KathieB Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 http://abcnews.go.com/US/complain-heat-remember-past-winter/story?id=25128462 Just sitting here grinning and feeling blessed to be in the South in the dead of winter. (This from someone who thoroughly enjoyed heading to northern Wisconsin for snowmobiling back in the day.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sable Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Grazhina, I've been looking for cool summer month areas to retire to. Since Ive lived in Florida for 30+ years I've been looking for a place which perfectly describes your summers. I noticed that you are in Maine. Can you recommend a section of Maine that's close enough to an airport(1 hour) and has plenty of lake house options? Thanks. Feel free to PM me.

grazhina Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I think today may have been the hottest day of the year. We got into the upper 80's. It's still warm right now, about 76 degrees, 10:25 PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roxxie2 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Like Stacey said, I have a little bit of everything. This morning it was sunny and cool, so fall like. Now its trying to sprinkle and its down right getting chilly. Time to get the comforter out at night it was 40 last night....shiver shiver! I love fall here in the high desert. So cool! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacey6163 Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 It's a beautiful day here, temps in the 70's and low humidity, I can actually breathe better today. I even took a little walk outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 We had a heat wave last weekend and perfect hiking and beach weather while we were at Fort Pickens the past week, and this evening we finally got our rain. Kat, thank you for posting that link; I do NOT miss the cold winters we endured when we lived in OH and don't care if I never have to go through another one. When it gets cold here in the South I suffer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat57 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 We had a little rain-finally! I noticed it was starting when my landlord dropped by this afternoon. I told him,Wouldn't you know,just yesterday afternoon I finally felt up to going out and giving everything a good soaking (my son had been watering for me,but he doesn't soak it in like I do.) and today-I then looked up at the sky as it poured more briskly-and he laughed,Yeah,that's why it finally rained!lol But everything green looked good anyway,so I was happy. Holly,I know you must hurt when it's cold with your arthritis-I just hurt so bad when it's cold that I will take all the sweat summer can hand me!! I haven't got hair as of this evening,so it's cool now,but I'll be freezing in a few weeks-then it's hats here I come!LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debra from Olde Cape Cod Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Hot here! 94 yesterday and no rain now for a couple of weeks. Haven't had to mow the grass though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdlnpeabody Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 It has been in the mid to upper 90's all summer here, but the past few mornings have been unusually cool. It normally takes me 2 or 3 evenings to mow the lawn, but I'm tempted to crank up the mower in the morning after taking the kids to the bus stop this coming week.

grazhina Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 It's Labor Day, the end of the summer season and we're getting the warmest weather we've had all year. We were going to take an after dinner walk along the beach, but it was packed. There were even people in the water. Water temperature right now is 59. They predict temperatures this week to stay in the 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 T-storms booming overhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesterfieldzoo Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 We had some nifty loud storms last night and massive rain. I feel bad for the people south of me who have been flooded time after time in the last couple of weeks. It's supposed to rain more later this week. The weather all August has been like what we get in September, people with pools are complaining. I love it as I am normally stuck in the house the whole month because it's too hot.

me-barbie Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 We have had a beautiful weekend, 22 yesterday and supposed to be 25 today. Tomorrow, not so much and then the rest of the week goes into the toilet. ZERO. Our low Wed/Thur/Friday night are predicted to be ZERO. ALREADY. We usually don't go that low until the 3rd or 4th week of Sept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grazhina Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 We were hot and humid all week with temps in the 80's, but next week we go to highs of 60's and 70's. Right now it's 69 and sunny. I don't think it'll warm up much more than that today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 It was yucky gray & cloudy when we got up this AM to go paddling with a bunch of our hiking friends here, but by the time we got our kayaks down to the water and were working the shuttle it turned out lovely, and when we hit the water we had a breeze almost the whole way. We only paddled a bit over 7 miles, so stopped at a couple of sandbars to get out and sit in the cool water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me-barbie Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 We set a record last night...it went slightly below zero. It was only +1 when I got up. I needed gloves and a jacket! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Ugh, Barb ... no fun there! It is as dark as sunset here at 9 am as we wait for the next round of thunderstorms to pass over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 We got our rain earlier today; it began just as I finished making adjustments to the Littler House on the Highway's shower curtain to solve issues we were having with it. We're supposed to be getting a slight break in the heat this coming weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sable Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Please pray for my friend in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. She is braving Hurricane Odile alone with her dog, Moe. At least she left her trailer and found shelter in a concrete building. Thanks for your prayers, it will be a long night for her. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Sable, have you heard from your friend? Is she OK? It's pouring down rain here; our first break in the hot weather is supposed to occur at the end of the rain, along about Thursday or Friday. I'm ready to move back into the workshop for a while.

Roxxie2 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Let's see, this morning it was cool and sunny without a cloud in the sky. About a half hour ago there was one rumble of thunder and 40 drops of rain.....Now its sunny on one side of the road and clouding up over the peaks. I hope your friend in Mexico makes it through the hurricane unscathed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
