Solstice in Seattle. 59 degrees and raining. And the days are 18 hours long.

[nolabear]

We call it Juneuary. I am bundled up. I am freezing my bodacious tatas off.

Say something warm.

[Sanity Claws]

1. Summer starts on July 5th!

Just two weeks away.

(I used to live in Seattle and remember those cool days in June)

[AsahinaKimi]

2. There are some nights

In San Francisco when the fog rolls in and the temperature drops, and its cold, moist and damp here. I usually have to sit at the computer with my legs wrapped up in a blanket. I would use the space heater, but the electric costs from PG&E are high here. I would sooner find a way to keep warm, rather than have to rely on a space heater. I have no control over the furnace and usually its off during the summer, thanks to my neighbors upstairs.

3. On the other hand, the nicest spring I can remember in a very long time.

4. I'm in Florida and my air conditioner broke a couple weeks ago.

It took a few days to get it replaced. 90 degrees outside and no AC makes for a warm house.

5. Here's warm for you, nolabear:

[ConcernedCanuk]

6. I got my woodstove going.

[cliffordu]

8. This thread is useless without pictures.

[Locut0s]

11. Pictures of what? Uniform gray mush? nt..

[cliffordu]

14. Bodacious tatas.

[Locut0s]

15. Oh of course. Facepalm...

Yes pictures indeed

[nolabear]

17. You wish.

[Populist_Prole]

9. Sounds good to me!

Cool is "cool".

[Locut0s]

10. Same up here in Vancouver. We suffer together across the border :P

[love_katz]

12. Poor nolabear.

I was born in this part of the world, and I love the cool weather, but I can understand that it is hard for folks who aren't used to it or just don't like it.

Don't worry...all too soon the cloud cover will burn away under the strength of the summer sun, and our temps will go from the 50's to the 90's overnight.

One thing about weather...it gives us all something to commiserate about with each other, which makes it the great connector, maybe?

Anyway, sending you warm thoughts.

[nolabear]

18. Thanks. I'm Southern by birth and upbringing but have been here for 25 years!

And I STILL throw a fit every year. Seattle has the highest purchase of sunglasses every year. Why? Because we wear them so seldom we lose them!

[love_katz]

25. Re: sunglasses...

too funny!

Saturday is supposed to be drier and sunnier...I hope you can get out and enjoy it.

[love_katz]

13. Oddly enough...

one of the nicest ways to enjoy this weather is to build a fire in the fireplace (or visit someone who has one)...and leave the windows open to let in fresh air.

No, I'm not nuts...why are you all looking at me that way?

16. Actually, Solstice on the west coast was yesterday

at 10:04 PM PDT.

Our calendars say that Solstice is today, which is correct for the East coast, where Solstice occured at 1:04 AM EDT.

[nolabear]

19. I posted it yesterday. But I'm willing to complain anyway.

[Lionel Mandrake]

20. According to weather.com

the sun should come out this afternoon in Seattle. Maybe that will cheer you up.

[hedgehog]

21. When do you folks get a chance to mow the lawn?

We keep getting deluged, so I'm looking for hints!

[nolabear]

23. It's a problem. I solved it by having no lawn.

But late spring can get mighty shaggy. Every dry day is a mow-a-palooza.

[LWolf]

24. High today: 69.

Low: 38.

That's okay by me. My hands are so cold inside that it's hard to type.

That's okay, because I hate heat.

I think I'll go have a nice hot breakfast and cup of tea, lol.

[In_The_Wind]

26. We actually had a nice summer day today.
