Weather Or Not...

[Nerak]

So, what's the weather like where you are?

Today we are expecting 3-6 inches of snow.

Sunday we are expecting a nor'easter with snow fall total above a foot! :panic:

I am supposed to be having my family Christmas party Sunday...don't think that's gonna happen. I hope I still have power!! LOL


So, tell me your weather!!

[Matt]

We were literally pounded to hell over the last couple of days. Sun is out today, its about 25F outside. I suspect that will be the high.

[Storyslinger]

19 degrees, chance of 2 inches of snow, windy, and to top it off, overcast skies.

[Daghain]

COLD. :lol:

More snow coming tonight - about 4 inches.

[jayson]

Here {Tampa, FL} it is currently 77 F. Low was 64, high 82. :rose:

[Storyslinger]

Sounds like we all have shit-ass weather

EDIT: with the exception of Mr. warm Florida, R_of_G :lol:

[She-Oy]

It's 50 degrees and overcast (which is a strange phenomenon in Vegas). It looks like it could rain.

[jayson]

Sounds like we all have shit-ass weather

EDIT: with the exception of Mr. warm Florida, R_of_G :lol:

I'd trade it in a heartbeat to have real seasons again [I used to live in NY & NJ].

[Storyslinger]

Right, can't complain about the season changes

[Armand St Pierre]

It's 50 degrees and overcast (which is a strange phenomenon in Vegas). It looks like it could rain.

Sounds like my last three day visit to Vegas....


It's a beautiful sunny day here in MN with a 31 degree (F) temp that's luring the fishermen by droves onto the newly frozen lakes.

[TerribleT]

COLD. :lol:

More snow coming tonight - about 4 inches.

Mine too, since we live pretty close to each other.

[TerribleT]

Here {Tampa, FL} it is currently 77 F. Low was 64, high 82. :rose:

I hate you!:shoot:

[Daghain]

Well, the snow will either pass me and hit you, or get stuck here and dump all on us.

We must wait and see how it comes down from the hills. :D

[Heather19]

Currently snowing. Probably have a good couple of inches already, and could get up to 12 by this evening. And another storm on sunday.

[Darkthoughts]

Cold and frosty. Anything other than overcast is a bonus in this country :D

[Odetta]

UGH! I can't wait for ZoNe to see this thread and gloat about how nice it is in Australia!

We are at about 0 C degrees (32 F)... it is sunny and we have a bit of snow that is melting.

So for those of you who figure Canada is ALWAYS colder than the US... think again.

[Storyslinger]

it just started snowing :D, but it is supposed to continue for the rest of the night, and work doesn't get snow days<_<

[Nerak]

Currently snowing. Probably have a good couple of inches already, and could get up to 12 by this evening. And another storm on sunday.

You live in CT or RI or western Mass???

[Heather19]

MA, where are you?

[Allie]

Well its nice and warm here, about 27 degrees celcius, but it has been really really wet. Day before yesterday we had so much rain in the space of about 3 hours that both the bridges on my road flooded! Luckily sun is out today so its probably going to be hot!

[Nerak]

MA, where are you?


Southern NH but grew up in Eastern MA. Hubby works at Logan! :nana:

[Heather19]

How's it looking out there now? I think we're almost up to about a foot of snow, and it's still coming down pretty heavy. Hopefully it'll end soon.

[Allie]

I've never seen snow!

[Nerak]

How's it looking out there now? I think we're almost up to about a foot of snow, and it's still coming down pretty heavy. Hopefully it'll end soon.

Last time I was outside..at about 3:40, there was about 2-3 inches of fluffy white...don't really want to know how much there is now! LOL

And Allie, It's white and irritating!!! LOL :pirate:

[Telynn]

Zone is just not allowed in this thread during the winter.

The ice is going away, clean up of all the tree limbs and branches starting. But they say snow tomorrow afternoon. And still mucho people here without power.

[Randall Flagg]

Cold and rainy here today. Been this way for days, and the outlook is the same.
Looks like this outside my window:

Rain. I love it!

[Darkthoughts]

This is the weather as seen from my window today (I live opposite a pub :D :thumbsup: ) Its sunny but still quite chilly, I don't mind that combination:

A quick test of how much you like to drink:

What is the longest it's ever taken you to get home from there? :lol:

[Darkthoughts]

:lol: It only takes me seconds to roll from the pub into my backgarden ;)

But, quite often I'll say "I'm just nipping over the pub for a quick pint!" and have been known not to return for...some time :D

[Brice]

:lol: It only takes me seconds to roll from the pub into my backgarden ;)

But, quite often I'll say "I'm just nipping over the pub for a quick pint!" and have been known not to return for...some time :D

It has taken me hours before to get home from a bar I was only a couple blocks from before. :lol: Of course this is just from drunken decision making.

[Darkthoughts]

Usually the thought of tasty snacks lurking in the fridge is enough to propell me across the road :D

[Brice]

Well, back in the days of my heavy drinking/drug use I could leave somewhere and end up in another state half wondering what happened.

[Darkthoughts]

I once woke up in my apartment (pre marriage and kids days) with no clue of how I'd got there or where I'd been the night before. There was a grocery bag in the middle of my room and I thought "What on earth could I have bought?"...looked in the bag and it was full of puke!
/grossout :lol:

[Brice]

:rofl:

[Storyslinger]

Calm and cold

[Randall Flagg]

Finally no rain today. Beautiful blue sky.

[Jean]

it has been snowing for years

yesterday I got caught in the wickedest (and suddenest) snowstorm of this whole winter, had to walk about a mile along the Nevsky prospect (picture below) with my glasses all covered in a thick layer of snow... in this post (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showpost.php?p=124360&postcount=151) I tried to get across that ghost-like quality of my city; now imagine it behind an almost opaque curtain of snow...

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/566/Nevsky.jpg

[jayson]

currently 59 F with a predicted high of 70

[Rjeso]

The middle of last week was beautiful temperature-wise, which helped a lot of the snow melt off. However, we got it all back over the weekend for a total of 7.2", and today is downright chilly again. Currently 15 degrees, high of 40. We'll see about that. I, for one, am doubting we see anything that warm today.

[Girlystevedave]

It's sunny, but only about 50 degrees outside. I'm freaking freezing because I work for a cheapo who turns off every bit of heat over the weekend.
When the temp reaches 55, he'll probably find it appropriate to open the doors because it "feels good" outside.
(I swear....one of these days....)

[Storyslinger]

We had a couple of days in the high 40's, but then we get frost again this morning. :pullhair:

:lol:

[Daghain]

Going to be 68 today! Woohoo!

[obscurejude]

Its cold in North Carolina,some kind of front came in last night. Its overcast. It fits my mood, no complaints.

My work is the exact opposite. They tend to go overboard, and in the middle of summer they have the AC blasting so that it's freezing in the building you've got to bundle up, and last winter the heating got all screwed up that they had it on the nighttime setting so the heat wasn't turning on during the day, and everyone was wearing their jackets. Took them awhile to finally getting around to fixing it.

[Nerak]

cold, well, warm enough for me to walk around with just a layered sweatshirt on, at least for a little while...

[Unfound One]

Today was the first windows down day in my car.
It was lovely.
But now it's dark and cold again. Damn.

[Nerak]

Matt, I hope that you, Dora, Hannah and Aaron are safe and sound. That twister and the hail sound scary!!!! :panic:

[Daghain]

Missed them by a mile. Hit me dead center.

[Nerak]

OH SHIT!!!

Is everyone there ok? Did you lose anything?

[MrsSmeej]

OH SHIT!!!

Are they okay? Does anyone know?

[mia/susannah]

I hope everone is alright. I am sending goodmind your way and Matt's

[Daghain]

Gory details can be had here (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?t=3028).

The only casualty in my life was my car. My place of work isn't doing to well, either.

[alinda]

Oh no I'm really sorry to hear that, I didnt even watch the news to know.
I am glad to know you are safe. Is there anything you need?

[Daghain]

Thanks, but I'm fine. I hate this POS rental car I have, but at least I have one, I guess. :lol:

[obscurejude]

Thanks, but I'm fine. I hate this POS rental car I have, but at least I have one, I guess. :lol:

Please get someone to take a picture of you in it. I would love that. :rock:

[Daghain]

I will set this car on fire. Believe me. Grrrr.

The grand irony of all this was that my insurance company's main office (State Farm) was damaged in the tornado as well. They're routing calls through Tempe and the agents are lost, to say the least.

So of course this will all take much longer than usual.

I heart eastern european citues :) always so colourful.

[Erin]

I missed you originally posting that picture, Jean. It's gorgeous. But that really stinks about getting caught in the snow storm.

What's the weather been like lately in St. Petersburg?

[Jean]

lately it was unbelievably fine, just what bears like. Not too hot (around 70), but sunny, and everything - I mean, whatever little we have so far up north - is in bloom: tulips (it's only two or three years ago that they started planting tulips all round the city, we hardly had any flowers before), and lilac, and pansies. I can't remember such early spring (though last snow occured only recently)

I am sure your visit had a lot to do with that

[Erin]

:blush: :blush: :blush:

So glad you're having a nice spring!

[razz]

It's supposed to rain tomorrow, which i don't mind. but it will also be ninety degrees, which makes me want to stab somethin.
and no that's not a typo in the title. i leik switching the a and e in some words. same way i leik to spell leik leik this

[razz]

i pity j00

[Lee]

Its 73 degrees at 1:24am But it was around 100 degrees today.

[Erin]

Hey Razz....we already had a weather thread in the Dixie Pig, so I merged your thread into this one. :)


and it was hot and humid today. i long for fall. :(

[Jean]

and no that's not a typo in the title. i leik switching the a and e in some words. same way i leik to spell leik leik this
very annoying, I must say

We've got a typical British summer at the moment; blazing hot one minute, pissing down with rain the next lol

I am enjoying it immensely. Last time I was in England (June 2006) it was unbelievably hot, and now it's just the weather bears like.

[razz]

we have a saying in michigan.
"If you don't leik the weather, wait five minutes and it'll change"

[Daghain]

we have a saying in michigan.
"If you don't leik the weather, wait five minutes and it'll change"

Um...no. It's always, dark, hot and humid in Michigan. I should know, I grew up there. :lol:

That's the saying for Colorado - the weather literally does change constantly.

[razz]

and i live here right now

[Daghain]

And is it hazy, hot and humid?

Thought so. :lol:

[obscurejude]

I've noticed that saying is becoming more and more prevalent. Climate change?

[Daghain]

Which saying? Stick around 5 minutes?

I haven't really noticed a climate change here overall, but this has been an unusually wet spring for Colorado.

[obscurejude]

Which saying? Stick around 5 minutes?



Yeah, that one. Everyone says that, or so I've noticed around here. I live in North Carolina and we say it. Razz in Michigan. You in Colorado. My dad says it and he's in South Carolina, coastal area. Even Jayson has complained along these lines in regards to Florida. Bethany in Alabama, but she lives by a chemical incinerator so its not surprising.

[Daghain]

Well, I'd imagine the chemical incinerator may have a little to do with it. :lol:

But really, when I lived in Michigan, you had 9 months of cold and crappy, and 3 months of hot and humid. I don't call that changing every 5 minutes. I haven't lived there in 15 years, so who knows.

But here it really can (and does) change quickly. It can rain like hell for an hour, and then the sun comes out and 10 minutes later you can't even tell it rained at all.

And sideways snow. That's pretty cool. :lol:

[educatedlady]

I LOVE sideways snow. :)

people say the "5 minutes" thing in Virginia too but where I was it didn't seem to really apply. It was very much like the Michigan weather you describe.

[Daghain]

Oh, and I also forgot the religious holiday of Our Lady of Perpetual Road Construction, but I think Colorado has the biggest festival every year. :)

[Nerak]

We have the "if you don't like the weather, wait five minutes and it will change" in New England too. And it's true, especially in Summer. It can go from nice and sunny to holy crap watch out for the lightning in a matter of seconds! LOL

Speaking of which, it's supposed to do that every afternoon this week!

[razz]

AH HATE HOT WEATHER

[Aesculapius]

My Aether, or Kether, or Sephirah, is well and fine, as I breathe(r) in the air of this fifth night.

[jayson]

Must have been another Floridian bc the only changes in the weather here are from hot to hotter.

Ditto that saying in Omaha - we had 40 degree freezing rain 3 weeks ago...
It was JUNE for Pete's sake!

[obscurejude]

... Even Jayson has complained along these lines in regards to Florida.

Umm, wasn't it unseasonably cold there sometime in March? I remember it being in the 40's. Maybe it was another member complaining.

Say it isn't true. We've had torrential thunderstorms all week. I can't take any more.

[razz]

it rained for five minutes today. harldy any clouds. it then stopped rain, got windy. wind stopped, hit a cold pocket. got a tornado warning, got hot, got sunny got cloudy, got really dry really fast. all since 3:00 pm

[jayson]

Umm, wasn't it unseasonably cold there sometime in March? I remember it being in the 40's. Maybe it was another member complaining.

92 today. and i'm pretty sure the humidity was close to one million percent. okay, that's probably an exaggeration but really, the covers of the paperbacks in the bookstore were curling up. that should tell you something.

Well Karen I guess you were right. I watched the weather report this morning and suddenly there's thunderstorms scheduled for every day. We were supposed to get some this afternoon too, but I think they missed us.
I really am getting sick of all this rain.

[Girlystevedave]

It's 90 something degrees, sunny, and hot AKA opposite of everything I like in weather.

I can't wait for cold, dark, rainy days. I think I'll start hibernating in the summer.

Drought conditions in North Carolina, we've had mandated water restrictions for almost a year. I wish I could complain about rain.

Could you at least please spell right (I'm not talking typos either) in the thread titles and the starter post of a thread. It makes for easier readability. Also misspellings in thread title are going to automatically be corrected by staff, so you may as well spare us the extra work on that if you can. :)

As for the starter post it's best to be as clear and cohesive as you can because it sets the tone and intent of the thread.

[Jean]

100 degrees so far but it's only 3:00p.m. so it could get hotter.
supposed to be 108 tomorrow.

dayum, dry heat I hope!!

[sarah]

Well I am finally seeing blue sky today. I'm surrounded by all the wildfires here in Northern California and we have been covered in smoke for six days. Thankfully we are far enough away from the fires that we don't have to be evacuated.

[obscurejude]

Got a really intense thunder storm last night and so I found out which way it was moving and ended up driving about 100 miles late last night. I took 60 photos from my car, but none of them show any lightning. :(

It was nice to listen to Elliott and the Beatles while seeing a really cool storm. Wish I had some interesting pics to post, but alas, I don't.

[Nerak]

Jude, that bites. Lightening shots are hard to get. Best way to do it is long term exposures.

Jude, that bites. Lightening shots are hard to get. Best way to do it is long term exposures.

Thanks for the tip. :) It was also harder to take pictures while driving than I thought it would be.

[jayson]

It's def hard to get good lightning shots. I've lived in the "lightning capital of the world" (it's one of Tampa's nicknames) for 16 years now and I've yet to get a really good shot. At least you had good music to enjoy the storm to Ryan. :)

[Nerak]

Yeah, kinda hard to take pics while driving! LOL

[Nerak]

So, update on the weather in the NE!

Just had a kick ass ice storm that is causing MAJOR power outages! We didn't have power from 1:45 am til about 8:50pm. Oh what fun that was. Spent most of it gone and were only coming home to get stuff when it came back!

Praise the Lord for heat!!!! :clap::clap::clap::clap:

[Heather19]

I'm glad you finally got your power back.
There were some places in MA that got hit pretty hard as well. I'm not sure if they've even gotten power back yet. They were saying on the radio it could be up till monday before everyone's is back on. We lucked out and I think it just missed us. We got a little bit of ice thursday night, but by friday am it was all gone.

[Nerak]

People in NH are hearing Wens or Fri before getting power back. I live on a main road, that's probably the only reason I have it back so soon.

Here's some pics!

LOLOLOLOL, Jon, did you build that snow Uh... statement.
Fuckin Hilarious.

[Daghain]

Nice one, Jon!

It's freaking -9 here right now. This morning the wind chill was around -39. Brrrrr....

[Rjeso]

It's snowing here. :panic: I thought I escaped all this crap!

Apparently you were wrong.

[Heather19]

Here's some pics!


That's very similar to some places around here. A couple of my coworkers are still without power, and they're saying some places might not get it back till after Christmas. Power lines are still down, trees and branches all over the place. My boss was saying that it looked like a tornado went thru her town. Who knows how long it'll take them to get everything cleaned up. It's crazy.

[Nerak]

And, AND!! It's going to snow tonight (3-5 inches) and finish up with sleet and freezing rain tomorrow!!!
And more snow Friday AND AND AND!!!! it's going to snow again on SUNDAY!! And Sunday might be the worst of them all!!!!

[Disincarnate]

It's raining and freezing here. And by freezing I mean 55 degrees. Oh, Phoenix. You're so full of desert.

[Heather19]

We got quite the snowstorm today. Probably have about a foot of snow, and it's still coming down. And here I thought winter might be almost over.

[jayson]

I miss snow. Today it's sunny and in the high 50's here (which a lot of natives consider cold, which always makes me laugh). It's supposed to get up into the high 70's by the end of the week.

[candy]

i miss snow too, we dont get it on the isle of man, apart from on the top of our mountain (apparantley is only just a mountain, but still a mountain all the same)

At teh moment is blowing a gale and raining very hard. But at least we had some sunshine today

[ClicheGuevara]

90 F'ing Degrees today!!! thought this was suppose to be spring!

[Emily]

I couldn't live without snow, I can't imagine being from a place where it snows and moving south like you, I would miss it too much I think.

[Daghain]

Would you believe we're crying because the snow in the mountains is only this deep?

We're way below snowpack. If we don't get some serious moisture we're going to have a pretty high fire risk this summer. And a drought.

[jayson]

I couldn't live without snow, I can't imagine being from a place where it snows and moving south like you, I would miss it too much I think.

The two things I miss the most are NYC and the weather. It's not just the snow I miss, but having four full and complete seasons. Fall was always my favorite. We don't really get fall here.

[AlishaRiley]

i miss snow too, we dont get it on the isle of man, apart from on the top of our mountain (apparantley is only just a mountain, but still a mountain all the same)

At teh moment is blowing a gale and raining very hard. But at least we had some sunshine today

I lived in the Isle of Man for a few years, and I can't recall, whatsoever any outstanding weather. It's a beautiful place, however. :)

Holds some pretty fucking bad memories, but I'd love to go back there one day, all the same.
I can just remember such lovely places.

[Lady_Macbeth]

We just got like half a foot of snow here in Jersey. I've been enjoying mah snow day! ^_^

[Chap]

lets go bathe in the snow Lady M!
we've got the most snow since 86 this winter :)

[Heather19]

How much snow do you typically get out there in the winter?

I know for us here, it's probably the most we've had in quite a few years. But it probably pales in comparison to what you see out there.

hmm, I have no idea on how to answer that properly. But the amount of snow in and around this city depends heavily on where you live. Where I live (high altitude) we get quite a lot, sometimes it can snow 10-30 centimeters during one night. But other parts of the "county" barely has any snow at all.

Why not just come see for your self, Heather? ;)

[Heather19]

I wish. I would love to see Norway.

[Chap]

and I would love to show it it you!

[Dave!]

Don't have the luxury of knowin' where some of you are from. But here in west-central-northern (haha weird, I know) North Carolina I have 8 inches of snow on the ground in the back yard! Woot! Most of the area got around 5-9 inches, with some weird areas only getting about 2. In the mountains, just to the west one place has 11 and a half. For those who care to look it up on a map I'm about 20 miles north of Winston-Salem. Work has been called off for the last two nights. I think that people in places where snow and winter weather are the norm tend to laugh at us down here. There were over thirty wrecks in the area at the onset of this yesterday, when we only had about a 1/4 inch on the ground. People here just can't seem to understand that you can't drive the same way you do normally when the roads get a little slick. I'll try to get a pic here (in the dark) in a minute and post it if it turns out at all.

yes, we do :D
the thought of closing schools and workplaces just because it's snowy outside is ridiculous here. We've got this awesome invention called winter tires, more people around the world should try them :P

[Dave!]

haha! I agree! The fact is is that schools are closed for the last rwo days, more than likely will be delayed on Wed. The only reason that they might send the kids back is that it is supposed to be about 47 that day. Don't get me wrong, I would rather stay here and type on the story some, but yeah, the roads aren't that bad. And I live a good ways down backroads that don't get the luxury of salt trucks or plows. I can't imagine living in Norway. I think it would be beautiful, from the pictures I've seen, but I don't like the cold so much. But I'd love to visit the place. Maybe one day it could be the first stop on my world tour. :rock: From there onward to Ireland and then Continental Europe, and so on. Yeah right. A man can dream, anyhow.

[Sam]

The biggest reason that schools close in the south when it snows or sleets is due to the lack of enough salt trucks and the lack of sufficient proper winter weather equipment on school buses. This makes for unsafe driving on some of the back roads that will not be salted or treated in any other manner to help ensure the children get to school safely. I'm certain that things are not any different anywhere else in the US, but around here it is the school systems responsibility to ensure the safety of every child under their care, no matter what lengths they have to go to. This led to several times when I was little that while we had perfectly fine weather in my school's area we would still have a snow day due to another part of the county having roads not fit for the buses to travel on.

[The Lady of Shadows]

in case anyone cares (and even if you fucking don't) it's 17 fucking degrees and i'm fucking freezing my gods damned shell off here. by thursday it's supposed to be fucking 60 fucking degrees. WHAT THE FUCK???????

'Tis the case here, as well. A lot of the back country roads here pretty much suck still. Like I said, lots of snow on the ground here, and my (supposed) SUV is sitting at the bottom of my driveway. The damned thing wouldn't climb the hill up to the house. Of all times for the 4wd to act up. I miss my Ford truck. That thing in 4wd would jerk a tree out of the grouind if you wanted it to. Thank you, GMC for giving me a useless turd of a vehicle.

And yeah, supposed to get down to the low teens tonight and be 70 by Saturday. Come on, Spring! At least we get to set our clocks forward Saturday nite. One sign Spring isn't far away, anyway.

[AlishaRiley]

I want more snow. :(
We had like, a week in which it was pretty heavy (By English standards), and that's it. I always feel really excited when I see snowfall - I'm like a 6 year old. :D
It's the most beautiful weather, and I couldn't give a shit about the cold factor when it creates such a treat for the eyes to behold.
I really do love it - I wish we'd get more around these parts. :( Lucky Norway. Lucky Chap.

On a lighter note - the weather seems to be perking up a little here, which could be a good thing. It's not as cold, which means that I don't have to trundle around in my Nan's Winter coat. :P (No, really.)
It's better, but snow would be better, too. :P

[Mai]

It is really cold in Tennessee. I hate the cold but snow is really pretty to look at. When it snows here Ryan (my boyfriend) always goes sledding. I just cant stand the cold though

[AlishaRiley]

After my earlier comment of the weather improving, I walked oout of college into bloody pouring rain. :(

[candy]

yep, we defo dont get anything to talk about, although its blowing a gale and raining outside. but normally its just grey and misty during winter and sunny and misty in summer.

shame about the memories as its a lovely place with spectacular views (we still have the old horse tram in summer too)

[idk, my bff jill?]

It finally rained over here today.
It had been a couple of days since the sky had become very cloudy and dark, so I was hoping it would rain soon.
Now the temperature is nice and cool during the day and night.

I love it.

[Heather19]

It's been absolutely gorgeous this weekend, weather wise. I'm going to be sad to see it go tomorrow when it's supposed to get cold and snowy again.

[jayson]

You can always come here Heather. It's 80 degrees and sunny and is forecast to be the same all week.

[Heather19]

I would love to. I really miss Florida.
It's funny because my sister is up here now for the weekend. She's from the Keys, so wasn't too happy when she heard about the crazy snow storm we had on monday, and was worried it was going to be freezing. Which would be quite a shock after the warm weather down there, but she really lucked out with this weekend. Although she'll get to see a bit more snow tomorrow before they fly out.

[Jean]

This is the snow we had a couple days ago. The flakes are real, not photoshopped or anything. I can't remember seeing them that big before. Not in April, anyway.

[Lily-sai]

I have to agree with the bears - you wouldn't really want the snow. I know I don't. Right now it's thankfully sunny and non-snowy, but were one to stand here a few months ago, he/she would've almost literally swum through the white death. Here in Finland they don't close schools or anything when the weather drops below zero, not even when it's -4 F or -20 C (and I've seen worse than that, much worse). We just have to dress up a little more and go, swearing under our breath.

(what, you say I should be used to this? well.. I'm not. :))

[Brice]

I want so much snow you can't open the doors and windows. :lol: And yes, I mean it.

[Lily-sai]

Let's change our places? Do you happen to live in somewhere nice and sunny? Where the snow is just a distant dream? :D

[Brice]

Currently I live where the most snow you can reasonably expect is a few inches. Schools and businesses start shutting down if there is an inch. :lol: I'd happily trade. It is too late to take it back. :nope: Now you are coming to NC and I am off for Finland. :D

Of course you're not! Nobody would be. Bears now they are not, either!

[Lily-sai]

I can manage with just a few inches. Especially if it causes a mayhem and places shut down! Ha! Then I could just stay at home, lit the candles and curl up with a good book and a blanket. Whereas you'd have to dig yourself out of your snow-covered house and go to work/wherever you need to go. :D Yes, yes, let's trade! It's a win-win.

[Brice]

That's because y'all two are hoarding all the snow to yourselves like misers. :P

(and here - just imagine - it's constantly thawing just a little, you know, to make the ground slippery as hell; and then it freezes again, and thaws again. All winter - that is, from mid-October to end of April - I have to walk as slow as if I was already 90 years old... I've worked out special king of gate for this... and soon the whole damned thing is going to melt, and then most places around - such as, say, supermarkets - will be just inaccessible, at least for people and bears who, like me, have no cars)

Hile, bearbrother! I never expected to meet anyone who feels about snow like I do. YES! I knew it was a good idea to join this forum. Praised be Dark Tower.

I know what you mean by that 90-years-old-walking. I call that kind of weather 'granny-killing-weather', as old people often fall down and break their hips/numerous other bones. Nature can be so cruel sometimes. *shudders*

Exactly! That's one of the reasons - maybe the main - why I hate winter so much! It's like I took a deep breath in October, and crossed my fingers for my wife and mother... and will be able to uncross them and breathe out only in about a week from today... http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bearheart.gif

The funny thing about the weather here is that in the beginning of June sun often shines and there is heatwaves all around. Then suddenly.. wham! Rain starts and continues till midsummer (which is on 19th day this year!). 19.6. to be more specific. durr.

well its clear sky again on the isle of man - looking at 80'f and humidty of 75%
I have not left the house for 2 days as i dont do heat very well, (unless i am on holiday and have a) air conditioning b) a pool) and a i have neither i am hiding out with my cats, who are also too hot and have decided not to eat:(

:clap:for your weather update i like. (and i liked the one above showing your street, i am very nosey)

Dags, how hot is hot?

90 here right now but with the humidity it seems even hotter outside, which is why i'm not going out there again for a long time.

I hate hot weather. I hate humidity even more.

not alone at all candy

i hate the heat and it hates me

had i lived in a time before air conditioning it'd have been a miserable existence for me

[candy]

i've just been on the telephone trying to explain to my mum that i am that hot my eyes are sweating, and she told me not to be stupid eyes, dont sweat!!!!

Well, they do and mine are - and yes i really did want to share that:wtf:

[jayson]

they sure do here in florida in the summer. mine do anyway. :)

[Heather19]

Well you guys are more than welcome to send your warm weather up here to New England, at least for a few days. It's been absolutely terrible up here. Pretty much rain on and off for the past month or so, and somewhat chilly for the time of year. It's finally starting to warm up the the 70's, but they're still saying scattered thunderstorms every day. This really has been the worst spring/early summer that we've had up here in a long time. But I guess that's New England for you.

[jayson]

i'd trade weather with you in a second heather. even the rain i can deal with because we get plenty of it down here in the summer. but temperatures below 70, that just sounds idyllic. :D

[Heather19]

It's nice for awhile, but now I just wish it would finally warm up so we could get a nice summer. Although after a few weeks of hot weather you'll probably see me in here complaining that it's too much.

My sister just moved back up here, and the first thing she said after being here for only a few days is "please don't tell me it's like this all summer". I guess she was so used to the heat down there that this is too cold for her. :lol:

[jayson]

:lol:

conversely, people have been telling me for years that i would eventually get used to the heat. in august i will have been here 17 years. if i were going to get used to it, it would have happened before now.

[Heather19]

so when are you going to move back north? :lol:

[jayson]

i never thought i'd be here this long. i doubt i will go back. my family isn't there anymore. parents are here in florida. sister in chicago. brother in texas. still, if i could live on the lower east side of manhattan, i'd move tomorrow.

[Unfound One]

had i lived in a time before air conditioning it'd have been a miserable existence for me

Yeah, me and everybody else around me because I'd never stop bitching about it. :lol:

[Lily-sai]

Do Scots have some kind of power over weather? As soon as my guests left, it began to pour here and the temperature sunk. brrrrrr. Good-bye for now, the golden, sunny days. Maybe I'll get a chance to see some more when I leave for a holiday in Crete in August. Better to, or I'll dance some mad sundances. :rolleyes:

[Heather19]

Sorry to hear the weather hasn't been that great lately Liisa.

After about a good 2 months of rain, we've actually gotten 3 nice warm sunny days in a row. It actually feels like summer might actually be coming for a change. Although I believe they're forecasting rain for the remainder of the week :(

[Unfound One]

Tomorrow we're supposed to have "isolated thunder-storms: - whatever that is... :rolleyes:

we have rain and heat = wilderness garden & frizzy hair

[idk, my bff jill?]

It's fucking pouring over here, and I would normally enjoy the rain, but Goldie (my dog) is terrified of all the thunder, and I worry about him.
Plus, I had plans for tonight, and if the weather doesn't chill out a bit, I won't be able to go out.

[candy]

and still the rain comes..................
i think i prefer it to the heat, apart the fact i appear to have a forest in my garden now.
i have my pj's on but i will take a photo at weekend to prove that i really do have a rain forrest instead of a garden.

We currently have torrential rain interspersed with blazing hot sunshine, usually both within 10 minutes of each other. Bloody British weather!

[candy]

[sarajean]

yeah, that one, there was a ton of thunder and lightning.

i think there's another one rolling in right now.

I'm jealous of all that rain. It's been crazy hot and humid here (Seattle), but no rain, and it isn't getting any better the next week or so according to Google. :/ I'm not sleeping much lately cos it's too hot to sleep! (I'm a wimp when it comes to heat.)

[Lily-sai]

i know the feeling, ola. :beat:

did you know that when you're extremely worn out and it's really, really sunny, you suddenly feel yourself like a vampire who's been thrown out from his crypt? all i could see last sunday was a world of painful light and some blurry figures moving around. it was so awful i had to hide in the shadows and then children at the camp came to ask what was wrong with me. :p

I'll just fullscreen that and put it in place of my window. Jonesing for rain!

[idk, my bff jill?]

It's been raining almost nonstop here for the last few days.
In fact, it was raining so hard yesterday that when I got out of my last class at 7PM, I waited about thirty minutes to see if the rain and lightning would subside (even if only a little), but when I saw that everything was flooding anyway, I sprinted from the General Studies faculty/college to the Natural Sciences one and then to the parking lot (which has no roof).
Even though I took shelter every once in a while and ran as fast as my little legs could take me, by the time I got to my car, I looked like I had fallen into a pool and gotten back out.
Normally, I would walk in the rain and enjoy getting wet, but I had some guy's papers with me, and I didn't want them to get ruined.
On my way home, I could barely see the cars in front of me, let alone the road, so I was pretty scared. And on top of that, lighting was falling so close to where I was that the car kept shaking a little too much for comfort.

It rained a little today, and the skies have been mostly cloudy, but at least it doesn't feel like the sky is falling.
I just hope it doesn't rain tomorrow so I can go mooch off of the Ritz-Carlton's pool facilities and whatnot.

we got the rain here too. my cats love it, they sit on the window sill and watch the droplets

when its not raining they watch me having a shower to get their fix of droplet watching:fairy:

[Jean]

we've been having snowstorm since morning

fuck

fuck

it's all in snow - trees that haven't even all become yellow yet, and the green grass, and all

I haven't even been able to enjoy the golden autumn this year. Now it is green (although normally it is all gold and red by the end of September), and next moment, voila - you go out and it's fucking blizzard. The whole day.

[Myste]

^ Yeah, it started to snow here too aprox at six p.m.
