We've also had lows in the 30's and 40's overnight the past two nights; yesterday morning our oil furnace decided to act up but the technician traced it to a transfomer that blew.......it was nice to get the heat back up.....even though once the sun came up, our temps were in the high 60's.....with abundant sunshine.
Totally autumn weather. NO HUMIDITY.

HOWEVER, this past summer, we couldn't escape the daily humidity which is what people up north really do not care for. We also had many many days of temps in the high 90's which were no different than Lady Lake Florida's temps. We also had a lot of rain, as did Florida......both states had high humidity non stop. I'm still trying to compare apples vs. oranges..........however, we now have the "break" in the heat and humidity and autumn is gorgeous up here........then the snow flies.
That's when everyone thinks Florida.

Weather is weather and it comes and goes.

What I'm looking forward to are the ONE LEVEL HOMES......with no steps, which makes carrying laundry up and down much easier. Florida homes need a lot less maintenance than northern homes.......but the weather is very unpredictable up here the past several years.

Everyone enjoys a crisp sunny high barometer day.
Those of us with arthritis , who also happen to be weather sensitive to falling barometer and humidity, can't win.......as the entire northeast was HUMID all summer long.

In the "olden days" old time Vermonters would say they could predict a storm front coming in by how their old bones felt.......nothing ever changes.
However, that said, Florida has the same storm fronts that the north does........but more sunshine and a much nicer winter climate.
