It's Time For A Sweater

After a warm start of autumn, last night, the temperature has plunged.
In many places in Switzerland the temperature has dropped below the 0 degrees Celsius (32 F).
We were a bit more lucky here in the south with 3 degrees Celsius (37 F).
Today is sunny, but the wind blows, shaking the leaves that are falling on the ground.
I am glad that I have already placed the leaves net over our pond.
I will remove it before the first snow, hoping that no more leaves will be on the trees by that time.
I took a photo of the vines covering the perimeter wall of one of our neighbor.
The colors under the sun looked beautiful.
Did you also experience a sudden drop in temperature?

Here in Florida, we have experienced a sudden drop in temperature, but it is a temporary affect of being hit by a hurricane! Just by the nature of how a hurricane circulates (counter-clockwise), it will suck colder air down from the norther to Florida. In looking at our forecast for the next several days, it appears our temperatures will drop about 20 degrees F (6-7 degrees C), which will be very nice since we haven't had much Autumn whether yet in Florida.

@moffittjc You are right, the media tend to exaggerate most events, except when we should have all the reason to be scared... like the upcoming US Presidential elections.

@sueznewz2 It's too early for winter, the next week the temperature should be in a range of 7 to 15 degrees Celsius, it's not too bad.

I love the look of your photo. Many leaves are falling here and they are still green. I suspect that it's because we had too much rain this year, even if they want to convince us that it has been a dry summer . I cannot understand the reason of this brainwashing.

Pretty! Well, for a few days, we had a sort of drop in temps - more in the evenings and the mornings that we needed a jacket. It was actually cold during those times, but still warm during the day. But now, today, we are back to hot. I walked out with a jacket this morning, but soon realized it wasn't necessary. So although it felt like autumn for a while - I think we are back to summer again.

@silvermist We have big differences in temperature from one day to another. Even in winter, we can drop to -10 one day and if the day after the warm wind (called phoen) blows, we go up 15 degrees.

Yes, we did. Our temps were 78 yesterday and it dropped down to forty last night. I thought it was supposed to get up to the sixties, but it only got a little over 50 today. Brrr. I think it's supposed to warm a little next week, but I'll have to look again to be sure. It's harder to do windows when we have to wear a coat.
Pretty leaves.

@MarshaMusselman It's raining from 3 days, but we had a warm wind blowing from Africa that make the temperature raise, but also brought Sahara sand, that is very unpleasant.

@LadyDuck The rains can bring our temps down as it did the last time it rained a few days ago. We had a frost last night, but I don't know if it was a hard one that was forecast or not. It may warm again next week, but it could rain some more also.
