The weather in southern Maryland is driving me nuts this year!
Saturday night - 60+ mph winds (lots of branches down, luckily no damage)
Sunday - cold and windy
Monday - afternoon rain
Tuesday - rain and snow (SNOW??)
etc...
etc...


I usually only do one car show a year (the rest are cruises) and that is the "Coming Out Car Show" (named as such because it is the 1st of the season in this area). Unlike many, I do not own a garage, so I have to rely on just a very good car cover during the warmer months, and a storage unit in the winter. This means that I have to do my car work outside.


I know that my cutlass is more a driver than a show car. But I do like to have her looking her best for the show, and this weather is denying me that chance.


Come on weather Gods!!! Just 2 good days of weather before Sunday, that's not too much to ask for is it?

We're already moving into summer temps. The official forecast for Wednesday is 97º but I suspect we will actually hit 100º. It's way too early for that.

Be thankful. In west Michigan we accumulated about 4" of snow on Saturday. By the end of Sunday it had melted, but tonight it might dip into the teens.

Had the car out for a brief ride around the neighborhood two weeks ago, now back into hibernation indefinitely! Feeling your pain!

ignachuck

Same here. Took the Super 88 out a few weeks ago. I thought all was well. Now the roads are all salt and the town just went by with the plows. 6 inches of new snow.

75 degrees yesterday (w/ rain) and it was snowing on my way to work this morning with a wind chill in the teens.


WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED??

Bfg

Its called global warming?????

Rustbucket2

Then, where is the warming part! I'm in Indiana and woke up to snow on the ground.

It's supposed to be in the mid 80's tomorrow here.

My442

Had 2 snow storms in a row in Boston, about 7" worth.

The temperature dropped to the teens last night too....unusual in New England this time of year.

Vacationing in Mesa this week and the weather is great. Back home in Edmonton there was snow Monday but everything is melted. Temp is back to 55F (13C).
I love Phoenix but all the toys are back home and I can't play with them.

Fun71

It's here in Phoenix. We must be sucking up all the heat from the rest of the country.

Koda

It's el nino!

ignachuck

Whatever it is, I'll take it. Now that we're done shoveling, we're looking at over an inch of rain tomorrow in New England.....

And a cars n coffee show on Saturday morning.

Our show is scheduled for this Sunday. I've been dodging weather fronts and figuring out how much time before the next storm so that I can go outside and get work done on my Cutlass.


Now they are calling for a rain snow mix on Saturday. If we get that storm and the organizers do not postpone to next weekend, I wont be going. My girl does NOT hit the roads if there is salt out there.

Professur

I saw some geese give up and head back south this morning. Did some great doughnuts in the snow too. Yeehaw.

lemoldsnut

80 degrees with the top down. I like this.

forecast for more of the same today.

Yes the 442 will be on the move again today

Jamesbo

You must have not gotten the memo Spring has been canceled

lshlsh2

Chip I fell your pain over here on the eastern shore. I am trying to sell plants in this mess. I figure in 2 weeks it will go from cold and windy to hot and humid. Spring will last at most 2 days this year.

chip-powell

Just got word from the show planners. It's a go for Sunday. Even though...


1. rain and snow showers forecast for Saturday.
2. At the 8:30am start time on Sunday, it's supposed to be 29 degrees.
3. Looking at the long range forecast, next Sunday 68 degrees and sunny.


The bad part is that I will be at the show anyway, no matter what the weather is. My 2 son's Boy Scout troop will be working the show gates, in addition to the set up and clean up afterwards, to raise money for summer camp. So, I will be there all day. I just have not decided if my Oldsmobile will be.

Railguy

I heard this morning that someone had found 30 mushrooms "morels" last sat. That's at least 3 weeks early. Yet here we are waiting on spring. In fall crops are harvested 2 or 3 weeks early even though winter didn't start till the end of Dec -beginning of jan.

Snowing huge flakes right now in central MI, 4/8/16

No end in sight.

I am ready for some hot weather to complain about.

Larry/car

Oh to be in the 90s. Currently it is snowing in Central Pa. I am signed up for for a 5K run next Saturday morning, hopefully a LOT warmer.

tangokilo

3 to 6 inches of snow and 21 degrees in SW Michigan this morning. I have a newly rebuilt motor I'm trying to break in for this season. I'm not sure I'm going to make it....

A 5K run??? You mean on purpose? Didn't you know that is why God created Oldsmobiles? When people ask me if I run, my response is always the same.


"Only when chased."

Chris J

85 and bright blue sky's here in Eastern Washington worked today but tomorrow the Olds is comin out

WHIPOLDS

Chip - 22 degrees here this morning.

Well I was still driving my cars around until January, that's when the first salt hit the streets. It's payback for a mild winter, but I still think it's strange to see snow on the ground this morning.

Rustbucket2

same thing here in Indiana , snow on the cars , this morning

ignachuck

Fabulous here in Central Mass for a change- got in two days of hour plus drives. The local ice cream stand opened on Saturday.

Opening Day at Fenway tomorrow.

I think we had the shortest summer ever, and it is autumn already.
