Anyone else besides me had with the weather lately?
We've had a few nice days here and there, but overall looking at online data we are running 5 to 10 degrees below the avg high almost every day and it doesn't look to great at the moment for the near future. The next couple of days may be nice but it isn't looking good Sun-Tue of next week at the moment. According to channel 7 looks like 57,53 and 51 and rainy. Today was awful. I work in boston and it was cold wet and super windy. I literally almost got blown off the sidewalk Every week I think to myself" I hope next week will be good...maybe it will finally warm up....." but it just doesn't seem to come. Weather.com has a slightly better picture but still not great.
enough ranting :fury::fury::fury::fury::fury::fury:

Raven, you might appreciate this.....I grabbed a plot over at the community gardens in town to do a Vegetable Garden. I spent the last week getting everything ready, turning and prepping the soil. Last Saturday I planted my stuff, went over and hooked up the hose and went to give it a watering....they haven't turned the water on yet at the garden...DOH!!! :wall:.....so I'm happy its raining right now....the other option has had me playing Gunga Din and Lugging jugs of water in to water everything.

Keep on Raining....at least until the water gets turned on. :hihi:

We just had the first five day stretch since november without precipitation. We need a month though so Champlain goes down.

i have to go watering......too but :point: every inch of me ACHES .... because the guy i just bought a second troybuilt tiller from had just got over a nasty flu bug!

which eventually took hold in me.... (took 4 days) i realized it yesterday when waves of tingles were rushing thru my body accompanied by chills...... then i'm hot.... then i'm freezin... :hs:

so, i could use some sunshine! but, i'm glad it's raining or cool out.

i had planned to go fishing instead of sleeping this all away. :wall:

On the sunglasses......
Ive actually used mine a
lot lately. I have a pair of lighter polarized
Glasses and you can really see better with them in the rain on the
highway.

I have fished from the tin boat 4 times so far and I have never been able to see more than a 100 yards yet. 2 times i fished for hours in 30 foot sight, cold and wet too. Cape Cloud. Please pay the bill so the sun gets turned on again

Looks like the same old same old for the last few years,
winter, no spring right into hot summer, best weather in the
fall.

Dude don't come here to KC.

Glad you weren't in the tornado shelter with everyone today! Tornadoes supposedly touched down on 137th and Metcalf, and 435 and state line rd. Scary stuff
