It's a tease for me... I love the chill in the morning, but I really start getting excited about it around Labor Day. Of course, Labor Day is very late this year.

Leaves turning, apple cider, pumpkins and the cool air really get me going. Some people hate New England because of the winter, but hey this is why I love the place. Every few months the weather changes so you're not stuck with one weather pattern. There are tons of things I like about all the seasons. The top things I love about each season in order

1st = Winter - Skiing and snow
2nd = Spring - Spring skiing and the ability to get back out on the road bike and to start to do summer type things
3rd = Fall - Mountain biking with the leaves down and the general fall atmosphere with pumpkins and apples, etc.
4th = Summer - All the great outside activities (Last because I really don't like the heat, unlike winter where you can put more cloths on to stay warm there is only so much you can do in the summer to stay cool)

Sorry for getting side tracked.....

It got into the 40's for the first time last night here in NJ. It's so nice to walk outside and not be hit with a wall of humidity, not to mention it's comfortable at night.

a little chilly this morning 48 degrees here in south/central Connecticut, it definately feels like fall.
Went fishing in Long Island Sound with the boss before work this morning. Out on the boat, catching bluefish (and a bass) before work is a great way to start the day! September is just an awesome month.

It really feels like fall today. Grey skies, windy....even some leaves are starting to be blown off the trees here.

This is an interesting storm. The weathermen have had a hard time with it. If we remain in a pattern like this where storms seem to want to form near the east coast then ride up it, we're golden. If we could get one like this in Nov/Dec I would think the mountains would be getting snow.

I can tell you from being here that the mountains would be getting nothing thanks to that damn high pressure... it needs to go :p. There hasn't even been a cloudy day since I moved up here, I'm getting sick of 70 and sunny day in and day out haha.

I was up in Bethel/ Newry this weekend with the lady doing some cute couplesy things. The leaves are starting to explode up there. Got some great pics from the covered bridge near SR and Grafton Notch State Park. I'll have to post some when I get home. The office "blocks" photobucket and such.

Spent Saturday hiking around for a bit but there was enough wind to give the air that amazing fall bite. It was warm, but the smell was unmistakable. Beautiful day and chilly at night.
