I live in Ohio, and when I returned here two years ago one of the things I was not looking forward to was the "dog days" of summer, particularly August. But here it is August 30 and it's 58 degrees at 11AM!!! I have my windows open because I love fresh air but I am wearing a sweater, I can't believe it's this cold. We had the second coolest July on record, too. This is grand! Is the weather weird where you are? Is it cooler than usual?

Bunny!! I was stuck in Phoenix for 29 YEARS!!!! OMG, I can't believe I've found someone that feels like I did. I always said if I every got divorced or widowed, all anyone would see was my dust headed east! Well, it was divorce and thank goodness it was when the sons were 17 and 18. Now I'm home, I can't believe how beautiful it is, I never get tired of seeing all the gorgeous trees and I even love the weeds, even after being here for 2 years already. I was in AZ when it hit 122 and Sky Harbor shut down! If there's a hell on earth, it's the deserts of Arizona! I hope you get back here someday. There's no more beautiful place on earth to be than Ohio and I thank God every day that I made it back, no joke. I'm so glad I came home!

you and my oldest daughter are the smart ones. when hubby passed i had a new house here that i loved and a job i loved. so i was stupid and thought i'll just stay a while until i hear of a nice place in ohio, well, got sick, lost the job, lost the house and kids drained me of everything, so now im stuck back here with oldest son. my daughter in ohio i dont get along with really well and altho she acts like she cares shes really never been nice enough to ask/let me come there till i find something. all family seems to have their own agenda there.

Its really weird to have both hot and cold. Is it 58 degree C ? Then how come you are wearing a sweater all of a sudden. It seems your Ohio climate is all unpredictable. I wish I were in similar climatic region

It's 58 Fahrenheit, rather chilly and most unusual for August! You may not have a climate like this but when I was doing articles on India, I was amazed at how beautiful your country is. I definitely would not like the heat but the flowers and other plants and animals are gorgeous.

If it is so chilly in August as opposed to ours here that we just sweat down you have such a pleasant weather, what would be your condition in January and December? Yes India is gorgeous. Beautiful indeed. You should rather come to this part where I am living, the North East part of the country. Unbelievably marvelous.

Maybe its coming from the hurricanes? I live on the east coast and I just heard the weather say were going to be getting temperatures in the 70s and to me that is thee perfect weather. Right around this time it becomes the countdown to fall and I long for the cool breeze, the quiet nights for walking and all the decorating, especially Halloween. I was a New Englander so I think that is where that came from.

I guess it could be, we've had a couple go up the east coast recently and another is in the works. Isn't Fall wonderful?! I can't wait to get out my Fall silk flowers and Halloween decorations!

The weather here has bben different too. The nights have been so cool that we have actually had the heater on already. The days have been much cooler than they were last year too, but there have been days when the air conditioner has been needed. The past few days, we have had the air on for a little while in the early after noon because it was so warm and then the heater on at night because it was so cool. Definately weird weather for this time of year.

We've had a couple of really mild winters here, apparently--I just moved back to Ohio (where I was born and raised) and thought the winters weren't as snowy as I remember and my neighbors agreed. I wonder what this winter will be like, with all the unusually cool weather this summer? I hope your winter isn't bad!

Thank you, I love green grass! I lived a long time in the desert where there is no green and now I cannot get enough of it. It's good to be home where there are trees and grass.

I love a windy day but I don't think I'd like it all the time! Here we usually have gentle breezes and it gets windy during thunderstorms and in the fall and spring and winter. Breezes and wind keep the air moving and seem to clean it and make it fresh!

Much cooler here than usual here in WI. On a "warm" day we get up to maybe low 70's. The kids need a light jacket in the morning but it's absolutly perfect the rest of the day. I kinda think we're getting that all desireable California weather here in the midwest And I don't miss the heat wave either, I hate having to sit in the a/c as we have no shade in our yard til after dinner & I hate running up the electricity bill if I don't need too!
