Yesterday a cold front passed through Roanoke, and by the time I left work it was actually a little bit chilly when the wind hit me just right.

After a practically flawless Memorial Day weekend in terms of weather (culminating with a rather hot one on Monday) , I suppose a brief reality check that summer isn’t quite here yet was to be expected. Of course, there’s no reason to get discouraged.

I stayed up for the 11PM news last night and the weather forecast is for the temperature to reach near 80 today and for the next several days, and that is very much agreeable with me.

Earlier in the month I wrote about this time of year in Roanoke, and overall how it’s not only a very pleasant time to spend outdoors. But, also how the mild temperatures persuade me to leave my home thermostat alone for a number of weeks.

So far, it’s going on 5 weeks and counting. And I think I’ll be able to keep the thermostat turned off for at least another week or two, and in-turn keep the windows open to receive fresh air from outside.

Roanoke is the perfect place to try out the “open window temperature regulation” system for the home, especially in the spring.
