OK - Summer's officially over....

We get lots of rain here, but it's mostly light stuff - just fairly consistant.
Been raining cats and dogs for most of the last 24hrs now....
Rained so hard it's knocked out my satellite reception (maybe moved the dish a bit...)
...and the roof's leaking again. Buckets in the hall and master.......

 

Ditto here on the rain... we didn't have much of a summer weatherwise here in Oregon this year. No spring, either!

 

The last week here has been wet and dismal also. Today it's rained and cleared up a dozen times since 5AM. The sun is out again, but who knows for how long.....think I'll take the boys for a drive.

 

We had record rainfall in Portland on Saturday. Almost an inch of rain in 24 hours with 0.95".
I know thats not much by some regional standards, but compared to our usual perpetual pissy drizzle, it was seriously dumping down yesterday evening.
*sigh* welcome to the next 9 months.

 

East Coast...

Awesome day yesterday...but today has overcast and misted all day. We are actually getting spin offs from Igor who is still over Bermuda...it's a biggy. Hopefully it want get any closer. But we will still have great weather days ahead. Will you guys really start your rainy season already?

 

Our rain season is clearly starting. I honestly don't look at out weather forcast that often because of how the wind patterns blow over the lower part of the island.

Our weather is...

Today as a example....don't like the weather wait 10 minutes, then wait again, and again, and again...

Even the local area can have salt and pepper different weather. When I was working I can't count the times, leave for work it's clear and sunny then 20 miutes away it pours rain all day just to go home at the end of the day and your back into sunshine and completly dry drive way and grass....and visa versa. But when mother nature wants to punish us as a whole, she does'nt hold back.

Even before Krash started this thread I knew winter is here....We're going through alot more towels in the wash and starting to get to that point of....the kitchen floor gets washed every day but because of the dogs it's always dirty!:banghead3:



You take care on your pond fannie, your side is ketting a kicking.

 

I love this time of year

Honestly

I'm one of those early to bed and very early to rise kind of people and I really don't like going to bed when the sun is up. Now I can head off to bed without guilt and other than a very short time of the year it is usually dark when I wake up anyway.

And the colors in the trees as they turn, not having to mow the lawn every three days,

Yep, this is good.

Okay, I'm ducking now - if you are going to throw something, make it parts I can either use or resell........and no aiming either.....

 

Me too. Not to hot, cool at night for sleeping, Colors, clean, crisp air...

 

You coastal folks have evergreens. Our trees go bald and often green, because the leaves freeze-dry.

 

There's trees in Winterpeg?

 

Smartie!

Ottawa and Toronto competed for years as to who had the most trees within their City's Forest Management (not including Provincial or Federal parks). Nobody thought about Winterpeg.

You'd think Toronto would, but they built paradise in a ppparking lot. You'd think Ottawa with all the flowers and parkways. Well even with Ottawa's Federal and Provincial parkways and parks and unmanaged City forests (golf courses), WE BEAT THEM X TWO! Together - both cities together don't have half the White Elm, poplar and oak and ash trees that we do. But not much colourful autumns like Toronto and Ottawa and all of eastern Canada gets.

 

im with ya SAF...i like the change of seasons...makes you appreciate each one...and 2 weeks ago was too freekin hot anyhoo

sort of....


Fannie....youve fit in waaaay tooo fast

 

ACTUALLY THAT'S A LITTLE FRIGHTENING... but thank you:confused:

 

Woohoo! It's finally getting nice enough outside to work on the car during the day! So glad that winter is rolling in-we can enjoy weather in the 70s now instead of broiling!

 

Palmspringsolds, I can remember ah couple winterz that required tire chains to get from Redlands to your placeAnd many times when the wind kicked up so bad comin' over the Banning Hump and down thru' "the Springs" it'd take the paint off the carz and etch the glass:banghead3: Why yeah think they got all them propellerz stuck in the ground out there now
