:grr::grr::grr:

Where is our summer weather??

It has been raining and cloudy here for 2months straight
we only had 1 or 2days hot weather.....

:hi:

:rant:

[MadMaddie]

1. It's 61 degrees in the Seattle/Everett area

Our heater kicked on last night.....

:mad: :nopity: :grr: :banghead:

[Parche]

4. Hey northern neighbor!!

:hi:

This really sucks, it really has been crappy here lately

:hi:

[MajorChode]

15. I was just there last week

We've already had several 100+ days in the Dallas area. I found the weather in Seattle quite agreeable.

[gratuitous]

2. No shit

I haven't put away my foul and cold weather bicycling clothes, and those goom-bahs on the Naked Ride Saturday night? Well, let's just say "shrinkage".

[MadMaddie]

40. Ha..ha.. I saw some of the pictures.....oh dear!!

[madinmaryland]

3. Can you send some of that our way??

Fucking hot!

:hi:

[Chan790]

5. Damned right it is...

I just want to point out that due to convection effect, the actual on-the-ground temperature inside downtown DC or Baltimore is actually 5-8 degrees hotter than those readings/predictions which are made in suburban Columbia, MD.

I see Parche whining in the OP and I think "You big baby, you want to trade? I've got 3.5 more months of walking out of work at 6PM into 95-degree heat."

I've got my A/C on full blast and I'm still sweating. It's 10 goddamned PM; when is it supposed to cool off?

[madinmaryland]

7. Well, I didn't know that it stayed

that hot that long in Yonkers. Though riding the Subway on the Lexington Line from GCT down to Wall Street is/was hell during the summer. Yeah, it might only be 80, but it is 95 degrees/humidity down there during the day. Fucking annoying when wearing a suit and tie.

:mad:

Yeah, it was so fucking hot on my hikes over the weekend, I had to go for a dip in the river! Ahhhh!!

[Chan790]

10. Oh I'm lazy and failed to update my profile. I moved to MD 6 months ago.

Silver Spring. It's lovely...I had "the best pizza in DC as voted on by the listeners of WTOP." today...I wanted to cry. Why can nobody in this godforsaken state make a decent pie either? It's not bad enough we live in a giant muggy oven, we have to suffer shitty pizza. Also, the whole state smells like the bay.

[madinmaryland]

23. What did the listeners of WTOP say was the best pizza in DC?

I'm still trying to find places to eat here. Everything in Columbia is a chain restaurant, except for a few pubs.

[Chan790]

42. Ben Yahuda in Silver Spring.

I'm kind of happy because it's kosher and vegetarian so I don't have to worry about what's in my food (kosher law being strict on food additives, also anything with dairy can't have meat in it...makes it easy to eat vegetarian.), they serve a veg-friendly French onion soup and a kick-ass homemade vegetarian "meat"ball too. It's not great pizza though in comparison to anything I can get back home.

If you're willing to come this far for pizza, you should continue down GA Ave. for another 3 miles or so into the city. The best pizza I've found thus far is "Pete's" (www.petesapizza.com) in Columbia Heights. There is one just open in Tenleytown too, I haven't been to that one yet but parking is almost certainly got to be simpler in t-town than the heights. Pizza Mart in Adams Morgan is a DC institution but horribly located just like the rest of Adams Morgan.

I remember living in Columbia and there being not much except chains. Still, we found some dining gems. My roommate and I found a great pizza place there that had $5 cheese pies on Monday nights. It was in the same plaza as the Giant and Blockbuster (near Fairway Hills and the Mall..kind of.) but that was 8 years ago and I don't know if it's still there. The guy who owned it was off-the-boat from Naples and only employed his relatives...he was the only one who spoke a word of English. The rest of them would just point and gesture frantically at you that your pizza was done. There was a shitty sports bar that I think was also trying to be an Irish pub where I got the best gumbo I've ever had outside of LA. Other than that, yeah not much. It's bad when your local Chinese food place is P.F. Chang. We used to drive about 20 minutes away just to go to Flying-T diner for lack of decent grub closer that was open past 9pm.

[LSdemocrat]

8. Heck, I can beat that here in St. Louis. . .

[Chan790]

11. Do you hover around 85% humidity, yet it never rains though?

I think that's a DC phenomena. I hear the whole DC area used to be a swamp. How, since it never seems to rain?

[nickinSTL]

37. we get the humidity, but we do get some rain

the humidity tends to be pretty brutal, we do get rain, at least occasionally.

Doesn't affect the heat or the humidity much or for long - the other day, it was miserably hot when I got home from work around 5, rained around 6, I went out and did some yard work around 7, and was completely soaked in about 15 minutes.

[cordelia]

12. It's not that bad even

here in Atlanta.

We're supposed to be in the low-mid 90s for the next week at least.

One good thing, the humidity is not the usual 99.99999% - it's been between 40 and 60%, which makes a difference.

I fear what August will be like.

[rurallib]

39. I was going to mention the Midwest, but you beat me

and beat our temps. But at least the humidity is high also.

[Arugula Latte]

6. GAH! I know! I'm soooooooo sick of it!!!

:grr:

[grasswire]

9. I still have three blankets on the bed...

...and full length pajamas at night! It's insane. Although I don't like real hot weather either. Would just like a regular early summer day!

[MadMaddie]

41. We have the thick sheets

I never know what clothes to wear...do I go out layered....what if I wear a sweater and it warms just a little...aaaaaaargh

[SeattleGirl]

13. I'm wondering the same damned thing myself!

Middle of freakin' June, and I'm still wearing sweaters and coats! :grr:

[MiddleFingerMom]

14. It's only gotten up to 106 degrees here in Tucson.

16. Sounds like you got our usual summer!

It's been gorgeous here, for the most part, and I live by the Ocean. Very little fog for June, just sunny and in the mid-sixties with a bit of a breeze.

the Pacific NW may rain all year, but summers are amazing in PDX and SEA. You wait: you're gonna be enjoying those 4th of July fireworks, while in SF we'll be soggy and foggy like we are every year!

[Arugula Latte]

27. Go to the other side of the Caldecott tunnel

You will sizzle.

[dana_b]

34. Exactly! It's pretty wam in Pleasant Hill

today. Got the A/C on - which I hate doing. I wish we had some of that SF fog.

[pink-o]

48. And I wish I could send some yr way!

It's pretty grim here today. But what really kills me is that when I drive home from the Peninsula, you can actually see a line in the sky where it turns from blue to grey. My upstairs neighbor used to call our place the Munster's House, encased in fog while everywhere else was all sunshine and flowers!

But when September rolls around, and all the tourists are gone and the kids in school, there is no place on earth I'd rather be than right here. I bike across the bridge every weekend in October; it is truly the most sublime month of the year.

Living proof: taken during Fleet Week in 2008. Check the color of the sky and the water, and remember we get to wake up to that EVERY DAY for about 60 days.

[pink-o]

36. Don't I know it! My friend lives in Danville!

Weirdest microclimates ever, here in the Bay Area. And only during the summer--I'm sure we humans have done something to mess up the weather again!!!

[Arugula Latte]

38. I grew up in Contra Costa, and lived in both Berkeley and San Francisco

When I lived above the Castro near Noe Valley I'd call my friend in the Sunset to ask her what kind of weather they had before I went over to see her. Invariably she'd say they were socked in w/ fog, while we had sun. So even the microclimates within the microclimates are hardcore in the Bay Area. :crazy:

[TZ]

17. Be careful what you ask for

We are having our hottest and most unpleasant summer in YEARS and its technically just begun. Its been in the 90's most of this month. When you have August like weather in June, that does not bode well.

[old mark]

18. Well, fuck, it's fuckin" summer here fer sher - 90's since Saturday and

for at least the next week...where do you live, anyway?
This is South East PA I'm fuckin' talkin here....

mark

[TommyO]

19. You have the weather that we had last year at this time

We had low 70's as a high, with plenty of rain. The pool was unusable for the entire month of June, we've been in it every day this year.

[hobbit709]

20. It's definitely summer here.

[femmocrat]

35. Very summery here in PA.

It's been hot here since April I think. Feels like August already.

[MilesColtrane]

21. Texas stole it.

Heat index above 100 the past two weeks.

I fear July.

[bigwillq]

22. Come to Connecticut

It's been hot. Nice, but hot! :hi:

[mikeytherat]

24. Here in Central VA we skipped April and went straight into late August.

Temps in upper 90s for past two weeks, and 19 days of 90s and above during March-April. We haven't seen much rain lately, either.

Send some of that wet, cool weather this way!

mikey_the_rat

[AngryOldDem]

25. We've got highs in the 90s and monsoons here.

Rains like a son of a bitch at night into early morning, then clears and becomes a steambath for the rest of the day, which leads to...rains like a son of a bitch at night...

Supposed to be this way for most of the week. It's been years since I've seen a weather pattern like this.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

26. No it's not....it's supposed to be winter and it is winter here

I can tell it by how cold it is

[NJmaverick]

28. Want to trade my 90s and humid weather?

[last_texas_dem]

[sakabatou]

31. 70 degrees with sun

Yep, it's summer where I live.

[mnhtnbb]

32. Ever think about moving? We've been having summer since April: hot and humid.

Maybe, just maybe, it will cool down next week to the 80's.

[gratuitous]

33. Hey, the sun came out!

And right after Pride Weekend. Hmmmm.

Apparently we'll get two days of this, and then it's back to the driz.

[ColesCountyDem]

43. Sending you our excess scorching heat ( Central Illinois )

It has been one hot sumbitch here!

[YellowRubberDuckie]

44. It's in Oklahoma.

It's hotter than the surface of the effing sun here right now.

[ColesCountyDem]

45. We hardly notice the heat here in Illinois, what with dodging all the recent tornadoes

:P

[PJPhreak]

46. Ya'll see where it says "Kansas City"?

Well I live RIGHT under those letters!

And the humidity puts the heat index at appox 110!

I so wish that I could be cursing the "Cold"!

I would lubs me some Seattle Weather About Now!

Cilmate Change/Global Warming? Naaaaa,Not Even :wtf: :sarcasm: :wtf:

[mikeSchmuckabee]

47. Boo-friggin-Hoo!

It hasn't been below 75 in weeks here in central Arkansas. And I mean even at night.

[AtomicKitten]

49. June in SF: Cold, windy, and really really foggy. nt

[MissMillie]
