Weather Grumpage
 
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:

This is Seattle right?

PRBuzz 05-17-2011 03:04 PM

Just started the wood stove to take the damp, cold out of the house! This is mid-May right?

ProfessorM 05-17-2011 04:57 PM

Could be worse....could be Mississippi

It's gonna be a little better this weekend guys! I looked at my sunglasses in my car this morning longingly, it's been so long since I've had to wear them!

The Dad Fisherman 05-19-2011 11:04 AM

I just looked at the 10 day forecast and it had it Cloudy chance of rain for the next 9 out of 10 days :wall:

Backbeach Jake 05-19-2011 05:45 PM

I nicked one of my gills shaving this morning, bled like a bastage...

EricW 05-19-2011 06:15 PM

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.

sburnsey931 05-19-2011 08:40 PM

It's been so dark and gloomy I start squinting if it isn't raining

i can handle wet but not wet and raw...constantly
with no let up although it's good for planting

just getting over a brutal cold from working in it soggy

i ordered some frog toggs and once they arrive
it will suddenly be sunny :hs:

Saltheart 05-24-2011 12:37 PM

The 50 degree may days are getting to me. Now I have seen some cold days in May like one year on memorial day it was almost freezing. i can't remember a may where almost every day was in the 50's. So today i nice but overall , this spring has been unusually cold. OK , done Grumping. :)

Raven 05-24-2011 12:41 PM

it's too hot.... yay :happy: first to say it in 2011

ProfessorM 05-24-2011 07:55 PM

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

Raven 05-25-2011 05:56 AM

i am making many changes to accommodate Mr sunshine
with extended watering systems and ventilation
