[QUOTE=Omegaman] 70 to 80 down here. Bracing for the heat, I imagine it will come in a few more weeks. [/QUOTE] It’s already uncomfortably hot getting in your car at around 4 oclock if its parked outside. The heat is going to take me by surprise and piss me off again this year, just like always. ---

Over 22’ of snow so far this year, and yep, It’s snowing now. Mud season. There’s about 3 feet of snow still in the ‘yard’. In some places more. ---

[QUOTE=ivylass] Dude, you’re in _Alaska_.

[QUOTE=jtgain] This is the first thing I thought of. It would be like if it was August here in South Florida and I pitted that it was so hot and humid. [/QUOTE] You don’t understand: it was _over_, man - finally fucking OVER. It was in the mid 50s all week, no snow on the ground, things starting to bud, wearing short sleeved shirts to work. Yesterday’s forecast was for _occasional_ rain, mixed with snow. The city had mothballed the entire snow removal fleet for the summer. You know…spring? By noon, we had six inches. At 3:00 p.m. they shut down the job because it was coming down even harder and the temperature was at 32. When I got home, my bumper was plowing snow up my driveway. By six, there was over a foot on the ground. This morning, as I gaze out at the winter wonderland that can suck my dick, the roof on the place I can see has at least 18" or more on it, and it’s 29 degrees, which means that all that wet sloppy shit that couldn’t be plowed because of the mothballed fleet has frozen into oil-pan destroying, transmission-ripping windrows of solid ice. ---

[QUOTE=featherlou] Quoted for truth. I’m surprised the deaths from other people just snapping haven’t gone up in Calgary. We are supposed to get well above zero tomorrow, though. YAY!!!11!!! [/QUOTE] Well, it’s tomorrow, and it’s already a beautiful day outside. Snow will melt today, that’s for sure. It was a week of snow (over a foot, I think), and cold here in Alberta. During the past week, I drove between Calgary and Edmonton twice, and saw more serious accidents than I ever have before on that road. I cleared the snow from the front walk more than I did the entire rest of the winter. I had to take my parka and other winter gear out again. I’ve had it. But today? Ooh, look! Bare ground! 🙂 ---

Yeah **Chefguy** , and I grinned at my daughter’s photos of the blizzard in Anchorage yesterday. Guess what’s all over the place here and coming down hard now? Uh huh, we are in whiteout conditions, and my flower beds, which were coming along nicely, are covered in white stuff more than two inches already. Yee-fricken-haw. ---

It’s been snowing every other day or so here in Utah until this week. It snowed on Wednesday, but it’s supposed to be clear and sunny with temperatures in the 50s for the weekend and the beginning of next week. I am really fucking tired of the snow. I _don’t_ live in Alaska or Canada, and I don’t think it’s unreasonable for spring to start in April. At this rate, we’re not even going to get a spring. It’ll just keep snowing through May and then summer will arrive. I miss Los Angeles. I miss it soooooooooo much. ---

It’s been really, really warm here in Hawaii due to the fact tradewinds have been very light the last few days. Uncomfortably warm. Hot and stuffy nights at around 85 degrees warm. And the vog (no that’s not a typo) coming over from the Big Island’s newest eruptions isn’t bloody helping! > **[Vog](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vog)** > > Vog is a form of air pollution that results when sulfur dioxide and other gases and particles emitted by an erupting volcano react with oxygen and moisture in the presence of sunlight. The word is a portmanteau of the words "volcanic" and "smog". The term is in common use in the Hawaiian islands, where the Kīlauea volcano, on the Island of Hawaiʻi (the "Big Island"), erupted continuously between 1983 and 2018. Based in June 2008 measurements, Kīlauea emits 2,000–4,000 tons of sulfur dioxide Vog i... Thankfully I haven’t gotten any adverse health effects from it. At least not yet. They’re saying the tradewinds might come back today and help out. Might. Damn you tradewinds, come back. The still heat sucks. ---
