Wow - temperatures in the 90s last week? Even 60s sound pretty good to me :-)
We've had to scrape ice from the car windows several mornings already. Right now we are at about 37 F right, so probably no frost on the windows tomorrow morning. Three more weeks (unless snow comes early this year), and it's time for studded winter tires on the car, and plugging in the engine heater to make sure the car starts in the mornings.
But we still have a fair amount of sunlight - about 10 hours of daylight still. We'll be losing about 4 minutes of daylight every day from now until the winter solstice on December 22nd, when we will be down to just under 6 hours of daylight and about 18 hours of night.
Thank God we live so far south that we get sunlight at all in December - up north in Tromso the sun goes under the horizon on November 27th and reappears on January 16th.
Grin,
Stein
