When do you consider summer over?

[mvd]

Poll question: When do you consider summer over?

I always considered it Sept 1, the meterological start of fall.

[SOteric]

1. Right after the unlimited hydro races.

[SaveABug]

2. When the RV's from Texas and California

return to their usual resting places.

[SoCalDem]

3. The first time I run the furnace

:)

[Khephra]

4. When school starts

Because that's when you have to start watching out for school zones. It's a real clear sign to me.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

5. never... Summer is an attitude, not a temperature range.

[mvd]

6. I disagree, but

interesting position. :)

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

9. Live life like it is summer every day.

Don't let the tyrany of the calendar/watch or other's opinion of you change your actions.
BBQ whenever you want, not just because it is a friggin holiday.
Go to the beach in the winter, it is beautiful
Don't be scared of the early darkness, embrace it.

Go, live, adapt, improvise, overcome.

We are not around long enough, and you should do it all before * makes it illegal.

[mvd]

16. I like to adapt..

But I do enjoy what each season has to offer. I'm so used to 4-season climates that I wouldn't want it any different.

[ixion]

7. technically,

it's the fall equinox, on September 21st. :-)

[KittyWampus]

8. When The Celebrity Benefits/Tourist Population

starts winding down... after Labor Day...

And I can drive into town without having to deal with traffic jams and rude people with
too much money and too few social skills.

I live in the "Hamptons"

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

14. OOh, I feel for you. I used to live out there...too long a commute

for me... moved inward to Babylon. I can't stand even going out there until at least October for weekends, and mid-Sept for general things.
Had to go out to Riverhead and Orient last week... I wanted to scream and start shooting.

I do not know how anyone does it anymore out there.

[bikebloke]

10. When I have to don a pulli

And gloves to pedal my steed.

[Skittles]

11. IN TEXAS

SOMETIME IN F***ING DECEMBER. x(

[dweller]

12. Whenever the quail,

puny, piss-ant and piss poor awol pumped up product of the pnacian excuse of a pResident gets off his lazy, ignorant ass and heads back to the now peaceful district that he is being overpaid to occupy, and pretends to perform his pitiful portrayal of a puppet of Re:puke: propaganda, then i consider it over. It's been Peaceful in some respect without his punkass around.

But, then it becomes the fall.
:hi: just cleaning your screen here...
sorry for the spittle... I voted other.

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. When stew for dinner starts sounding good again.

[Capn Sunshine]

15. End of Daylight savings time

when is that anyway
not for a million years I bet

I'm sunburned
the hurricanes still spin their summer dances
It will last forever won't it

[nemo137]

17. when i have to wear a jacket for the first time n/t.

[Tom Kitten]

18. The fall equinox...

Septembers are awesome here in Oregon, one of the pleasantest months, weatherwise...I always look forward to October, too, perhaps my favorite month. November through February is the dark time here, but we've had remarkably mild winters the past few years (last winter we had no frost in Portland until the last week in march, a week after winter was"over"...

[leftist_rebel1569]

19. When School Starts

for me, Summer is vacation time...

[BrotherBuzz]

20. When the final game of the world series has ended

and the San Francisco Giants win the pennant...

The Giants win the pennant!

The giants win the pennant!

The giants win the pennant!

[5thGenDemocrat]

34. My birthday (Oct 4)

I was going to say when the baseball season ends and
THE TIGERS WIN THE PENNANT!!
THE TIGERS WIN THE PENNANT!!
THE TIGERS WIN THE PENNANT!!
...but that, of course, would be when Hell Freezes Over.
John
Been to five games @ Comerica this season. The Tigs lost them all.

[Mr. Brown of MD]

21. When school starts

But of course.

I'm actually not minding going back to school this time. We'll see if I still have that opinion in December, though.

-CollegeDude
14 credits on deck this semester

[MaryBear]

22. Cold (cool) weather starts here

on Hallowe'en.

[pmbryant]

23. When I go outside at night and actually feel chilly

When evening temperatures drop into the 50s. In south central Texas, that generally occurs sometime in the last week of September.

At that point, we in Texas haven't felt chilly outdoors for five months or so, so it is a strange feeling.

That's when I declare summer to be over. :D

--Peter

[LuLu550]

24. I get depressed

when the birds stop singing their morning and evening "stay away from my nest" songs and the cicadas start buzzing.;(

[Mr. McD]

25. September 23rd

Thats when it's over for me.

[ProfessorGAC]

28. My Birthday?!?!?

What did i do to you that you would think just because i'm having a birthday, summer is over? Boy, and you don't even know me. (Kidding!)
The Professor

[amazona]

26. usually around thanksgiving

Really I go by the first cool weather, which in recent years does not occur until the end of November/beginning of December (southeast Louisiana).

It really depends on where you draw the line. I first observed fall migration of Wilson's phalarope on July 9, which would make it quite a short summer this year...and quite a hot autumn! Many people in my area have their "winter" hummingbirds already.

[MiltonLeBerle]

27. 6 PM on Labor Day.

That's when the city crews go around and start removing the lifeguard stands from the beaches in Chicago.
I never understood why they couldn't just wait until Tuesday morning to do it- until I found out what "double overtime" means.

[ProfessorGAC]

29. When It's Too Cold For Golf

And for me, that's pretty darn cold! (Under 40 degrees F)
The Professor

[GAspnes]

31. close. when the snow stays on the ground.

but your golf test is pretty close.

[goobergunch]

30. When school starts=day after Labor Day...

for obvious reasons.

[CO Liberal]

32. Here In Colorado, Summer is Over At The First Snowfall

Which can happen any time after Labor Day.............

:-)

[Nikia]

33. When it gets cold

That usually happens here in Wisconsin when my college alma mater starts classes which is usually just before the fall equinox. The weather will be changing rapidly in the rest few weeks. That's when I stop wearing shorts and wear jeans regularly when I'm not at work.
