how's the weather where you're at?

[Luke Hatley]

It's a breezy 73 degrees in Ohio today- would be great grass cutting weather, but a thunderstorm earlier in the day has made the grass too wet to mow. I got an early birthday present and I'm itching to get to use it- a brand new Toro with a 6.75 B &G engine, rear wheel drive and an electric starter (my bad hand hates pulling the cord!)

C'mon sun, dry out the yard...I wanna put my earphones and bandanna on and spend a couple of hours NOT listening to the kids. For cutting grass, nothing beats The Allman Bros., Stevie Ray Vaughn & Lynyrd Skynyrd.

The Left Coast checking in again.....

It's in the mid 80's today, light breeze, no clouds, very sunny, will cool off to low 60's tonight.

Tomorrow will be the same for the 4th of July BBQ.

The next day will be the same. So will the next day.

Northern California is on fire and burning up. That sucks.

Something like 60 houses have burned so far, over 1000 lightning strikes and almost as many fires.

It hit at least 30 C today - pushing 90 F - and has done so for 3-4 days now. While I know that is a cool day for many of you, for up here that is just HOT! We're not acclimatized to that temperature since it only gets that hot a few days a summer. The good part is that it always cools down at night - at least if you live where there isn't a lot of cement. While public buildings are usually air conditioned, I would say most older homes and not a real high percentage of the new ones have AC. It just isn't needed for more than a few days a year. Plus, a house that is well insulated to keep out the cold also keeps out a lot of the heat. Ours is older and not well insulated. However, I still prefer to live where it gets colder rather than hotter. You can always add more layers but there is a limit to how much you can take off!

Pushing 90 sounds pretty good to me. It's up 2 degrees now to -24F. Earlier they said the windchill was -54. I got to go out and shovel a snow bank right away this morning so the kids could get out of the yard and drive to school. I was pretty impressed when all the vehicles started, but when Jake tried to back up, his brakes were froze up tight. Yesterday when I tried to start the tractor, it went RrrRrRr click, click, click........... Guess I'll have to get those new batteries for it today.

Snow's really pretty..... on a postcard!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope everyone is staying warm.

[Rod and Denise Nikkel]

Well, we're sitting at -28 C (about -20 F) at the moment and I don't want to know about wind chill. Fortunately I have no where to go today so can just stay warm at home.

[dbusarow]

Warming up here. -9F was the high yesterday, -14 was the high Saturday. It was -14 when I fed the horses this morning. All the way up to -11 now.

Should be back to normal (mid 20s for the high) next week.

Currently 50 with off and on rain today. Need the moisture badly. I am glad it is in the liquid form. As far as the cold, been there, done that, live here now. The old joke around here is that we tied a set of Carharts and 5 buckle overshoes to the front of the truck. When we got to someplace where a local asked what they were, we stayed.

[Steve Brewer]
