Ha! You can have our weather, and be gone wit’cha. Seriously - we just got rid of that stuff. Sucks royally. On May 20th, the forecaster said that there were 20 days in May, and it’d rained 15 of them. And it was cold. Nasty.
Yesterday was sunny and 72. It was beautiful. I hear we’ll get thunder tonight, tho.
Wow, what a dumbass.
Shoot me. Just shoot me.
Perfect thread.
I’m going to Sweden in a few weeks, and I’ve got the forecasts for Stockholm and New Hampshire on my start page. Today’s low for Stockholm is higher than today’s high for New Hampshire.
We’re expecting houseguests for Memorial Day weekend, including two young children who will have been subjected to a very long car drive.
Just lovely.
But next Tuesday it’s supposed to be partly sunny!! So maybe, a week from now, we’ll get a little bit of sun between the rain. Then it’s going to start raining again.
I’m ruining all my nice work pants by having to wear them in the rain so much. Grrrr…
What is this “sun” you speak of?
Though April showers may come your way
They bring more showers that come in May!
So if it’s raining, have no regret—
Although you may be slightly damp right now,
You’ll soon be soaking wet.
So when you see clouds upon the hills
You soon will see crowds evolving gills!
So keep on list’ning for that bluebird
And hoping he’s not drowned
Whenever April showers come around!
5:00am
Tick tick tick tick tick
What’s that sound?
Tick tick tick tick tick
It’s the heater?!? The fookin’ heater?!? In late fookin’ May?!?
Tick tick tick tick tick
As I sit in bed thinking “A little global warming sounds pretty good right about now.”
Tick tick tick tick tick
AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!
Tick tick tick tick tick
You know, I’m actually not quite sure…it has something to do with “warm”, but I seem to have forgotten what that is, too :mad:
When I read this earlier, it said:
April Showers Bring… Snickers
We should all be so lucky.
I’ve been in St. Louis in August; you’re going from one extreme to another. Be prerpared for 90° weather, high humidity, and daily thunderstorms–after which the humidity becomes tolerable.
Good idea. If I’m going to have to put up with fucking rain in the fucking bay area in fucking California in fucking MAY…I may as well take advantage of the upside of it and go ski.
OTOH, it is finally sunny and mid 70’s here.
Another bay area denizen checking in. Yep, we’re enjoying our first week of nice weather this spring. Actually, it was in the high 70’s and a little humid here last weekend (which I enjoy), and it’s in the 80’s now. I think a Memorial Day picnic might be in our forecast.
tdn, must you blame the Bush administration for everything? It’s the oil and natural gas guys that are making out on this situation, not the Bu…
Oh, right.
Now is the time when I should start getting gas bills for $45, after a long winter of $300+ per month. Ain’t gonna happen. I’m guessing another $150 for May.
I don’t remember as cold and dreary a May as this since 1982, if I recall correctly. Providence is no bucket o’cheer at its best, and this is not its best. Garden plants that I started inside in March, expecting to plant them out by the first week in May, are puny and leggy for lack of sun. Folks in general are depressed and out of sorts. The corner package store has doubled its prices and is still doing a bang-up trade. Viagra is meaningless. I’m beginning to think of Winnipeg as a place where dreams come true.
The sun will return to New England; it always does, like the Biblical prodigal son. And it will cause third-degree burns in mere seconds.
I need a new bumper sticker: “Welcome to The Tribulation – Have a Nice Day!”
I’m thinking maybe Costa Rica…
This is absolutely insane. I’m sitting here shivering in a flannel nightgown, the furnace is running and my toes are numb. God, it’s almost June. Next week, all the local swimming pools will be open.
If April showers bring May flowers, what do May flowers bring?
Pilgrims!
Yuk, yuk, yuk.
Crap! It’s 43 degrees C here (110 F for you guys)… I would love some rain. Sweet cold rain. Man, just walking across the street is enough to give you sunburn.
It’s 43 degrees here, too. And I have rainburn.
It isn’t really raining rain, you know.
It’s reigning violence.
Or will be soon.
