"The Turn"

[Buzzworthy]

I had a light sweater on here in the NorthEast. fkn kill me. Not my fault you moved to a desert

It’s August and you’re finally not feeling hot as balls. That’s different than the turn.

It’s fucking August 7. Meteorologically we are many weeks away.

Trust me, I don’t want to be in this hellhole.

I think you have made that blatantly clear.

Someone here has a Sandy Vagina

I’ve thought about retiring there but the summers sound insufferable

We are currently at: "Yearn for the Turn".

Who had the coldest over night temp? I had 38f.

Who resists seasonal change over and just leaves the ski boots in the same place 365?

Had a 38 degree night at 9300' last week. Skunk cabbage is starting to brown, flowers are going away, people are starting to harvest firewood and predicted low temps are in the high 30s all next week. Up high the turn is starting to happen whether or not people want it.

^^^ Ha, yeah, I still have one pair of skis in the rack by the front door.

It feels like a turn here just because of the tourists. Arts festival was last weekend, and that unofficially marks the end of high summer season. The 2nd home owners start heading back to TX and school, there's only one more free outdoor concert, etc. Things finally go from batshit crazy to just regular crazy busy.

[The SnowShow]

Schools are all starting up soon or have already started up. That’s always my sign of the initial turn.

August for me is super noticable sunlight and such.

[ENDOOO]

Have to cut out of work a little early now for weekday mt bike rides or getting on the water.

Puffies hats and gloves coming along for camping trips next 2 weekends.

I’m going to ask you this once. Please stop interacting with me or anything I post from this point going forward. You can fuck right off telling me to kill myself you miserable fuck. I want you banned from here.

Fuck off Christian

[gaijin]

I was literally going to say the same thing.

I live in Japan and have never even met either of you. But MTM... WTF, dude? Why do you always push his buttons? What are you projecting? What are you trying to overcome?

Hey, Buzz... the rest of us are cool. Or, normal.

the morning sun no longer shines through my north-facing kitchen window,
that is all

Its dark at 5am and dark at 9:30pm which is perfect for me. It help with sleeping and campfires when its light out just aren't the same.

And it is pissing rain and 50f in Fraser. That hasn't happened in a few months.

[Rideski]

This thread was started on August 3rd.
I don't get why some are saying August is too early.

I think the turn is more about the night time temp for me. It was hot a few days ago and it can be hot at night in Aug for sure. But the consistently hot all the time usually breaks some time in Aug, and that's what I thought the thread was about in 2006...

[chicken feathers]

In the southern rockies it’s August for me too. Sure the high country may get snow in June or July. But August is when the days start becoming noticeably shorter, plants begin wrapping up for the season, night lows begin to drop.

September will be hot, and November may be dry, but the turn begins in August here.

[interloper]

A polar vortex oscillation is in the works but more importantly pumpkin spice latte season nears.

[yeahman]

I saw signs posted around town advertising that Spirits of Halloween is hiring. If that's not the Turn I don't know what is.

Every day turns just a bit. Proclaiming "The Turn" is manifest is arrogant pig poop.

[m2711c]

as opposed to non-arrogant pig poop?

Theoretically speaking, perhaps. But my experience has been that all pig poop is exceedingly arrogant, and wallows in it.

[Ted Striker]

BYates gets it. The turn is when the leaves start turning brown. I'm surrounded by big deciduous trees, and haven't taken the rake out of the shed once.
