What's the weather like where you are?

[Dngrsone]

Well, I did something I haven't done in years: I had to drive through honest-to-Bob rain. As in traffic coming to a standstill because you can't see [insert expletive of your choice here].
Of course, this isn't in middle of nowhere, CA. Rather, I am in WV on a road-trip.

So you are the A-hole driving like he's never driven in a rainstorm before. Got it.

LOL. I'm Floridian (from back before Floridians were idiots); I grew up in the lightning capital of the world. Pretty sure I know how to drive in rain.
With that said, I was driving a rental, so, yeah, I was all over the damn road trying to figure out how to use the car.

Heat lightning is amazing!
Don't get much here.
Boston is known for Thunder Snow.
Not now of course.
Early summer it's grey and humid.

 

[lunatic59]

sit tight, @dontpanicbobby , you should be getting the same round of storms we're waiting for. Supposed to be pretty strong ones.

 

[Clementine_3]

Waiting for them here as well.

 

[Unforgiven]

Yep, we got a flash flood warning for this afternoon.

 

[Clementine_3]

Oooooo, they may be packing a wallop.

 

[dontpanicbobby]

Looks like its moving north to south. Boston should be safe but wet.

The warning I got said the worst should be west of I91, so I think I'll be mostly OK too.

 

[Clementine_3]

I'm just on the western edge of it so we'll see what comes. I do like a storm but don't like any damage!

I'm supposed to have a makeup game for the rainout Friday tonight. Looks doubtful.

Yeah. No. Just plan on staying home

Our little league rules stated that if lightning was seen or forecast within (x) miles, game was automatically cancelled.

We hear thunder, everyone in the dougouts for 5 minutes, see lightning, off the field, game called. I interpret that to mean if I see a flash without necessarily seeing a bolt, because, well, tall metal fences surround the field.

 

[Clementine_3]

Well. That was a heck of a storm and the big stuff is scheduled for later. It just blew up right over me and kept getting bigger and redder on radar. The thunder and lightening was BIG. I left my little guitar amp on and could hear it static-ing with every lightening strike. Power went off and on a few times and I got booted out of work Yikes.

The sky's clear, it's been quite dry lately, and it's rather chilly here for late May, it's around five degrees outside. Before you go, "Whoa!" remember the fact that we use degrees centigrade...

The physical weather is about 80 degrees with sun shining bright but my emotional weather it's cloudy and rainy.

I didn't think it got that hot there. I thought you had rain every day, sort of like Seattle on a national scale.

And 99.9% of the time you'd be perfectly correct. Just my luck to lay down some nice new vulnerable turf (or sod as you may know it), and then get a sustained period of unbroken sun, with not a cloud in the sky, and the hottest June day for 40 years!
We're hotter than the Med here!!!

The only time I see humidity as low as 17% is in February.

 

[olbriar]

It's been a bit miserable here of late. Temps in the mid nineties and humidity over 50%. They are predicting cooler weather for the weekend. I think it's a conspiracy designed to keep us from leaving the state.
