After all, Gordon Brown wants to build lots of them to keep the power going for our stereos. Well, they are safe - so long as you don't put them in windy places Actually, when we looked at it, it hadn't fallen over - the top and vanes had come off. Wild last night. Might have a walk down the end of our street to see if any more have suffered. But I have to put some things straight in the garden first. MG Quote
AndrewHill Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 Trying to avoid running the air conditioning but when my thermometer read 82 degrees yesterday in the house, I couldn't take it anymore. Even with the air conditioning set at 72, its still feels kinda muggy and the temp outside already reads 75 and its only 7:35 in the morning! Can't wait for fall. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted June 28, 2008 Report Posted June 28, 2008 Like bleedin' November yesterday. Rained all day and was bloody cold! No warmer today, but the rain left off a couple of hours ago - for a while. MG Quote

AndrewHill Posted June 28, 2008 Report Posted June 28, 2008 hot, hot, hot and humid with a nice hot breeze blowing more hot air around Quote
Shawn Posted June 28, 2008 Report Posted June 28, 2008 hot, hot, hot and humid with a nice hot breeze blowing more hot air around Not exactly chilly here in Tejas. Quote

Hot, smoky and smoggy today. Quote
AndrewHill Posted June 28, 2008 Report Posted June 28, 2008 (edited) Well as a result of our hot, muggy morning we now have these huge thunderstorms, which have consequently blocked my satellite signal, which means I can no longer watch Wimbledon Well, time to play some tunes Edited June 28, 2008 by Holy Ghost Quote

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted June 29, 2008 Report Posted June 29, 2008 More rain. I thought it wasn't so cold yesterday evening as the day before then, when I was going to bed, I noticed that my wife had turned the central heating on! Still, the water bill will be lower this year, to compensate for the higher heating bill. MG Quote

We're getting the glowering clouds and lots of wind but very little rain. My larger pond is well down. We had a good drenching around Whit week, a pathetic bit of drizzle last week and a reasonable splashing last Thursday (but not enough to fill the pond back up), but that's it! I'm thinking of organising a school trip to Worksop - that always guarantees rain! Quote

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 Cleared up yesterday evening, but looks like rain again today. Brief shower already. MG Quote
AndrewHill Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 Steady rain this morning which at least took an edge off the heat. Quote
sidewinder Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 Fantastic weather today. Clear skies, calm, early 20s C. Ideal really - the rain will be heading in tomorrow night (coming your way first MG..) Quote

In the cafe in Ton today, they were saying tomorrow will be dry here, Wednesday & Thursday wet. We'll see. MG Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 After bemoaning the lack of rain here yesterday morning I went and filled the ponds and put the washing out. Worked a treat! The heavens opened in a wonderful downpour that instantly filled two water butts! Beautiful summer's evening followed. Quote
AndrewHill Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 Pretty nice for a change; its in the 60's tonight! Quote
Free For All Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 (edited) Pretty nice for a change; its in the 60's tonight! Glad to hear that, Ghost. I was getting worried about you sweltering away in that oppressive NE Ohio weather*. July is the usually the wettest month here (I moved here last July and Oh.My.God.). The summer steambath is the payment for a really pleasant winter. And I'm still waiting for my first hurricane event (no hurry there, though). It's "ironical" that I, one who hates humidity so, have ended up in arguably the most humid place in the country. What a funny joke fate has played on me. I was in Iowa a couple weeks ago, near but not in the flooding. That week there was an ass-kicking thunderstorm about every night. Our friend Miles251 teaches at the U. of Iowa and their music building (and other buildings on campus) had some fairly serious flooding and won't be re-opening until the first of the year, so they are in the process of finding temporary locations for classes/ensembles to meet. Cedar Rapids got its ass kicked. Saturday I'm going to Sacramento, where I hear the wildfires are creating air quality concerns. Never a dull moment these days! *(I lived in Monroe Falls, near Kent for a couple years....have to say I really enjoyed the NE Ohio weather overall, in spite of a few hot/cold spikes) Edited July 1, 2008 by Free For All Quote

I was getting worried about you sweltering away in that oppressive NE Ohio weather*. Thanks! This has been a weird summer so far. One week its near 100 degrees, then the next week its in the low 60's. I really do like the other seasons here, but the summers here are just nuts. Quote
