It didn’t end up snowing in September, which is great. Not that the weather has been so great in London for the past week, but at least it didn’t snow.
The funny thing is that today I pulled on my layered clothing (undershirts, long trousers and and a sweater) and went outside and thought “The weather is pretty nice out today” it was kinda warm and sunny. The extra clothes made it comfortable outside. I abandoned shorts on Monday for jeans, it’s just too cold.
I think 2007 with it’s very very late summer (right into November) was some kind of evil tease, as this year has been fairly close to COLD ALL THE TIME.
I know the calender means nothing to the weather; but the whole of the summer was a washout, one could only hope for a nice autumn. No such luck, given the forecast we should be seeing snow on the ground requiring removal by mid to late October. Some municipalities are going to really suffer this year if the weather doesn’t turn around soon.
Look for local news stories about Snow Removal budgets being drained somewhere before the end of January.
Summer 2009 in London has been lacklustre at best, and for Ontario as a whole it hasn’t been the “Greatest Summah Evah” either. Whether it was shivering in the cool July Nights or being soaked in the Early August Rain, this has been about the weakest summer I’ve experienced, and I’m from Scotland.
Let’s hope that it remains “warm” until October, but I have a sneaking suspicion that we are going to see snow by mid-October this year (considering the freak and heavy snow storm we had last October, this isn’t outside the realm of possibility)
Does anyone else think that it is a good chance that we’ll see snow on the ground by September 31st this year? The glorious weather we had just a week and a bit past appears to have been what would have been a heat wave in a normal summer (40+ degrees) but was the only thing that looked like summer this year.
I’m going to hibernate this winter, call me when the Great Lakes have dried up due to the heat.
Yup, it has finally come. Summer is here. It’s only about 2 and half months late too. We enjoyed the sun a bit and got out into the trees and around the ponds some. It was Humid and Sweaty and juuuust perfect. If I wasn’t on call today I’d be looking for a patio to embarrass myself on. Maybe next weekend will be nice? The forecasts have been so unreliable I’ll just wait until Wednesday to decide.
October Chillin’
Published by NiteMayr on October 16, 2009After a Summer that barely was, what could we expect of an Autumn that has just fell upon us?
Look at that, a ten degree miss on the “normal” target. I’ve borne the “Global Warming, what?” guffaws but at this point one has to wonder why it has been so cool this year? Is this a “La Nena” year or something? Is there a very cold breeze just hanging out over London? I was up in Kincardine a few weeks back and found it comfortable sweaty, now there is snow on the ground?
The weather this year (and really since last october 26th), has sucked, and there is nothing we can do about it.
