    A few weeks ago, it was so hot I was walking round in shorts and t-shirts. It's June tomorrow, and it's so bloody cold I've just had to put on a jumper (sweater, across the pond ;) ).
    Never mind that we've had so much rain lately I'm checking out the Ark building instructions.
    Bloody weather. :ua:

    Yes, Georgia is turning into a prarie with the third (at least) year of drought. So much for the wet, sultry Southern summers. We had 90 degree temps in March, a hard 4 night freeze in April (destroying fruit blossoms and other delicate vegetation that shouldn't have bloomed in March) now back in the 90's. So, move to the coast where the ocean keeps the weather stable? Maybe 10 years ago.....they're all in a drought too. WTF? :unsure:

    Up in the low 90s, here (32s) and they have what they call a "Knozone action day" which means air quality is low.

    I don't normally feel it, but it kicked my ass, yesterday...damn near headed to the hospital. :unsure:

    Gawd! :shock: Those girls can sing, but those thunder-thighed big-berthas would need it to be raining men to ever get laid- those girls are so ugly they couldn't find love in a prison yard with a jet pack strapped to their backs! :soma:

    ^That rigidity infuriates me. One office I worked in always turned on the heat on October 1. Even if we were in the middle of an Indian summer. :bang:

    That's pretty much how it is with us. You can guarantee we'll be baking come September. :jayzus:

    It's pretty nice out today.

    Wish it'd rain or something.

    Extremely humid here the past few days - tremendous thunderstorm yesterday evening, and it sounds like another is on the way, though I'm still on my deck for the moment.

    The thunderstorm brought no relief! Now I'm pretty sure my contacts are fogging over. I have no idea what the actual humidity is, but on the feels like a fucking sauna 10 point scale, it's an 11.

    I remember that British weather. Left NC out of charlotte once and it was 94 degrees, got to London and it was 51 degrees and it was July. The weather has actually been pretty nice here, not much rain in the past few weeks but it gets up to the low-mid 80s during the day and drops off to the mid 50s at night.
