Wacky summer weather

Apart from the 10 days or so of warm/hot weather we’ve experienced this summer, I have spent most of my time this summer in sweats, jeans, and long sleeves shirts. That’s right! With officially only 3 weeks left of summer in Germany, we believe we are closing in on virtually little or no more hot weather. Even though much of the summer weather has been gray, cool, and rainy, you’ll get no complaints here. Good news for people without A/Cs. According to the Germans, this has been another unusually cool and wet summer, which they have not liked (being sun worshippers, it has wreaked havoc with the summer tans).

Every few weeks, we are informed by colleagues that a possible warming trend is headed this way, but most of the time, it never really materializes. Just yesterday Buddy was informed it might reach 80 degrees this weekend. Not too bad….I just wonder what is in store for us this winter….this Texas gal is a southerner not accustomed to harsh winters…
