What's up with this weather?

[love2sing]

I think I'm going to wrap myself in saran wrap soon. This NY weather has been really lousy.

However, my lawn and flowers look great!!!

[GreggFromJoisey]

NJ too! Its depressing. Where is the sun??? :(

[GuitarPLYR]

It's down here. It's been beautiful here for the last month. :D

[chinarain62]

The weather guy on GMA this AM said it was suppossed to get sunny this aft. We'll see....!

[mark]

We were teetering on drought conditions. Now the rain. April Showers in May brings June flowers. I'm glad to see some rain. The Lake I live on, biggest one in New Jersey, was 20 inches below normal.
And like L2S said, the lawn looks awesome now. Greener then Herman Munster!

[GreggFromJoisey]

parts of Route 287 were flooded this morning Mark on my commute in. Thankfully I left home early

[mark]

But its scattered heavy downpours. Wouldn't you know it pours the heaviest when I had to go from my car to the train, then slows after I board and I'm soaking wet for a 1 1/2 hour ride to work. YUCK!

[SHOELUVRSIS]

its suppose to be dry (dont think sunny) this weekend
i also heard its going to be one of those rainy NY summers :mad:

[sarcastic1]

I hope you're wrong about the rainy N.Y. summer. Besides the weatherman can't get the forecast right one or two days in advance, nevermind a month or two in advance. :rolleyes:

[Doorman]

PLEEEEEEEZE....I can't take it anymore!!!!
I'm movin' to Seattle if this is how it's gonna be.

Wrapped in saran wrap L2S?? Leftovers again??

[sarcastic1]

Ouch.........

[love2sing]

The sun has finally emerged!
And it's not even a Jewish holiday!!!

[love2sing]

PLEEEEEEEZE....I can't take it anymore!!!!
I'm movin' to Seattle if this is how it's gonna be.

Wrapped in saran wrap L2S?? Leftovers again??
Ira, can I see you in my office, for a minute?

[SHOELUVRSIS]

I hope you're wrong about the rainy N.Y. summer. Besides the weatherman can't get the forecast right one or two days in advance, nevermind a month or two in advance. :rolleyes:

it is literally impossible to predict the weather accurately past
48 hours - everything else is just a guess.

[love2sing]

It appears to be a beautiful day today! Enjoy!!!

[GreggFromJoisey]

Great today in NJ!!!

[SHOELUVRSIS]

havent been o/s yet but its looking real nice 2day! :)

[Doorman]

I was close to taking a "mental health day" today....
G-d knows I NEED ONE!
Even harder coming back from getting lunch.....
Enjoy the day all!

[love2sing]

SO funny you should say that. I was going to take one of those "mental health" days too, but I just was too conscientious to do it.
Well, someone pissed me off enough today that I feel that "mental health" day will be tomorrow. Making for a very nice 3 day weekend!!!

[love2sing]

Back to rain, AGAIN!!! I just feel so....bloated. :(

I was going to call in sick, but I just can't do it. Especially after the day at the office yesterday! Unfortunately one of my co-workers experienced a Grand Mal seizure and would you believe that an office full of Dr's didn't know what to do for her. They all panicked. Guess they never rotated through the ER during their residency. The nurses had the forsight to take over, while I dialed 911 immediately. Just one more incentive to find another job.

[GreggFromJoisey]

More rain in NJ today :( sorry to hear about your co-worker. That MUST HAVE been scary!

[mark]

Been like that for the last week. Rain then stop. Rain then stop. Rain then stop. Nothing steady. Over and over like 10 times a day. You can be standing in the sun looking down the street and its pouring over there. :confused:

[SHOELUVRSIS]

[love2sing]

It's never too hot for me!!! The less clothing I have to wear, the happier I am! I cooked dinner in my bathing suit Monday night!

[GreggFromJoisey]

And you didnt invite any of us???? :eek:

[JUKEBOX HERO]

[love2sing]

I do cook in the nude, but I'm not usually preparing food when I do it.

[GreggFromJoisey]

[love2sing]

I like mine with "whipped" cream, please!

[GreggFromJoisey]

[love2sing]

Depends on your idea of a spray cannister!

[SHOELUVRSIS]

[sarcastic1]

Thunder and lightning in Shirley now.

[love2sing]

I'm at school right now and it sounds pretty bad out there! AND I don't have an umbrella!!! Crap, crap, crap!!!

[GreggFromJoisey]

hon, i dont even own an umbrella! :eek:
i swear they shoulda named me raine!

[love2sing]

Okay! I don't know about anyone else, but I am sick of this rain! When I was a little girl I used to love to go out and run around in the rain, God only knows why, but now I'm just a tad bit tired of it.
My daughter tells me it's going to rain until Saturday. Someone said we are expecing a rainy summer and I think they may be right.

This is doing nothing to help me acquire tan lines!!! :mad:

[chinarain62]

Welcome to Hurricane Season!

[GreggFromJoisey]

Lately when I wake up and look out the window I feel like Dr. Frazier Crane
Hello Seattle! :mad:

[SHOELUVRSIS]

i dig the rain but hey guys summers 1st day is what the
21st 22nd of this month?
we can keep our fingers crossed!

[mark]

Frig the rain! Just had our 5th softball game of thge season rained out last night! :mad:

[GreggFromJoisey]

I saw an ark pass me this morning on Route 287 :p

[love2sing]

Pssssst! Don't tell anyone, but I think the sun is out! Maybe I can wear my opened toed sandals today without drowning my toes!!!

[chinarain62]

My eyes MUST be playing tricks one me because I think I actually see the sun today!

Happy Friday!

[love2sing]

It's been a beautiful weekend, but kinda chilly for June!

[GreggFromJoisey]

here comes the sun! dodododooooo :)

[love2sing]

I'm SO glad to see the sun again this morning! I love to have a lot of sunshine streaming through my house, so a good portion of my windows don't have blinds or shades on them, just curtains. So much for saving money on my energy bill......oops...I forgot that's a different thread!

[SHOELUVRSIS]

only chance of rain is weds - or so i heard............

[chinarain62]

I heard that too.....sp enjoy the weather today! It's gorgeous outside!

[SHOELUVRSIS]

beautiful Fathers Day - rains a comin though!

[love2sing]

According to weather.com it is sunny and 69 degrees here in Ronkonkoma!


69 is alright by me! ;)

[chinarain62]

Stix and I caved in yesterday with the window A/C's. We HAD to put up at least 2 out of the 4 for now. The humidity was wreaking havoc on my asthma!

[GreggFromJoisey]

better not rain tomorrow, going to Yankees at Philadelphia!

[love2sing]

better not rain tomorrow, going to Yankees at Philadelphia!
Looks like you got your wish and today was beautiful too!!!

[GreggFromJoisey]

Great weather at the game. About 75 and breezy. today supposed to storm in NJ though, and I'm flipping burgers at my kids' school carnival! :eek:

[chinarain62]

It's Thursday and the heat is back on! It looks like will be for at least the next 7 days!

The humidity and I don't get along - it makes my curls droop! :p

[GreggFromJoisey]

I dont like it either. Give me football weather! Nice fall day!

[chinarain62]

I dont like it either. Give me football weather! Nice fall day!


I like it hot! But with NO humidity!

[SHOELUVRSIS]

humidity ****s!
(my hair is just straight and flat so i hate it all year,
but in humidity and rain its just straight and flat! ugh!)

[love2sing]

Well, get ready for more of it. I am already sweating my ass off! Haven't put the A/C's in yet. I guess I'll be doing that this weekend!

T-Storms today people!

[love2sing]

I cannot believe it's raining AGAIN!!! This is doing NOTHING for my hairstyle, I assure you! :o

[chinarain62]

I'm going to need to get goats for my lawn at this rate! StiX can't cut it if it keeps raining!!

[GreggFromJoisey]

I think I'm the only person in the world who doesnt like summer. I can't walk or ride bike in the humidity. AC bill is sky high. Give me March - May or Sept - Nov :mad:

[SHOELUVRSIS]

love the rain - this humidity gots ta go!
i keep the ac up just to take the humidity out of the air

[TPJM]

I think I'm the only person in the world who doesnt like summer. I can't walk or ride bike in the humidity. AC bill is sky high. Give me March - May or Sept - Nov :mad:

I hate summer too - always have. Hate the humidity, can't move without feeling clammy and no energy plus I have to cut down on beer as that makes me hotter.

You can always get warm when it's cold but vice versa is more tricky.

[GreggFromJoisey]

Exactly. Now I dont mind it as much during NON WORK hours but it just ain't good to get into the car at end of day in shirt and tie waiting for the AC to kick in. The way I see it, there's only one good time to sweat and that's not the time :D

[mark]

AC bill sky High? Not if you run central air. With gas prices the waty they are air conditioning is actually a bargain.

Just have to deal with the heat. When I use to work in midtown Manhatten I'd walk 12 blocks to the office carrying laptiop case and attache. Soaking wet from perspiration. Guard looked at me once and said, 'What did you just climb out of that fountain?'.

Damn! Were just starting the second 1/2 of our softball season. I hate it when my glasses fog and I have to take my cap off and air my head to clear them between each pitch.

[Sue]

You can always get warm when it's cold but vice versa is more tricky.

Getting warm is MUCH more fun! :D

[love2sing]

Warm and sunny is even better. Looks like it's going to be a nice day today and I think tomorrow as well. I'm heading for the beach tomorrow, if the weather is nice. I think showers for Sunday.

[love2sing]

Okay, so I'm coming home from school tonight and the hurricane like winds were outrageous. It blew sand in my eyes, figures, and I was looking around waiting for a house to fall on me. Which, I would have had no problem seeing as the lighting was illuminating the sky like fireworks on the 4th of July.
Drove home and did my best to avoid all the flying objects that the wind tossing into the streets. And then the rain came down. I couldn't see 2 inches in front of me.
Now it's all calm here. What a crazy storm!

[chinarain62]

This has been one crazy summer weatherwise :D

[SHOELUVRSIS]

this heat ****s the life right out of you!
i heard it stormin linda - glad your ok and didnt end up in oz! :eek:

[Don Wishon]

Haven't read every post in this thread, but it is time to chime in from Dallas:

As the scorching sun seeped through the trees Wednesday morning, sweat pooled on landscaper Tomas Aquayo’s brow.

Mr. Aquayo has about had it with the triple-digit heat, which was expected to grip North Texas for a ninth consecutive day. The National Weather Service predicted a Wednesday high of 105 degrees.

“I’m ready for it to go away,” Mr. Aquayo said, while working in the yard of a North Dallas home.

Unfortunately, nine days of 100-degree heat is nothing special in North Texas.

Recall the summer of 1980, when 69 days – 42 of them in a row – hit 100 degrees or more. Two of those were a record 113 degrees.

“This pales in comparison,” said Dave Martin, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service.

So far, 11 days in 2006 have reached the magic 100-degree number. The hottest day of the year was Tuesday, when 107 degrees was recorded at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, the region’s official recording station.

Meteorologists have blamed the heat on an upper-level ridge, and Mr. Martin said there is nothing predictable or cyclical about hot summers.

“It’s summertime. High pressure is sitting on us. That’s it,” he said. “Some summers are hotter than others. It goes up and then back down.”

The summer of 1998 was another hot one, with 56 days of 100-degree heat, 29 of them consecutive, Mr. Martin said. In 2000, 46 days of triple-digit heat were recorded.

On average, North Texans experience 100-degree heat about 16 days a year, arriving as early as March 9 and as late as Oct. 3.

At Park Cities Day School, supervisors have been keeping a close eye on the children, and mostly skipping afternoon play outdoors.

“If it’s over 93 degrees, we usually don’t go outside,” assistant director Tammy Davis said.

Sitting outside a coffee shop in Preston Center with his dog, Bruce Magers matched the torrid temperatures with a drink just as scalding.

“I don’t drink coffee to warm up,” he said. “It’s a morning ritual.”

And at another coffee shop, Sandra Kuoenen said she didn’t mind the heat.

“I sweat it out like everybody else does,” she said.

-----------------------------------

I presume Houston and New Orleans are no better, especially since you guys get more humidity...though 9 consecutive days over 100 does "beat you down".

My last electric bill was over $475...not good.

[GreggFromJoisey]

Today was much better in NJ "Only" 85!!! :D

[Don Wishon]

Anyone see the stories coming out of St. Louis...huge storms with 80+ mph winds Wednesday night...over 500,000 lose power. Another storm comes through again this afternoon just as power was starting to be restored. I have tried to reach my family the past couple of nights...finally spoke with my sister-in-law last night. My mother, a brother and a sister have all lost electricity since Wednesday night...not good when temperatures have been in the upper 90s.

[chinarain62]
