Getting hit with a hurricane? In Florida?

Probably about the same as getting hit with a hurricane in North Carolina.....

BigV · 03-10-2005, 02:03 PM

A drought in Seattle, and for the rest of the state as well. Who says it always rains in Seattle?

If it's yellow, let it mellow.
If it's brown, flush it down.

RFN it's eighteen degrees, snowing sideways, with a howling west wind.

It ain't a fit night out for man nor beast.

Trilby · 12-13-2010, 03:43 AM

we got the snow but no wind. I"m a bit disappointed. I wanted a howler!

Trilby · 12-13-2010, 04:07 AM

Nope. Premature blow-blow.

Nothing yet.

Sigh.

I'm glad I don't live in the midwest. I'm not ready for that kind of snow. We had a dusting this morning. The grass is sort of white. The streets are wet. No complaints.

Gravdigr · 06-12-2011, 05:37 PM

RFA week & a half ago. That was the roughest hour of weather I've seen in a long time.

BigV · 09-12-2011, 10:37 AM

Today's high is predicted to peak at 77 degrees F. If so, it will mark the end of a record setting heat wave. Yesterday was the ninth consecutive day of temperatures of 80 degrees F or higher. The previous record was six consecutive days. I'm very glad for the break. It has been miserable.

Clodfobble · 09-12-2011, 08:47 PM

I'm sorry, I know the "Texas is so hot" thing is totally old and busted... but seriously? We have just gotten down to the low 80s, at least in the morning/midday, for the first time in months (including overnights!) and everyone here is so relieved.

And I know, I know you guys don't really have air conditioners in homes there, so it's not a fair comparison. But on the other hand, we keep our house at 80 in the summers to save on the electric bills.

Wut Clod said. Still, allowing for humidity and lack of air conditioning, it's ... mildly unpleasant.

ETA:

That's not a heat wave. This is a heat wave:

After an Indian Summer, the weather has finally borken.
It's been humid for the last two days (which has made me sweat like a racehorse), but today was sunny, breezy and with a drop in temperature.

In the last 20 minutes the rain has begun to pound against the window.

I'm wondering if the drop in pressure is what's making me weepy.
I haven't cried without a specific trigger for a long time now.

From the sound of things it will be wellies and leggings and a vest to walk in. Then blouse and skirt and ballet shoes inside.

Mum doesn't get that wearing a jacket or coat does not help in the rain. If you are walking a mile, you can keep your head and shoulders dry with an umbrella. But arriving steaming like a faulty kettle because of an extra layer is never going to appeal.

Still, it's evocative and safe when it's chucking it down outside, esp as I know both cats are warm and dry.

I was cruising the thread and saw this.
