As narrated by Eddie Izzard.

Don't worry. My mom doesn't have AC and I'm headed to the northeast to visit in a little over a week. So, your summer sun and heat wave will arrive.

It's one thing that it's raining everyday, but the mold that's begun to grow on everything outside - the deck, furniture, side of my house - is really making me insane.

I can't get my towels to dry. I hang them up in the bathroom, and their still...damp the next day.

Also, ALL of my sundresses are sitting around...waiting.

:(

I would kill for a week of 90* sunny weather. I have only driven in rain as bad as it was this morning twice in my life. Wasn't sure I was gonna make it into work. Wipers on high didn't even touch it.

Four sunny days in the entire month of June make benlonghair a sad Yankee.

what_now: Also, ALL of my sundresses are sitting around...waiting.

Now that is truly a crime against humanity.

It's because all you heathens gave the gays the right to marry. You've doomed us all!

NewportBarGuy: It's because all you heathens gave the gays the right to marry. You've doomed us all!

*Narrows eyes in the general direction of Rhode Island.*

It's no better here in Maine. 23 of 30 days in June it rained. Has not reached 80 degrees since the 22nd of May. Right now it's 58 on the second of July!

I'm in CT. I might as well be in freaking Seattle. The sun came out for a few minutes the other day and my eyes seized up and my skin started to peel off of my body from the exposure. It's gotten to the point where I have to leave my house in a boat and bring snorkel equipment just to get to work.

This weather is driving me insane. We better have nice weather thorough October once it passes--if it passes.

I miss seeing girls in sundresses.

ThrnPhl: I miss seeing girls in sundresses.

I miss being a girl in a sundress.

I look damn good in a sundress.

NewportBarGuy: I look damn good in a sundress.

Hellooooooo...

Wait, WUT?

I spend my days indoors. I'm in Phoenix in July. I don't even like going out at night. My air conditioning stays cranked.

what_now: I miss being a girl in a sundress.

That,too. But I really miss swimming in my pool. I don't mind swimming in the rain, if it's not monsoon-like but the (almost) daily thunderstorms have made it impossible to even stand near it.

I miss being a girl in a sundress.

Mmmmmmm sundresses. I think it may be the greatest piece of clothing ever made.

Just a Hippie: It's no better here in Maine. 23 of 30 days in June it rained. Has not reached 80 degrees since the 22nd of May. Right now it's 58 on the second of July!

I may murder you for that. 1.63" here last month, under 40% of average, and we had like 2 weeks of 95+ days.

I bought this little number in blue. A while ago.

The tags are still on it. :(

I hear you. I made one of these (view E) about 3 weeks ago & haven't had a chance to wear it yet.

And it's so cute--pink dress w/orange trim. *sigh* One day...

Sadly no advice on getting Dad drunk and sexing him up after the waters recede.

I would kill for some farking global warming right about now.

But not to worry... I'm sure this rain will end soon and we'll head directly into a major drought. By September, the reservoirs will be at their lowest levels in a decade.

I'm 6-foot w/a 35" inseam. Had to learn to sew or pay REALLY ridiculous prices for stuff that fits. If I buy dresses off the rack, I either have to add something to the bottom, only wear them with leggings, or hem them to make them mini-dresses.

/You can learn to sew--it's really easy
//And making dresses is a cinch.

how can boston.com go from such awesome single-page photo presentations to such a completely worthless slideshow as this? gah

The good news is that I'm seeing mushrooms that I've never seen before. Boy I'm glad I'm not a painter.

Yeah, the original item opened with a picture of Charlton Heston as Moses....just proves that the Boston Globe is part of the Godless liberal media. Or that they're a bunch of dumbasses.

Oh, that was Carl's fault. He's new.

Seacop: Heading to P-town huh?

I have to make up for my state's lack of gay pride. what_now is threatening me with bodily harm unless my state follows the rest of New England.

Besides, they have some great antique shops in the P.

I wouldn't call it the worst weather. Yeah it's been raining a lot, but it's been in the mid 70s to mid 80s for nearly 2 months straight here in Philly. Beats the hell out of the 100 degree days last year.

It's my fault.
It always rains on my days off.
I live in vermont.
For the second summer, I'm taking all 3 day weekends.

I keep checking my fingers and toes, expecting to find webbing. Pretty soon we'll be burning people at the stake for saying that something called "the sun" even exists.

I'm at the southern tip of Manhattan--but it might as well be the Ganges Delta in Bangladesh. Only a couple of monsoon episodes today. Sun brightly shining now, but the clouds over New Jersey, they threaten. However, I must admit I do enjoy seeing all those umbrella skeletons scattered around the sidewalks and stuffed into dustbins after a heavy cloudburst accompanied by strong winds.

The good news is all the rain runoff is turning my driveway into a cliff, pretty soon I won't be able to leave the house for work...

I was woken up by a loud crack of thunder at 4am. It scared me =(
Then rained like a biatch up until 12 or so.
Why does it always rain on my days off?

what_now: ThrnPhl: I miss seeing girls in sundresses.

I miss being a girl in a sundress.

I miss girls in wet, clingy sundresses.

No undergarments are a bonus.

This article is one great big festering neon distraction.

I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied:

Learn to swim.

So *that's* what a cubit is!

Weather is awesome here, this 99% cloud cover last few months has meant not a single patch of sunburn, normally July means being roasted. So this is what it feels like being a daywalker.

On the bright--wait, it's been cloudy since forever. Okay, on the positive side, we haven't had to break out the AC for the bedroom window yet. On the negative side, I'm starting to get Seasonal Affective Disorder in July. And I'm very sad the Farkettes in the thread haven't been able to wear fun clothing. Remember, everyone, "sundress" is only one letter away from "undress".

Speaking of sewing, my wife can whip out a sundress in about three hours, tops.

I finally got a chance to mow my lawn yesterday because every single time I had a chance for the past 3 weeks, it rained.

I heard that earlier.

It rained all day today, and last week our storm drain and sewer mains on the street backed up. Toilet paper, condoms, and tampons were all over the street.

Riiight.

Not that I really want to build it, but it would be a good excuse to keep my wife topless. "Honey, I gotta measure this board..."

Seriously, I'm in New York and started making Ark jokes two weeks ago. Good thing the June monsoon season is over and now we can -

Damn, it's raining AGAIN.

At least our tomato crop is thriving.

C'mon! Get real already. We've had three straight days of biblical deluges in central Florida. 3+ hours of rain at a sustained 2-3" per hour. Comes in from the gulf and rides up I4 like it's on rails. Not too bad today and supposed to be clear tomorrow so I can get to Disney for a reunion.

/Sixxtwo I saw those LED signs on I-90 for the first time a couple weeks ago. What the hell's the point of that?

Yeah this weather is putrid in Boston. Last night the thunder was so bad it set off car alarms. Worst June since 1903 (when they apparently started keeping Worst June records, so it could possibly be the worst June in the history of planet earth). July is 2/2 on overcast rainy days.

Someone needs to hit the reset button already.

These LED signs are the ones I am on about.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force, a show on Adult Swim, did an ad campaign in Boston back in '07. They put electronic signs similar to the one you posted, in various places around town. People panicked because they somehow looked like bombs and it was a whole big emergency.

Ah... well... *ahem*... don't I look like an idiot.

/business as usual

It is 100F outside and hardly a cloud in the sky plus so humid you can wear the air, and it has mostly been this way for a month. I'll trade weather for a while if there are any takers in the Northeast.

Booyaxe: Looks like i'm grillin' inside for the 4th

Are you kidding me? Weather is NOT an excuse to dealy good grilling. I have been known to stand outside and grill some steaks in the middle of a blizzard. The snow banks just helps to keep my beer cold.

No fire that bad boy up, upen an umbrella and get your grill on.
It is the American thing to do.

I'd much rather learn how to build a schpeed boat.

Wow, an entire thread devoted to the weather. I thought only English people did that.

Wait, your pictures were a flood? That looks like a little sprinkle...



You obviously were not in Missouri in 1993...

By the way, look straight up the highway beyond the overpass. See that bridge way up there? Yeah, that is the bridge that goes over the Missouri river on a normal day. See all that water in the foreground of the picture? Yeah, that is the Missouri river on this day.

Just a lil' perspective. I remember sandbagging days in and day out...

At this very moment trillions and trillions of mosquito larvae are smiling as the rain softens our will to live.They're just biding their time, waiting for the sun to come out and give us false hope for a happy summer. Then they'll hatch. They'll come in squadrons. exposed skin will will have welt upon welt. You will be weak from lack of blood and will happily douse yourself with carcinogenis chemicals in search of relief. They'll just laugh at your attempts at relief and keep sucking.

Anyway, have a nice day!

Wow, no flooding here, but a wicked thunder storm a few days ago did provide me the opportunity to rent a boom lift. My sacred bedroom has been taken over by water spots on the ceiling and buckets :(

Now if it will stop raining, I can fix the roof in time for my house to be burned down by errant fireworks!

First I was WTF, did something move in that image, then I LOL'ed.

woodstock: Booyaxe: Looks like i'm grillin' inside for the 4th

/in NH

Are you kidding me? Weather is NOT an excuse to dealy good grilling. I have been known to stand outside and grill some steaks in the middle of a blizzard. The snow banks just helps to keep my beer cold.

No fire that bad boy up, upen an umbrella and get your grill on.
It is the American thing to do.

A big fat THIS. I fondly remember grilling outside, on New Year's Eve, in -20º temperatures, a couple years ago. It was AWESOME.

/ bourbon keeps the chill away!

tetsoushima: I finally got a chance to mow my lawn yesterday because every single time I had a chance for the past 3 weeks, it rained.

It's shredding wet clover...every lawn in my hood is all clover now for some insane reason, and when it's wet the mover just pulls the leaves off and doesn't cut it...like to rent a goat from the farm up the hill, but I bet they're not even hungry...

The Swedish instructions are a little different.



/That's Ikea for you.

I just spent the last two weeks out there. It barely rained. Maybe you guys need to update your damn crumbling infrastructure so that your rain water will drain instead of having to wait for it to evaporate.

Cheer up, everyone. Tomorrow's sure to be a perfect sunny day. Why? Because I'm stuck doing standby at a children's 4th of July parade, and there's no way the gods love me enough to rain the little bastards out.
