2. like, we are getting this cold air from Canada, eh
The weatherman is such a hoser, ya know. I had to unpack my toque and everything. The record for today is like 24 degrees, set in 1936, and we are expected to shatter, not break it, shatter it, going down, down, down to 17 degrees tonight - six degrees of separation from the record. Six!!!

4. We didn't even reach 24.
21 was the high for Friday. It's better than 97 with 100% humidity though.

10. When I was a teenager
my hometown in SD broke it's record for most consecutive days without going over 32. I think it was about 75 days or so. I wanted to go for 100, and it sucked too because it got to like 33 or 34 for about half an hour one day, and then it was solid cold, like 5 or 8 for the high for about two weeks. Two weeks that could have been added to the record! But I bet that record still stands. Not for Duluth though. Their record is like 112 consecutive days below zero or something. :scared:

3. A little better than your's!
35° with a windchill of 26°.

Although that doesn't sound so bad, it is when you know that it was 82° here last week! Then yesterday it snowed!

7. Gotta love midwest weather.
Oh well. I like it better than Atlanta weather though, hot, humid, too many tornadoes, and too many hurricanes.

11. Tornadoes are rare here,
Lake Superior is too close. It keeps the summer temps cool too, for the most part. Duluth is known as the air conditioned city for that reason.

14. I wish I could say the same.
I did learn something about tornados tonight, right here on DU. :rofl:

I used the spell check, as usual because I'm a bad typist, and it showed that tornados was wrong. I've always used that spelling as does my local paper. So I checked with Mr. Webster, he says both tornados & tornadoes is correct. Who knew? :shrug:

12. June is pretty much the last month it might snow here.
I like winter though. If we had another blizzard, I wouldn't be too upset.

13. It was 27 today in my neck of the Twin Cities....

It wouldn't feel so bad except we had that week or so, of warm, spring weather.

18. It's snowing like shit tonight here in NC!
All the trees are out, blooming shrubs, grass high enough to mow, and everything will get killed tomorrow night!! Don't count on peaches or apples or strawberries from the East Coast states either - they are all going to get killed as well.

Monday morning everything will look as if boiling water had been poured on it. Then it will turn black and fall off. You can't have a fucking thing!

:mad:

19. 30-something degrees in Dallas tonight.
Edited on Sat Apr-07-07 04:30 AM by rainbow4321
Days=50's, nights=30's. So much for all those spring weather/Easter Sunday dresses that people have probably bought.

Have had a few local tornados this past week when the outgoing warm air collided with the incoming cold front.
