    And we are just about to end our 80 degree days. Haven'y had but a couple in the last week or 2. I love it when we are in the 50's and 60's for the highs.

    Mid 80s earlier today, high 60s here now. Looks like it's just about time to close the pool for the season. Some high 70s remaining, but overnight lows in the 40s and 50s are coming fast. I'm almost ready mentally to start running the stove again. Last year I held off my first fire until October 10th, and will probably hold out until at least early October again. Cool mornings and warm days; I love this time of year.

    OMG! That should be a rare thing. It can be done but certainly is not the best. I will sometimes get our stovetop to near 700 degrees but that certainly is not the norm. In the real cold of winter is the only times we bring the stove temp over 500-550. At 1000 degrees you are flirting on danger.

    What kind of stove do you have? Also, how old is it? What do you use for taking temp? Where on the stove to you take this reading?

    We already hit our high for the day according to the guessers. It was a midnight with a temp of 71.

    Cooler temps are here with the rest of the month's highs being in the 60's.

    Sunday's overnight will be in the mid 30's.........so they say. We'll see.

    Yesterday turned out beautiful. Out thermometer only got to 82 and a low dew point. A bit breezy.

    Unsure of what the weather will do this week. Some say very cool while others are saying the opposite. We'll have to take whatever Nature sends.
