The First Sunday Of October Dawns 17 Degrees Above Freezing In North Texas

This first Sunday morning of October dawned cold.

Real cold.

49 degrees is almost 50 degrees colder than the high a day or two ago.

This swift plummet to the outer world being cooled to below 50 had me deciding I did not want to have myself a swimming shock this morning.

Previously the fall reduction in pool water temperature has been gradual, thus giving me the opportunity to gradually get acclimated to the chill.

We are scheduled to have a return to warmer air in the coming days. Tomorrow morning I will make a swimming attempt. And likely quickly retreat to the hot tub.
