Actually hot, it was 73 when I got home from work, which is warmer than I usually enjoy but comfortable, but up to 78 at 9pm when turned the ac on for an hour. Like you would expect this to happen around 3-5 pm, not 8-10. Maybe my place just has amazingly superior insulation? Or maybe amazingly shitty insulation? The south side does take the sun all day so I think it's just radiating that heat even after the outside temp goes down.

This is fascinating. I’m curious does this phenomena also happen on overcast days or just sunny days?

this year i installed a solar powered attic vent fan, along with some lower intake vents at the eaves. game changer for the 2nd floor in the summer

Wow. I didn’t know this was a thing. I just bought a super expensive new furnace/heat pump and ac unit before summer and it did make a huge difference in pumping more cool air up stairs, and lower cost. But, I didn’t know to talk to anyone about attic vents. Hmmmmm

Spent Saturday sitting in a park watching one of the little 'Croppings play tennis. Sat in my lawnchair, enjoyed peaceful tennis vibes and cool fall air, sipped coffee and intermittently watched the 'Cats. I'm gonna soak up this fall.

The WW fam had a nice Sunday in the park as well. Sounds of acorns dropping, some leaves falling, and kids shrieking really is a wonderful combo.

Guys, its not going well. Winter has already gripped my ballz and made me irrationally angry at pretty much everything. I hate it so much. I'm going to the beach in Feb, but i'm afraid I won't make it that long without killing a drifter or something. Should I get one of those lights or something? Any advice is appreciated.

Where do you live that late fall feels like winter already? taking supplemental vitamin D and getting UV lights definitely can help.

Yeah, that's the issue. I'm already losing it and it isn't even winter yet. May look into some lights.

I think the Germans have a word for this season. Roughly translates to something like "the gray cold bleakness."

I searched for the winter lovers here, but they are too cowardly and hide.

If they are found, I will demand that they are brought to justice.

Winter is my second favorite. It was nice today, Thursday and Friday were worse than summer though.

Winter is great. So much better than 103. I went to get lunch & it was 18. Didn’t even need the seat warmer. 36 hours of needing the heavy socks is so much better than 6 weeks of living on the surface of the sun.

It's supposed to be like 60's-70's when I go back to TX. That's how winter should be.

Kansas perspective: early winter is great. Mid jan to mid feb is frozen hell and only redeemed by basketball.

I went ice skating in central park today! It was like 15 degrees but still fun!

Not a single person is even really arguing winter is good (impossible) they are just making excuses for why it shouldn’t be seen as so bad.

Very revealing. All in front of baby Jesus. Shameful.

I am arguing it is good in front of Jesus and Mary and the shepherds and King Herod and Frosty and the Elves and Coach Tang

Currently enjoying my coffee outside with the nice cool fresh air, not an insect in sight.
