Cold rain and snow? Here comes sunshine?
What's Mother Nature up to at your house?
ice blue roses
That snowstorm was a good start to winter here in Peterborough, Ontario. Did it meet your Montreal standards, Richard? There's a seriously slippery layer of ice on all the roads, due to the quick transition from snow to rain, then freezing. Still snowing now. Almost good enough to put my skates on and glide cross-country into town. Winter is here!
And I quote, from imbob, nov2, poet's corner...
Winter
The air must be discontented too,
as it throws jagged icy daggers at my face.
Mottled black and grey sky, echoes depression like a chorus of sympathetic, yet helpless friends.
The snow has no choices, or opinions.
It simply lives it's life as the snows before.
Born of clouds, it falls through air, joining it's siblings on the ground below.
Dogs and Children revel in it's family reunion. It's kinder to them, I thought while shivering.
Frozen breath and wet clammy eyes, watching a world turn from green and brown to white.
Age and Winter do not mix, I mused again. Like Cognac and Ginger Ale.
The fit's all wrong.
This scene is for the Canines and kids.
The rest of us just trudge along.
Hey East coast DH
How's everybody after that storm? Need something? Let us know.
Record cold in Florida

There were snow flurries about 5 miles from my house.
And the road goes on forever....

fla cold
I lived in Fla in the 70's and 80's and it snowed there once before, Jan, 73, but in all my years of living in Fla, it never got as cold as it has been these last 2 weeks. Now in NC and it snowed up here 15" last month and has been cold as a witch's ... since then, hasn't snowed or been this cold here since 77, from what I've been told. Lets hope it warms up a bit when furthur and the party rolls into town in Feb. Peace, love, dead.
Spring in Kentucky!
at least it feels that way...high 40's melting all of the snow!
in the north east...
it has been mild.... a few days below zero but now it is suppose to be in the 30's. .....
today in Oakland...
I spotted the first blossoms on the more intrepid plum trees.
we envy your tropical notes...
...Marye, as we continue the long winter of our furthur content in vt
Dyslexic weather pattern?
Somewhere on the wetlands of Whatcom County in the state of Washington the progression of the seasons has lost it's way....Spring arrived late January/early February,now winter is back with a vengeance.It is ten p.m. and the temperature has plummeted to 39 degrees and there is the threat of a dusting of snow in the Mt. Baker foothills....
in like a lion, out like a lamb
It's been 55 and showery in the heartland, with Whatcom weather coming in on Thursday night: could be our last snow. My son is flying out to SeaTac to consider putting his Kitsap rental house on the market. He had the misfortune of buying "high" in 2005, and now walks the tightrope of keeping the value above the mortgage obligation. Cool wet weather out there will restrict him to indoor projects and never-ending blackberry vine-cutting!! At least Silverdale Brewery is up the road where he can find a tall glass of Whoopass!
Typical Colorado Spring
We got a foot of wet slushy snow last night that pretty much destroyed all my little trees :( but is melting away to nothing today.

Sunny and warm
The sun was so toasty today that I got TWO loads of laundry washed and dried! Instead of the usual 3-4 days it takes wet laundry to dry in my bathroom!**********************************

sunny in Tacoma
enuf to get a mouse out cutting the lawn...'sposed to be record temps sometime this week....but it's only March so that doesn't mean much. We'll see after the day of the fool, next week.
Way too hot
here in central Ontario - record highs for this time of year. The first week of April usually yields our last snowfall of the year, not mid 20C. Nobody's complaining, though my body feels it's strange. Not a lot of water in the system - the melt was way early - the maple sap run has been interrupted, on & off again. Wierd weather...
2 ft of snow in the mountains
all the passes are at 29 degrees, while the lower elevations are getting rain. temp was 42 until 7 am and then went to 38 here in Tacoma. of course nothing like the inundation occurring in the east.
southern Oregon coast
Rain was coming down in sheets and blowing sideways this morning, seems to be letting up a little now. Besides sunny and warm I love a good storm.
Montréal qc
sunny and a warm 77 degrees. use to be around 40.And warmer to come tomorrow!
Peterborough, Ontario, Canada
First time we've had rain more than 3mm in 3 months! We're in practically drought conditions, not typical for our spring "rainy" season. Hard to complain with the beautiful sunshine all the time, though. I bet we're in for another cold, wet summer. Seems like our spring and summer have become reversed these past 4 or so years. And our cold winter's turned to mush. I think we should change the poem: April flowers bring May showers.
Duck weather
in southern Germany this morning. Grey skies, spring drizzle, and around 50ish degrees F**********************************

month of May weather
In France we had a weird month of May ! Started sunny and flowery , then for 2 weeks we had to put back the heaters on , then last week , we had a sudden heatwave crushing plants and us like in a sahara desert , then floods came up again a few days ago , and now we have rather fresh mornings and hot afternoons , as if the weather didn't know what to do next anymore !
SUNNY
SUNNY right now! Just a reminder of what Memorial Day weekend is really all about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorial_Day may they rest in peace
sunshine daydreams finally here
after the rainiest spring in my 11 years on the Oregon coast it looks as though summer is here. The first couple days of Memorial day weekend were pretty nice though. Me and the doggie hiked to Blossom Bar in the Wild Rogue Wilderness area. It was only a four mile round trip but since Sheba is almost 17 years old it's about the most we can do. Am getting ready now to go climb a peak that's 3,040 ft. high and only 3 miles from the ocean.
Spent a little time on the mountain
Spent a little time on the hill
Things went down we don't understand
But I think in time we will
3 Hs this July
Hazy, hot & humid in the Green Mtns of Vermont. Summertime and the livin' is ez
Been measuring 99-100 degrees INSIDE
Outside is even hotter, and at least the house give protection from the sun, butam feeling pretty yukky about it-like a 300 pound slug actually. It is the 11th or 12th day like this, and much as I swore I hated them; I am fantasizing about air conditioning-especially when the temperature in the house is 95 or so at midnight.

Short of AC Lilly...
...you can shut the windows and run a dehumidifier. Still noise and expense and electricity usage (quite a bit, actually) but it's not AC if that's what you object to.
Stay cool. I strongly dislike the humidity also.
check out the Perseids
The Perseid metor showers have started and will peak on the night of the 11th-12th and the crescent moon will be setting early. I went out to try and see the northern lights that were supposed to come our way a couple nights ago. I didn't see them but did see over 20 shooting stars by midnight. The weather? Sunny and in the 70's.
Wow, cold at night!
The rude calling card of changing seasons are the cold temps.at night -- like around 45 degrees! It has been so hot this year that it seemed summer would stretch on 4-evuhh...
Alas, the wonderful warm shades of fall are ushered in on cooling breezes.
~ summer fades and seasons change
same old friends the wind and rain
we'll see summer come again ~
A Miamian in Boston
First 3 days cool but muggy, went to Maine cooler than hot 92 this morning. now back in Beantown and hot plus most people don't have good A/Cs. In Miami A/C is a religion.
And the road goes on forever....

Night games in S.F.;
Marye, your comment on the weather for tonight's game got me to wondering what Jerry might have said in response to the words of Tigerlillie's fave philosopher, Samuel Langhorne Clemens when he said "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco"....
Atlantic tropical storms
Have you ever seen so may cyclones spinning out of Africa before? Will Earl, Fiona or Gaston make it to the (USA) east coast ?
Toasty in northern New England
Gotta love it! 5 days in a row of beautiful weather with highs around 90 starting today. Summer marches on into September. Taking in a fair. tending to the harvest. What a life!
Earl's picking up steam
East coasters beware! Fiona will fizzle out while Earl churns along up the US eastern coast. Let's see what Gaston will do behind Fiona... I'll be on the beach in FL next week....
Earl very well may...
...plow into SE New England if it doesn't make landfall farther South. It is now a category 4 and there about 40,000,000 people who should be paying attention but probably aren't.
Let us hope it curls out to sea.

A Grateful Day (and weekend)
Over Red Rocks! Low 80's and lots o' sun! Although its been getting below 50 at night as a warning..
Heading up there in a bit, hope to see some of you and wishing everyone a grand time.
