Clear beginnings of "real fall" in our mild-but-dry climate: Yesterday, had to switch from AC to heat. This morning, outside temp. dropped below 50F for first time since, probably, March. And, sigh, today's paper says even chance Northern California will have...another dry year.
[Yes, we could have both AC and heat activated, since AC doesn't cut in until 80F or above and heat doesn't cut in until 70F or below, 66 at night...but we never leave both active.] - walt crawford
