"It's a little on the chilly side here"

Have you ever even heard those words uttered in the month of August?? They have been cause for me to feel guilty over the last month while talking to my parents or friends in Birmingham. Sure, we've had some humid and mucky days here, but nothing like the 100+ heat at home. The extremes in the weather conditions were most obvious tonight when I called my parents to report I was wearing jeans and a long sleeve sweater, and I was shivering so much I couldn't stop! They laughed and couldn't believe it since it was still in the high 80's after the sun had gone down there!

If this weather is possible in August, what am I going to do when it's really winter?!
