Ditto Joanne's post from the weekend- the weather is beautiful here in North Texas again today and should be for the rest of the week
If you're in the Northeast, it should be headed your way soon!
We had record-breaking temp. for this date in Boston today. Mid-70s. Gonna stay in the 50s overnight.
It's a balmy 81 degrees here. It is supposed to go down to the 40s at night in a few days.
Hello, Misti.
Hope your perfect weather has lingered. Sounds delightful.
Here in Oz we are in the middle of something like the 6th year of drought, as margo mentioned earlier.... Today is expected to be a horror movie!: 35 degrees & hot blustery winds.
Everything is so dry. I feel like apologizing to my plants each time I (hand-held hose) water the garden. We now have water restrictions in the city, but parts of the country areas have had them for ages. And it's only November! the hottest months of the year are January/February. This summer is really going to be something!
But right now it feels very pleasant. I love the mornings of days like this - the coolness before the heat sets in. I have windows open to catch the morning breeze. It feels so peaceful, sitting here at my computer with my tuxedo cat sleeping on my lap. (Sigh)
I've really enjoyed reading about the places that you all call "home". Very interesting.
msloga, I'd be happy to send a little chill your way. A high here of -4 C and we have snow unseasonably early.
I'm from Blatham's general area, the Pacific NW... and yes, it is rainy and gray frequently, but we're getting some gorgeous days, too. Right now it's 53F and gray, but earlier today, the skies were blue and it was great for a walk.
I like to spend some time every winter in Arizona or New Mexico, because the grays do get to me after a while. I also love the snow. Last year we didn't get any all winter, but on the first day of Spring, we were hit with a 2-day snow storm. Wonderful!
We had the best sunset this evening.
It's not just the drought here - around Sydney we've got bushfires again, and the season has only just started. The hot, blustery winds are here with a vengeance. They make excellent bushfire weather. I dread to think what the summer will be like.
OK, I just came back from a walk. When I left the house it was sunny. In the five minutes it took to get to my walking spot, it was lightly raining. By the time I'd made my second circuit it was pouring, possibly hailing, but I could not see well enough through my fogged-up glasses to tell for sure, it just felt that way on my shoulders. Though I normally go for three or four circuits, I'd had enough and walked back to my car. In the short walk back to my car it quit raining and the sun came out.
Boy am I grumpy... and wet. Off to a hot bath. That's the PNW!
piff -
still "partly sunny" here in seattle, after early morning rain. always gets wet again just as you leave work though, doesn't it? 'tswhatitseemsliketome, anyway...
margo -
i marvel in horror at your bushfires down there. i grew up in the dry and hot foothills of the sierra nevada mountains in california, so wildfires were a fact of life, but the worst of what we got doesn't even hold a candle, so to speak, to the scale of what you folks get. good luck with all that. (still and all, though, i remember that i found the smoked-out orange sun mesmerizing when i was a kid.)
Fort Worth is beautiful today.
I unfortunatly have managed to catch a cold and was only out with my nose dripping, couphing, and sneezing to buy some cold remedies and tissues.
I commiserate with you, Joanne. I caught the worst summer cold of my life last August in Hawaii, of all places!! What the heck are cold germs doing in Hawaii?
It is 79 degrees now. It was sunny this morning, but now it is getting increasingly cloudy. There is a BIG storm coming tonight, and tomorrow the temp will be down to 47 in the morning!
Oh no MA the sniffles in paradise.
47f in Florida, y'all are going to freeze.
I really need to move from London. I just cannot take part in any weather thread, because it is always raining here....
And umbrella's do tend to hide all those lovely faces, and raincoats those lovely figures !
Gautam,I really DID move from London.To a colder place where the faces and figures are finer.
