Time to talk about The Weather
 

I mean, WTF? risk of frost in August? Did I relocate in my sleep? Am I actually now in Wogga Wogga, Australia or BFE Alaska?

These temps are in centigrade, people, lest you think it's even colder than it is. which would be almost freaking impossible.


WORST. SUMMER. WEATHER. EVER.

well, at least since I moved here. humph.

I'm sure any one of our Texan or Arizonan dwellars would be happy to trade for a few days!

You betcha! God, I am soooooo tired of the heat. And we didn't even get much rain this summer to cool things off.

Sooo tired of HOT, dammit!

i'm sooo ready for our week of winter down here! last month prepping a cessna 172 for painting i thought i was gonna die! it was around 100 degrees or more daily. i think it averaged 103 with heat indexes of about 115. almost heat stroked a couple of times....

We just didn't get "hot" at all this summer. great news for the electric bill, but otherwise.... :( i've gone all nesh yankee now -I used to think 60 was hot and a cue to wear shorts. now I'm contemplating sweatpants when it gets as low as 75 :lol:

Not only is it hot, but we're in such a drought that the city council ruled that starting August 24th, restaurants must not serve water with meals until the customer requests it.

wow, that's insane

To be fair, it's pretty much standard practice here to serve a big 24-36 oz. glass of water to everyone at the table, but then most people order a soda or whathaveyou anyway, so it is a fair amount of wasted water. Plus, you know, it's Austin, so they're all into the symbolic gestures.

they should place a bottle of water, and then if unopened they can reuse it. In biodegradable environmentally-friendly recycled-paper bottles of course ;)

It's been cool in Chicago. I'm enjoying it. I prefer cooler weather.

5 centigrade in August is not cool. it's cold. it's 40 degrees in your strange American units. 40. as in 8 above freezing. in August. usually, we still have to sunblock the kids and make sure their shorts are long enough to meet regulation as they go back to school -which doesn't happen for another two weeks!

But that's the low, isn't it? That's the temperature at 5 AM.

yup. Should be about 70 then.

ok 60. I just checked and 60 is the average low. We may even set a record -the lowest on record is 39 for this time of year! Set in 1915. I told you it was cold!

I just checked. Ann Arbor is just a little farther north than Chicago -- and our forcast calls for lows ~ 60F. I wonder why you guys are so much colder? Are you normally colder than Chicago?

no, don't think so. Although we are only 45 minutes from Hell here.

That would imply that at any given moment you will probably either be hotter than Hell or colder than Hell.

You might want to consider moving.

It's been unseasonably cool this summer. I wonder if winter will also be colder. Must. Not. Contemplate. Winter.

Aren't you also near Climax Mon? :blush:

:condom:

not too far. closer to Hell, though :lol: .....and Paradise is a long long way north

Thats a rather Personal question isnt it ??

We're not far from Paradise, I used to drive thru it all the time. Intercourse and Blue Ball aren't that far either... and Bird In Hand...

Half my family is from Blue Ball

you'd wonder how that could be possible

Especially since you got a rag top

Down here, we have havinga freakishly warm winter.

It got to 35 in Brisbane, in August. That is their hottest day so far this year, in the last month of official winter. WTF?

It has been warm and dry in Adelaide too, I mean warmer and drier than usual.


Pssst Monnie, Wagga Wagga. And as the song says, Don't call Wagga Wagga Wagga.

We are forecast to possibly have a low of 48 degrees by Sunday or Monday AM. Just...weird. If it weren't for global warming, just think how cold it would be!

um, where? Do you really think there's a BFE in Alaska? It's generally safer to make slight changes to placenames when biching, I've found.... ;)

Dunno, never been to Alaska, but I've driven through Wagga a few dozen times. Buy fuel, keep moving.

Plus I find Wogga Wogga as funny as all hell -my mom had a bf from there.....

Ya know Wagga Wagga is half way between Gol Gol and Wee Wah?

ok... blue ball? oh cummon! that's a real place????

That's for sure!

Sure is, that's where I keep my Chebby. :3eye:

My parents used to live in Paradise. It wasn't. Trust me.





Notice how there are no full-sized photos of the town/ people/ environs on their website... :rolleyes:

We got one of them too. :haha:
