Yes it will be ugly until Tuesday. Should be a wet soggy weekend for a lot of people. ---

No kidding. I love the cold and all, but I got _drenched_ walking from the Port Authority to the east side. I have been in the office a half hour and I am still practically shivering. Ugly indeed. ---

Yup. I think my beach plans are a wash, too. Sorry. I had to say it. ---

I am soaked, and my shoes are all squishy (my galoshes filled with water after about one block). I don’t know why NYC _has_ a goddam “42nd Street shuttle” train if you have to walk all the way to the goddam Hudson River to pick it up! ---

Gee, I’m so sorry. It’s my day off here in Cleveland, and the weather is absolutely perfect…cool, sunny. Hope you all dry out soon. I have a blinding headache and am going back to bed. ---

It’s been GREAT!!! I only wish I lived further North. We’ve been getting a lot of rain and a break from the heat here as well. I absolutely adore it! I wish it did this every week. ---

I’m just glad we’ve finally got rain!! I think this is the first rain we’ve had since mid-July, maybe longer. This place has been dry as a bone. ---

Rain is GREAT! I can’t wait for the snow too. Hopefully it will be enough to shut everything down for quite a while. I would like the extra free time off of work. ---

It’s not 90 degrees, and we need the rain. I’m grateful for that. ---

Ugh, I thought this was just local, I didn’t know it was the whole frickin’ Northeast. Normally, I like rain, thunderstorms in particular. But today is just plain icky. It was drizzling when I woke up, raining drove down to Acton (and wasted an hour, dammit! 'Nother story, though). It was raining when I had to go over to my school for registration, it was still raining at 7:00 when I went out to drop off some film for developing. And it’s gonna last until **Tuesday**!? Ick. Just my luck. ---

I just bought a house and since this is the first year in over 20 that I’ll have to clear my own driveway, I’m expecting a lot of snow. Twice as much 'cause my drive is steep.
