off for a few more weeks at least. lol

If you like cold weather you should totally come to AK, ehehe.
