Thread: Hows's the weather

They call it weather because no matter how it is. wea there.

Ive gotta go take a hot shower! Its chilly here. T-storms expected. 68F. cloudy.

It has been in triple didgits here and raining. I think my VOODOO dance
may have sent the rain back to the parot heads where it belongs.
NOT nornal at all. I think the whole world is having freek weather.

It's too hot to dance.
I say just being able to throw the Shaman another chicken should do it, though. It will probably end up in his lap already cooked!
(It is almost lunchtime, isn't it?)

We're still suffering our heat wave here - but not for much longer! It's forecast to break when I go on holiday - and guess what? Will warm up when I get back to work again!

I must have upset the big guy!

It's always warm where the sun shines, and dreary when the sunshine goes away.
(did you get ***** upset?) lol

LOL I know in Vodaland ***** is a god, but I wasn't aware he controlled the weather when I go on holiday!

I'll bet it's not to hot to take a picture of your dragon and send it to me for my gallery.

We don't get them until the 6th August - I'll do that then! Cheers!

Wow! I logged on to say I'm sitting here with the mother of electrical storms rumbling in the distance! And what do I find but this thread. There is constant rumbling and the flashing of light and it's getting closer and closer, this is amazing! Going to get the camera.

Bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where abouts are you? The skies got a bit dark, but we didn't get a single flash or lightning or drop of rain here! Feeling disappointed! I love a good storm!

Hi Limebrook

I'm in Southampton, it was good! The lightening was going sideways got some good bits of video to show the kids because you know what kids are, they sleep through anything!

Hey I'm a Captian now, where's them mysterons!
Oh Alien will have to do

Congratulations Captain! I'm jealous of your storm! Has it cleared the air at all? Still pretty muggy here today!

It has cleared the air Trish! Feels fantastic today, a bit cloudy but that makes a change form the sun. I'm about to hit the technical forums, wish me luck!

87 F today and muggy/humid, the weekend promises to be 92-94F !

Bout the same here then Bill - 31c - not sure what that is in fahrenheit! Hot and sticky, with weather warnings of thunder, rain, hail - you name it!

All of these weather conditions you talk about.. I kid you not.. We have them all in one day.. My air cooler and gas heater bills are almost the same amounts every month all year round..

About the same, the formula is 92F -32 X 5 / 9 = 33C

or better yet F - 32 divided by half = +/- 30

The UK is centigrade, liters and miles, right ?

ez-ez:

So I'd guess when someone complains about the weather you tell them, if you don't like it stick around it will change. LOL

Bill2006:

I think we should all use the Kelvin scale.; 273+C=K it makes us all closer and much hotter. LOL

I hate Summer. I just want to go into my ac'ed bedroom and hibernate untill this all ends, LOL I am a webfoot..(Oregonian). I NEED rain. giggle

LOL Centigrrade I have to live with as it's all thats on the weather forecasts nowadays - I still measure in feet and inches though, and cook using good old fashioned ounces, weight myself in stones and pounds, and drink in pints (well, perhaps not too many of those!). Funnily enough my 12 year old is bi-lingual in that sense - or he has to be around me!

limebrook1:
I thought stones was what you got from drinking too many pints. LOL
I was told by an Irish friend that the English monatary system was made so complicated so the merchants could cheet the Irish

Lol, I can't add 3 digit numbers, especially after too many pints. Highschool physics, ugh.

well If any one saved any of that heat we had last summer please email it to me.
Oh yea, Trish I have as yet to recieve photos of the hooded dragons. guess I'll need to steal them from your site.

CP! You're in CA, I thought you'd had your 'cold' spell a couple of weeks back? My friend in So Cal tells me it's in the mid 70's this week! That's barbecue weather over here! Lol

We awoke to a ground frost this morning but it is another beautiful day full of bright sunshine and blue skies. Quite warm in the sun, too.

Last week, it was cold, the week before, colder. Today not so bad, mild out with a little snow down. One day -19, that was Ccccoooollllddd.

-19??? That's way too cold for me. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Lol Your heating bills must be astronomical, CL!

Good Grief, I can't even imagine what that must be like.. We have a nice crispy 63 here today..

Here in Colorado this last week averaging around 0 to 5 degrees. Yesterday..we had a heat wave...got up to 25 degrees. Today we may get up to Freezing!!! I get to shed the coats today!! Yea!!

-19 Robyn??? Oh my, time to head to the South if you ask me!! That is coooollllllddddd.....

Yeh it was cold on that day, the house didn't warm up and my jeep didn't want to start, but she went, lol........I don't have oil heat, I have electrical heat. I do the budget thing because one month can be over $700.00 for my power and heat, and that's just not in the budget........so they spread it over the months and I have a set rate. Approximately $2500.00 for the year for power & heat, so that works for me. I pay around $200.00 per month every month. You guys have all this nice summery weather, we don't see too much of that. Usually July, August, sometimes we have good weather in May & June, September is a beautiful month to be here, not too hot, not too cold and the leaves are so pretty. If you visit, this is the month to come to Canada. That's my opinion anyway. Other people may say differently.

CP - have I missed something? Did you want a pic of my dragons? Let me know what you want and I'll send them. Don't try and steal them from my site as all my sites have very clever technology and the PC of anyone who steals them will melt. Yup, melt. Total meltdown.

Oh, well, worth a try. Knew no one would believe it (but boy wouldn't that be good?) Go ahead and take what you want - everyone else does! LOL

Thanks for the info on best time to Visit! I would not know that and since I've never been to Canada I would love to go sometime soon. September is a great month to travel to, since kids are back in school!! We have gas heat here and our monthly gas bills run around $80/month. Of course, hubby keeps the thermostat set at 58, so we wear coats and sweaters alot, inside the house!! I am so looking forward to Spring and Summer!!

$80.00/month for gas ... you are referring to your vehicle to just do a few laps weekly right?? You surely cannot be referring to heating your house?? Are you Cindy??

Hi, LE!

Yeppers, she's talking about heating the house. Lol Ours works out at about $100 pcm for gas and electricity. That would be gas central heating and cooker with electricity for everything else including the shower. For a single person you might be able to knock $20 off that. I am tight with my heating though. Lol That's US$ equivalents of UK£.

Hey Amanda

Wow, I guess you'll be surprised to hear what my heating here at my house is ... you will no doubt fall off your chair .... I will have three back to back power bills ranging from $850.00 to $1100.00 - my bill on an annual basis will be around $4500.00 - hmmmm ...... my other three bills will come in around $300 - $450.00 each ....

good god!

Paying for imported fuel oil, are you?

I agree with you DL, September is a good month for travel.....it's nice in Canada if you like wilderness, not so much in the cities, but definately outside the cities. Lots of nice RV parks. You have a nice heating bill, wanna trade.........err I know you won't, thought I'd ask anyway.

lol Bill........we export more than we import, but our prices are regulated by NY stock exchange. We produce it but don't refine it.

In the summertime, (traveling time) our gas for our vehicles rises from .77 to $1.30 a litre all within a four month period.........strange eh? (I may be off a few cents)

It starts rising the first long weekend in May, then continues to rise until Labor Day Weekend, where as you almost can't afford to go for a drive.

Just wanted to make this post clearer:

We export more than we import, but our prices are regulated by NY stock exchange. We produce it but don't refine it.

Canada does have refineries, not enough for all the oil produced.

Anyhow, fuel prices are high no matter what.......and it's cold out. lol

lol CL .... I can't see the difference ... did you mean you produce but you don't refine ..... lmao ....

It's not even oil for me, I don't use the stuff, well a little bit with my salads the odd time when my vinegar needs taming, lol .... I am talking about Power .... the Electric stuff .... yeah that is what my bill is all about.

Now if anyone really feels that bad, well you know what you can do .... buy me more wooly socks. .... lmao ....

Nah not me period, just too much money being spent.......sore spot when it comes to this and taxes in Canada. Still cold out, today -21, so there's some more money coming out of your pocket.

Oh is that all it is out there today, you must be forgetting the windchill factor ... this weather really needs to break or we won't get 100 cm of snow all at once and be snowed in for 8 days ....

hmmm ... which do u prefer? lol ........ I'll take the socks, please ... lol

I'll take Cindy's power bill, and throw in the RV too, socks won't do it, more like layers of blankets.......I could always put on the polar bear costume. lol

Haven't needed the heater for the last few days. Finally daytime highs back to the 80's Like it should be.

Its currently -1 degrees outside in lovely England lol. Looking outside, everything is covered in frost. My butt is staying the hell indoors!

Teri

wow and I complain when the low drops below 50 It's no wonder many homes here don't have heaters.

^ hahaha. You should come over to England to feel this thing we call bloody cold!! lol

Teri

After reading what our friends in Canada have to put up with I'd say -1 is pretty mild! Lol I'll never complain about the cold again.

lol Thats true..

Ahhh, Amanda ... we're just at the tip of the "iceberg" you know ... lol ...

And it's not getting any warmer ... actually, it is supposed to begin to warm up by Saturday .... yippee ... hope it stays warm next week too!
I'll be outside for about 8 hours or so for the first of the week and I don't want my eyelashes to freeze ... lol

Hey guys how about sending some of that weather my way we're in a drought I have to pay to have water put in my tanks and when it does look like its going to rain it blows over Pleaseeeeeeeee can we have some.

Barb

Where are you Barb?

Sorry Liz I'm from Echuca Australia in the state of Victoria right on the border of New South Wales.

Barb

We complain here in Vegas when it drops below 40 - you can tell the locals from the tourists - we are all bundled up and they are walking around in shorts and t-shirts.
Our summers kill us bill wise - have 2 big central air conditioners that run 24/7 during the summer - $400/500 not unusual. You can only take so much off - but then IT IS DRY HEAT! yeah sure!
last few days have been in high 60 to low 70s very nice and no wind

asirimarco:

Well we finally got the rain everyone has been crying for, about an inch. This means you should have some lightning storms tonight.

sure hope so - everything is dry and ugly.

We finally got a few days of good rain up here. It was that fine spring rain, too, not that horrible horizontal stuff!!

we have had tempertures in the negatives degress f recently because of artic brezzes. We have had 2 cold days in a row and much much snow.

CL and LE: Our winter utility bill for Gas (Heat), Electric, Water and Sewer, averages around $120 a month. Of that about $80 is for the Gas Heat. In the summer our total utility bills runs about $90 per month. The Gas drops to about nothing, but the water jumps to about $60 of that. After seeing what you are paying...omg...and here I thought our bills were high! LE...do you live in a Mansion? Our house is only 1800 sqft..a small tri-level. We don't even have weather proof windows. We were going to get some this winter, but they wanted $18,000. We figured it out and found it would take us almost 20 years to get our money back to make it worthwhile. Forget that! Can't complain right now...the weather here this last week has been beautiful up in the 30 to 50 range. Nice after having that cold spell around Christmas. All of our snow is almost all gone now! Spring is around the corner!! yippee!!

lol Cindy ... yeah the electricity is very very pricy here, I have electric for my heat ... About $13.00/day for heat and lights ... now that includes the taxes on my bill, which with last months bill (we receive 6 a year, so they are for two months at a time) taxes were just under $120.00

No I do not live in a mansion, lol ... in fact there are very few of those around at all anyway, lol ... 2 levels, around 2100' - very normal .. a wood stove or pellet stove downstairs would definitely help, but then you have all of that to go along with it, mess, lighting, checking flu systems, etc., higher insurance, so blah .... and yeah there are things that I could potentially do that might reduce it by about $500/annually .. but blah blah blah again ... lol

And I heard on the news that New Brunswick, which is a bordering province is expected to take a large hike in their electricity, I can only imagine Nova Scotia will follow suit ... hmmmm .... oh goody ...

Well our spring will be here in another 2 or 3 months, we are expecting a storm this Thursday a true North Eastern, that's when the rain/sleet/snow comes down sideways.........batton down hatch time, they can be nasty and I'm told only the Maritimes......aren't we lucky? I just love it here...........lol

Thanks for that CL ... let's hope it is a bluff as these storms can go either way ... actually always lowers the heating bill if there is three feet of snow insulating the house outside .... maybe that is what we need instead of all this cold cold wind .....

Ah yes, that storm will hit us Wednesday morning, we will finally get our first snow of the year.

12in now last night.

Snow? Whats that? high 70's today low 80's tomorrow. Don't know about the rest of the world be we ( the US ) will have an early time change this year on March 11th. Time to spring forward and screw up all the auto time change programs in the computer. Just what we needed another Y2K.

We didn't end up with a big snowstorm, it rained and the wind blew all night, started around 4pm on Wednesday and didn't let up until the wee hours of the morning, power flickering on and off. They are building a new subdivision right behind my house so there has been blasting going on consistently which knocks my internet off the air.......anyways with all the digging going on, this morning when I went out to my jeep it looked liked I took it 4 wheel driving in the mud. Huge sign blew over at the begining of my street, pretty windy ol' night. No snow though.
