I don't ever remember weather this bad,this long. Almost June and I've not been to one cruise night. I know it could be a lot worse, but enough already

I think I've put maybe 50 miles on the Z in the last 3 weeks. I'm starting to get really pissed off. Looks like a break in the weather here next week. Dry and mid 90's finally.

I feel your pain, the weather sucks here too. It seems to get nice during the week, then the weekend turns to s**t. I've actually managed to make it to a couple cruise nights, hopefully it straightens up soon.

Oh we have plenty of sun in North Texas. Hit 105 Friday and set a record on Saturday at 110. At 1am, it's still 87 degrees. I ain't even June yet. No way I'm ridin' around with the top down.

BTW, send us some rain soon. We've been in a drought down here.

OP is right about the wierd weather. Even here in Southern California last night we had hurricane winds up here at 7000 feet and a chance of snow (although it did not snow), and looks like more rain chance mid week. 33 degrees last night!

I want my spring/summer weather!

Sitting in my kitchen right now drinking coffee sulking at the fog and mist. I bought the car over the winter and have driven once on Easter and it was so cold couldn't even put the top down. Grrrrrrrrr IL weather. Only positive is we haven't been banged up by tornados, knock on wood, like unfortunate south IL and surrounding states.

The sun is shining brightly in Oklahoma today but the winds are also high so I guess I'll stay inside and watch some racing. Besides, this week's tornadoes have debris scattered in three directions and I sure don't want to experience my first flat on the Corvette. Hope we all get some ideal driving conditions soon.

It sounds like Texas is the place to be! The weather sucks up here in the Great White North as well.

Raining sideways now, large hail, 60 mph gusts. Radar says worst is yet to come. Storm warnings until 4. What a great holiday weekend. Yes, work week shows awesome forecast.

Yep, we're all hunkered down here. Looks rougher just south and a little east of us though.

This crappy spring has not only messed up driving, but flying has been minimized too.

Regards.
