This weathers crazy!

After having the warmest winter in history (while my Cutlass was in storage), these dang weather people around here just said "I hope you enjoyed the sun today. It's the last time you are going to see it for weeks."

I just pulled her out of storage a few weeks ago and have only been able to cruise twice with the top down. Now they are saying we'll be lucky to hit 60 with clouds and rain for the next 10 days plus.

That's a bummer.

Last month the Coffee and Cars was pretty slow in OKC because of foul weather. This weekend it's supposed to be fair.

I suppose it could be worse. My oldest is in grad school out in St. Louis. Luckily, his school and apartment are on a hill. He says that just about everything else is under water.

I hear ya! I think I drove mine more in February than I have the last two months combined. The farmers up here are thinking of planting rice It's been raining for 12 hours straight and looking forward to another 18 hours.

Last rain was Saturday evening through Tuesday evening.

I am getting tired of mowing 3-4 acres every 2-3 days.

Same in Long Island. Forget putting the top down. I had the heat on in the car coming home from a show last Sunday. This sunday's not looking too much better for the NYLI Olds Dust-Off but I'm going anyway, of course.

The mad scientists are working on controlling the weather and screwing everything up! We will soon be shoveling snow in July.

Chip, it looks like the weather we had last weekend is reaching you. Maybe you've heard of the flooding in eastern Missouri. I'm west of that and still dealt with five inches of rain and cool temps...for days. Most of the corn planted here, will need to be redone.
I can only suggest to try find stuff to do inside. At least I got caught up on the interior honey doos.

If its any consolation, the weather should be really nice for you..in about a week.

It's starting to get hot around here.

Phoenix hits 108 degrees, breaks record
The high temperature at Sky Harbor Airport reached 108 degrees by 4 p.m., Friday. That broke the record of 105 degrees set in 1989.


edit: The forecast for tomorrow is a high of 71. Wow, a 37 degree swing in two days. Crazy weather indeed.

The Global Warming crowd says that we should expect our weather patterns to change from what we got in the past.
