Wondering if this warm season will be a repeat of last year. Way Too Wet.
Way too wet might help John and his volcano. I'm thinking hot and dry. Like drought dry, but I could be wrong.Quote:

Sorry about that, but minimal use of natural gasQuote:

Okay, I think I can talk about the warmth without putting the jinx on it. We'll be 71 today and 76 tomorrow. Back to reality after that.

I don;t envy you, that's fer sure. Hopefully things will cool down for you a bit. But I know that it won't be long before the weekly forecast around here looks like that + high humidity. I'll take the cool rainy weather we're having now over that kind of heat...Quote:

Well, SF is more in the middle than the other end but, regardless, should you by chance decide to take in the TJ donkey show or something and end up down here in the southwestern corner, let me know. I'm good on the Zed (heh heh heh).Quote:

Thank you. For some reason, I used to hang out with the West Coasters in College. And as far as the picture, Popsicles do that to me too...;)Quote:

Beautiful day today in the Ozarks. Temp in the FM band, gentle breezes.
Lots of clovers for some reason--big ones. Found 2 four-leafers so far. :)
Our kitties are almost 5 weeks old. The nursing must be 'getting old' for Mama,
yesterday she placed a headless rat in their basket. Today, 2 have climbed out,
but still hesitant to exit the toolshed. One or two have sampled the Kitty Chow.
Temps in the upper 30s in the mountains here this morning. It hits the 60s every day, but feels like 45-55 with the gusty winds. I hope it gets hot soon and stays there.

A majority of weather forecasting models indicate that an El Nino may develop around the middle of the year, but it was too early to assess its likely strength, the U.N. World Meteorological Organization said on April 15.
Dr Wenju Cai, a climate expert at Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, said rises in Pacific Ocean temperature above those seen in previous El Nino years and the quick movement of warm water eastwards had raised fears of a significant event.
"I think this event has lots of characteristics with a strong El Nino," said Cai.
"A strong El Nino appears early and we have seen this event over the last couple of months, which is unusual; the wind that has caused the warming is quite large and there is what we call the pre-conditioned effects, where you must have a lot of heat already in the system to have a big El Nino event."

FWIW, NOAA has upped the chances of an El Niņo condition developing to 60%. We've got a new roof going on in two weeks.
There, fixed it for you.Quote:

As long as I don;t have to be in the thick of it I'm okay. For me anything between 45 - 65 deg F is warm. Anything above 65 is HOT!!!Quote:
