So DU, what's the weather like where you are?

[cwydro]

Here's mine

http://intellicast.com/National/Radar/OneKm.aspx?animate=true&location=USFL0244

[RebelOne]

1. Atlanta, GA metro area is 85 and sunny.

http://intellicast.com/National/Radar/OneKm.aspx?animate=true&location=USGA0028

[cwydro]

14. I spent some party time in Hotlanta

many years ago!

Little Five Points Pub!

[LSK]

2. your in Key West?

[cwydro]

5. yes

and it is a wet day for the first day of the hurricane season.

We do need the rain though.

[LSK]

34. ok, considering that is one of my dream places to live

What do you do for a living there?

[AggieGal]

3. Dallas is nice at 84.

[cwydro]

15. About the same temp here

but rainy.

[deucemagnet]

4. Have a look!

This webcam is about 2 or 3 miles away.

http://elkmtnarea.com/webcam.html

[cwydro]

7. Cool webcam...

looks like a nice area.

[deucemagnet]

13. I just realized that webcam shot is from a year ago!

D'oh! Oh, well. The weather is pretty much the same. I'm surprised there are any functioning webcams out here in the mountains, anyway.

[cwydro]

18. Well

I realized I had posted this morning's radar too late. Nothing has changed though.

Any critters ever walk by on that cam?

[deucemagnet]

21. I just found that link on Google about five minutes ago.

I imagine there would be lots of critters if it were still live, though. Spring was late, but there's all kinds of flora and fauna about now.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

6. nosey aren't we?

hot and humid. Partly cloudy. Chance of afternoon/early evening thunderstorm. Sunrise 5:27 Sunset 8:20 Record high 96,1895 Record low 44,1945

[cwydro]

8. How HOT is hot?

Hmmm?

Oh yeah, you did say you ladies were staying IN tonight.:evilgrin:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

10. we are staying in.

:P

[La Lioness Priyanka]

23. 87 degrees woman.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. My dear cwydro!

The weather here?

June gloom! The sun is trying to break through the overcast....

Highs will be in the 60's......a nice day, eventually......


:hi:

[cwydro]

11. The 60's

would be considered darn cold here.

Bet you're glad to be back huh?:hi:

While you were gone - whenever I didn't see you post for awhile, I imagined you haunting the streets of some east European town...looking...searching desperately for an internet cafe.;(

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. I am glad to be home!

It was a great trip....

I had internet access whenever we were in a hotel...

Our week on the little river boat was the only time I didn't have it...

And there was no time for desperate searches!

Silly girl! :hug:

[cwydro]

27. That is so cool the hotels all have it now.

Been awhile since I've been travelling, as you can tell. Did you take your laptop?

We're glad you're back too!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

28. It sure was cool!

And yes, I took my laptop...worked out perfectly!

I uploaded my pics every day, and stayed in touch with all you good folks!

Thanks for welcoming me home, sweetie...... :hug:

[Reverend_Smitty]

12. Hot as hell!

Accuweather has the temp listed as 85 but the feels like temp is 95

[cwydro]

16. Wow, I didn't realize it was that hot

up there already. I guess it is June, duh.

[Reverend_Smitty]

20. It's been like that the last couple of days

it shouldn't be though...the average temperatures around here this time of year should be in the mid 70's.

My aunt is a school teacher and the schools around here have no AC...I got a text message from her about an hour ago saying she is ready to kill herself...lol. I'm nice and cool in the air!

[deepthought42]

17. Maryland is hot today!

:evilgrin:


High of 84 for today, but man it feels like it's in the upper 80s...phew!

[cwydro]

22. It IS hot up there.

I thought we were the only one with those temps this time of year. Of course, we have those temps most anytime of year.

[deepthought42]

33. Nope, we've finally reached the hot and humid phase...

which will last until sometime in September...oy. I love summer, but the combo of heat and humidity is a bitch...lol

[BarenakedLady]

24. Warm and sunny

Good for my growing garden.

[cwydro]

35. How DOES your garden grow

m'lady?:hi:

[BarenakedLady]

53. With silver bells, and cockle shells

and little peas, lettuce, and spinach all in a row.

[Left Is Write]

25. Sunny and HOT.

[cwydro]

66. I don't know where you are

but since everyone else on the east coast is hot...I'm guessing you're there too!

[Left Is Write]

74. No, I'm out west, in the Boise area. Low 90s today, near 100 tomorrow.

[cwydro]

84. Wow, I had no idea it would be that hot there.

I thought you guys got snow really late in the year even. Figured it was one of those states with two hot months and the rest not. Shows what I know.

[Left Is Write]

87. The Boise area is quite different from the northern and mountainous parts of the state.

We're high desert and it gets broiling hot here. The sun is relentless. Triple digits temps are common in July and August.

There's rarely snow accumulation in Boise at all. We have shoveled snow twice, maybe three times in the 6-1/2 years we've lived here. My children have built a snowman twice. If we want them to play in snow, we have to drive up to McCall in the mountains for a weekend.

It stays pretty warm here through about mid-October; the day we arrived on Oct 10, 2000, it was 81 degrees.

[cwydro]

90. Any lakes?

without doing a search, didn't I see a pic of you in front of water? I would die without some water around with that kind of heat. I love the ocean, but a really big lake(or river)is cool too.

I am very ignorant about that part of the country. Shame on me.

[Left Is Write]

92. If it's this picture....

That was taken 20 years ago in my homeland, in front of Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis.

There are a few manmade bodies of water around here, and a beach up at Lucky Peak reservoir about a 30-minute drive from here. Beyond the beach at Lucky Peak there is also plenty of room for boating and waterskiing. There are lots of rivers nearby; the Boise river runs through the city, and we're also near the Snake River and the Payette River (which is a popular spot for whitewater rafting).

[cwydro]

95. yep,

that is the one. And now I remember you did say it was 20 years ago. I'm guessing that baby is a lot bigger now, eh?

Funny that name...Nokomis..graywarrior just posted about being in Nokomis, FL. Weird.

[Left Is Write]

98. She's bigger, I'm older.

:)

The baby will be 20 on the 18th.

Nokomis is an Indian name.

[cwydro]

99. Sigh..

time flies. Happy early b'day to the baby.

What does that word mean I wonder?

[Left Is Write]

100. Nokomis?

It's the name of a woman.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokomis

[Inchworm]

26. A standard day for this time of year

Misty morning, Sunny midday, breezy afternoon with thunder in the distance.

I expect the evening blast of rain in 2-3 hours.

Perfect.

:hi:

[cwydro]

36. Hello fellow tarheel!

I grew up in NC.:hi:

[Inchworm]

43. Howdy!

What part?

:hi:

[cwydro]

46. Charlotte.

though I lived up in Wildhorses neck of the woods for 10 years (Boone, Blowing Rock area).

[Inchworm]

49. Boone is the "big city" near me

I grew up (teenage years) on Horse Creek out past Lansing in Ashe County. About 2 miles from the house there is a silver dollar surveyor's coin where you can step one foot in NC, TN and VA.

Very pretty, but not much activity for the teen years.

:D

[cwydro]

50. Is Ashe still dry?

Or is that Caldwell I'm thinking of? When I was in Boone, you couldn't buy beer. Had to drive to Blowing Rock, lol.

[Inchworm]

52. Ashe is dry for liquor

Thats a reason I need to go to Boone when I go. They have liquor.

In Ashe, we've been able to buy beer within West Jefferson city limits for a loong time. Recently they voted beer/wine in restaurants and are now able to purchase beer in Jefferson.

I freaked when I saw the beer aisle at groceries! hehe

:hi:

[cwydro]

54. Seems crazy for me to read that

about liquor in Boone. Who'd a thunk it!

[Inchworm]

55. Must have been some time since you were here

They had liquor when I was a teen in 80's. I hear stories of why. I was told before they built college there there were big battles of whether to put college in Wataga (Boone) or Ashe. Wataga won, so they got the college votes to get liquor approved.

I remember well, every Friday we had to decide.. Boone, Sparta or the bootlegger for the weekend's booze. Some of the trips home were very scary.

:)

[cwydro]

56. I left in 86

and I know we had beer then. Can't remember if there was liquor then...

[Inchworm]

58. Seems like they did

You have me doubting my memory now; I could be wrong. '86 is when I graduated. I bought off the bootlegger mostly because it was closer to house and safer. (and he had better stuffs)

:)

[cwydro]

59. oh lordie

Some friends of mine and I got into some White Lightnin' one fine evening...only time I had a two day hangover. Oh, I still remember that.

[bamacrat]

29. Hazy and warm in Tuscaloosa

Hasnt rained in a few weeks. we are 18 inches under normal.

[cwydro]

47. We've been in a drought.

This rain will help. Hope y'all get some too.

[mike_c]

30. beauteous-- 69 F and not a cloud in the sky....

:bounce:

[cwydro]

40. sounds perfect.

But anything below 70 is cold for me. Been here too long.

[malta blue]

31. I don't know - I have been in the cube maze for 9 hours now...

there are no windows nearby :cry:

[cwydro]

37. There oughta be a law against that!

I'm looking outside for you right now. Rain and palm trees!

[malta blue]

38. Thanks ... I wish I lived near palm trees...

:hug:

I only have 15 more minutes to go until I am sprung for the weekend.

[wildhorses]

32. hot and dry, grass is turning brown, have to water the flowers

haven't mowed in 3 weeks.

batten down the hatches, cwydro

on edit---is this your first thread:toast:

[cwydro]

39. Oh no, not the first.

I've had a few. Even a locked one, lol.

Just don't do it very often.

No rain up your way either huh? Hope things are going well for you...

[wildhorses]

41. YOU had a locked thread?

i am impressed:wow:

that's my girl:bounce:

things are going ok...long term goals are on track.;)

short term goals are off but, in the end i think is is for the best.:shrug:

[greendog]

42. 77 degrees and sunny in NW Montana n/t

[cwydro]

45. Never been to Montana.

That sounds like a cool place to live. Not so many people...

[greendog]

60. I like it.

I can get a little crowded in the summer though. Especially up here by Glacier.

Still, it's usually not too hard to find a nice quiet spot if you know where to look.

[Gen. Jack D. Ripper]

44. 81 & sunny

As a matter of fact, I don't think there's a cloud in the sky.

[cwydro]

51. Utah, huh?

A belated welcome to DU, btw.:hi:

[Gen. Jack D. Ripper]

57. Hey, thanks n/t

[smitty]

48. Cloudy, warm, T-storms off to the west.

[CottonBear]

61. Athens, GA : 86 F, partly cloudy, hot and dry. No rain in the forecast. We need rain.

86 °F
Partly Cloudy

Feels Like: 85°F
Humidity: 36%
Wind: S at 8 mph


http://www.weather.com/outlook/homeandgarden/pets/local/30601?cm_ven=WOWs_voap&site=GENXH&cm_ite=link&par=OAP&code=null&cm_pla=cc-block&cm_cat=Generic

[cwydro]

96. Seems like the whole south is parched.

You may get some of Barry. He's coming your way I believe and he's a wet one. We're drenched.

[Rising Phoenix]

62. hot, humid and thundering

[cwydro]

63. Yep, that's what it is here too.

Once again...have a great time tonight woman!

[Rising Phoenix]

65. thanks

actually, to make time for the gym, and so my sister-in-law can come too...we are going tomorrow...so it looks like you guys are stuck with me tonight!

[Broken_Hero]

64. weird...

sunny and couldy, with spots of rain....clouds are moving mighty fast...one minute is bright sunny out, next minute, it rains.

[NC_Nurse]

67. Hot and sunny, no rain for quite a while...

http://intellicast.com/National/Radar/OneKm.aspx?animate=true&location=USNC0558

[cwydro]

68. another tarheel!

howdy!:hi:

[NC_Nurse]

71. Howdy to you too!

:hi:

[maveric]

69. "June Gloom" in San Diego.

Warm, 69 degs and cloudy. We'll get this throughout June then the weather stays nice and does not change till November.

[cwydro]

118. I visited San Diego a long time ago

I remember Mission Beach.(?) The Pacific seemed COLD to this east coast girl.

The city seemed smoggy to me when I was there; I remember I loved Jack-in-the-Box. Funny the things one remembers.

[KamaAina]

70. Lighter than usual trades, very few windward/mauka showers, mid to upper 80s

in sum, quite nice. The more usual trade showers have a nasty habit of blowing over into town right around my commute time. :grr:

edit: '80s is a decade. :dunce: Then again, we are quite often behind the times out here...

[cwydro]

72. Oh cool!

Post a radar thingie if you can.

I have a friend from Hawaii...she grew up there, though she is actually Puerto Rican. I always get a kick out of people who say to her, "Oh yeah, you LOOK Hawaiian."

[KamaAina]

73. Fair enough.

Normally there would be many more green and blue blobs, especially over the mountainous areas (alas, not visible; I couldn't get the cool one with the topo images to post) and out to sea. Of course, once the ridge gets right down over us this weekend, I have to worry about "vog" (volcanic smog) coming up from Big Island... you just can't win! :-)

[cwydro]

75. I love seeing the islands though.

I've lived in the Keys for so long and when I visit other mainland places and see the radar on the weather channel, I always freak out...like...where's the ocean?!

[Bjornsdotter]

76. Big storms just starting

...with tornado warnings.

Cheers

http://www.weatherunderground.com/radar/radblast.asp?ID=MKX®ion=a4&lat=42.34313965&lon=-88.26515961&label=McHenry%2c%20IL

[cwydro]

101. Ooh

I am afraid of big storms out where you are.:scared:

Honestly, I'd take a hurricane any day over a tornado. Stay safe!

[Bjornsdotter]

104. Thank-you!

Actually it wasn't that bad....it passed pretty quick.

:hug:

[Arugula Latte]

77. Gor.Geous.

Sunny, breezy, blue sky, maybe 80 degrees. Perfect.

[cwydro]

78. I wanna live in Oregon

or Washington. And I've never even visited.

My sis lives in northern CA though.

[Arugula Latte]

97. That would be great!

We've lived here 12 years and really like it. The long periods of grey and drizzle aren't for everyone, though. In our wonderful summers, we tend to forget about that weather, though. :hi:

[graywarrior]

79. Pouring and cold and I am in Nokomis FL right now.

[cwydro]

81. Nokomis?

Where in f*** is that, pray tell?

You're no doubt getting the same weather we are down here.

[graywarrior]

83. Just south of Sarasota on the West Coast. Between Venice and Naples.

[cwydro]

85. I swear there was someone named that

on that old Big Brother show.

Did you know it's a tropical storm now?

Barry.

On June the damn 1st.

One wonders.:scared:

[graywarrior]

88. It feels like another "Charlie" year.

Hope we don't get hit one after another.

[cwydro]

89. Bite your tongue!

Hell the year of Wilma, where I got flooded out, they ran out of names! Had to go into the Greek alphabet. Christ.:hide:

[graywarrior]

91. I ran out of here like a little coward last summer and nuthin'.

I'm here til July and I'm praying that it's a slow one this season...but

[u4ic]

80. Mid 80's, very bright and sunny with a slight breeze...

A beautiful day. :)

[cwydro]

93. Hmmm

your profile says the "frozen north". Interesting.

A good day in the frozen north I suppose?:hi:

[u4ic]

117. With those temperatures,

it ain't frozen anymore! ;)

:hi:

[SPKrazy]

82. Mostly hot

humid

84 degrees

mostly hot

thunderstorms in the area maybe? Some off to the north

and east

:shrug:

[cwydro]

102. Now, I'd expect that there.

Thundery here now. It is officially a tropical storm now.

[SPKrazy]

103. ruh roh

officially hurricane season now too :scared:

stay safe!

[Rhythm]

86. it's humid and 80 degrees at 10pm, with no rain in sight...

This Sucks!

[cwydro]

106. West , by god, Virginia huh?

:hi:

[femmocrat]

94. Too damn hot for May! (W. PA)

It has been in the 80s for the past two weeks. Hot, sunny, and very humid. Scattered rain around, but none on us yet.

[ChoralScholar]

105. Rainy. And More to Come.

[DFW]

107. About 25° and partly sunny here--nice late spring day

That's 25° Celsius, obviously, about 77°F.
About as good as it gets in these parts:


We don't have any big bodies of water nearby except the Rhein River,
which is not recommended for swimming.

Kama Aina--I know what that means, my daughter went to HPA in Waimea
on the Big Island for two years. The 12 hour time difference drove us
all nuts, but, man, was it nice to have an excuse to run over there every
now and then!

[cwydro]

108. What a pretty pic!

Where are you? Your profile says Texas? I'm thinking Germany from the pic and the text and the Celsius reference?

[DFW]

125. You are right on both counts

Dallas, Texas it is, but my work keeps me over here for much of the year.
I am station chief for Europe for my little outfit, but since my wife is
German, and I get to choose where our European HQ is, it wasn't difficult
to opt for Germany. That pic is more or less right behind the back yard of
our German house. No such view from the place in Dallas, that is for sure!

[cwydro]

126. I lived near Munich

for six months some years ago. I love Germany.

[DFW]

127. Germany is geographically convenient for me

It borders on Belgium, Holland, France, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic,
Poland, Denmark, and both the North Sea and the Baltic. It's an hour's flight to just about
anywhere in Europe. Plus, we have the added benefits of my wife being able to live and work in her
native country, with all the free education for our kids (when they lived here) and health
care, which was important when she was diagnosed with cancer.

The weather sucks, and the paperwork is infuriating, but the people are nice, the food is great,
and we have about 20 interesting countries within a maximum 2 hour flight from the nearby
airport. The 1000 year old castle in back of the house (the one in the pic) has a great, though
not cheap, restaurant in it, and there is no restriction to the public for access to the castle
grounds from 8 AM to 11 PM. I always enjoy my time back home, but there are worse places than here
to have your office.

[cwydro]

129. are you in the north or the south?

I only visited the south, but you are so right about the proximity to other countries. I only visited Austria while I was there. Wish I had managed to see the Czech Republic. I have visited France in the past, but there are so many other countries to see.

How lucky you are!

[applegrove]

109. Steamy. Hot and humid. Ug!

[cwydro]

111. Same here..

you in FL as well?

Wherever you are, make a long cool drink!

[applegrove]

116. Nope. Canada of all places.

[cwydro]

119. REALLY?!

So maybe there is something to this global warming thing, eh?

My parents met in Canada. Two Brits: Dad dodging the draft and Mom teaching French. I know they lived near the St. Lawrence River, but forget exactly where, shame on me.

[applegrove]

121. Canada does get hot and humid in many places over the summer.

Don't know if this bout is global warming. Usually the horrid humid hot streak takes place in July, not June.

[u4ic]

120. Let me guess - southern Ontario

:P


Grew up there, and don't miss that humidity. Ugh. x(

[applegrove]

122. Eastern Ontario.

[ScreamingMeemie]

110. Detroit, MI ***Hot**** ***Humid*** 85 degrees with humidity making

it oppressive and storms on the way. Ick.

[billyskank]

114. Pop round, MrsG.

It's beautiful here. :hug:

[cwydro]

115. hot, humid.

yep, same here. Stormy earlier, but it has abated somewhat.

[billyskank]

112. Been freakin' gorgeous all day!

Had the windows wide open the whole time. Breeze blowing through the flat. Able to dry my shirts by hanging them up by the window, no need for the dryer. Fantastic. :D

[cwydro]

123. Seems funny you know?

Florida inundated with rain, while London basks. You are in London, right?

Me dear old dad grew up in Fulham, back when it was the slums (as he says).

I am glad for you! The sun is out now, but very windy!

[Deja Q]

113. Well, the weather channel says 'severe thunderstorm warning', but it's 73 and partly cloudy.

:wtf:

The radar does show a small red cell moving north, but it's several miles south of the cities designated for the warning.

Which means, I have 10 minutes to get kitted up and pray for lightning to take snapshots of, unless it loses its steam by then.

[krispos42]

124. beautiful, with scattered thunderstorms. Here's a pic...

Okay, it's a lousy camera phone pic. Might have been to bright out or something. Any, warm and sunny with an awesome cloudscape!

[cwydro]

130. I actually think that is a cool pic

:hi:

[krispos42]

132. Thank you. It was much brighter than it looked

It's not a particularly accurate image of how it was, but I do admit it looks good as a picture of a post-rainstorm playground.

:-)

[Liberal Veteran]

128. Near record heat in the Inland Northwest

Mid-90's for us which is pretty odd given the number of times I complained that it doesn't start to even get comfortably warm until June.

[mvd]

131. Cooler and wet today

Very warm (high 80s) and dry yesterday. I like the cool, so I'll take it, even with the rain.

[philosophie_en_rose]

133. It's so hot. So very, very hot.

:(

[bridgit]

134. here's ours, it's been lovely, just before it will be too hot for too long...

http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=95814
