What's the weather like in your neck of the woods?

So...where does cold officially start, for you

I rather expected lower temps, from your perspective. 25 is getting to cold, but in the thirties seems to be just sorta coolish, to me .
.Well, it kind of depends. I pulled those numbers out of my ass. It hardly gets uncomfortably cold around here anymore, so I have a hard time judging. Wind and humidity affect the perception of temperature, and I have a larger buffer at the low end. There's also the question of clothes. How much is considered 'highly dressed?
If I were climbing at 25°, I'd wear long underwear, a Tshirt, a hoodie, and gloves. If I were dressed for a low key day surveying, I'd wear long underwear, Tshirt, A thin overshirt(the hickory is replacing that), a wool vest, a BDU shirt, an unlined filson tin vest, and gloves. I'd feel great in either scenario, and might be shedding clothes if it were sunny.

Damn, that's a lot of layers for surveying John. I'd feel like the stay puft marshmellow man if I had that much on. 
Oh yeah, I meant to say earlier that the new button down hickory shirt you recently bought will put you in the lumbersexual crowd. 1/4 zip only for authenticity my friend. <grin>

Everything is thin. The only piece that has more than one thin layer is the vest. High mobility, low bulk, and that'll take me from 25° to 55°. The long underwear bottoms would be too hot over 55°, but otherwise, it's Jan-Aug adaptable.

After way too much rain we got a break. Sunny but windy yesterday and today. Decent temps but with the sun it feels very warm. The lawn should get mowed but everything is still saturated. Also there is still one other person on my street that hasn’t done it yet. I aim to be the last to shorten my grass for the first time of the year. It’s good for the bees anyhow
I'll be doing my grass this week. Tuesday looks like the coolest day before the rain. I'll be able to skip big chunks, which is good. I let the hill out back growup tall, and cut it with the brushcutter after awhile. A lot of fleabane comes up in the spring, and I like the way it looks.

Hot today as expected. Sweat dripping while I milled. It wasn't awful though. It was fairly dry, and felt good in the shade. I was thinking about a Swedish candle this evening, but don't feel much like sitting on a wood bench tonight.

Since a few days, it's sunny, hot, cold, windy, cloudy, rainy, hard rainy, quiet... The weather keeps changing, even the full spectrum several times each day.
In the 2 hours road trip to come back at home today, I went through 4 different rains.

Been beautiful for four days and now we’re under a tornado watch. Lots of thunder and lightening but very little rain and just a slight breeze

Square peg, round world.
Three beautiful days for us. Going to cool off and get wet.

High of 95 degrees F tomorrow!
Gonna be 97 degrees F on Monday! My YouTubing is moving inside until I get to Massachusetts in mid July.
Already cranked out enough outdoor content!

Rain and even a little snow last night. Cold this morning, and windy. 38° and 20mph winds. More moisture coming this afternoon.
Camper isn't exactly snug, but it's dry, so my bedroll is a nice place to be right now.

I'm thinking one of those Lil buddy heaters, hooked up to a BBQ tank. Space is at a premium, and a woodstove needs stand off distance. Little propane heater can be moved around and even packed away once cool, and they cool off much faster than a tiny woodstove. Also, I won't have to plumb a chimney. But I have thought about it...
