How's The Weather By You?

It was up close to 80 and humid the last few days, then all of a sudden it got only to 50 during the day and dropped to freezing at night for the last two days, strong winds blowing.

Once again Pennsylvania shows how messed-up it is ...

They are calling for up to 15cms of SNOW just north of us..
Definitely nothing for our area but it is still a bit on the cool side with night time temps dipping down way below the freezing mark..
Daytime temps are lovely in the upper teens (16c to 19c) with a slight breeze.....

The black flies are out so strong that you can actually see clouds of them..
The stagnant waters are covered with larva....
More to come along with those mosquitoes....
 

Steve, you sure are having a time of it with the weather:(

Are these the Black B****rds you're talking about? I generally don't see them until late July/August and thankfully very few of them. Folks that aren't familiar with these flies, take a look at that stinger.

These S.O.B.'s will get onto a horse and just about drop the horse to its knees when they bite. There is not a fly spray in the world that keeps them off livestock and feeding garlic to the horse doesn't phase them either. They find their target by it's motion, seem to prefer darker colored animals and, a layd down in Louisiana has been bitten five times, so far this year, while trying to smack them off her horses.

If I can get them, I pull their wings off and just let them crawl around until they die. Gives me personal satisfaction for how they welt my horses up and make them bleed, plus they are too damn big for me to listen to them "squish" anyway.
 
Yikes! Those flies are nasty!

Cool here. (like totally...) Sure enough, late season low pressure, cold front making its way through. Brought swell and will create severe conditions in tornado alley as it head east...
 
It is May 27th and as I write this post it is -4c out..
I still have the heat on in the house and we still have the electric blanket on the bed......

Yes the days are quite pleasant at a balmy 18c to 20c and sunny, but the nights are still below freezing.. Too early to plant anything in the vegetable garden..


SPRING ??????
 
Steve, anything above 20c is fine with me. Sounds awfully cold there, otherwise.

Still a cool low 60'sF here and a slight chance of rain. It happens. One May about 10 years or so ago it literally poured cats and dogs all month. Then, we sometimes will get a thunder storm come in off the bay in summer. One July, people were killed by lightning trying to get off the beach. So rare an occurrence here on the west coast, nobody expects it.
 
Wow Steve, bet it's really beautiful up in your area. I know it drags on when you're waiting for Spring, but I guess I'll envy you when we have 90+ degrees and high humidity....:eek:
 
Anne..
We live in the real country.. We see on our property Black Bears, Deer, Grey Wolves, Coyote, Foxes, loads of Rabbits, Eagles galore, and many smaller animals such as Raccoons, Groundhogs, and Porcupines...
We have one of the best Musky fishing waters around not to mention Salmon and Walleye..
We have great nature walking and hiking trails..
We are in the "Canadian Shield" which means surrounded by very picturesque rock and mountains..
Very reasonable price wi$e to live up here.. Our $$$$$ (pension) goes much further..
So the temperature is a bit behind yours, but we eventually catch up..

What I like about our area is we can breath air that hasn't been breathed before.. Very clean !!!!!
 
Except for the ice cold temps, it sounds absolutely beautiful, Steve.

Here, pretty much like the last couple of "daze". Fog is in, 20% chance of rain and temps in the low 60s. They're callin' it rain but not even a drizzle or a spritz, actually. More like a couple of random drops...
 
Sunny and 16c here today and quite pleasant! Like Steve, I usually have the heat on in the evening. The warm weather is taking it's time this year. We have "no see ums" here and although small, bite like the big boys. Being on the ocean helps a lot with the flying creatures but they still come out in droves.
 
High of 86° today with thunderstorms predicted for this afternoon and evening and for the next two days. TWH..ticks seem to be very active this year, and I got chigger bites on my butt, from plopping my hinney down in the grass.:banghead: I'm not usually terribly affected by them, but my hubby, like yours is a chigger magnet, as well as mosquitoes. For some reason, mosquitoes don't bite me, but seem to love that Italian blood.
 
Fog is in but with high pressure setting up an off shore flow things will clear out and warm up nicely later. Noticed that the low bringing us rain earlier in the week moved into the Tornado Alley as expected and created a line of severe weather north to south. Small south swell moving in mixed with local wind swell.
 
Birds woke me up this morning - so much better than the sound of the alarm! Sunny and lovely here this morning. 18 C now but predicted to rise to 27 C, warmest day so far this year. Hope everyone in tornado alley is OK!!!!!!!!!
 
Saw that line of severe weather moving through the middle of the country. Worry about all the folks having to deal with that.

Things here are beautiful. High pressure with offshore flow warming up nicely. Swell still smallish local wind stuff. Wind out on the bay not too bad and saw some sailboats enjoying the day.
 
Rain, thunderstorms, more rain...about 4-5 inches since yesterday. The creek is rising and running like a white water river, but behaving itself nicely. Sorry to hear about the folks in OK and MS with more tornadoes, I can only imagine the stress. I guess we are expected to get more bad weather through tomorrow.

Only one brief power outage, using computers on batteries now (which are getting low), because we are at the end of the power line and get the most jolt in outages. I can't afford anymore fried computers. The electric company crews have been trimming branches away from power lines here for the past two weeks. We stopped them on our road and asked them to come down to our place, which they didn't know existed, but they still manage to get a bill to us every month. Hope all the trimming helps with the frequent outages.

And so, the roots of the old saying, "Nice weather if'n the creek don't rise . . . " Hope it continues to behave for you.

Honestly, not to brag, but the question is, "How's the weather by you?" and I'm just gonna say ... Nice.
 
I'm not brave enough to check the outside temp. Thermometer on sliding glass door says it is 106 on the sunporch. 78 in the house with the AC running full tilt. A little rain would be welcome, I just don't want to see any hurricanes heading this way.
 
Ozarkgal, hope you stay safe today and don't lose power. We got about 4+ inches of rain, also, and lots of lightning and LOUD thunder throughout the night; but today is humid, bu very nice, and sunny.

It's terrible that OK has gotten hit twice in just a couple of days....if I lived there, it would be time to move, for sure, if possible.
 
Thanks Anne...Sure not complaining about the rain...come August we'll probably be wishing for it. Not really even complaining about power outages. In light of what other are suffering through with the tornados, my weather is a cake walk right now.

By the way, cool signature:cool:... Never more apropos than right now.
 
Thanks, Ozarkgal; was hoping the siggy wouldn't get me in trouble, but had an inkling we all pretty much think in a similar way in that respect.....

You're so right; we have it wonderful; a bit much rain at once isn't anything compared to what some are going through now. Also, the past couple years have been so dry, we have to be thankful we're about out of the drought for awhile. My garden is still sitting in water, but it will recover with a day or so of sunshine. :)
 
Hot, hot, hot and not much of a breeze. Suppose it isn't as hot as you guys get it in the South, but holy cow, it is warm out there!!! Rain predicted for tonight and tomorrow, but that's what they said the last few days, and it didn't happen.

And.... you folks mentioned chiggers - educate me on what the heck is a chigger????
