Re: weather??
 

hope the weather picks up a bit today...got mi weshin out

Re: weather??
 

Nowhere near ... it's in BC .... about 4 days drive from here .... but it's causing major problems in the Okanagan Valley, esp. around Kelowna .... a hell of a mess. Buddy of mine lives in the valley and he tells me that it's drier than a soda craker fart (that's Canadian, eh).

Re: weather??
 

Eric - my grandson is at a summer camp at Squam Lake New Hampshire.
I notice that it is the same latitude as you, but it is a lot higher in altitude.
If you aren't getting hot weather, he won't be either.
Maybe a good thing - fewer mozzies maybe.

Re: weather??
 

Glad to hear your safe where you are Eric, I suppose that's one kind of thing we don't have to put up with back here in blighty, it never gets that dry here

Re: weather??
 

There hasn't been all that much hot weather in the east .... but the rainfall has been heavier than normal .... as a result: mega mosquitos .... moskies like to breed in stagnant water ... not something I'm into;):D

Re: weather??
 

Looks like the fires are more or less under control .... one thing that Canadians are good at is fighting forest fires .... get more than enough practice.

Re: weather??
 

anyone (in accy) think its gunna rain soon? i want to go out..

Re: weather??
 

It'll either rain or go dark before morning ema:D

Re: weather??

Re: weather??

Re: weather??

Re: weather??
 

oh my god are we ever going to have that 'indian summer' we where promised? or does it pee down in India constantly?

Re: weather??
 

I thought this summer was supposed to be dry, warm and sunny ... well looks like im going to get a free shower again ..

Re: weather??
 

:confused::confused::confused: I was just telling ema it was raining:rolleyes:

Re: weather??
 

It's just after 6'00pm and it's 43°C (don't know what that is in farenheit) but I can assure you it's very hot.
Oh how I miss good old Ossie rain!!

Re: weather??
 

Will swop you if you want.

Re: weather??
 

I think you are talking about the wrong kind of Indian, hon. Indian Summer is a North American thing .... I believe it is the warm weather one gets in late fall, and if I remember right, it has to come after the first hard frost. Don't fret it ... the only First Nations people you have over there are tourists from over here.;):D

Re: weather??
 

It,s hotter than a firecracker here, 36 deg today, that,s 97, I think I,m gonna melt. My sister lives in Kelowna and she could see the fires from her deck about 5 miles away. They just got them 50% contained but still not out by a long chalk.

Re: weather??
 

Saw this on the news last night ... what a heat wave you guys are having! ... and I noticed that the temps in Whitehorse are in the 30s! Here it has been slightly cooler than normal, with lots of rain.

Re: weather??
 

15c in Iqualuit today .... that's a bloody heat wave ... the weather in the high Arctic is really giving cause for concern .... the end of the world is nigh .... holiday in the Arctic Riviera anyone? And in the 30s in Yellowknife ... sheesh.

Re: weather??
 

I think the weather must have fried my brain. It was 95 today and I just got back from playing footy with a bunch of over 50s. We played for an hour and half and then drank 6doz beer. Now we just booked a four day holiday in Laughlin Nevada and it,s 111 deg there today, deff not playing with a full deck.

Re: weather??
 

it was pouring down at 5 this morning, now its brightening up, gonna take the dog for a walk now me thinks

Re: weather??
 

Out of the frying pan into the fire.;) Eh. Summer really hasn't happened in Ontario .... lots of rain, and not too much sun.

Re: weather??
 

Shushhhhhhhhhhhh its nearly 10am and its not raining:D

Re: weather??
 

Will be soon though have you looked at the sky? Going to be another wet one:(

Re: weather??
 

:(Spoke to soon, spots on the window:(

Re: weather??
 

Spots there has just been a real downpour, it was bouncing off the pavements:eek:

Re: weather??
 

We've just had a hail storm in Haslingden however I'm sick of this Global Warming, the heat, the drought, the deserts, palm trees everywhere, factor 35 to pop to the chippy, is there no end to this heat wave?

Re: weather??
 

Ya Bernie it rains faster than I can type:rolleyes: although the flowers are loving it:D

Re: weather??
 

So what's happened so far in this thread.. rain?

Re: weather??
 

Yep but its a damn good reason fer a whinge.:D

Re: weather??
 

Beats the hell out of politics cashy:D

Re: weather??
 

The weather IS politics.
The yanks have HAARP in Alaska
The EU have LOFAR
The Russians have Woodpecker
and they are working in collusion

Tesla Weather Control Over America

On 4 July 1976, the Soviet Union began generating powerful electromagnetic transmissions, that were dubbed "The Russian Woodpecker" by Western ham radio operators.

Here is a map showing the recent effect from the Russians - lightening in a horizontal stripe across northern Europe.

Re: weather??
 

Oh please leave the weather alone, hon .... it's the only safe thing to talk about. If I meet someone in the street, and say "nice day, eh", I don't want to initiate a political debate .... I mean, it's not like saying "and who do you vote for"?, or "which church do you go to, and why"?, or "what's your favorite sexual position"?

Re: weather??
 

:do-one:Think I'll keep my mouth shut in future:rolleyes:

Re: weather??
 

ive done my own research ..... if i get out of bed before 12 midday like i had to do yesterday and wednesday .... it rains .... if i dont get up and stay in bed till after 12 midday (like today) ... it stays fine .....:D:D:D

Re: weather??
 

You just stay in bed period then Jen:D

Re: weather??
 

Just listening to the news ... 85% of British Columbia on fire alert! What happened to the Wet Coast weather .... and I guess some of that hot air mass slipped over the Rockies and into Alberta, where it met with cooler air and generated some monster storms with winds at over 100 km/hr .... one storm hit a country music festival, blew down the main stage: at least one person killed, and quite a few critical linjuries. Weather gone wild.

Re: weather??
 

Yep , the west coast (North America , not Blackpool) has been weird this year ,in my area we have had rain sprinkles, unheard of in July, clouds and fog not clearing until about noon and low 70s temps , Oregon and Washington seeing high temps never seen before

Re: weather??
 

We don't know we're born over here, one of the canary Islands it well ablaze too

Re: weather??
 

Been hot and humid here for a couple of weeks .... don't like it one goddamned bit ...

A few tornados touched down in Ontario in the past couple of days ....

Might catch the tail end of hurricane Bill in a couple of days ....

Re: weather??
 

My grandson is spending the weekend in Toronto then moving on to Niagra Falls.
I hope it keeps fine for both of you

Re: weather??
 

Thanks hon, might have thundershowers tomorrow, but it looks like a nice weekend coming up with temps in the low 20s .... as we speak, the humidex here is 39c ... dog days.:mad: Fall is just around the corner. The trees will turn, and we will have our version of the Illuminations .... love fall, my favorite season of the year:theband: Our weather is better when the wind is from the north or northwest ... good clean Canadian air ... when it comes from the south we get the cruddy pollution from the US, esp the coal fired generating plants in Ohio.

Re: weather??
 

Holy faeces ... there is a tornado warning out for Kingston and Prince Edward county:eek: .... I'll send you guys a postcard from Oz:D

Re: weather??
 

Tornado warning is over .... Toronto got hit pretty bad with storms and torrential rain ... 50mm in one hour .... town of Vaughan, north of TO declared a state of emergency, over 200 homes badly damaged ... we had quite the storm, but it looks like it's over for now ... still under a major thunderstorm warning for the rest of the night.

Re: weather??
 

Just seen pics of Vaughan on the news .... roofs missing, barns flying through the air, trees uprooted, automobiles rolled down the street .... and no one was hurt!!!! Amazing.

Re: weather??
 

Well at least Ossy has its good points Eric, we don't get that kind of weather, well not quite that is:rolleyes:

Re: weather??
 

A little bit of active weather makes life more interesting;):D

Re: weather??
 

And now it looks like Hurricane Bill will hit Atlantic Canada on Sunday ... seems like it will arrive as a category 2. Looks like it will get wild and wet on the Rock.

Re: weather??
 

On Sunday my Daughter flies out after her holiday here in the UK. For the last 5 years she has lived in Vietnam, but is now moving to Zhuhai in China, I just happened to mention to her yesterday about this new place and I said it isn't near where all the bad weather has been lately, quite calmly she said ya right in the middle:eek::eek::eek:

Re: weather??
 

I've just looked on google earth.
Be thankful that she is well away from, and not downstream of, Three Gorges Dam
Three Gorges Dam is a disaster in the making, China admits - Times Online

Re: weather??
 

The link is throwing a 404 at me Margaret, I know that this place where she will be living is in Guangdong province, never heard of the city or the Province. I'll google it myself and see if I can come up with

Re: weather??
 

What gorgeous weather we are having! Bright, sunny, nice breeze off the lake, going down to the low teens at night .... ah:mosher: And it will last though the week. Soon the trees will start to turn .... can't wait for Fall; beautiful season .... and hockey starts soon .... and the hunting seasons open up; and the fishing is still great .... will probably go out for duck and geese; but I think that this year I will shoot deer with my camera (finally decided to buy a good one, and to use it for something other than gathering dust).

Re: weather??
 

I just hate it Eric when your on bout your lovely weather when I'm looking out of my window at 10am lights on in the house and it p****** down:D

Re: weather??
 

It,s springtime in OZ,come on down!

Re: weather??
 

I look out of my window and see the Tinker brook has risen by fifteen foot overnight, after all this torrential rain.

:eek:

Re: weather??
 

Thanks a bunch ... but fall is just around the corner, and I wouldn't miss it for anything:D

Re: weather??
 

Hey, look at the bright side .. in a couple of months I could be up to my ass in snow:eek: Just got a Canadian Tire flyer today telling me of all the good deals on snowblowers and winter tires .... oops, "tyres".;)

Re: weather??
 

And while I'm here: right now, 22c, sunny, light breeze, humidity 70%, visibility 24k, ceiling unlimited .... bbq ready, beer in the fridge ... life is tough here in the colonies.:mosher:

Re: weather??
 

What a gorgeous night/Quelle nuit magnifique!

Re: weather??
 

Its all right for you Eric as I've said in another post my lecky was off all afternoon, when it came back on I noticed that, although my thermostat is set at twenty, my heating came on, looks like it could be a long winter

Re: weather??
 

Maybe Accrington Stanley would do better as a hockey team:D And today .... well, almost exactly the same as yesterday ... I'm going fishing.:theband:

Re: weather??
 

Tight Lines Eric:D

Re: weather??
 

Just an update: the weather here has been uniformly beautiful:D .... and the fishing is great:mosher: .... and the trees are starting to turn:) ..... and hockey is back:theband: ... life don't get much better than this.

Re: weather??
 

Its alright for you Eric I've just put my heating on this morning, I bloody freeing:eek:

Re: weather??
 

Talking of which ... just looked at the long range forcast. Next week we will be down to the low single digits at night .... maybe a chance of frost. But hockey is well into the pre-season games:theband: ... I really do look forward to winter. I'm still active enough to skate around the rink and shovel out my own driveway .... and then there is ice fishing.:mosher:

Re: weather??
 

woke up this morning (senses needing a caffine boost, not on full alert) opened the blinds to see what the day held and thought I had gone Blind , dense fog , smudgy grey everywhere ...finally cleared about 9am , the weather has been really good for the past couple of weeks low/mid 80s during the day dropping to the 50s (good sleeping weather) at night.

Re: weather??
 

Dense Fog SJ what about Sydney down under, I've heard of the Red Miss on a football field, but that was ridiculous

Re: weather??
 

its a bad wild out there today

Re: weather??
 

About 12-45 it was stair roding it down, it did bloody rain:eek:

Re: weather??

Re: weather??
 

Sleet, it was like the rivers of Babylon

Re: weather??
 

Just got back from Laughlin, 105 deg {40** like a blast furnace outside of the casinos. Now back home to sensible 20.

Re: weather??
 

A tad on the cool side ... and if there is precipitation tonite, it will be snow. Did some shopping yesterday and bought some long johns .... I like the ones with the flap:D But it is typically normal for the Fall .... after a few nites of frost, it should warm up to about 15c next week, an Indian Summer hopefully. The trees are looking fantastic in their Fall colours.:mosher: Time to get my skates sharpened.

Re: weather??
 

Steady lad .. you will be getting MargaretR excited again.. :)

Re: weather??
 

The flap's in the back, hon, not the front:eek:;):D Best long john scene from a movie: "The Shootist" when Jimmy Stewart examines John Wayne.

Beautiful Fall weather here in Kingston .... trees looking fabulous .... lots of sun, but with the clear skies, a little frosty at night. But who cares; hockey every night on tv:theband:

Re: weather??
 

Looks like snow will be here next week:theband:

Re: weather??
 

i was always told when i was kid: red sky at night shepherds delight, red sky in morning shepherds warning .. meaning it was going to rain if it was a red sky in the morning ..

so where was todays rain ...:D red sky this morning at 6.55am ...

Re: weather??
 

Not often you are right and you are wrong again.

Red sky in the morning - Sailors warning.
