Furnace on at the end of May

Dear lord!!! <--- hell.

Texas... same thing.

In case you've never seen one of these:The Phoenix Haboob of July 5th, 2011 from Mike Olbinski on Vimeo.

Wow...looks kinda like some of the pictures and film of the dust bowl years, it has got to get into everything even with windows and doors shut I would think?Here in NC now it is 89F and humidity is 86% currently, going to T-storm soon...as usual...humidity sucks the most though.

When you see a thing like that its a good time to say to your wife pack your bags we are moving.since we are talking about weather for today pojected 16 C rising to 25 C and a bit of summer rain. Its nice living in mild zones.Extremes would be -39 C record a few kilometers from my home and and 40,6 C on the other side of the scale also a record. Edited by frako, : No reason given.

I started turning on my AC in the first week of May. It is currently 101 degrees in central Texas. Electric companies are raking it in.

One word InsulationU Texans should have a mandatory good insulation in your building code.Saves you money and its a "green" thing to do.

ROFLMAO! The only "green" texans care about is the dope that comes from Mexico.

The Duluth, Minnesota area has just received all time record rainfalls. I haven't followed things in much detail, but there were areas that got 24 hour totals of pushing 10 inches yesterday. And we had considerable amounts of rain leading up to that.I had been scheduled to do a radio show Wednesday night, but I canceled out because of "God only knows" road conditions.The homestead, out in the country, is on high ground and suffered no damage. There is some fairly minor road washouts in the vicinity. But Duluth got hammered.Here is a Duluth Zoo story link, via gregladen | ScienceBlogs: Many Duluth Zoo Animals Dead In FloodsGoogle "Duluth rain" if you want more of the story.Nice, non-rainy day today. I hope it stays that way for a while.MooseAdded by edit - Here a link to a story, with video:404: Page Not FoundEdited by Minnemooseus, : See above.

Most positive difference between pay and cost of living outside of Mexico itself, that's my excuse.{ABE} Actually, it's not so much the pay in Mexico that is less (it is much less), it is the cost of living. For some the West Texas solution is optimal twixt pay and cost of living. It sure isn't based on scenic beauty or cultural opportunities or mild climate or decent food other than BBQ. Hidden costs. {/ABE}Edited by anglagard, : No reason given.Edited by anglagard, : clarity

I was in Duluth on Wednesday. It was crazy. I drove by Chester creek and Miller Creek. It was amazing. Also stopped at Tischer creek on Wallace avenue. The creek was flowing down St MArie and undermining the banks.On the way home it took over an hour to get through Superior.

Drive over to Roscoe! It'll get better!Well, not exactly better - maybe flatter, though.

My furnace was on yesterday (June 21 for those of you who are too lazy to read the date on the post).

So, we have an "official state of emergency, stay home, don't drive unless absolutely necessary" event.Theordoric visits Duluth. You meant to say "I was crazy"?Moose

A few years ago it was snowing bad i mean really bad the highway had 10cm of crushed snow on it basically ice, and you literally could not see beyond a few meters, u could not use most of the exits on the highway because the snow there was not crushed or ploughed and about the hight of the cars cooler. And i decided to go to maribor 170 km drive cause my gf was there. Not because i had classes there the next morning it took me 5 hours to make it, and every kilometer there was an idiot who spun out.But in my defence i had a golf 4 back then diesel, drives like a tank if you know how.
