Oh my, then I take it back. That region is a veritable hotbed of awesomeness. Brag on, Northerners, brag on.

ETA: woo! Nice TOPP, me.

(Would like to note that although my responses may sound pissy, I am actually being quite playful.)

Aside from the weather, we - um, they - mostly like to brag about how there's absolutely nothing to do (besides drink).

Wisconsinites have cheese and the Packers

Hmm, the one Wisconsinite I know hates the Packers with every fiber of his being, as far as everyone around him can tell.

And all Idahoans love potatoes.

This is my favorite weather season! I love it when it changes all the time, shure I get a little pissed when I loose a lot of hay , but better rain than no rain.

We got 7+ inches of rain in about 12 hours last night. Every major road away from my house has been closed all day because it is flooded. I could still get out but it took an extra 15-20 minutes to get anywhere on back roads. There is a state of emergency for my town and a couple others nearby. Crazy!

Left from my house:

Right from my house:

And the falls that are usually very unimpressive that I had to take the bridge over to get home today (there were like 40 cars pulled over taking pictures of them):

Thats amazing Luet ! I hope you're keeping an eye out for refugee snappers!

We've actually been breaking records here! Actually got over 100 degrees (I can't remember the exact number, maybe 104?)

I know pwebbers who deal with that more often then not, but it's crazy for us!

Posted: **Fri Jul 31, 2009 10:01 pm**

Wow! That's remarkable!

It's been either humid or storming every day for a week. Power went out three times. Third time it set off the old security panel that was here when we moved in, 16 years ago, and has never worked until yesterday.

My walk home was very nice today; it was a breezy, cool 97.

I think we'll be back to double digits for the rest of the year in the next few weeks.

I don't know how you do it ! I'm built to run best at about 78 F

It's pouring rain now... lovely weather.

Colorado is awesome. Today it will be pleasantly in the 70's, perfect weather for opening windows, going on a walk, and playing at the park. Tomorrow, it's going to snow. I love my state's weather!

Same here. And I have soccer practice. What fun

Same here. It's raining, it's cold and it doesn't stop! I have to 45 minutes to school and ughh it's sooo annoying! I feel like I'm sick all time!

Ooooh, soccer was a whirl of ball, mud, and grass... Wet, wet. I hate rain.

All you guys have is rain? Thats it? It has snowed five centimetres since thursday morning and its 263 Kelvin. (I dont measure temps in degrees F or C) This is in a semi-arid geographic area that usually doesn't receive snow until November and doesn't usually get cold until late October. I fell on the sidewalk last night because we had freezing rain turning into snow and apparently no one knows how to deal with ice in October.

Posted: **Sat Oct 10, 2009 9:47 am**

Yeah, just rain, day and night for the past week. I don't think the ground has been properly dry in two weeks...

Posted: **Sat Oct 10, 2009 9:39 pm**

It's colder than s*** here lately! everybodys crying about it, but I love it ! ya gotta have cold in hunting season, and I just love it in the fall anyway!

Everyone has such, ummm.... extreme isn't the word but tis the closest one I can think of right now, extreme weather.
I love socal, i wish we had seasons though

Posted: **Fri Oct 16, 2009 4:09 pm**

Rain all day, and no signs of stopping.

Posted: **Tue Oct 20, 2009 8:25 pm**

We had a thick wet fog till noon here today! I went for my walk and came back soaked, well sorta wet.

SoCal has seasons, but only at night. if you're out in the wee AM hours it's very easy to distinguish spring summer fall and winter, or as they're better known in so Cal, sometimes damp, warm and dry, cool with occasional moisture, and sometimes we wear long sleeved shirts.

It's getting chilly. Today, the high is supposed to be 87 and tomorrow the high is supposed to be 67! 20 degree drop in a day.

It was 58 when I went to the gym this morning, which prompted me to go turtle and draw my arms into my shirt for warmth.

All of this excites me; it means I'll get to drink Chai soon.

Posted: **Tue Oct 27, 2009 11:41 am**

It's been pretty chilly this past week, around the high 40s. It's really bright and sunny out right now, but freezing.

Posted: **Tue Dec 08, 2009 7:41 pm**

Baby, it's cold outside. (-24C/-11F)

It was a really long fall and now winter is upon us rather suddenly.

Kirsten, I miss having you to commiserate.

Posted: **Tue Dec 08, 2009 8:08 pm**

I know. I know. I miss my bragging rights at times. I'm trying hard as hell to hang onto northeastern North Dakota as my reference for normal weather so I can continue to enjoy these mild winters.

They were saying on the news tonight that we were going to have "dangerously cold" windchills of -10 (F). D and I laughed hard.

May I say, however, that the ice and wind here are perfectly comparable and in some ways worse? Would that make you feel better?

Posted: **Wed Dec 09, 2009 3:17 pm**

it is too damn cold for southern california. forties and fifties are unacceptable.

Posted: **Wed Dec 09, 2009 6:29 pm**

9 degrees this morning while I was leaving for work. I hate that it's this cold and there's still no snow.

Posted: **Wed Dec 09, 2009 7:32 pm**

It's a right blustery night tonight. It's weird listening to it rattle the balcony from up here.

Death COLD. It's too cold to live. I am so glad we are moving away from this frozen city soon.

Extreme wind chill values of minus 40 to minus 45 are expected tonight and Tuesday morning. This is a warning that extreme wind chill conditions are imminent or occurring in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements.
Frigid Arctic air will give temperatures falling below minus 30 tonight. This combined with westerly winds of 15 to 20 km/h will produce widespread extreme wind chill values of minus 40 to minus 45 tonight and Tuesday morning. Wind chill values will moderate during the day today and be generally minus 30 to minus 40 but extreme values of less than -40 are likely from time to time today as winds briefly increase to 20 km/h at a few locations across Southern Manitoba. Milder temperatures are expected to return to Southern Manitoba starting mid week as this Arctic airmass slides to the east. At these extreme wind chill values fros
tbite on exposed skin may occur in less than 10 minutes.

*eyes perk up* Oh?

Oh, something weathery...it's in the upper 50s here and I'm hiding under a blanket instead of doing my yard work like a good girl.

Have I not mentioned it? Paul is applying for PhD programs, so when he starts that we'll be living somewhere that's else.

The cities we may end up in are: Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Montreal, St. John's Newfoundland, Rochester NY, Durham NC or Florida (whatever city University of Florida is in, I can't recall).
Wherever gives him the most funding for his PhD!
