How's your weather?

[Carla G.]

We are expecting our first summer weather today. It is 7 am and it is already 70 degrees. We is suppose to reach 88 today. That is hot for Lompoc California.

[Damaris E.]

Judy, send some of that over here!! We are at 45 degress. Spring has not sprung here!! And it is almost summer!! :roll: Damaris in windy Lyle, Washington

[Judith T.]

Hey, guys, it was 113 in Phoenix yesterday. We are having "an excessive heat" advisory. And it officially isn't even summer yet :roll: Judy in AZ staying inside

[Judith T.]

Well, I just spent the last bit going around the house and closing all the windows as the winds have shifted fromt the W / NW to S/ SE and that means we are going to heat up and the dust from the gravel trucks using our road for the interstate construction project will be a bit much to take. It is 10am and we are already at 72 in the shade and it was only 67 an hr ago. I'm thinking the local weather guys will be eating a bit of crow later, lol. They predicted a mild 80 degrees for today and they have been off by 5 degrees all week thus far, so guess I shouldn't expect anything different today. I just hope the storms stay west as they say, but will be prepared if the front moves closer than predicted.
Well, I better go find which closet my ambition is hiding in, I finally got all 60 of the curved blocks pinned and ready to sew last night and hopefully I can get in a groove at the machine and get them all finished.

TTFN & Happy Quilting

[Frances L.]

Well it's going to be hot again today in Austin. So what else is new? We've been above normal for almost the last month, record highs and last week we had a record high low. So I'll stay inside today with the A/C up and try to get my signature quilt done. We ushered last night and the molds drove my allergies crazy so I got to sleep really late, hard to get going. Ushering again tonight for Merle Haggard, going to be fun.

The seasons have sure been wacky this year. We had temps. in the high 90's this Spring and now that we are even closer to summer it has been around 60. No telling where we will be next.

It is beautiful here in East Tennessee today. It is currently in the mid 70s and expected high is in the 80's. A cold front eased in yesterday to give us relief from 90's we have had the last several days. This time of year we should be in mid 80's so we are afraid to see what summer brings.

I just got back from a company picnic where we enjoyed the beautiful day.

[Sandy F.]

It should be about 85 degrees in Oklahoma City today. It is humid and there is a chance of storms. We have had our share of storms this season. The good news---my step-father got his wheat harvested without any hail damage! The bad news---Monday night the home of some good friends who live in our neighborhood was struck by lightning and burned down, a total loss! They have insurance, but it is still so sad. I helped them Tuesday afternoon for a while, going through the mess seeing what could be saved. Anyway, with all the rain we have gotten so far this year, the plants are very happy and it is beautiful.

I wish I knew :cry: I'm stuck in an office :roll:
my computer tells me it's 79 degrees and the sky is partly cloudy... but I'm getting out soon, and George has his first baseball game tonight so it should be great for that, not too hot! We had hot, hot, hot last week, this is much nicer!

But on this same vein, have we heard from anyone in the midwest flood areas? The devastation looks just terrible and I feel so much for these folks, but it seems that b/c it's been a longer-term disaster, it's getting much less media attention. We're ALL going to feel the results of this!!

[Sandy F.]

Florence you are too right about feeling the effects of the midwest flooding. I fear between the floods and the gas prices we americans are going to be in dire straights. Crime is going to be at an all time high. We as a nation have been spoiled far to long. By the way it is n't even 65degrees here in Franklinville NY. And it is gloomy overcast. YUK :mrgreen:

[Sandy F.]

It couldn't be nicer here in the mid-Atlantic - Maryland. Temps are in the mid 70's with breezes and no humidity. We got out and did some serious gardening yesterday. What a wonderful break from the usual three "H's" - heat, haze, humidity - of summer in MD. Saving a few pennies by turning off the A/C and opening up the house....love it!

From the flood zone in Cedar Rapids, IA - it's relatively nice at a balmy 80 degrees. The flood seems to receding. Most of the bridges that were once under are open including today, a major one that helps with the north/south route. WooHoo! On that happy note, there are hundreds of homes that have already been declared unsafe to enter. That means the occupants can't even enter to get the rest of their belongings. We are still waiting to see if 2 of our friends can get into their homes. They aren't listed yet on the master list yet. Our water restrictions have been lifted up another notch. We were on a drink only restriction, then lifted to being able to shower briefly/do essential laundry on odd/even days according to house number but today that was lifted too. We can't do the watering of lawns, washing of cars, etc. but just being able to shower normal (but effeciently) every day is AOK by me. Keep praying for the those who have lost everything.

Wow I miss Lompoc and the central California coast. I lived in Lompoc in 04-06 and loved it. Now I am here in hot, hot Texas where it has been in the 90's for a while now.

In the Oregon Cascade Mountains we have had weird & strange weather this year..... 300% of our annual snowfall, cold rain, etc. In May everyone prayed for warmer weather and it got up to 95 degrees, roasted all the new growth on the plants & trees, dried up blossems .... weird!! Then more rain and cold. We had our heat on until last week, it usually gets shut off in early May. I haven't heard anyone complain much lately. They feel it could be worse and besides they may get their wish like they did in May!! :P We are luckier than some states. Today it is in the low 70's, sunny and a little wind. I hope the weather gets better in the flooded areas.

Checking in from the southeast Wisconsin flood zone. We are finally getting back to almost normal. Interstate 94 has been closed westbound since last Friday but plans are in the works to route westbound onto the eastbound lanes around the flooded areas. Getting to and from work has been a bother because home is on the detour route. The past few days have been just beautiful with 70s during the day and down to the 50s at night. What a blessing the sun is. Gloria
