Your summer weather report - Page 6

Glinda · 07-05-2010, 03:58 PM

Summer? Pffft. We never even got a spring.

June in SW WA was reportedly the second wettest June EVAR.

Since the first day of summer, it's been cloudy, overcast, damp, drizzly, and chilly, just about every day.

My garden is a pile of shit this year and I'm none too pleased about it.

Not to mention, the odd weather has, for unknown reasons, increased the number of %$#@! critters around my place. The deer have been here pretty much daily, eating my 30+ rose bushes down to sticks (in the years prior to this, deer had foraged my yard precisely three times). The rabbits and rabbitettes have consumed all my hostas. The coyotes have grabbed seven of my hens. The moles have turned my raised beds and my lawn into a freakin' moonscape. And the chipmunks (which were something of a rarity around here) have had an astounding population explosion - I've caught five and killed another six. Finally, gray squirrels have arrived. Never saw them in this neck of the woods before.

Fuckers!

Oddly enough, the snakes and voles seem to have disappeared completely. Weerie.

Dang Glinda you need an Australian Cattle Dog. They love to hunt!

BigV · 07-05-2010, 05:54 PM

QUICK GLINDA!!!

GO OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW!!! I just saw my shadow! I'm sure it was my shadow, I looked it up on the intarwebz. So cool!

Second 90+degree day on the run here.... several more forecast. Swim-A-Thon tomorrow may not need to be postponed due to weather for the first time in recent memory....

BigV · 07-06-2010, 11:05 AM

59 deg now, and clear and sunny. predicted high of 77! waaahhhhhoooooo!

classicman · 07-06-2010, 11:07 AM

ferfuxache Its already in the mid 90's and supposed to stay there thru Thursday.
Well, at least I can feel like I'm in a tropical paradise.

glatt · 07-06-2010, 11:08 AM

It's pretty hot here. But it's not humid. Rather unusual.

Griff · 07-06-2010, 11:09 AM

92 F out, dayamn it is getting serious. Forecast says 98 is tops for today. It is 100.3 at Kopernik Observatory (local weather station).

skysidhe · 07-06-2010, 11:23 AM

Bring on the heat! This week upper 80s. I am going to love some sustained warmth.

Clodfobble · 07-06-2010, 08:37 PM

Heh. It is now 8:30 PM, mostly dark outside... and it's still 89 degrees.

jinx · 07-06-2010, 08:52 PM

It's 87 here, rfn.

xoxoxoBruce · 07-06-2010, 10:38 PM

The TV station was running a poll... would you rather have 100 degree heat, or 2 feet of snow? The results were 50/50. Are you fucking kidding me? If it's 100 degrees for a day or two, then it cools off, and you don't have to shovel it.

Sundae · 07-07-2010, 04:51 AM

I vote snow!
We have heating here but not air conditioning (generally)

It's been hot and dry here by English standards.
Hose pipe bans being mooted.
Today it's overcast but still 24.8 according to my thermometer (76.6)
Yes - this is hot, actually.
I'm happiest around 18 (64.4). With a breeze.

But we're being promised a BBQ summer.
Sigh.
Ah well, we got a snowy winter. I s'pose I shouldn't complain.

Shawnee123 · 07-07-2010, 07:18 AM

I'd rather have the heat, but it seems to get more annoying as I get older. How do all those old people move to FL? Maybe I have hot flashes in addition, and when I'm older I'll want to move to FL too.

Heat advisory next two days, like many of us in this section of the US. Drink plenty of water, folks!
