I think winter is soon upon us in Omaha as well. It was 80 on Tuesday and today they’re calling for 40 with 20 mph winds. I want fall back!
Have a great weekend!
It got down into the 30s here overnight, isn’t supposed to get much over 50 over the weekend. By the way I was born in Omaha, haven’t back back since I was about one. We moved to Milwaukee which is where I grew up and mostly lived until we moved to the Chicago area for good in 1986. Have a great weekend.
Thanks for the mention Roger. I don’t know Fahrenheit but it’s bee pretty cold the past couple weeks up here in Vancouver. In my post today I was just mentioning how we seemed to have skipped fall.
You’re welcome enjoyed the article. Regardless of how you measure, it’s getting too cold too early. The weather pattern really seems to be changing over the course of the year.
