The clouds paint quite a story on this Friday afternoon as a cold front moves through and temperatures and humidity levels take a nosedive. After weeks of 90-degree summer scorchers I am really looking forward to a cooler weekend and much lower humidity. There is an antique car show nearby that would sure be fun to visit - almost like the Octoberfest Vintage Car weekends in Lime Rock, Connecticut that we used to enjoy each year. (We would drive up in the '76 BMW 2002 or '66 Chevrolet Impala SS Convertible and split the days antiquing in Litchfield, Kent and surrounding towns and picking our way though vintage foreign cars and parts....now that is heaven. Ever seen a Facel Vega from France?) Tomorrow will not require sunscreen and copious liters of water as though we're out sunbathing on the beach. Glancing outside it LOOKS like it's a chilly fall day although it's still 81 degrees right now. But, ah-h-h, morning low in the 50s!! (All you guys who live in Florida know why I am so over this year's eternal summer. Enough already.)

Autumn-like temperatures due any minute

We often complain about the weather in Scotland and wish for it to be warmer, but I surely would not be able to stand 90 degrees for long. It must be too hot to do anything. Hope you enjoy the vintage car show and the cool weather.
ReplyDeleteIt was 31 degrees this morning...the 50's sound like a heat wave!
ReplyDeleteI used to go to Lime Rock, upteen million years ago!
Enjoy your weekend.
Sunny :)
We've got about 14C to look forward to today, so fall is well advanced here in the UK after a great Indian summer. You can almost see by the colour temperature of the shot that it is cooler.
ReplyDeleteSince it's cooling off, I'll start heading home on monday.
ReplyDeletehere 5 C degres evening, 10 C degres morning, in few words cold... im so sad!!
