The Weather

This may not be a controversial point, but is anyone outside the Ohio River Valley aware that it is been raining here, more or less continuously, for about three months?

At this moment (Friday afternoon) there is no rain falling and there is even a blue spot or two up in the sky, but it has rained every day for the past week, and there is at least a possibility of rain every day after tomorrow (Saturday is the lone bright spot in the long-range forecast), for as far out as the forecasters are willing to opine. They are saying that this will last until at least July.

Moreover, this past Winter was, from a temperature standpoint, the most oppressive winter in recent memory. I don't believe many records were broken because we didn't see many severely frigid days, but the temperature dropped below freezing around Thanksgiving and remained there until the middle of April. This is VERY unusual in this area. Usually, there are occasional days in the 50's every couple weeks for the entire period from December through the first of April.

OTOH, we missed a lot of the severe snowfalls that plagued the eastern seabord and areas surrounding us to the West and North.

The people who are experiencing flooding on the Mississipi and its tributaries had better get used to it. All of our rainwater in Western PA ends up in the gulf of Mexico.

This really sucks. On the rare days when you get a respite you MUST cut the grass and do other outside work, because the opportunities are so rare.

Buy stock in Di-mond Dry.

Sunny and in the 70's here in SF Bay Area.

Stunningly beautiful!

A very heavy frost here with the sun glistening off the ice crystals.

Build an Ark Dave, build an Ark...

21c here today and slightly overcast. Winter is on the way!

It will drop to 15c tonight...

[The Hen]

You are in for a bit of a shock when you come down then. If we are lucky here it reaches your overnight minimum for a day temperature.

It has been averaging around -2 to -4 celsius overnight for the past three weeks. It has been ranging up to 15 on a good day, but usually around 14 with a strong wind off the Snowies.

Does Pudd had slippers, warm jambes and a dressing gown? You, I am not so concerned about.

[Sean]

Yeah, he's good for all of those things chuck.

I'll be relying on single malts to keep me warm.

[Miles]

Well it has been raining like a cow pissing on a flat rock around here and as much as I like the rain I sincerely hope it stops soon. Enough is Enough already.

No reason to be concerned about Sean, I'm sure he has an extensive collection of gowns....(as well as matching bags and heels)

If you're planning a night on the town, he'll be ready to roll!

Of course if it's going to be chilly out, he'll need to bring his full length faux fur....

Jim your comments are liable to make Sean a very cross dresser.

[Timster]

That is one Punny woman.

Tchah! Shows how wrong you are Jim... I prefer mink!

[SisterMaryFellatio]

Think that was a typo.....he meant minge!

[The Hen]

Ha!
