Sky is very dark with a forecast of 60 MPH winds, damaging lightening and heavy rain in Northern KY. This crap has been going on most of the Spring thru today. YUK!

Been like that most of our summer. This has to be one of the coolest summers I can remember. It seem like it rains just about every other day. Normally this time a year I down to mowing about every 2 weeks. This summer it like 2x a week

It seems as if that's been the forecast in NY / NJ almost every day this summer. Sure kills plans...

Been the same here on Long Island.
Left the car in the garage plenty of times so far.
It even got wet once and didn't shrink.

Pretty much the same here in Calgary. Had a few nice days the last few weeks but really bad storms the last two days. Today it's solid rain and only 54 degrees. Supposed to be that way all week through the weekend. It doesn't feel like August, feels like April.

By days end we will have had more rain in 24 hours than we get in all of August. It's been the worst summer anyone can remember.

The summer that wasn't.


Coolest July & summer ever recorded in Chicago.


We had 50° nights in July. The Ice age is coming. I'm just wondering how they are going to switch it around and tax us for the ice age after taxing us all for global warming.

Yeah, I'm looking at that crap moving this way to middle TN. Looks like Louisville almost floated away.
