Saturday: rain, followed by high winds and relentless storms with a good chance of severe thunderstorms. Batten down the hatches and expect the sports on TV to be frequently interrupted by strident beeping and earnest weater reporters.
Sunday: scattered thunderstorms, with intermitent tornados, hail, severe thunder and lightening. Good chance of basements flooding and frightened cats shitting in the dining room.
Monday: One hour of partly cloudiness followed by rain, clouds of cicadas, and infestations of radioactive squirrels.
Tuesday: The work week resumes with sunshine, gentle breezes, and highs in the mid-70s.
I had one magical Memorial day when I was about 16. Beautiful weather. We
played some softball, horsed around… then our group of young happy people did a mass skinny-dip in the Corporate fountain next to the park. The guard came-a-chasing, but not all that fast as I recall.
Anyway, long story short: I always pay attention to weather on this weekend, and ever since then it’s been bad.
You must live near me. Today’s pretty nice, in the mid-70s, with a nice cool breeze, but Sunday and Monday we’re expecting rain. Tuesday is supposed to be nice again. :rolleyes:
And the damned cicadas are still at it. Damn, those fuckers are noisy! And the freaking dog keeps eating them, and then barfing them back up. She’ll never learn.
Er… actually, I live in Minneapolis. It’s been raining all day, and will do so all weekend. I’m on vacation, headed up north, and while the Twin Cities will dry out on Tuesday, the rain seems to be ready to follow me and Skutirette up to the north shore.
Freakiest. Noise. Ever. I keep looking for the flying saucer hovering over the treetops.

Why are dogs so dumb about that in particular? My dad’s dog did the same thing with frogs. How many times do they have to repeat the cycle of: (1) eat the frog/cicada/whatever, and (2) throw up, before they make the connection?

They are an abomination! They are the children of Lucifer! They are a cross between Rosemary’s baby and Celine Dion! And it’s all because they want sex, sex, sex! Like Tipper Gore, I blame it on heavy-metal music!
Isn’t it, though?!? Do you hear it come and go in waves? Sort of high-low-high-low? I’m so glad they only emerge every 17 years. If this happened every year, I’d go insane.
skutir, do you have cicadas up that far? I thought they were pretty much a Mid-Atlantic phenomenon.
Old joke: What comes after two rainy days in Baltimore? Monday.
Todays forecast for central Vermont, highs in the low 90’s with a 90% chance of a severe blizzard, up to 3 feet of snow, and hail, cats and dogs, low lying areas may experience tornado activity
I was in Boise, ID yesterday, and as I was waiting for the plane to take off, it started snowing.
Now that storm is moving into Colorado, and it is raining here. Falling temps and rain the rest of today, into the 30’s tonight. The campers must be enjoying the hell out of this weekend. I’m sure it is snowing in the mountains.
Ha! That’s what you get for legalizing those same-sex civil unions. Just be glad you didn’t call it marriage or you’d get frogs, drought and a 70% chance of a Passover.
I’m surprised that Phred Phelps hasn’t said something yet, claiming all this bad weather is due to God’s wrath 'cause we allow homosexuals to exist. After all, he said the same thing about the space shuttle Columbia and Mr. Rodgers. :rolleyes:
