I'm sick of summer!

I know it's the start of August and I'm sick of summer. The heat and humidity has been a PIA, we haven't gotten enough rain, and people want me to go on picnics... outside.

I miss mashed potatoes, gravy and meatloaf. I tried to make that once this summer but it was "too hot" to eat. Also, I really want to make some mutton stew, but if I try now it will languish in the freezer.

Also, the roving pack of teenagers that are noisy and destructive are getting on my nerves. I want them to go back to school as soon as possible.

I am 100% with you on this one!!!
I hate hate hate the summer.

I can't wait for Fall. I keep telling myself that we're ALMOST there.

Heat index of 106 here today.

I miss winter.

I know the majority of you will hate me for saying this, but I'm ready for SNOW. Yup, snow! I can't wait to hit the downhill slopes. In fact, I'm so stoked to ski, that I've already bought my season pass and it's only August. So, goodbye heat and humidity. Bring on the snow....

Another kindred spirit here -- even though it's been incredibly rainy and relatively cool in Dallas until just the past couple of weeks, I've already had more than enough of summer. Give me a good crisp breeze and the rattle of dry leaves scampering across the pavement... homemade potato soup... the chance to wear more than one layer of clothing without fainting from the heat...

I agree completely and totally.. We lost our dog yesterday due to the heat of this summer.. I am just over it... The whole season.. IT's august, it needs to cool down now.

Another person voting for cooler weather here!!
Well actually just for lots of rain-we have not had any significant rainfall for a month (significant meaning at least 1/2"). Grass is brown-the only green stuff is the weeds!! Running fans all the time in the house-can get motivated when its so warm either. Oh for some nice days in the mid 70's!!

I'm with you guys. It's been so hot and humid here and no relief in sight. We're supposed to have a cool front come through over the weekend which will bring the daytime high down to the upper 80's. Yay.

I´m so sorry about it my friend.... the humidity is disgusting!

I've always hated the heat- I'm a fan of the negative temps & snow. Call me crazy- but living in MN, you get accustomed to it!
I'm looking forward to fall, some of the trees here have already started to turn!

Don't worry everyone... at the end of December I'll post my "I'm so sick of winter I could die" thread.

I'm much more of a spring and fall girl.

Hallelujah I couldn't agree more.

This summer has by far been the worse heat wise I have seen in years.

Add to this fact I live in a tourist area that has been literally invaded by roaming packs of grumpy, rude, annoying tourist doesn't improve the situation at all...

However there is a light at the end of the tunnel. This morning my kitties were watching a huge flock of starlings in the tree across the street.

Flocking birds mean just one thing....Autumn is on the way..

Well, I hate the heat and humidity and can't wait for that to be over, but love watching my boys enjoy the summer. I would like about 20 to 25 degrees Celcius with no humidity...light fluffly cloud in a mostly blue and sunny sky...year round if possible. I hate snow...nastiest 4 letter word in the English language IMO.

The high for here today is 71F. Very odd for August. This weekend is supposed to be up to 80F. I really like it but fear Mother Nature has just forgotten us and will make up for it in spades with 100+ temps when she remembers

I'm tired of it too... we have a heat warning in effect for the next few days with the heat index in the 105 - 110 range. The worst part is, John still insists on being outside working on stuff! I'm ready for it to be fall.

Is that all? The last week of July we were having Humidex temperatures up to 127 degrees Farenheit! And I don't have air conditioning

Ahhhh I love summer!!!! You guys all need to move where I am!!

It gets to about 90 maximum during the day, 60's at night, and low humidity. We all walk around all day going "I love this weather!" "how good is the weather?" "another day in paradise" and so forth.
