Weather Check

[GingerMel]

We had these snow flurry showers yesterday. It snowed for a few minutes here and there then quit.

I was so excited to see snow.

[dominick]

That's about all we've had up here so far, so don't feel too bad. I've been waking up to a ton of frost lately, but no flakes.

[GingerMel]

We had a BUNCH of frost this morning.

We usually get so little snow that I like to imagine that the frost itself is snow. It makes the ground crunchy and white, so hey...snow to me. hah hah.

[dominick]

Works for me. 8-)

[Christy Carol]

We had a BUNCH of frost this morning.

We usually get so little snow that I like to imagine that the frost itself is snow. It makes the ground crunchy and white, so hey...snow to me. hah hah.

LOL!! I do the same thing! I was going over the viaduct this morning and was looking over the town and thought how pretty it looked all covered in white. Of course it was only frost but ya can't blame a girl for wishful thinking!!

[ReineV]

It is slowly warming up here this week, high 69 on Turkey Day (so much for that 57 average high you found out about for me Sheep). I guess it is expected to stay warm here for awhile...gonna be interesting picking out the tree this weekend while sweating.

yea, it's gonna be in the mid-to-low 60's here on Thanksgiving here....that's too HOT:P yesterday the high barely got out of the 40's. today the high is supposed to be 52

[Ervserver]

News here said some parts of FL got some snow flurries

[sugarplum fairy]

We had a few snow flurries here Monday afternoon, which is very, very rare. Today and the rest of the week it is suppose to be in the 60's.

[Ervserver]

had the sunroof open on the car today, like summer ! :-?

[Christy Carol]

rode with the car windows down...about burnt up since I have on my polar fleece Christmas sweatshirt.

[dominick]

It's pleasant here. Highs right around 50°. Getting pretty chilly over night.

[ReineV]

i'm sorry to yell, but i'm so excited- THE WEATHER FORECAST FOR ATLANTA,GA CALLS FOR SNOW SHOWERS ON THE FIRST OF DECEMBER!!! YAAAAAAY! OMG you guys!!Snow doesnt happen this early here but it is this year!!!! I was excited when we got those little flurries!!! WE MIGHT HAVE A WHITE CHRISTMAS! YAY GOD Keep up the good work!!!

[dominick]

57° today and tomorrow. :o Definitely the warmest Thanksgiving I can remember. :sad:

[Ervserver]

Balmy 60° here. Cold front coming next week with record lows possible

[gilbert7912]

Never had snow and never will :-o

[Christmas Angel]

It is unseasonably warm in Southern New England. 50's today like 60 tommorow. I am ready for some Christmas winter weather.

[Christy Carol]

High 60's to low 70's here until next Friday and then the expected high is 50 with rain. This back and forth business is keeping us all sick.

[silver bells]

It's been in the 60's the last couple of days but the freezing cold is headed our way for next week. I'm glad that I will be working and sleeping on Thursday when our high is supposed to be in the upper 20's!! :o

[sheepsnot]

Have you seen the cold snap coming our way? It is supposed to be in the high 60s or low 70s through Wednesday and then start dropping. Friday's high is 34º. Pretty sweet for Nashville!

[Christy Carol]

Yeah I have been watching that. I am just hoping we dont have another round of storms with this since it is such a massive cold front moving into this hot air mass.

Today has been crazy....mid to uppers 70's here. Trying to decorate has been miserable because of all the yellowjackets and bees. I have made several trips into town to pick up extension cords, light bulbs, etc and everyone is out wearing shorts and tee's. I am thinking of putting a fan on my plastic snowman out front just to make sure he doesnt melt!

[sheepsnot]

Well, it's over before it even got started. Now the high for Friday is 49º. Stupid weather people don't know what's going to happen. :-(

[Ervserver]

calling for chance snow here by Wednesday, lows in teens

[Misfit Toy]

We're having the same weather as Las Vegas...warmer even, thats not right lol :-(

They did say it will cool down and maybe get some snow next week, but I'll wait and see for myself. I just better have some white stuff by Xmas! :smile:

[Christy Carol]

Well sheep there is hope yet. I watched the news last night and they are calling for snow and sleet here Thursday night into Friday. That cold front is suppose to move thru during the day Thursday and drop the temps and the rain change over. Now of course its been too warm here for it to accumulate but it will be nice to see. Better than this heat wave!

[sheepsnot]

Yeah, the weatherunderground site says 36º and a 40% chance of snow but weather.com says 49º with rain and snow showers. I guess it depends on what computer model you believe.

[Ervserver]

You need a weather rock

[sugarplum fairy]

It is suppose to be in the 70's here today. :-(
I am bummed. We never get snow for Christmas, but I would at least like it to "feel" like it is Christmastime.

[GingerMel]

Highs here: today 67, tomorrow 68, thursday 70!!! What is going on!

This weather so totally dampens my Christmas spirit.

[Christy Carol]

Our high Friday is now expected to be in the low 40's but not until the afternoon with snow and sleet mix in the am. I hope its not slick Friday morning. While I would love snow I cannot drive on ice and all the idiots that think they can just because they have 4 wheel drive will be running the roads just for the thrill of it.

*edited to add, I am not calling everyone that drives a 4 wheel drive an idiot. It is just a known fact that 4 wheel drive does absolutely no good on ice, doesnt matter if you have 2 wheels or 4 wheels turning...there is no traction. But some of the good ol boys down here feel different and then after they lose control and wreck they block traffic for everyone else. I am sure anyone else who lives in the south will agree with me. :grin:

[Ervserver]

let it snow let it snow let it snow

:eek:

[sheepsnot]

I need a weather rock with a view to the future. I have to admit, though, it is more accurate about the present than the weatherman. How many times have you heard the weatherman say there's a 50% chance of rain while it was raining?

[dvdguy]

if he's gonna make up his predictions at least he could look out the window

[silver bells]

70's today, 60's overnight with falling temps all day, temps into 20's by afternoon with a winter storm watch (possibilty of freezing rain/sleet) with lows into teens. High on Thursday is supposed to be 26 with possibility of snow. I love snow and all of that but why does it start just in time for me to have to drive to work in it??

[Ervserver]

millions of dollars in equipment and it's a 50% chance of rain

[dvdguy]

welcome to the acuweather forecast

whats the acu stand for? its not acurate i now that

[Ervserver]

acu sounds a union

[dominick]

Even though it was about 35° this morning, it felt downright cold with the rain and wind. We're supposed to be getting hit hard tonight/tomorrow with the snow (most estimate about a foot), but I'm not holding my breath.

[sheepsnot]

millions of dollars in equipment and it's a 50% chance of rain

Exactly, and what does 50% mean? It might, then again it might not. Nice.

[ReineV]

upper 70's here at Georgia Southern University...it sucks! i was sweating when i was walking to class today!! its DECEMBER TOMORROW and i'm wearing flip-flops and a tee shirt.

[Christy Carol]

millions of dollars in equipment and it's a 50% chance of rain

Exactly, and what does 50% mean? It might, then again it might not. Nice.

Its a cover your hiney phrase that means..."Man, we are clueless. We have no earthly idea what its gonna do today."

[dominick]

The winter storm watches are starting to flash on the TV, but I'm still not seeing any flakes. :-?

[Ervserver]

Yer gonna get creamed !!!! snowed in for DAYS! better run and stock up on nog and Twinkies

[dominick]

I could ride my snowblower into town. It's self propelled. :D

[Ervserver]

8-)

[mrshamm]

I am so glad we haven't had a chance to hang our balcony lights yet! we've had winds up to 60mph all day and it dropped from 57º this morning to 36º now and the wind chill is 25º

[sugarplum fairy]

It is suppose to be around 55 degrees. It is sunny and beautiful. :grin:

[dominick]

It is COLD here. 18° with a wind chill of 5°. Tonight the low is supposed to be 9°.

[Christy Carol]

Cold here again today. We are expecting a warm up into the mid 50's until another cold front moves through and knocks us back down into the low 40's again. No rain or snow thank goodness!!

[ReineV]

it's FINALLY gotten cool here! highs barely got into the 50s today

[Pix]

It is COLD here. 18° with a wind chill of 5°. Tonight the low is supposed to be 9°.

Eeek!! We're coming into summer at the moment. But the wind is still pretty cool.

Early 20's here in Auckland. But today has been overcast with sporadic rain.

[Misfit Toy]

Weather changed overnight here, finally cold here now too and we got some snow. Albeit, not much...just a dusting, but it was enough to make me happy :dance:

Now, I just better have some for Xmas :wink:

[sugarplum fairy]

It looks like it is going to be another beautiful day today. The high is suppose to be 50 degrees. I just wish we could get some snow here in the deep South. That would make my Christmas. Oh well, at least it is colder than it was.

[Deo]

freezing!! but no snow yet.... :x :(

[Christy Carol]

I honestly cannot believe it! There is a chance of snow here Christmas Eve into Christmas morning. Which means we might see it falling and northern Arkie might get a dusting but nothing more than that.

But I will take it!! :playing:

[e_xander]

I honestly cannot believe it! There is a chance of snow here Christmas Eve into Christmas morning. Which means we might see it falling and northern Arkie might get a dusting but nothing more than that.

Congrats, Christy. We are supposed to get a mess of weather starting with freezing rain Thursday ending up with snow on Saturday! :???: I'm hoping and praying that we will have a white Christmas!

Sean

[Christy Carol]

Now they have changed it...big suprise, huh?

It *might* snow early Christmas morning now if the rain starts early enough while the temps are below freezing. The high is in the mid 40's that day so if it does it wont stick...we will only see it. Guess beggars cant be choosers.

[devOn]

We got snow today... it was 20 degrees for the high.

[mrshamm]

It's been in the mid 40's and 50's all week. It doesn't even feel like december here. :sad:

Does anyone know what the weather is supposed to be like in Nokomis, FL next week? my family and I will be there visiting family and having a vacation and I want to be sure to pack the right kind of clothing.

[e_xander]

Here's a 10 day forecast. You can check this closer to when you are leaving to get a furthur update:

[Christy Carol]

Just as I expected they have taken the snow chance out of the forecast. Now it is only a 20% chance of rain. :x

Thanks! That was helpful....I'll be sure to pack our rain gear...lol. Well, I'm leaving in about an hour so, I won't be back on untill probably the 3rd. :???:

[Christy Carol]

Have a Merry Christmas and be safe!! See ya in the new year!!! :-)

[Misfit Toy]

As of today the weather patterns have changed and it now shows wet snow flurries Xmas day and snow boxing day. Sure it isn't much, but its better than the nothing I expected :D

Its like a Christmas miracle.....if it holds true that is, and it better :wink:


:playing:

[devOn]

Today in our area... it was cloudy a little snow... (it looked like that the snow got rid of the rest of the snow we got), and it was about 20 degrees the whole day.

[e_xander]

WE FINALLY GOT OUR SNOW!!! :???: :???: :???: :???:

We have about an inch - inch-and-a-half on the ground

WOOHOO!!!

Sean

[kidzrme]

NO SNOW FOR ME :( IT'S BEEN IN THE HIGH 40'S-50'S. I SURE WOULD LOVE A WHITE CHRISTMAS....WELL, AT LEAST I HAVE LOTS OF OTHER THINGS TO BE THANKFUL FOR...

[megarrick]

it was 80 here the other day but the front that is coming in will make it 54 here christmas day...not near cold enough but what more can you ask for down here :(

[Misfit Toy]

Weather changed yet again, back to no snow. Lol, I dont even know why I bother, they're never right. I'll just wait and see what happens.

[devOn]

We got rain today so... about all snow is gone. It's foggy right now and about 35 degrees.

[sugarplum fairy]

It is sunny and bright today. The high is suppose to be in the 60's. I wish it would be colder, but at least it isn't raining.

[SnowMaiden1018]

Weather check!

July--its 86 degrees here, with about 99 % humidity! Freak Thunder/Hail Storms are popping up all over the place! I wish this was ALL snow!! We would have like 4 feet of it by now!

[dominick]

While I'm not too fond of the heat, I'm afraid I'd have to pass on 4' of snow as well.

[SnowMaiden1018]

I would love 4' of snow! well at least until I had to go somewhere! lol:tree:

[Holiday]

Great "bump" SnowMaiden! It's neat to read all about the snow we were (or weren't) getting & the cooler temps around Christmas! Fond memories....

It's lightening here right now...any rain would be welcome!!

[Billy Battles]

It was about 88 and very very humid here(Michigan) today. I can handle the heat alright, but I hate the cold.

[dominick]

You should probably look into moving, then! I lived in Houston for awhile; I couldn't stand the year round heat. It was really bad when I was running the AC on Christmas day.

[Billy Battles]

Could never really(could talk like I would)Michigan is home couldn't see living anywhere else

[Minta]

Hot and humid with pop up thunderstorms here today.
I am so ready for the cooler weather.

[Merry Sage]

We've had a very disappointing Summer here in the U.K. to date. Rain, rain and more rain since May. Been a lot of flooding and there's no end in sight.

Howsomever! Today is gorgeous! Sunny, lots of big clouds in the sky and warm. Temp about 22 or 23C. Shame its not scheduled to last a bit.

[sugarplum fairy]

Hot and humid with pop up thunderstorms here today.
I am so ready for the cooler weather.


Same here!

[Head Elf]

Supposed to be in the high 90's with a slight chance of thunderstorms, but right now it's sunny outside and about 70 something. I must live in a vortex, because we see the rain coming our way, but then it goes around us.

[sugarplum fairy]

Head Elf~ It was the same way around here for months. We went for about 2 months without a single drop of rain. Everywhere else seemed to be getting at least a little, but not here. We are making up for that now, though.

[Billy Battles]

It is Very windy and Down pouring right now

[Jinglebelle]

Here in TX, it is 88 humid and cloudy...

[Head Elf]

For all of you that get alot of rain or snow depending on the season, send some to Arizona. Our usual 100 year rains (happens every year it seems) should hit at the end of the month into August. So, I have a little while to go yet. The Lightning shows are pretty. The cloud cover doesn't keep us from the heat either. There isn't enough ice or cold water.

[SnowMaiden1018]

Its just hot and muggy here, It just rained like crazy for an hour or so...but its clearing up. Unfortunately they are callling for a hailstorm this evening..last nights thunderstorm resulted in many downed trees and power lines. Two of our major highways were closed due to Live Wires on the road and flooding with a big ole tree right smack in the middle of the road! Im sick of heat, and rain I want cold and snow!!! Give me my SNOW!!!:snowball:

[Head Elf]

:hello:Well out here in Dry, Arid Arizona we finally got some rain. It smells great with the fresh rain falling and it cooled down some. Maybe the monsoons have finally arrived. We got some cool thunder and lightning going on and a nice easy drizzle. Yeah for us!!!! For those of you that have sent the rain our way Thank You!!!!!

[SnowMaiden1018]

I def sent some your way! You can have it all!! lol...

[Head Elf]

You are the best, I can't thank you enough. It's so nice to finally get some moisture. But like you I would like at least 1-3 foot of snow out here. And some cool weather. I know we just got into summer and all, but this heat is crazy. But thanks again for the moisture. My apple trees and grapes will thank you later.

[SnowMaiden1018]

Does it get cold in Arizona? I have always wondered that LOL..seems like a dum question, but one thinks of Arizona and thinks HOT!!

ANd Im glad I can help out your fruits!!

[Merry Sage]

8:48 a.m. The deluge returned. Started last night with T&L. Foggy and grey this morning. The weather service is calling for 3" of rain in some areas.

Soooooo....row, row, row yer boat, gently down the street. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily some Summer would be neat.

[Head Elf]

Yes, in the high desert it does get cold. But it's a different type of cold. Up in Chicago (where I was Born) the cold can be bitter and gets into the bones so to speak. But here we can still walk around with sweatshirts on at noon, about 36/40 degrees. Sometimes it dips below zero but you just don't seem to notice it like up north. No moisture in the air. When it snows in the high desert, the snow only lasts til noon and then it's gone. Up in the mountains (of course) it seems to stay longer. The mountains are only an hour away.

[Head Elf]

Merry Sage, I'll take all the moisture you want to give. Man the life boats and wear your Mae West. (life vest).

[dvdguy]

I didnt know mae west was a fashion accessory

[Head Elf]

You'd be surprised. Most men enjoyed wearing a Mae West.

[Head Elf]

Probably then.... now most guys are the he man type and want to look cool when there is a flood coming.

[Billy Battles]

To day is a lot cooler it is only 73 degrees

[dvdguy]

Probably then.... now most guys are the he man type and want to look cool when there is a flood coming.

id like to be wearing a life jacket when the flood comes

[Merry Sage]

If I could send some of this rain to those in need, I'd do so happily. Its causing a lot of problems over here.

I thought a Mae West had something to do with parachutes and was a bad thing?

[Head Elf]

Maybe that's a different story about Mae West.. I always called a life vest a Mae West because it made me bigger in the chest area when I was smaller. And that's what my dad called them when he was in the military.

[dvdguy]

i read they were called mae west cause they were curvy like her

[Head Elf]

I know that they were big and bulky and when they got wet they (life vests) sagged.

[SnowMaiden1018]

Yes, in the high desert it does get cold. But it's a different type of cold. Up in Chicago (where I was Born) the cold can be bitter and gets into the bones so to speak. But here we can still walk around with sweatshirts on at noon, about 36/40 degrees. Sometimes it dips below zero but you just don't seem to notice it like up north. No moisture in the air. When it snows in the high desert, the snow only lasts til noon and then it's gone. Up in the mountains (of course) it seems to stay longer. The mountains are only an hour away.

O wow. That kinda sucks. To know that all your snow will be gone by noon? That would drive me crazy!

anyhoo, its finally stopped raining! The sun even peeked through a few times and it was a wonderful non humid day with the breezy temp of just 73!! Feels like fall!! YAY!

[Head Elf]

It clouded over today and we finally have a breeze blowin' through, might be in the uppers 70's rather nice tonight.
Yeah, we'll get a couple of inches and OMG the whole place shuts down, but we know that if the sun comes out it's gone shortly after that. But can't fault me for wishing for more snow.

[SnowMaiden1018]

I would never fault anyone for wishing for more snow! I LOVE SNOW!!! I get more excited about snow then my kids do lol

[Head Elf]

Do you still get that look on your face and everyone goes what's the matter with you? And you remember the winters past and the joy of being a kid is in your heart? When I worked for the jail and we had a real good snow, I made snow angels all over the place before going into work. Alot of people commented on them, I never told them it was me. It was fun.....:cry:

[SnowMaiden1018]

Yea, My eyes kinda glaze over and i will either sit in front of my window and just watch for hours or sit outside on the porch wrapped in my thickest blanket. When its snowing, its almost like the world stops, dont you think? Everything is quiet and peaceful and the air is so fresh and cleansing! The world is an entirely different place when its snowing!
People around here hate the snow becuz the entire state grinds to a halt lol..but me, I think thats one of the reasons I love it!:snowball:

[Head Elf]

last year when it finally did snow, I walked 5 miles in it. Enjoying every snowflake. If I had a porch I would love to sit there all day watching the snow. It is so relaxing and peaceful. Like you said so cleansing. My husband thinks I'm crazzy for liking the snow fall. Both of us have been away from home for so long... he was raised in Minnesota and I was from Illinois. So we both like the cold and all and the snow, but he still thinks I'm crazy.:cry:

[SnowMaiden1018]

wow, Minnesota? Illinois? How the heck did ya'll end up in Arizona???

p.s. I love walking in the snow too! Especially if Im really stressed, Its like when snow hits you, it awakens something childlike inside of you! So for a brief few minutes you can escape to a world where there is no worries, and just let the child within shine through! lol..My husband used to think I was nuts too! He wanted to move to Florida..and I said if it snowed at least twice in the next year we could go...Can you guess who won that one? Yup! Me!!

[Head Elf]

Well, it's like this, my mom had property out here and I bought the land next to her and she needed some adult supervision so I had a friend come out and stay with them, then my husband at the time divorced me and I married my friend and then my mom passed away and he got a job locally and I worked at the jail as a detention officer and that's the story so far.
As the snow goes it does put you in a type of wonderland and I want snow.....:snowball:

[SnowMaiden1018]

WOw, thats all kinds of romantic!
all this talk about snow has me wanting a cup of hot coca and a cold winters night with lots of snow ...RIGHT NOW!

[SnowMaiden1018]

Im so sorry about your mom. (((Hugs)))

[Head Elf]

It's getting easier every year, but thanks for the hugs! Out here, I don't know about the hot chocolate just yet. Still a little to hot...... and the rain hasn't gotten here (today) yet. Still hoping, but a nice breeze. cheesy

[SnowMaiden1018]

Maybe try some Iced Hot Cocoa--If they can do it with coffee why not? LOL

and everyone could always use a hug!! Moms are special people, We never really lose our Mom, she just gets her wings...

[dvdguy]

cold cocoa is chocolate milkcheesy

[Head Elf]

Yeah but it's the thought that counts.

[thechristmashelper]

We have been having some cool nights here...it got down in the 50's last night which is sort of odd for the middle of summer. Fall is surely on the way.

[Head Elf]

where is hear and send us in AZ some of that cool weathe please. Only two more months til Autumn,.....

[Merry Sage]

Memorandum

There will be no further weather reports from this side of the Atlantic until the Evil, Pond Scum Sucking Troll who stole the sun back in May, returns same, forthwith!

Management apologises for any inconvenience this may cause and reminds you to support your local Billy Goats Gruff!

[dvdguy]

Billy goats gruff?

[Merry Sage]

Billy goats gruff?

Reference to the Troll under the bridge and the Billy Goats Gruff. cheesy

[Head Elf]

If we can't send the real thing, we send it in spirit..... Sorry for all the rain and I'm sure the Goats are up to their.... in water and want to dry out too! But I'm sending sunny wishes to you!:hello:

[dvdguy]

up to their gruffs?

[Head Elf]

Yeah gruffs, that's it..... have you seen the pictures of flooded england?

[digbugsgirl]

I'm sorry for England's weather problems. I hope everything clears up soon!

The weather here has been very fall-like. These past three days have been just gorgeous. I wake up in the morning to the low 60s, very low humidity and the high temps have been in the low to mid 80s. Today it reached 84. Tonight it is actually supposed to get down to 58!! This weather is teasing me and it makes it worse because I know I still have two months to go before the weather officially cools down.

[savingstar1]

over here in the uk all there has been is loads of rain and flooding where has summer gone??

[Billy Battles]

Its like 80 and humid here in the Great Lakes region

[Head Elf]

Here in Arizona we finally got some moisture. Of course not as much as all the other places on the globe, but ours will only be here for about two/three months. Our monsoon season. But I'll take what the UK is getting.. just so you can have a summer and maybe some sunshine and white fluffy clouds instead of those rain clouds.

[SnowMaiden1018]

cold cocoa is chocolate milkcheesy


O MY GOODNESS!! I wasnt even thinking LOL...chocolate Milk...OK I feel officially stupid!! cheesy
anyways,Here in PA its been a chilly day--its raining (yes, AHHHHHHGAIN)
but its really nice out well I mean its not hot.
The last few days have been almost Fall like and very very unsettling--it is after all the middle of JULY!! SO of course if its gonna act like fall, then so am I!! I roasted marshmallows in the back yard with my kids lol!! felt like I should be raking leaves, thats just how wonderful it was out this weekend! but then we get the rain!!! AZ can have it!!! Just give it back when it starts to get cold out here!!

[Head Elf]

oh heck no we want to keep it for snow this way...... but I might be willing to share.

[stillsnowberry]

I want a rainy day. We get our rain mostly at night for some reason.

snowberry (who thanks Jesus for snow. Well, it will, some day.) :snowball:

[Head Elf]

I know that I had to beg the othe members to send me some rain and it seemed to work (lol). Especially Merry Sage in the UK, she has definately had enough to last the both of us..... Merry Christmas!!!

Are you watching QVC? It goes all day tomorrow too!

[stillsnowberry]

Today is warm, partly cloudy. I want a rainy day. We actually had way too much rain until this month. I should probably stop whining. Been watching QVC off and on all day.

snowberry (who thanks Jesus a rainy day will arrrive some day.) :)

[Merry Sage]

Its weird isn't it. Wet and miserable here. Temps in the 40s in southeastern Europe and parts of the U.S.

QVC channel here had Christmas shopping on yesterday and today. I watched some last night. :merry:

[Head Elf]

QVC is cool, huh! The rain has gone around us (again). I'll take your temps any day.....

[Billy Battles]

It like 75 and raining here in the Mitten State

[Head Elf]

We have the same old weather service. Light chance of thundershowers, and 55% humidity. Dark nasty clouds, flood watches in the counties that aren't close to mine and that's the news as we know it. I'll take your 75 and raise you to 97.

[SnowMaiden1018]

well it was a weird day today, the temp was in the 80's but that horrible humidity came rolling in about noon time and it felt like 100!!! theres a storm coming so we are looking at 3 full days of rain! If it were december it would be 3 full days of snow and then I would be excited, but its july, and so im disappointed. Im done with the rain, one can only appriciate jumping in puddles for so long!

anyway, Im listening to the Bing Crosby/David Bowie version of Lil Drummer Boy/ Peace on Earth and Im totally wishing It ws snowing!!

[Merry Sage]

This about sums it up;

[dominick]

I don't get it.

[Merry Sage]

I don't get it.

Errr...what's not to get?

[Billy Battles]

It is about 75 and breezey here in MI

[megarrick]

about 96 and pop up thunderstorms

[dvdguy]

I don't get it.

its the difference in speech tony, we would say pressing charges

[Head Elf]

Right now we are under a flood watch, but it's sunny outside with patchy cloud cover. We did have a decent rain the other night with a great lightning show. Other than that we are still dry in the sunny, arid, hot, disgustingly hot state of Arizona.

[SW1Dennis]

:sparkle:

Humid, hot, and in the 100's.....a.k.a MISERABLE!

Can't wait for cooler weather to arrive!

[Head Elf]

:sparkle:

Humid, hot, and in the 100's.....a.k.a MISERABLE!

Can't wait for cooler weather to arrive!


No kidding! Up here in the northeast of the state, it isn't any better. As I look out my window it's starting to cloud over, but the humidity is terrible. I just wish we could get some of the rain from the surrounding areas.

[Rennabelle]

It is hot here also, in the upper 90's. I don't like it when it gets above 80 so I am miserable. Oh well, when it has been raining and cold all winter I will be hollering for the sun. Never ends. Although I am a true webfoot, I do like the rain and snow as long as it isnt constant, where I can't get outside and do anything, especially decorate for Christmas.

[Billy Battles]

It was pretty hot here today, also very humid.

Here in MI Last year it was snowing In Mid-October

[Merry Sage]

Management are happy to announce the arrival, if temporarily, of Summer in Central England. This is the third day of sun and warm temps and its forecast to last at least a week.

There's dancing in the streets I tell ya. On a more serious note, this gives the flood damaged communities the time they desperately need to rebuild.

[sugarplum fairy]

It's hot and humid here. The heat index is going to be over 100. It's the perfect day for me to stay in the air conditioning (thank God for that), watch my Christmas DVD's, and listen to Christmas music.:))

[Billy Battles]

I don't need an excuse to sit inside and watch movies and Listen to Christmas music.

[Rennabelle]

We got over 100 today, stopped looking at 100 so dont know how hight it actually got but was hotttttttttttt. The skies this evening didnt look to nice, was red in the east and had nasty looking clouds coming over the mountains. Sounds like we may have an electrical storm tonight. Not my favorite, especially when we have had such a hot dry spell and everything around is brown, brown, brown.

I sure hope tomorrow brings some cooler weather and maybe a few rain clouds, which would be nice.

[Billy Battles]

Its only 10:30am here and it is already about 85.

[Billy Battles]

It rained very hard to day, however it was relatively cool

[pattyjo]

Absolutely freezing here , but at least it's fine, about 10C, just waiting for the warm weather to appear...

[Merry Sage]

So far, so good here in England. August has started out very nice. Here's to hoping it continues!

[sugarplum fairy]

It is already hot and humid here in Alabama. There is a heat advisory for the area. My happy self is going to stay inside and enjoy the air conditioner!

[Rennabelle]

Well today started out nice and cloudy with a nice cool breeze a blowing. But alas, lthe clouds burned off and the breeze got on the warmish side. All in all was a nice day. Stayed under 80 today, thats the coolest in a while. Would like it if it never got any warmer.

Tomorrows forcast, a little warmer than today and each day for the next week gets a little warmer than the day before. sniff sniff

[Head Elf]

Well, we are still going through our Monsoons, so the humidity is really high. Just back from Boston where it was hot and humid. But had a great time.

[Keepsake]

Hot

[Head Elf]

Hot



& HUMID

[Merry Sage]

Its not exactly blazin' here, but at least its staying dry. My in-laws informed me that this is more "typical" English Summer and that I must have brought the warmer, drier Summers we've had for the past five years, with me from Canada.

Unfortunately, I've lost the address of the place back home where I can get another five year supply in. cheesy

Stay cool everyone!

[RadioJonD]

Yesterday, I saw a dog chasing a cat and they were both walking.

Hot and Humid in this part of 'Bama too, Sugarplum Fairy.

[Chillywilly]

We are expecting the high to be about 90 degrees and in other words Hot!

[ilovesilentnight]

It peaked up to 103 here in kansas yesterday. Ugh

[Head Elf]

It peaked up to 103 here in kansas yesterday. Ugh
I know that Oklahoma is under a heat advisory. We are having our normal upper 90 degrees, no rain in our area. While we were on vacation it rained hard and flooded many areas.

[Merry Sage]

Heavy rain and high winds forecast for this week. Hopefully it will be shortlived. The areas of the country that suffered so much from flooding earlier, still need time to recover.

To everyone on the other side of the Pond who's got sizzling temps, take care and stay cool.

[Head Elf]

We're supposed to have rain all week, but I have a feeling the weather guessers got it wrong again. Merry Sage, you stay dry and on high ground.

[sugarplum fairy]

It is going to be 103 today. This is the 7th straight day of temps over 100 and no rain for weeks. It is very dry and dusty here. My poor grass! It is suppose to be like this for the next week. Hopefully some relief will come after that.

[Head Elf]

It's raining, it's pouring......Yeah we finally got some rain today!!!

[sugarplum fairy]

It's raining, it's pouring......Yeah we finally got some rain today!!!

:-? <ppffttttt>

[Head Elf]

SugarPlum, I'm really trying to send some your way, honest, but for some reason it's keeps getting stuck in the mountains and hanging out there!

[Billy Battles]

Its 79 and gloomy here

[Rennabelle]

Send some of that wonderful rain our way also. We hit 100 + again today. Don't know how much over we got as I stopped looking when it hit the century mark. Glad you got some, I know how badly most of your area needs it.

[Head Elf]

Yeah, I know, but you guys are hotter than we are up in the NE of Phoenix. You need rain as bad as we do, but only one thing, when it rains in your area, it doesn't stop. Our rain lasts maybe 20 minutes and then it's gone. We have more lightening storms than rain.

[JanaBanana]

Hot and 96 today :(

[pattyjo]

Cold overcast and windy...Yuk

[Head Elf]

I'll take your weather if you take mine.....

[Rennabelle]

Hey, we had a cloudy overcast day most of the day today with highs in the 80's. I'll take that, it was nice, we have a chance of rain tomorrow but I bet it won't be much.

[pattyjo]

I'll take your weather if you take mine.....

I'll gladly swap your weather, I love the heat and humidity, I just can't wait for summer and so today 's weather is freezing, rain and blowing a gale...

[Head Elf]

I'll be thinking of you when its Christmas time, you'll be at the beach or on holiday and we will hopefully be getting some snow. You are welcome to the heat.

[pattyjo]

Well I'll will be having a tropical Christmas this year as we are moving in early december,and I won't have to put with freezing temperatures next winter, and I won't be decorating till the last minute, as we will be unpacking and shopping for Christmas pressies, this will be a challenge for me as I start Xmas shopping now and my decorations go up in the last week of November, but next year I hope things will be back to normal...lol

[Head Elf]

Well, have fun and don't get to stressed with all the packing and unpacking. It'll be Christmas all over when you unpack. You'll find things you haven't seen in a while. And all the new memories......:tree:

[Billy Battles]

here in MI today it is rainy and 57. The high is only supposed to be 64.

[Head Elf]

Billy, I'll take your weather too! Anything is better than what we have now. Hot and humid (even for Arizona). We're supposed to get thunderstorms sometime this afternoon. I think the weather guessers got it wrong again.

[Rennabelle]

Rain, rain, rain, we got rain today. Yippeeeeeeeeeee. We haven't had rain for a couple months now and sure needed this badly. Air smellsssssssssss soooooooooo good. mmmmmmm Not dusty or smoky now, for a few days anyway. Farmers will be burning their fields now for fall planting of hay and such soon.

[Head Elf]

You are so lucky, to get rain and have the fresh smell of the forests and such. My dad got rain in OK, but none yet for us in AZ. Won't you share just a little bit?

[Jeff Westover]

Wait a couple of days and you could have the leftovers from Hurricane Dean.

[Head Elf]

I see a pattern here about leftovers...... First the meat and now the rain?

[dvdguy]

nothing wrong with leftovers as long as theyre fresh

[Merry Sage]

Mixed bag over here, weather-wise. No leftovers to speak of though.

I have a friend in Italy who's coming to England on business this week. She's heard so much complaining about the "cold Summer", she wanted to know if she should bring a winter coat! They've just come out of a month of 40C temps en Italia. :snowball:

[pattyjo]

Well we've had minor flooding and gale force winds and freezing temperatures the last 3 days , I've had enough, I just can't wait for the warmer weather..

[Head Elf]

You doin ok, though? Warmer weather should be comin' your way (i hope).....

[Merry Sage]

Its sunny and warmish here today. Very windy. Its a long weekend, this weekend and so far, the forecasts are optimistic.

Hope no one here is in harm's way of Hurricane Dean.

[LittleMissLaura]

it's still warm in here. and i woke up today to the biggest thunder storms ever..

but they said it's getting cooler next week :) (i really hope they are right)

[Billy Battles]

Today is Supposed to be 90 and humid

[Head Elf]

We've got a dry spell (yeah right!) going right now. But I heard that we are suppose to get some moisture (sure) from the many storms heading from the gulf. Today was 90 something.

[pattyjo]

The weather is still the same here , supposed to clear up on the weekend, it better...

[Deo]

here at my place it is raining.... and it is colder, well the autumn is coming.

[Jack Frost]

Mid to upper 90's for the rest of the week. I'm thinking of writing a song called, "Jimmy Buffet Can Kiss My A$$, Cause it's Hot!"

[Head Elf]

That one might make it to the top ten on the charts.... If you need help writing it, let me know, I might be able to add to it.......

[RadioJonD]

Boyitshot! Let's make some fake snow - http://pubs.acs.org/cen/whatstuff/stuff/8203snow.html and have a cold one! - http://www.plan59.com/av/av499.htm

[Jack Frost]

When Jimmy sings about summer
he sings about oceans and sand
Well it's summer and it's 105
and I don't understand
my car's a/c is broken
all the plants are dead
the dog just had a stroke, and
if Jimmy were here I'd kick him in the head

Don't think I'm being mean
it's just a chance I couldn't pass
it's too hot to be nice now
Jimmy Buffet can kiss my a$$

I went out to mow my lawn
but all the grass is dead
I turn on the weatherman
I can't believe what he said
This heat wave ain't playing games
birds are falling from the sky
all the squirrels are in flames
but it's too hot to cry

Don't think I'm being mean
it's just a chance I couldn't pass
it's too hot to be nice now
Jimmy Buffet can kiss my a$$

....everybody sing!!

[Head Elf]

Dude that was awesome!!!!! I love it, and so did my spouse. But you're correct, it's supposed to finally settle at 98 degrees here.

[pattyjo]

Jackfrost, you made me laugh so much that I had tears rolling down my cheek, I still chuckle to myself when I think about it, good one , It'll be a number one on my list, again thanks for the laugh

[Cedarfarm]

Hi folks. Had a violent storm blow through here in the early evening. In it's aftermath, one of our ancient 100 year old Sugar Maples fell. You could look north from our tree and see the corridor of damage, trees fallen, etc. It's scary when a summer storm turns into a tornado! I will miss that tree, it was so beautiful and gave us lots of shade.

[scooterbugs25]

We had some very bad storms with VERY HEAVY rain here last week, Flooding it was really a mess the highway was shutdown cause of mud slides and being washed off. It was a scary moment. The Tornado sirens sounded for over an hour.

And in case you're keeping score at home, that officially sucks!

Sorry to hear about all that bat rastard weather.

[ChristmasBroadband]

Temps above 100 here in Phoenix, and forecasted to stay that way in the 10-day forecast, except for a "cool down" tomorrow with a high of only 91. Brrrrr! ("It's beginning to feel alot like Christmas....")

We're going to Indianapolis next Saturday, hoping for some cooler weather. Their high today is 94 with humidity, but the 30th and 31st are forecasted to have highs in the mid-70's. Hope that stays accurate as we approach next weekend.

[scooterbugs25]

I have several more photo's but i dont know how to make them smaller, all that water ran into our basement! I it the first time it has ever flooded or even got wet!

[pattyjo]

The weather is still the same ,but at least the wind has died down a bit we got up to a whopping 12C today....

[LittleMissLaura]

yey, it's finally getting little colder here!!

[Sparkling Star]

It's been in the mid 70's here in Seattle area and suppose to be mid 80's this coming week. I'm anxious for the cooler weather so I can feel more like Christmas is coming. :treeguy:

[Head Elf]

I was watching CNN and heard that my home town was under water. Had to call relatives to see if they were all right. My brother's house is under water. The Fox River crested and the Des Plaines river is dropping (now). But the Chain o'Lakes is expected to get hit hard.

[pattyjo]

I can't believe it ,I woke up this morning and there is a blue sky and sun shining and no wind, and a couple of my plum trees are flowering like mad now and we have tonnes of bees around, I hope this is a sign of better weather to come

[Head Elf]

Good for you on the beautiful day..... I hope you have many more like this one.......

[Sparkling Star]

Weather's gone a bit crazy in some parts of the states, actually all over. I remember the recent flooding in England and now all the flooding and winds here in the U.S. and now lots of fires in Greece (of course they believe that was somewhat arsen related but the dry conditions and some wind caused it to spread).

[Head Elf]

It seems that the weather is running rampant, and because of the heat creating some stupid people. It was real sad to see the devastation in Greece yesterday. Between the earthquakes in Peru/Japan and so on, to the flooding in Europe and India and the United States. Wildfires in the states and other countries. What is happening here? Please don't tell me it's global warming..... I believe it is cyclical. Let's check history and see.

[Chillywilly]

It is 94 degrees here in Northern California.

[Iron Eagle]

The weather here has settled down. 80-90F during the day and 50's at night. A sure sign that summer is slowing down. I hope.

Head Elf - My Mom lives in Des Plaines. She had no power, and thus no water (she lives on the top floor and water has to be pumped to get to anything over four floors). So I DRAGGED her out kickin' and sratchin' over to my house for a few days. The water is down a little now, but is still very high. A strong blast of rain and they will be right back where they started from.

[Billy Battles]

The Weather has been the same around here I MI

[Head Elf]

Iron Eagle - I heard that they were supposed to get more rain this week, I hope all is well back home. Out here in desert land, the swirling vortex of weather hits the reservation and the other towns surrounding us, but not us. Great lightening shows though. It's sunny, bright, white fluffy clouds in the sky and hotter than heck. One of these days we might get some rain........ Have your mom or you send some rain our way. I don't know if I can pay you for rain (or snow), but I'm willing to.

[Chillywilly]

It is still very hot here in Northern California. I really look forward to the cooler weather.

[pattyjo]

Well after last weeks horrible weather , this week so far has been glorious, all my fruit trees are bloomomhg with flowers and I had to mow the lawn this morning, so I hope spring is hear to stay now.. bring on the warmwer weather...

[Head Elf]

I hope your summer isn't as bad as ours. The last couple of years though you guys have been hit with some awful weather and fires. I hope it is so much better this year.

[MrsH]

It is still hot here in SW Florida, but it is starting to cool down. It's a good thing...because I'm starting to melt

[Merry Sage]

After a brief period of real Summer weather, we seem to be back to damp and grey. I notice my favourite ivy covered wall is showing a few glossy burgundy coloured leaves already too.

[Billy Battles]

Here in MI the high is supposed to be 74 today. with low humidity.

[Head Elf]

You guys are so lucky, all we get is slight chance of rain showers that never show up and HOT! Our monsoon season was more like a trickle. I want rain and I want it now!!!!! Oh and cooler temperatures too!

[LittleMissLaura]

we got a hail storm today! :D


and northen finland already had snow *jealous*

[stillsnowberry]

Missouri Ozarks today high around 84. Low is supposed to be upper 50s but we are supposed to get a couple of low 90 days Monday and Tuesday. It's nice to sit outside in the morning.

snowberry (who thanks Jesus that summer doesn't last forever):snowball:

[Head Elf]

Took the motorcycle out for a ride today and got caught in a rainstorm. Made it a mess to ride home in, but cooled off nicely.

[pattyjo]

I hope your summer isn't as bad as ours. The last couple of years though you guys have been hit with some awful weather and fires. I hope it is so much better this year.

I hope the awful weather isn't that bad either, but the fires already started here, we have a phyromaniac running loose here, I just don't understand how their thinking, after all that rain we had last week , you think that the fires wouldn't take off the way they do, but of course they would be using excellerants(D...heads) is the names I call them, and gutless they only get the enjoyment out of it themselves , and they don't worry about the damage and suffering they cause averybody else, so enogh about that the weather today is a Beautiful spring fine day, still cool at night at least the fires aren't going all day long now, just at night and we had our first BBQ tonight for dinner, it started to get a bit cool sitting outside eating, but it was great though...

[Chillywilly]

The weather is horribly hot here in Northern California. 104 projected for today.:|

[Rennabelle]

It has been a hot hot hot week this week, with a few days over the century mark by a few degrees. to hot for me. We are suppose to be in the upper 80's or 90's today. Glad I get to stay indoors. Was suppose to work today but most of our county is out of electricity but our little town was spared so get to play on puter a bit. Power will be out most of the day as for some reason one of our main transformers blew.

[Deo]

well it seems that the summer weather is definietly gone, too soon... the rain is falling, and it is so cold... this temperature fall is crazy :) and some cold wind is blowing, well autumn is here.

[Chillywilly]

It is schedule to be around 97 today. I long for the fall and the winter.

[pattyjo]

Back to crappy weather again, wind , rain , freezing temperatures, and I thought spring was here to stay

[haagarr]

:treeguy: The nights are starting to feel cool here in NJ. I hope it snows this Winter.

[Iron Eagle]

20 degrees, winds from the north at 5mph.
Overnight snow was about 10-12 inches.
Continuing snow showers most of the day.
Colder tonight into the teens.

Oh wait, you wanted to know what the weather is here, and now ? Not the way I'd like it to be ??? OK, but it's a lot duller. 75 degrees, Sunny, with light westerly breezes. High of 80F. Next weeks highs are only 70F. Hopefully fall will start late next week.

[Rennabelle]

Hey Chilly, Im with you it would be nice if some of you would send me and my southern neighbor Chilly some of that autumn weather. Our trees are turning but still hot out.
The temp here was 90 today and no end in sight. We have had a couple days of rain but they were few and far in between and all gone now. Our river here (the South Umpqua) is so low that we can walk across it in spots without getting our ankles wet. Oh for some rain. Rain would also help clear the air as there is lots of smoke in it from a few fires around, nothing serious, probable farmers burning their fields right now, I hope anyway.

[Merry Sage]

Its vascilating here. After a very wet miserable Summer, the past couple of weeks have been gorgeous. Nice late Summer weather. Now this weekend its been grey and a bit chilly. But we're still sleeping with the bedroom windows open!

I have a new field jacket on backorder with Lands End, eta mid-October. By which time I'm hoping we'll be well into Fall weather.

[Head Elf]

Up here in the high desert, it isn't as hot as it was last week. Day temps are in the high 80's to low 90's and good sleeping weather at night with 57 degrees. Windows open and that makes for a good nights sleep. Didn't get much of a rainy season up here, so I'm hoping for maybe 3" of snow this winter. We never get more than that. Enough snow to make a footprint and mud.

[pattyjo]

The weather here is still on the cool side and mostly overcast days, still got my fire going...

[Rennabelle]

It's 10 pm give or take a few minutes and I have A/C on and sitting in front of my fan. Still very hot days and fairly warm nights. I would love to have some cooler weather for a bit anyway. Suppose to be in upper 90's and lower 100's for next 5 days. Hope weatherman is all wrong.
