This summer does suck, it's early farking july and I'm using a down comforter to not freeze my balls off at night

It was 13°C last night at my place. Or 429°F or whatever for you yanks.

I've had the air conditioner on for one (1) day this year, and last night I was up at 2 a.m. closing all the windows because it was so farking cold outside.

I'm hoping for a nice weather late into Autumn to make up for this crap. The fishing is better then anyways.

I'm very please by this weather. Indiana summers are too hot and humid for my tastes.

It has been great for distance running, granted

But sometimes you just want a nice hot day so you can run to a nice sunning spot and collapse on a beach for a few hours

I'm one of those oblivious types who were shorts regardless if it's hot or cold. Maybe if we all dress like it's a hot summer, we can psychically will it to come?

Send some of that cold my way and I'll send you back the 35C weather I get today. Humidity too if you want it.

I am actually enjoying this summer. It finally is NOT too hot. I wear shorts whenever I can - one of my clients, it's almost de riguer (they are Archaeologists). Over 10C out? It's SHORTS weather :)

/Am sitting roasting in another office - wearing pants. Ick.

Yay, it's 15 degrees, let's hit the beach.

Two years in a row? Last summer was was hot as hell around here.

I'll take the 20-25C I'm getting here now over the 30C we had last year.

Saturday is looking like 24C partly cloudy. Perfect golf weather.

It was 116 in Phoenix yesterday. My apartment there is vacant and I'm spending July up here in the White Mountains. Canada can have some of Phoenix's heat if they want it.

Last October, we bought a new house with a pool. Gotdammitsomuch.

It's farking 104 in the shade here.fark you Canada. fark you.

GooberMcFly: Last October, we bought a new house with a pool. Gotdammitsomuch.

I put a solar pool heater system in my pool, and we've been in it every weekend since the first week in March. Go bigger with the solar panels than you think you'll need.

I know some of us in Houston would be willing to trade ;)

We've been having delightful weather here in the NYC area the last 2 weeks, but it sure hasn't been summer like. Temps have been in the mid 50s at night and mid 70s by day (normal is a low in the upper 60s and a high in the mid 80s). The water in our development's pool has yet to warm to little better than frostbite. As we get so few months of really warm weather this is a bit depressing.

I heard on the news last night that after one of the wettest Junes on record we're on pace for one of the coldest Julys on record. At least cold in July is pretty tolerable and it has the added benefit of keeping my electric bill down.

I am loving this summer here in the Northern Tier of PA/Southern Tier of NY. Highs in the 70's lows in the 50's and just enough rain to keep the course in perfect condition.

It is the perfect summer.

Oh, boo farkin' hoo. "It's too cold this summer." "Shut the hell up," I say while enduring 100+ degree afternoons with 1000% humidity and little to no rain.

It's supposed to be 80°F/26°C here today. Last night we matched a record low of 58°F/14°C. It might hit the upper 40s tonight.

This ain't July weather, that's for sure, but it's pretty damned nice.

Northern Minnesota had 35f degrees of AGW last night.
Farking July!

Come to Phoenix if you want summer. We're having a heat wave and there's enough to go around!

And there are still people who are trying to convince us OMG!! GLOBAL WARMING IS HERE!!!


/am i doing it right?

Joe_diGriz: And there are still people who are trying to convince us OMG!! GLOBAL WARMING IS HERE!!!

This has nothing to do with global warming! It's the swine flu that's causing the unseasonable weather.

I'm more than happy to keep the A/C unit off like it's been all summer so far.

/am i doing it right?

Yes, but leave out the slashie next time.

Joe_diGriz: /am i doing it right?

Close. You need to play it down a bit. The caps and the exclamation points were over the top. The "OMG" was unnecessary. I give you a 6/10.

I think I've heard the "global-warming my ass" argument at least 3 or 4 times in the last week from people who I've never heard comment on the issue. Does anyone have a clever, succinct response that I can give them in 10 seconds without having to get into explaining anecdotal vs theoretical vs statistically valid vs measurable etc etc etc?

Bonus points for creativity. I don't care about ideology, as it really doesn't matter in this instance (i.e. I want to be able to use it when it's really hot or really cold).

How about "Just because your daughter didn't screw the entire football team that one time, that makes her not a ho-bag, right Fred?"

Angry Drunk Bureaucrat: "Just because your daughter didn't screw the entire football team that one time, that makes her not a ho-bag, right Fred?"

Oooh, I like that. I think I'll rephrase it to "I see your daughter took this Friday off from screwing the entire football team. So much for global whoring."

And how did you know my name was Fred?

Playerslight: And how did you know my name was Fred?

I go to school with your daughter. I'm on the football team.

*takes notes for next time*

Guess ya shouldn'ta been born in Canada then, huh?

WHERE IS YOUR SMUG NOW?

or...something.

I can deal with the low heat, it's the rain that's getting seriously annoying.

New pool was only used a few times, and the garden is again for the third year, left to weeds as planting anything is pointless.

My Raspberries are doing okay, but I barely got any strawberries.

I'm even having trouble getting chances to cutting my lawn so to keep the kids off of it.

you yell 'barracuda', and people will be like, 'wha?'... you yell 'shark', and we got a panic on the 4th o' July.

Came for Northern tier no summer butthurt... Leaving satisfied.

/67f for the high today
//Havent used AC yet this year

Vancouver has had great weather this year. A little cool toady (22c) but still quite pleasant.

I've been building a deck for the last four weeks, so I've appreciated it not being scorching hot. Now that it's done, bring on the sun so I can enjoy it.

If you don't want to be cold, don't live in Canada, eh?

/hot
//get it?

Normally I'd say something like, "What matters is overall global temperature, not any local variations as averages matter more than anything.".

However, this does make for some interesting questions. What has the global average temp done in the last few years? I know that we were colder last winter and it seems that the trend was keeping up. I also seem to remember something about polar ice caps increasing in size. Toss in this potentially cooler summer and this year may well be lower. Now, one year doesn't make a trend, but it'd be interesting to see what the trend looks like.

Here in CT it's perfect weather. Certainly NOT July weather but perfect. 80 during the day, 50 at night.

I'll comment after I finish my stroll through Central Park on this warm, sunny afternoon...

Abstruse: It's farking 104 in the shade here.fark you Canada. fark you.

^This

Take some Texas heat while you're at it. 110 Fahrenheit is freakin killer. And for you saps that don't know how hot that is since you're in Celcius, it's 43.3 Celcius.

It's mid July and I haven't even put the AC in my window yet. I'm leaving for Buenos Aires in two weeks - it's winter there. I was counting on getting to see a _little_ summer this year before I left. The suck.

Suprisingly, the summer here in Philly has been fantastic thus far. Highs in the 80's, relatively low humidity. June did suck, I think it rained something like 24 out of 30 days...

As it's been 100 degrees for over 2 weeks here in Houston, Canada, you're welcome to my summer. I'll be more than happy to spot you 25 degrees a day.

SpinStopper: I know some of us in Houston would be willing to trade ;)

Jesus fark yes. Where the hell are our afternoon thunderstorms?

Angry Drunk Bureaucrat: Playerslight: And how did you know my name was Fred?

I go to school with AM your daughter. I'm on doing the football team.

Fixed.

It's not so much the heat as it is the stupidity.

Have you tried rubbing them together?
