[carpoor]

81* yesterday, supposedly high of 67* tomorrow. Already in the 60s and sunny this morning.

[chevymaher]

Good thing i painted yesterday. It is cold and snowing out there now. Not enough to say it did almost. But I did see it hitting the truck and it wasn't melting

[Ken Hayes]

We never really got any high winds like that here Ric. It was nice and comfy outside with 73°. I went around the house checkin the gutters and putting on some Flex Seal in the corners that had small leaks before. Mulched the grass and leaves so I'm good to go.

Today its cold (39°) rainy and windy. Tomorrow they're saying maybe some snow.

[carpoor]

Just let my dogs out... it's currently 40* here. You guys further north have got to be freezing right now.

[BillsCamino]

Yeah...mid 30's here this AM
Winter has arrived :(
Although, we've not had any rain since mid Sept

[carpoor]

42* this morning, 70* this afternoon. Hopefully warming back up over the next few days, I have been trying to get my father's truck bed painted. It's all blocked and masked, just waiting for the best possible weather conditions.

[shadowgray396]

Rain and more rain. Looks like another record month for rain. Been really wet the last two months. I think we have only had 4 days this month without rain.

[carpoor]

Low 80s the past two days. The weather has been beautiful.

[shadowgray396]

Snow and ice for us today. Work closed early. Should be just rain by morning. Still been very wet around here the last two months.

[chevymaher]

23 here and we are supposed to get our first snow in a day or 2.

[shadowgray396]

Finally warmed up to 40. Looks like rain the next few days and then clearing up but only high around 35 and lows in the 20's.

[Ken Hayes]

Were in the makings of about 10" of that white crap. I went out about 2 hrs ago and used the snowblower on 3 1/2" of it. Right now theres about 4" more, so it don't look like I did anything. I'll do it again later on and then again in the morning before Judy leaves for work.

[chevymaher]

It snowed pretty hard all day the ground was to warm for it to stick. it is definitely on the way here next time.

[carpoor]

It has been in the 80s the past three days. ::Shrug::

[shadowgray396]

We had freezing rain a week ago and yesterday we had a snow event. It's amazing how a few inches and some ice completely shut down the roads. Kids got stranded at schools until 11 pm at night, some didn't get home for 6 to 10 hours, hundreds of cars left on the roads. It really was a lack of DOT getting de-icer on the roads before the storm and not closing schools early, plus people not having chains and traction tires. It took me 4 hrs to go 17 miles to home from work. I had chains on, many did not. I bought 4 new traction tires for the GMC last night, feels like it can climb a mountain now.

[chevymaher]

it has been single digits here the last couple days. And it is supposed to get to almost 60 in a day or so with rain. So they called off the snow we were going to get. It will be rain instead.

I broke down started the truck and drove it to warm it up and circulate the fluids it almost time to be using it everyday

[chevymaher]

And being ky it already changed a little. Now they saying sleet then freezing rain till morning. Then warm and rain tomorrow with thunderstorms like it is spring or something. Bad thing is i got to be driving a hour in a row a hour after it starts. Yea. Hope I miss it actually.

[carpoor]

Started off a little chilly this morning, ended up with 76* the high. It was one of the driest days this year. Still right around 70*, I just took my dogs out in shorts, a t shirt, and flip flops.

[shadowgray396]

Freeways are clear, but it's amazing how the cities are doing nothing about the side roads that are icy. Its finally going to thaw maybe by Sunday and back to rain.

[Ken Hayes]

WTF............its Dec 26th and its 55° and raining near Detroit.

[chevymaher]

it was 75 degrees a little while ago here. supposed to be 27 low tomorrow.

[shadowgray396]

40 and dry. Worked in the yard today trimming trees for spring. Wet tomorrow and dry the rest of the week. High 40 and lows around 30.

[carpoor]

77* in the shade, hot and humid. I am soaked from just a few hours worth of work.

[shadowgray396]

Clearing here for the new year. Lows in the teens and highs maybe 29. We are having a winter this year. Snow maybe by next weekend. Lots of snow in the mountains. Right now over 100 inches.

[carpoor]

Winter in Florida was today... 80 yesterday, 45 this morning. Mid 70s again tomorrow. :cool:

[carpoor]

Not sure how we are going to get to the 70s today, currently 37 degrees.

[shadowgray396]

Expecting snow tomorrow then changing to freezing rain tomorrow night and remaining below freezing most of Sunday. Expecting around 1" of ice. Most likely power will be going out in some area's. Sounds like it might return again in a week.

[Hank70SS]

Ya, west coast is going to get hammered along with the south east and east coast. We just have cold, around 6* right now and a little bit of light snow, lake effect snow that makes it this far across the state.

[chevymaher]

Winter is here now. Brutal cold and snow. Half way point so from here on out it should get better.

[BillsCamino]

A little over an inch of snow and some sleet here last night...sunny but cold today. Back in the 60s later next week.

[shadowgray396]

Snow is now started to fall, we will see what happens in the next 24 hours.

Snow came, but we only got 1/2 inch. Down south of us got 4 to 6 inches. Freezing rain has started and is expected to get worse by mid morning tomorrow.

[chevymaher]

It is just wicked cold here. More snow wed they say. I got the van clean gave it a indoor car wash. Truck got to wait to be driven it gets the quarter car wash treatment in the winter. But it has to be at least 20 out so it dont just freeze the truck shut on the way home.

[carpoor]

Winter is temporarily back, 36 degrees this morning. Currently 44, and only expecting a high of 52 this afternoon.

[Hank70SS]

52 sounds great, it's 15 here. Supposed to be in low 40's Tuesday but snow turning to rain at night or something like that. It's been too cold here to snow much. Usually get the heaviest snows when temps are in the 20's, pushing 30.

[chevymaher]

20 now and going into the 30's we having a heat wave today LOL

[carpoor]

It only went to 51 yesterday. Another chilly morning today, 38 degrees. It's currently in the low 60s, I am wearing shorts today.

[shadowgray396]

Up to 12" tonight for snow. First major storm since 2005

[shadowgray396]

It's a winter wonderland around here.

[Hank70SS]

We got around 5" yesterday but the temps kept rising, turned to rain gusts of 50 mph or more. Glad I didn't waste my time clearing the snow. The driveway is pretty much clean, a little ice but temps are supposed to hit around 40 again today. We did lose power around 9:30 last night, came back around 5:30 this morning. I'm really liking that automatic standby generator. Power went out, generator fired up and a few seconds later we had power again. The cable system was knocked out so we watched a DVD.

[shadowgray396]

12" and counting snow. Not going to stop snowing till 4pm today. Most snow in 30 years. Heavy rain on the way by next Tuesday and 50 degrees. Won't be above freezing until Sunday. Lots of trees down in the area and power out.

[chevymaher]

54 pouring down rain. And flocks of birds coming back. Strange indeed.

[Hank70SS]

12", not fun, been there done that. It doesn't happen here very often but it does happen. Stay safe, hope you get power back soon.

[chevymaher]

We are having bizzare weather right now. Extremely windy and 66 degrees. But it is going down to 31 tonight. It needs to or the stupid trees will bud and it will kill them when it does get cold again.

[Hank70SS]

Same thing here. Temps kept rising all day. Got to 58 in Detroit last night, close to that here. Wind, downpour and lightening. 29 here right now.

[carpoor]

It was almost 80 degrees yesterday, similar weather today.

[shadowgray396]

Been staying in the 20's so the ice has been bad. We don't use salt here, and the roads are not sanded on the side roads. Most freeways are clear. Expecting it warm to 50 on Tuesday with major rain next week. So flooding is going to happen, since freezing levels are going to 6000 feet. We are at 100 feet elevation.

[carpoor]

Can you say eighty degrees? A little humid, but otherwise a beautiful day.

[chevymaher]

It is midnight and 45 degrees still. It is a odd warm winter this year so far.

[shadowgray396]

Ice and snow is finally melting. Going to be 50 here today, but 2" of rain. Flooding is going to happen. Since Oregon doesn't use salt, the roads have been bad for over a week.

[flash]

We are having near spring type weather here in Georgia ,love it .

[carpoor]

Currently 78 degrees with a nice breeze, loving it.

[Hank70SS]

The weather here has been miserable. Started the week with rain, sleet, freezing rain then more rain. The outside humidity has been 99% or close all week. Fog in the morning that doesn't clear out until in the afternoon then it comes back around 5-6 o'clock. We did get to see the sun for a few hours yesterday afternoon, it was in the upper 50's. Today solid gray skies all day. Everything outside is dripping wet. Even the things on the patio under an enclosed deck above.

Anyway, I'm sick of it. Packing the motorhome this week and heading to Florida next Saturday. Tony you better save us some sunshine or no Koegel hot dogs for you!

[flash]

Its raining cats and dogs here ,rained early today as well .the temps have been 55 all day today .It was sunny yesterday with a high in the 70's ,really weird for January .Better than the snow and ice a couple of weeks ago .

[FlintTony]

We had some rain and some pretty high winds here yesterday. First rain in a long time. Temps are going back to normal this week, which is just about perfect weather.

Plenty of sunshine here Hank. See you in a week. Bring your work boots.

I can bring my boots but I'll be on vacation and they won't fit you.

[flash]

Its still raining here today and getting cooler .

[chevymaher]

it says we got 2 more days then winter returns.

[Hank70SS]

Ya, rained here again today and more tonight. Supposed to be cloudy all week and the temps are dropping through the week. Just when I have to pack the motorhome. If it would stay above freezing I could fill and sanitize the fresh water tank. But no, temps have to go down into the 20's later this week and I'm not running that propane furnace for days to keep it warm.

[chevymaher]

warm today but.....they are not sure when or how much. But they are sure it is going to snow soon. Local channels are spouting the alert.

[carpoor]

Started off the day at 46 degrees, supposed to go to 71. Warming up nicely so far.

However, I am stuck at the doctor's office with my father. General maintenance/checkup today. But, he has been losing his balance and falling down lately. I plan to voice my concerns to his doctor, much to the old man's dismay.

[Hank70SS]

Hope you did talk to the Dr. Don't want him falling and really hurting himself.

[carpoor]

36 degrees this morning! Supposedly going to 71 later today.

[flash]

Today was nice weatherwise but it sucked as I had to fight traffic into Atlanta for a Dr appointment .2 more appointments a day apart in a couple of weeks .Getting old sux .

[shadowgray396]

Snow headed back on Thursday. Been about 45 here the last week.

[chevymaher]

Tulips are 8 inches tall now. trees are budding. Long term forecast is supposed to barely dip below freezing. How bizarre.

[shadowgray396]

Icy roads this morning, about 34 here now headed for 45 by midnight. Snow may be back on super bowl Sunday.

[chevymaher]

Yep winter here to now. 19 degrees now.

[flash]

It is 29 here currently ,hope the wind dont go nuts like yesterday .Mother Nature cant make up her mind ,sunny and warm one day and freezing your buddys off the next .

[Hank70SS]

It's 74 here in southern Fl at 8 am. 10 degrees back home in Brighton, Mi.

[shadowgray396]

1 day storm headed here tomorrow. Might get 12" of snow. We will see.

[chevymaher]

Considering we were competing with the great lakes for snowfall the last 5 years. We haven't had nothing this year. I had the truck out once a couple hours. Turned out I didn't really need it either.

Ice is what we been having. Rain them cold making skating rinks.

[shadowgray396]

No snow yet. 34 degrees and has been rain hard all day. If this had been snow we would be buried. Flooding right now in lots of areas. Still saying snow around 1am but will warm up mid morning with more rain.

[Hank70SS]

Lower 80's here in south Fl. Cold front coming in this week, only going to upper 70's. That's what they call a cold front here, a drop in temps of a few degrees. Heat wave means the temps going up maybe 5 degrees. These people would all freak out if they ever experienced a real cold front. Me, I hardly notice the difference.

[Ken Hayes]

We haven't really had that much snow here in the Motor City either. Think I've used the small snowblower only 3 times. Today its 42° and been light rain all day. Almost all the snow that was on the ground is melted.........good, it will wash most of the salt off the roads.

[RBeckman]

Thank you for the weather report as I'm here in Michigan holding the fort down and making sure you and Tony are getting your retirement and entailments in a timely matter. It was in the 50's yesterday if that matters.

[FlintTony]

And we really appreciate it Ric, as we were sitting outside, in the sunshine, 75 degree temps, wondering if you were going to get that raise so we could look for a few more bucks in those retirement checks we are getting. Should I give payroll a call today and "put in a good word" for you?

[Hank70SS]

Good idea Tony, I'll call too. I could use a few more bucks. Food is really expensive here, just about everything is more expensive here.

[flash]

Just quit eating and it gets cheaper .

[shadowgray396]

Finally the rains stopped for a few days. Going finally get the Chevelle out tomorrow for a drive.

Guys, I got a call today concerning your bitching about getting more money. They said that now that Trump is in they will be sending you a voucher for a Alarm clock.....so no more freebies for you.

[Hank70SS]

You mean my free Obama phone is going away? What the %*^*(^(? That's just not right, I need my phone, damn gubment.

Oh wait, this thread is about weather. Well it's great here, temps have dropped down some. Low 80's today and the humidity has dropped. Of course I got what ever Tony had when we visited. Sinus's are all plugged up and have had a headache for days.

[FlintTony]

Whoa Ric. That must have been one of those George Soros paid "protesters" that called you. I aint getting any free-bees, only a small chunk of what I paid in for about 50 years.


Hank, good luck with that flu shit. It seems like everyone in this part of the State has gotten it. The local school says that 90% of the students have had it. Lasts a long time too.

This poison ivy has really wreaked havoc on me. I'm almost ready to go to a real doctor. Both arms, stomach, and now my neck are covered with the shit.

[Hank70SS]

Ouch, I think that might be worse than the flu Tony. Go see a Doc, maybe get something to put on it.

[FlintTony]

Ouch, I think that might be worse than the flu Tony. Go see a Doc, maybe get something to put on it.

Went to town and talked to the Pharmacist, got some lighter fluid, Benadryl, and some anti-itching cream. Hopefully his remedy does some good.

Going gun shopping for Kathy this morning. Weather is going to be perfect today, may rain tomorrow.

Was shooting the new S&W 38 airlight pistol and discovered the cylinder isn't locking to the frame. S&W is sending return shipping box for it.

I'm glad Obama care is working for you.

[FlintTony]

You a funny Mo-Fo Ric!!!

[flash]

Boy it rained cats and dogs here this morning and I had to drive into Atlanta to see the back surgeon ,took 2 hours to get there .Should only take an hour .The bad thing is I have to go back on Friday for a Byopsy on my Prostate Gland ,dont look forwrd to any of that .

[carpoor]

I got some of that funk too! Started with a sore throat, then congestion and migraines. Then add in a bad stomach - think crohns disease... I eat, and am in bathroom an hour later. This has been going on since I left work Thursday. I have missed out on some great weather because I have been feeling so crappy.

One of my good friends, same age as me, had to go to the hospital because his symptoms were so bad. He's on meds, but had a bad reaction and has a nasty rash all over his arms and chest. There's some bad stuff going around lately, I am just glad that I don't have it as bad as some people. I have not missed any time at work, just had some really rough days.

[Hank70SS]

Guess I'm lucky. Just sinus congestion mostly, some coughing but not bad. No aches and pains or upset stomach.

[Ken Hayes]

And getting back to the weather........Hank, gonna be in the 60's here this weekend. All next week above average temps.

[carpoor]

Started the day at 44 degrees, ended up with 76 degrees. High chance of rain the middle of next week.

[chevymaher]

I got one tree definitely getting leaves over the next few days. Bamboo is coming up. And temps in the 40's to upper 60's this week.

[Hank70SS]

Supposed to be 61 up in Detroit today? That's kinda crazy for mid-February. Been hot done here in southern Florida.

[flash]

Definitely strange weather for February but it beats being cold .Although I could do without the rain we are currently getting ,need to go see my new 72 Chevy 4x4 truck that showed up at the bodyshop yesterday .

[Ken Hayes]

Hank, its 62 right now @ 12:45pm.......gonna be over 64 (new record) by the time its done. Pulled the car out of the garage and spatter painted inside the trunk (black and aqua), looks real good. Going for a ride in a bit.

It does looks good congrats. That is quickly rising to the top of my to do list.

[RBeckman]

It's 60 up here in Westbranch and we went snowmobiling this morning and when we cam back about 2:00 we had to cross lake ogemaw and it was 2" of water on the ice....scary ride for sure.

[Hank70SS]

What spatter paint did you use Ken. They say the GM stuff is water soluble. I don't have any leaks in my trunk but throw a cooler or other wet stuff in there and you never know. So I covered it with Krylon satin clear. It looks good and has been there for at least 5 years, maybe more. I lose track of what I did when to the Chevelle.

[Ken Hayes]

I used the GM kind and then 3 coats of Rust-oleum Crystal Clear Gloss. Spatter paint sure stinks but it looks great.

[Hank70SS]

Good job Ken.

[Hank70SS]

Got over an inch of rain here yesterday. We're about 8 miles north of Homestead, Fl, about 30 miles from Key Largo. All the keys got hammered along with Miami and Ft Lauderdale. Guess that's not bad, first rain since we've been here, except I've got 2 leaks at top of windshield in the motorhome. Not sure if it's the windshield or a couple of the marker lights up higher. There are 5 across the top front, leaks are pretty close to being under 2 of them. Guess that's my project for the day. Supposed to 79 and no rain.

[flash]

It is looking like a nice sunny day here in Ga for a change .

[Ken Hayes]

Almost 70° today in the Motor City.

[Hank70SS]

Almost 70° today in the Motor City.

That's just crazy. February is when we get temps down to 0 or below.

[chevymaher]

It is crazy. I got on flip flops and shorts working in the yard. Seeing all the plants growing that gonna die tonight when it drops to 27 degrees for a few hours. Well not die but it isn't gonna do them any favors.

[flash]

It is 78 degrees here in Georgia .

[carpoor]

Wednesday and Thursday were rainy, especially Thursday. Today was in the 80s and sunny.

[carpoor]

Started off around 50 this morning, it was a little chilly. It's still in the low 80s as I type this.

[chevymaher]

It is 46 raining and thundering so hard it is shaking the windows here. Dry creek in the back yard is full and running hard.

[shadowgray396]

Rain then rain and then more rain. Hasn't hardly stopped all month. Broke all the records this month. I think we have only had 2 days without rain. Going to rain all the rest of the week. Actually had some snow yesterday.

[chevymaher]

Sons school bus left not a minute later sirens went off. Wow that one was rough. No touch down reported by it was close. Tree was hitting the house. I reckon i got to get some britches on and go clean the branches so I can get out of the driveway.

[chevymaher]

Well house is fine. Looks like about a cord of wood on the roof. Kidding but there is a bunch up there I got to get down when it dries off. Down the road what ever it was ripped a tree out by the roots that was a good 15 foot in diameter. Bunch of tornadoes just north of us.

Chevelle made it this time. When I first got the stupid car tornadoes knocked a big tree down on it. Tree kinda tripoded over the car limiting the roof damage tho. That was a big repair fixing the roof. A years worth of extra work I could have done with out.

[flash]

We are due for stormy weather this afternoon ,hope it is not too bad .

[chevymaher]

trucks hood got a few dents in it. Now that it is sunny and not raining I see the bad news LOL.Yea more body work

[shadowgray396]

Snow in the forecast tonight. Where is spring?

[chevymaher]

oddly it is here. 60 degrees.

[Hank70SS]

We're in Fl but they lost power at home on Tuesday. DTE energy estimated 900,000 without power Tuesday. Largest outage in their history. Still no power at our house today. We have an automatic standby generator so we have power and the furnace is working. Many of our neighbors also have auto generators, feel sorry for those that don't. 23 degrees at home today, high of 25.

[carpoor]

Currently 81* and sunny. :cool:

[shadowgray396]

Finally got some sun today. It's been a long winter. Rain tomorrow again and sun on Sunday. Might get to 60 finally.

[Hank70SS]

Went down to 48 over night here, still in south Fl. Had to get up and turn the heat on in the middle of the night. That's better than the 19 at home though.

[carpoor]

We saw a low of 35 on this side of the state.

[carpoor]

Nice day today, haven't personally observed anything warmer than 68 degrees. But, sunny and dry.

[chevymaher]

Cold here but at least the 20's are over. We in the 40's and no more freezing they said.

[shadowgray396]

Getting one day of sun before the rains return. Man it been a wet two months. Flooding and land slides is all that seems to be in the news.

[flash]

Its sunny and 53 degrees here but very windy ,makes for a cool day.

[Hank70SS]

Weather here in south Florida is finally about average. Upper 50's to low 60's at night. Low humidity and highs around 80, perfect.

[carpoor]

Send some of that a few hours north Hank, it's been mid to upper 40s every morning in this part of the state. And quite windy during the day. The pollen is awful too.

[carpoor]

Lots of rain yesterday, washed away most of this damn pollen. Very mild today, saw a high of 74. Supposed to be low 80s the next five days.

[shadowgray396]

39 days of some type of rain, is it every going to stop. We are about to set a recorded again for the wettest month of March. We set one last month for February. People skiing love it, 200" of snow on the mountain. No water shortage this year.

[Hank70SS]

84 and humid yesterday, forecast is the same for today. Time to pack up and head home. We'll leave tomorrow morning and probably get home Sunday. Assuming no nasty weather north of here.

[FlintTony]

It's a little cooler up here Hank. I'm putting stuff away now, as we are heading out Sat morning. Hope to be home Sunday morning. Have a safe trip.

[carpoor]

Currently 87 and humid...

[flash]

Its going to be pretty dicey around here the next few days ,thunderstorms and tornadoes are possible .

[Hank70SS]

Got home yesterday and it was around 60. Supposed to start raining today and rain all week, oh boy.

[shadowgray396]

Finally some sun for the last few days and in the mid 60's. Rain returns in time for the weekend.

[Hank70SS]

Supposed to snow on Friday, low of 27 overnight. Great, I have to leave the propane furnace on in the motorhome or winterize the water system again.

[FlintTony]

Shit!!! Shit!!!! I leave 80-85 degrees for this shit!!! Rain, snow, more rain, and so much standing water and mud that I can't do shit around here!!! I am pissed!!!! I did get the 4 fence posts replaced yesterday, in the frickin rain!!!

[FlintTony]

More snow , rain, and ice today. High winds taking down more of my fence and dead ash trees. Too much mud and standing water to get anything done outside.

[carpoor]

Rain most of the morning, then beautiful sunny day with nary a cloud in the sky. Cooling off nicely now.

[Hank70SS]

Ya, yesterday was miserable. We went out early in the morning hoping to get some errands done before the rain turned to snow. No such luck, had almost white out conditions from time to time. Not very warm today but at least the sun is out.

[shadowgray396]

60 mph winds yesterday. 27 hours no power. Trees down everywhere, with all this rain the ground is saturated and did take much for the trees to go down with leaves on them. I have about 100 fir branches in my back yard and a mess in the street. Otherwise we faired better then most I keep my trees trimmed so no loss of trees. The Portland Swap meet is this weekend and I heard tents and awning went everywhere.

[Ms Grumpy]

Glad to hear that you didn't have any damage Ray.

Was nice here today. It was in the mid 60's I think. But nice enough to be outside.

[FlintTony]

Went to an outdoor swap meet yesterday. It was a little on the cool side, but warmed up the rest of the day. Still too wet and muddy out back to get anything done.

Ray, do you run a generator when the power goes down?

[Hank70SS]

Yesterday was a nice day. Spent the afternoon picking up branches. Was going to wait until we got them all up before setting them on fire but when the pile got to be 4' high and ~6' across it was time to light it up. We still have a couple of big areas to clean up, maybe today. We got lucky though, no trees or big branches down, just a bunch of mostly smaller stuff.

[mestorod70]

Been a little on the cold side here.
High 81...low 60. although it did rain for a few hours on thursday.

[chevymaher]

It warmed up the last couple days. I been in the boat with a heater under the tarp working. Rainy and cold the lsat week, Today got the air on.

[carpoor]

The last few days have been great.Temperatures in high 70s and sunny. No rain the forecast for the foreseeable future.

I came back to Michigan too early. Those are perfect temps where you are. It's in the low thirties here now. I won't make the same mistake next year. Hope you can make it up to my place next year.

[carpoor]

Me too. I look forward to throwing some lead with you.

The time frame isn't working out this year, my folks want to sell their place and move. I have been trying to help work on their house and finish up some projects. But, none of it is getting done fast enough.

[shadowgray396]

They say dry this weekend and maybe 66. I hope so. Still been raining.

[shadowgray396]

I knew it has been wet. Rain from October to October is 29 inches for a year. We are at 46 inches since October. Might finally get 4 dry days in a row starting Saturday. Might finally get the Chevelle out to a show.

[Ken Hayes]

Good luck Ray.

[carpoor]

Currently 92 degrees... we need some rain badly!

[flash]

It rained real hard early today ,now the sun is out again .I cant keep the neighbors leaves out of my ditch very long at a time ,wish they would get them up .Have to try and keep ahead of them or my driveway will wash out .

[carpoor]

We got some much needed rain this morning, still could use some more.

[flash]

I hope we dont get any more til after our University graduation is over ,its outside this year and we are still not finished setting things up .Come on Friday so we can get this one done .

[shadowgray396]

We set another record for rain in April. Finally got some sun yesterday and today. 82 today then back to rain and 60. First time this year we made it past the 60's. We haven't even been in to 70 until yesterday. Normally we are around 70 this time of year. It's stayed in the 50' and low 60's so far this year.

[carpoor]

More rain, we needed it. Supposedly more later tonight and tomorrow morning. Currently 81 degrees.

[FlintTony]

More rain here too, and we damn sure don't need it. Temps have been in the forties, no relief in sight. There is standing water all over my place, pond is overflowing, and it just flat ass sucks.

[Hank70SS]

We don't have any standing water, our house sits up kind of high but the ground is pretty much saturated. Been here 16 years and have never seen the yard this wet for this long.

[shadowgray396]

Finally about 5 days of no rain. Been in the 70's. Rain returns on Thursday thru next week. Still haven't made a car show yet, but really not much out there until next month around here. Rains to much until June around here.

[pitts64]

It's been decent here in Pittsburgh since February but were close to the Mason Dixon and don't get that Northern weather thank God...

I undercoat with spray grease and drive mine in the rain... I take it off the road once they salt for winter..

[carpoor]

It was almost 100 degrees today. It hovered around 96-97 most of the afternoon. It's still 80 degrees as I type this.

[FlintTony]

Has it rained again yet? Up in Citrus County, it is exceptionally dry. I hope the fires don't get up there. My brother said he can smell the smoke.

[carpoor]

Not for about a week. 20-30% chance tomorrow.

[shadowgray396]

35 days of no rain. I'm in heaven after the winter we had.

[chevymaher]

Really Ray. It is terrible here if it don't rain that long. Deadly hot and I have to stand in it and water for hours. I prefer nice heavy evenly spaced rains myself.

[flash]

We have had about 3 days in a row last week of no rain ,it rained yesterday and looks like rain again today .My lawn mower has been stuck more this summer than ever before and I cant keep the grass mowed nice as its too thick and always wet .Im glad I have a tractor to pull the mower out .

[shadowgray396]

Very dry this summer here. Still no rain predicted. In the high 80's next week. We don't have the humidity like you guys have, so its very tolerable.

[carpoor]

Still hot and humid daily, and the typical afternoon rain.

[shadowgray396]

45 days no rains. Heat wave coming starting Tuesday. 105 degrees plus till Friday. That going to be a record. We don't have AC in our home.

[FlintTony]

Why no AC? Man, you're going to be roasting!

[flash]

Im going to have central A/C in my home next year ,have a furnace and window units but they cant keep up after taking out 30 trees that blocked the sun .The last few days here have been very nice .

[shadowgray396]

Why no AC? Man, you're going to be roasting!

Most of the time we really don't need it. Our summers are mid 70's to mid 80's, with it cooling off quickly at night. But the weather patterns are changing. For us 5 - 100 degree days is it for the year. I'm heading to the beach house, it going to be about 70 down there all week. Our humidity is only 15% this time of year.

[carpoor]

15% humidity sounds amazing. It's 100% here. (Rain)

[shadowgray396]

53 days of no rain. It might start to change next week just before the total eclipse on August 21st. They are predicting a million people coming into our area for it. Excepting traffic to be a night mare. Been about 90 every day.

[chevymaher]

Here it is a bizarre summer. It is getting reasonably hot. But at night it is getting cold enough to turn the heater on in the van. It normally is in the 80's at night in aug.

[carpoor]

Send some of that here, a cool night here is 75* with high humidity .

Today was blazing hot, around 93* with a heat index of 102. I spent my day off putting a set of power leather seats in my father's Sierra for him. Wasn't a plug and play deal, his truck is a base model with crank windows.

[chevymaher]

62 degrees here now.

[carpoor]

It's 88* here. :(

[shadowgray396]

The 100 degree weather is finally gone, we have been 65 days with only 0.10 inches of rain. Been around the mid 80's now.

We have about a million extra people in Oregon to watch the eclipse on Monday. Roads are expected to be grid locked on Monday and Tuesday. A lot of businesses are telling people to stay home. Gas and food is also in short supply with all these people. I heard farms are renting out there fields for camping at around $400 a night for a camping space. Hotel rooms are going for as much as a $1000 a night. It's gone crazy.

[shadowgray396]

Eclipse day.

[shadowgray396]

Back to 100, while parts of the country are getting wind and rain. We have only had a 0.10 of an inch of rain since June 1st. Went from the wettest winter on record to looks like the driest summer. Weather is all over the place anymore.

[flash]

Been pretty dry here the last couple of weeks but we may get some rain from the storms hitting Texas .Those folks are getting hammered.

[chevymaher]

It is unseasonably mild here for aug. 60's in the morning when it should be at least 80. Afternoon it is only hitting 80 a moment and immediately dropping back into the 70's. Been real dry. Hoping the rain the called for don't miss us again.

[Hank70SS]

Highs should be around 80 but have only been in the low 70s. Supposed to warm up some over Labor Day. Got a good soaking rain yesterday. We needed it, some of the lawn was pretty toasted.

[shadowgray396]

We're getting all the smoke from the fires south of us. It was so smokely today we only hit mid 80's. Back in my the high 90's this Labor Day weekend.

[carpoor]

It's been high 80s to mid 90s, muggy and rain every day.

[shadowgray396]

98 today, but never saw the sun with all the smoke in the air. We have fires all over. The lastest fire because someone set off fireworks in the woods. Really?? Still no rain in sight. We haven't had any real rain since June. That not our normal. Went out tonight and the truck is covered in ash.

[carpoor]

Well... time for a category 5 hurricane. Hunker down!

[Hank70SS]

...The lastest fire because someone set off fireworks in the woods. Really??...

Half the people in this country are below average intelligence and you can't cure stupid. I know it seems like more than half but that just means the average is pretty darn low.

Our weather has been up and down. Should be close to 80 for a high, this week and last some days didn't see 70. Oh and yesterday was 85-86. We have been getting some rain though which we need.

[shadowgray396]

Fire has spread over 10,000 acres and has burnt up most of the scenic area in the gorge and now has moved 20 miles west toward towns. It's jumped across the Columbia River 3/4 of a mile now into Washington and growing over there. Hot embers keep starting more fires. We are so dry it's not taking much. 93 today again.

[flash]

We got some much needed rain tonight and probably will get much more from the Hurricane that is about to hit somewhere in Florida , I feel for the folks down there as it looks like it will be really bad .

[chevymaher]

Us to we got rain. It is now warmish but not as hot as it should be. Kinda nice actually.

[mestorod70]

Here is the weekend forcast for my area....in case i dont make it.
160 mph wind...2 feet of water surounding whats left of my house.
And everything i own is scattered in a 5 mile radius.

[Hank70SS]

carpoor, mestrod hope you guys stay safe. Just saw latest storm track and looks like it will hit the keys and up the east coast through Miami. If that's not bad enough 2 more storms have formed in the Atlantic that are right behind Irma. Hopefully they don't follow the same track. Good luck and stay safe.

[shadowgray396]

Irma looks mad. Going to hit hard. Be safe. Fire here is now at 33,000 acres and not even one bit contained. Brother inlaw had to evaluate his house and took all his live stock. Now it's a waiting game to see what happens. Wind are going to shift tonight so that's a good thing for him and the fire, it will blow back onto the area already burned.

[carpoor]

With the impending hurricane... I am reminded that this kind of thing brings out the worst in people. I really hate dealing with the general public.

[FlintTony]

Aint that the truth. I'm getting back to my old ways of just staying home. Always something to do here.

Any chance of rain over there? It must be horrible to have that happen.

Slight chance tomorrow. Not enough. Cooler until Sunday then back to hot weather.

[mestorod70]

IRMA looks like its gona pass directly over my house
(charlotte county)
Shutters are up...chevelle in garage and door screwed shut.
Im hunkering with a slight pucker.

Stay safe. Looks like a lot of destruction will happen. I notice one post where a guy put ratchet type straps across the inside of his garage doors and it kept the doors from blowing into his cars. The took damage but stayed in place.

Man, I sure hope it misses you! If you do get hit, I hope for the best for you.

A friend of mine down there, that is in the path of the storm, called and said I need to get my brother to park his big truck in front of the roll-up doors. He has been through these storms and says that the truck would stop the wind from buckling the doors. Makes sense to me.

[carpoor]

Not feeling the effects here yet, tomorrow morning around 11 is when the rain is supposed to start.

I've been trying to track the storm on-line. What County are you in? My Brother says it's been raining pretty good up there in Citrus County all day.

[mestorod70]

Im still here...Power is finaly back on.
IRMA did a little jog to the east just before it hit charlotte county.
I lost a few screens from the pool cage and lots of yard trash all over
but its all good.
Street had perhaps 12in water at one time but drained by morning.
The wind sound at midnight was like an express train on the roof...very scary.
THE CHEVELLE IS FINE
atb mick.

[Hank70SS]

Glad you came through it alright. That's all that was on the TV as it went up through Naples, Fort Meyers, etc. Pretty nasty stuff. I'll trade a hurricane for some snow in the winter. Michigan is looking better all the time. No floods, no droughts, no hurricanes, no major fires like out west.

[shadowgray396]

We have the worst air quality in the nation. Smoke from the Eagle Creek fire is blowing in. Now at about 45,000 acres. Rain finally coming late tomorrow and staying most of the week. It should help put the some of the fire out, but not excepted to completely be out until the snow comes. We are expecting about 2 inches in the next week. Hopefully we won't have mud slides now.

[carpoor]

Hot, humid, still no power. Lost power last Sunday just before 10 PM. No damage other than a few screens on the pool enclosure.

[mestorod70]

I feel your pain.
Do you have duke?
I see a lot of complaints about them on arfcom.
Hopefully soon

[carpoor]

Yup, Duke Energy. Power was restored finally at 1:37 PM. Now, to try and get back to "normal."

[shadowgray396]

Rained most of this week helped a lot. Back to around 80 all next week.

[Hank70SS]

Have work to do outside but it's getting tough. Close to 90 on Wednesday, 92 yesterday and 91 today and high humidity. We get a break tomorrow, high is only supposed to be 87. This is the end of September, average temps are low 70's?

[flash]

It has been hot and humid here all week too .Almost rained today ,almost .

[carpoor]

Humidity isn't as bad as it has been. High 80s mostly. The weather is definitely getting better.

[vinces427bb]

weather in the desert southwest is starting to cool down.
had average rainfall of less than 5-6'' of total rain so far this year...
typical forecast is warm and sunny about 325 days per year:)

[Hank70SS]

Been over 90 here for a week, average temp is like 71 this time of year. High humidity has made it miserable but we haven't had any rain for awhile. Lawn is looking a little toasted, actually a lot toasted.

That's what the family was saying this week
91* with humidity; sounds like Texas weather:o

[Hank70SS]

Cold front moving down from Canada today. High of 80 today, high of only 64 for the weekend.

[carpoor]

Send some our way! Been mid 90s the past few days. The forecast for the next 4 days is rain... hopefully afternoon showers.

[chevymaher]

I been doing fiberglass work. You can tell it is cooling off it takes alot longer to harden.

[Hank70SS]

Over 90 last Tuesday, 39 yesterday and today when I got up. Today's not supposed to be to bad. 69 and sunny, I can live with that.

[carpoor]

Currently 84* and sunny, best day for weather yet. Still waiting for cooler air. (70s)

[shadowgray396]

Cool and in around 70 with rain showers off and on during the week. The big fire is only 50% contained, but not causing any problems these days.

[carpoor]

Rain all day, don't think it even hit 80 degrees today.

[Hank70SS]

We're finally getting some rain. It's been raining pretty steady most of the night and we really need it. Going to put a damper on finishing the roof on the upstairs porch. I've replaced the last 2' of roof board and the ends of some of the trusses. Now I have to finish removing the rolled roofing and put down the metal roof. We need the rain and I need a break so it's okay.

Like I said it's been a steady rain. no wind or lightening but the power went out a minute ago and the generator started up. Guess I need to let the power company know the electric is out.

[shadowgray396]

Rain today and the rest of the week. Around 60°

[flash]

Hot and muggy here today .

[Hank70SS]

This is October, average high here is 64. 80 here yesterday and it's been like that.

[carpoor]

The heat and humidity was brutal today. I believe 94 degrees at one point. It was still 85 at quarter till 7. Tomorrow I will be working on a roof, looks like another day of sweating profusely.

[chevymaher]

Trees changing leaves falling. Cool and raining after a month of no rain at all.

[Hank70SS]

80 a couple days ago. 53 for a high today and close 1.5" of rain.

[carpoor]

Send some of that here Hank. Was 87 today, 88 yesterday. Started off at 71 this morning around 7am, was 83 by 10:30 today.

[flash]

Its down to 72 here ,been hot and humid .

[Hank70SS]

Enough rain already. 1.5" on Wednesday, more on Thursday. Got a break on Friday. Today it's been a steady rain for the last 10 hours. Not a drizzle but a pretty hard rain. On radar there is a band from Iowa up through Chicago and over us. Every time I look at it, it looks the same. From early this morning until now, 5PM. Glad our house sits up high.

[shadowgray396]

Fall is here. About 60 these days and rain most of the week.

[carpoor]

Only went to 81 today, mostly overcast and humid. Back into the upper 80s by the end of the week. Looks like a mild winter is on the horizon.

I've been checking on the weather down there. Looks like in a week or two, it is going to cool off. I hope so.

[carpoor]

I've been checking on the weather down there. Looks like in a week or two, it is going to cool off. I hope so.

They're saying overnight lows in the 50s starting next Wednesday. I really hope so. I'm ready to sell my little commuter car and daily drive my truck again.

[Hank70SS]

Average temps here are 61 for a high. We've been 70 and above this week and supposed to go through the weekend, I can live with that. Of course next week highs will be in the 50s.

[shadowgray396]

Rain for the next few days. About 3" on the way.

[carpoor]

We finally got some cool air, never saw it go above 69 degrees today. Currently 63 and falling fast.

[carpoor]

And just like that, we're back in the low 80s...

[Hank70SS]

We went from the upper 70's to upper 40's for the coming week. Oh. and plenty of clouds and rain. Fall is supposed to be cool but usually dry and sunny.

[chevymaher]

It sleeted here this morning. I had a 1/4 inch of ice on the boats carport. It is still cold here.

[flash]

Its been cool and raining here all day .

[carpoor]

Had some rain earlier, now sunny... but temperature is dropping fast. Supposedly 46 degrees tomorrow morning.
