It's late May isn't it? It's the start of the Memorial Day weekend, right? And we're in the northern hemisphere aren't we?
Then why did I have to use 4WD to get home, through my subdivision and around town at noon today? And why do the passes on I-80, I-50 and all other passes in the area have chain controls and are forecast not to get above freezing today?
And just to confound everything, it's supposed to reach 80 by Sunday (day after tomorrow) and in the 90's by next weekend. |

Here in NE Ohio we're baking already. Memorial Day weekend is traditionally when I plant all our flowers for the season (or at least most of them), but I don't know this time around. I'm gonna have to get out there at 4 a.m. to beat the heat, it looks like! |

Oh come on now.
It's supposed to be Hazy, Hot and Humid down where with temps in the nineties yet we still have to break the eighties yet, but the rain is here with a tropical storm already and another possible one forming and it's not even Hurricane season yet!
I'm expecting snow any day. |

Well I am just over the hill from you Rus and was mowing the grass around the house in West Point when suddenly it started HAILING! Then turned to rain and was like that for an hour or two, then cleared up enough for me to finish mowing the two acres plus. |

Send any excess rain my way, please!
We're in the 90s with pretty good winds that dry everything out, and no serious rain in sight. :(
I just don't want to see another drought like last summer. |

Started snowing around 10:30am and continued until 2:00pm or so. Sometimes quite heavy. Never got out of the 40's at my house. Supposed to get close to freezing overnight (so much for my peach crop) and all the way up to the low 50's tomorrow (average right now is supposed to be 75). I actually had to turn the heat back on this morning. |

I'm blowing it your way as hard as I can. Getting a little dizzy (or dizzier than normal, according to hubby and kids).
We are being drenched, wind blowing, thunder, lightening and rain, rain, rain. And it's been rainier than normal for yet another spring (rolls eyes to heaven). The past three springs and summers here have been cooler and wetter than what they should be and what we'd like! Plus it gives the farmers here a hard time! And we're all tired of being pasty white---LOL. Not attractive for those two days a summer when we can wear a tank top!
Send your heat and sunshine our way, Sari, puh-leeeze!! ;-) Let's swap weather! |

Most of the ski resorts had to close early because it got too warm too fast here. |

Nah up here in Colorado ;) I can't remember if they closed a couple of weeks early or a month or so early. No snow and heat makes for no skiing. |

How nice to be in Colorado!! We were at Denver airport for a few hours last week....so close. No snow for you all is really bad for local economy! All those Colorado and Tahoe skiiers had a boring winter---LOL. |

We're out in Falcon just east of Colorado Springs. We've been in the area for over 11 years now and out here for nearly 7.
We're supposed to get hella winds tomorrow and I'm not looking forward to it. I'm gonna be on idiot watch tomorrow. We're still pretty dry and the rain we've gotten hasn't amounted to much. The grass is still really crunchy. |
