[Sigh]

2.2C (35F) outside and still raining. No snow to sea level at this time but a lot inland and on the foot hills. The back lawn is so wet I am in fear of letting Bella out for a 'whiz' in case she disappears up to her neck. I guess the summer drought is over.

Oh well. Off to the garage to work on the new foreend for the .310 Cadet.

Also the shortest day of the year for you and the longest day of the year for us.

The day will go by quick... ;) Also make sure you put Bella in a floatation vest in case it keeps on raining!

Yup, was 36 Wednesday morning when I threw a leg over to head into work. Even with ski gloves and a down jacket under my aerostitch it was brisk. Friggin Minnesota...

I'll trade you my 95*, 75+% humidity, sweat running down the crack of my butt weather for your cold and wet ANYDAY my friend.
I hate the heat, I love the cool weather.

Supposed to have a week straight of 90+ weather starting on Sunday. Looks like long nights all week fixing air conditioners. I like fixing heaters that are inside better.

35F ain't cold yet. I feel it's cold when when it get to 10F . Above 30 and I am ok, over 75 and I start to melt. It was 80 + here today and that's opressive to me. Can't wait for July and August. :x

We had snow reported on Big Hole Pass last Thursday. Montana has always been a little fickle in the weather department. I hope it snows on the Rainbows in a couple of weeks.

I did a 10 acre patch of grass hay last week, in the 70's and 80's. Got it all hauled into the barn last friday eve before it started raining. It has rained every day since then and our highs have been in the low 60's. Weather man says it will be 70+ tomorrow and up in the low 80's for sunday, and back to 60's and rain until later next week. Hay vacation for me I guess until dryer weather hits. JW

We are getting down to 65 some days. Wait, that is the humidity....

Heck, our dew point some days is well into the 70s. It is muggy as all get out.

Even my bar of soap is rusting

It's only 97 here today. It got all the way down to 76 last night. This is the calm before the storm. Soon we will have 100+ days and 85 degree nights! From now on it's just a question of how many 100+ days we will string together and if we will set a new record!! :)

Currently around 90 here, bout 80% humidity. Good lord I hate summer. Days of high heat and high humidity. I've spent my lifetime working on my grandpa's farms or elbow deep inside a machine in some horrible factory, in the middle of summer.
I love winter. Relief.

It's a 100 degrees, wind blowing 20 to 30 mph and 1 fire south and 1 fire west smoking up the entire southern part of colorado.
I'd take a little winter time right now

My theory on cold weather;
I can put on more clothes. I can set something on fire.
I can't take off but so much.

Temp supposed to be in three digits starting tomorrow here in the Inland Empire. We don't have high humidity though. Matter of fact we hardly have any water at all.

I am at 4,000 ft elevation, located in the "hills" outside of Temecula, and it may get to 90. That is where the swamp cooler goes on. Beautiful today.
