September and October are always warm months in the Bay Area. And after the foggy, windy summer the 70-degree days are welcome. But by mid-November I’m always ready to put away my T-shirts and pull out my warmer clothes. This year is no different.
It finally got colder here a couple of weeks ago. At least at night it’s getting cold. We put the fleece blankets on the beds and we wear slippers when we get up in the mornings.
This past weekend it started feeling really cold in the house, even during the day. We want to turn on the heat but with the unhealthy air quality we haven’t been able to open the windows and blow out the dust from the ducts.
Our house is in the mid-50s at night now and it’s hard to get up in the morning. I remember when our heat was busted and we spent an entire winter without it. We must have been so cold! I’m glad it’s fixed now, and I can’t wait until the air quality gets better and we can turn it on. We are so, so lucky to have heat.
It feels like it got cold here literally overnight with the fire! We’re on the other side of the fire- about 90 miles from it but we’re getting so much smoke we haven’t seen any sun since it started. Just outside Sac here and on Friday it was looking like dusk at 2 in the afternoon- crazy! But, that means no sun to warm the day and by 4 or 5 it was down to 45-50 so the nights are crazy cold in the high 20’s. So glad not only for heat (it was broken when we moved in) but also for warm slippers, scarves, jackets….I’d never survived someplace REALLY REALLY cold! I’m already a frozen !LOL
