Also noticed last night while chilling out on our deck - no more Fireflies.

the bugs have died down significantly in the last few weeks, I no longer need to wear a hoodie while walking the dog.

Actually this is the worst time of the year for bugs on the ocean beaches. Unbearable at times.

The Perseid meteor shower...the past three years along Rt. 9 in CT, south of Hartford, it coincides with some of the first leaves changing. I think the southern CT River Valley is one of the first places in southern New England where the leaves start changing.

Flock O Ducks, southbound.

Multi day, cool East breeze at beach.

Noticeable pick up in activity on AlpineZone!

Local ski shop receiving deliveries of this upcoming winter's stock.
Days are getting shorter

Beaches always bad for bugs in August; bugs have not been bad on hikes in Gunks and Cats.

Sometimes bugs are so bad at Mohonk and Sam's Point it can be unbearable.

I live in a Wooded area and love it when the Katydids start calling when it gets dark there so loud we can hear them inside. It's music to me but my wife hates it.

Labor Day when the leaves start losing their green I start thinking about skiing. It's often almost three months from there to real skiing but I love September and Octorber, so no complaints.

Had leaves on the lawn when I mowed it last weekend.I have a swamp maple that is almost fully red by the end of August.The persoids are always a benchmark for me as is my poolwater temps dropping.

I saw a woman wearing a wool scarf on the subway last night... And I don't think the train was coming from Brooklyn...

 

[dlague]

Definitely getting dark earlier - wanted to mow my lawn after dinner and by the time I was ready it was starting to get darker.

 

[WoodCore]

Steam coming off the water early in the morning at the local reservoir I pass on my commute.

 

[BenedictGomez]

the first issue of ski magazine should be arriving soon.

That's a good one.

For me it's in September when ticket sales and dates for the new Warren Miller movie begins to be advertised.

Today I mounted bindings to the K2 Aftershocks that I bought from prsboogie. My wife(non-skiing) was wondering why I needed to do it since it is still August.

We are sick!

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me (maybe AZ'ers collectively aren't the best authority on the normalcy of this?)
