What's the deal with the warm weather lately?

It's almost difficult to get excited about fall with such warm weather like this. Here in St. Louis, it was like 80 today! I went outside at one point to dispose of the trash and it actually felt hot in the sunlight! It's the middle of October and they are prediction mid 80's temps all weekend, I'm blown away! Usually this time of year, it's getting cooler and you're starting to shop for sweaters and going online to hunt down the coolest UGG Australia boots for that first snow.

I keep hearing people say, "Notice all the wooley worms this year? That means it's going to be a hard winter." Well, I suppose we'll skip right past fall. We'll go straight from short sleeved shirts to Parkas!
