81 F*CKING DEGREES.

[Bouncy Ball]

That's the high today. 81 damn shitty degrees. January 1.

Fucking A. I'm hot. I woke up sweating and the ceiling fan was even on.

I REFUSE to turn on the air conditioning in January. That's just unnatural, even here.

IT NEEDS TO COOL OFF, I can't take this much longer, I really can't.

[CatholicEdHead]

1. We are hanging out just above freezing here

which is shorts time up here. If it is January we can expect our Canadian friends to send some cool relief from the heat.

[Bouncy Ball]

4. Sounds LOVELY right now.

Sigh.

[u4ic]

45. Eh...not likely

;)

It was the same temperature here in Edmonton today...we've had an incredibly mild winter so far. Even the Yukon has been having a heat wave; instead of -31F temperatures, it's been around 17F there as of late.

[merh]

2. Do you have the miserable fog?

It is in the 70's here and the fog is so thick, it drips from the trees on to my trailer's roof like rain.

I had to turn on the a/c yesterday, it was too damp and stuffy not to. Having a head cold, I couldn't breath without it.

IT NEEDS TO COOL OFF and the FOG MUST GO!

Here is hoping for cooler days & wishing you a Happy 2006, Bouncy Ball! :toast: :hug:

[Bouncy Ball]

3. No, no fog. It's really dry.

Gad. And I have a sinus headache, too. Great way to start the year. It's been this hot for a couple of weeks now and I'm sick of it.

Thanks, Happy 2006 to you too! Hope your head cold goes away soon!

[merh]

5. thanks, I'm sure it will

If the damned weather would just get straight for this time of year. :argh:

Good luck with your sinus headache. :hi:

[SW FL Dem]

24. We were totally fogged in last night,

humid, 80 friggin degrees and no breeze. I hate this weather.

[merh]

30. We are still fogged in and I am miserable

I have to go out too! x(

Stay safe and cool!

Happy New Year! :toast:

[SW FL Dem]

31. You too!

It's no fun drivig in this stuff.

[JohnnyCougar]

6. I hate you...

Wahhhh!! 81 degrees...my life is soo hard! :P

It's 30 here...:scared:

[Bouncy Ball]

7. SERIOUSLY, dude, I would SO trade 81 for 30.

RIGHT now, I mean it. 30 sounds heavenly. It's no wonder people get so sick around here. It's 40 degrees one day, 80 degrees the next.

[JohnnyCougar]

10. I'll take it!

I'll be expecting my warm sunshine any minute now!

Time for me to get a tan B-)

[Bouncy Ball]

11. It plays hell with allergies, the drastic up and down temps.

Can I also send you my pounding sinus headache from hell?

[JohnnyCougar]

12. If you want to trade with my hangover, be my guest!

:P

[Bouncy Ball]

13. Mmm, maybe no thanks on that.

Although you just need to eat something nice and salty and drink a lot of water.

Have some Hoppin' John--rice, browned crumbled sausage, black-eyed peas, maybe some jalepenos.

I feel hungover and the strongest thing I had to drink last night was cocoa! LOL.

[JohnnyCougar]

25. The jalepenos sound like a good idea

There is nothing like a little spice to cure a hangover. My friends and I made plans to go to Checkers today, too (I believe it's called Rally's in other parts of the country). Man, their salty fries are getting my mouth all watery!

[yellowdogintexas]

8. Don't forget all the burn warnings..

don't remember when it rained last.
This has been a dry dry year.

[Bouncy Ball]

9. Yep, lovely. And we heard people shooting off firecrackers

last night. Assholes. Stupid assholes. When there's been grass fires all over the state, real smart.

[yellowdogintexas]

16. How are the Virgin Mary and St Joseph doing this Christmas?

Any visits from Fundies in SUV's about the ...you know...

[Tsiyu]

26. Are you thinking about the same story I've been thinking of?

Involving Joseph getting some lap action with Snoopy looking on? And Fundies pulling up and yelling at a sweet, but rather confused woman?

[yellowdogintexas]

57. the very one, come on, tell, tell tell. nt

[Bouncy Ball]

14. Ok, I gave up. I turned on the air conditioning.

I don't care. I couldn't sit here just sweating any longer.

[djeseru]

15. Air conditioning is on here too...

...gah, my allergies have been just hell this past week, so I completely know where you're coming from - southeast Texas? I'm up here in central Texas, *achoo-sniff* praying for rain... :hi:

[Flying Dream Blues]

44. Central TX here, too. Allergies and sinus headache from hell.

Can't wait for the next cold snap!

[Texasgal]

46. If it's any consolation...

I have had my air on for 3 days now... :(

I do agree... this weather SUCKS!!

[samplegirl]

17. Wow

Just seems to funny that its 81 there. Im rolled up in blanket with slippers on and still havent had the nerve to open last months gas bill.
Anyway its not bad here today around 44 degrees
and expecting rain.
A break from the heater running non-stop anyway.

[Deja Q]

18. 30 degrees here.

Let's both get nekkid and maybe the weather will become an even 55 for both of us. :rofl:

[Bouncy Ball]

19. ROFL.

I'd be ok doing that, but you might get a bit....cold. LOL!

[xmas74]

20. 64 here right now.

Surprising how good it feels!

[Bouncy Ball]

21. Quit your bragging, you!

[xmas74]

22. It had been down in the thirties.

Nice to turn the heat off for the day.

[SW FL Dem]

23. I hear you! My electric bill is 250 w/o running the friggin a/c

81 is unnatural for January. I friggin hate having to wear shorts to survive the holidays.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. I'm sorry, my dear Bouncy Ball.....

It's colder here in California!

Big storm headed in.......mudslides etc are predicted....

Wish I could send the rain on over to you!


:hi:

[Scooter24]

28. I know.

I had my fan on last night, woke up hot and turned the AC on. It's going to take forever for me to shake this cold with these huge temp jumps.

Beautiful windy day in Dallas though :)

[jpgray]

29. You are hereby authorized to send half of it here

Tomorrow. I work a double today.

[Left Is Write]

32. It's been raining here for a week. Literally.

Today is the first day is hasn't rained since Christmas Day, and it looks like it's fixing to do so again right now.

For at least three of those days, it rained around the clock, heavy soaking rains.

But still there isn't enough snow up in the mountains, and we'll be looking at continuing drought conditions this summer.

[sundog]

33. bouncy

my dear bouncy

:hug:

happy new year

[Bouncy Ball]

48. hi sweet patootie!

:hug:

[bigwillq]

34. Hi Bouncy!

Happy New Year! :toast: Haven't seen you on much! Hope all is well! :hi:

[Elidor]

35. Sounds like the warm pocket around Beaumont is spreading

I remember Texas near the Louisiana border in December years ago being very warm. (Oh, that sentence was a mess!) And the weather maps always showed that everywhere around us, people were freezing their asses off, but we'd always be in this little bubble of warm air that made the sandy soil smell fetid and rank.

[Terran]

36. It's 61 right now, 5:45 PM

in mid-Missouri...really unusual, snow or ice would be more likely. But things do vary here widely, so I'm not sure if I can blame global warming or not.

[Maestro]

37. I'm in shorts and a T-shirt.

and the grass needs watering. Is this winter or the end of spring? :crazy:

[Ellen Forradalom]

38. Where are you?

Texas? Oklahoma? Death Valley?

[Bouncy Ball]

47. Tejas, babee.

Let's see, it's 8 pm and it's 77 degrees outside. Yeah. And wind advisories and it's dry as hell. Any wonder Texas and Oklahoma are on fire?

[fortyfeetunder]

39. Well send it up here!

All we've seen here in Seattle was rain, last warmish day was Christmas Eve with a high of 61.

[GOPisEvil]

40. What we need is some damned rain!

My lawn is crusty. It looks like the middle of August.

x(

[Bouncy Ball]

49. Mine does too.

This is for shit. It's STILL 77 degrees here, and it's a few minutes after 8. Ridiculous. I mean, I know it's Texas, but it's not normally like THIS.

And the wild swings in temperature are worse than I remember as a kid. Temps were fairly consistent back then. I don't remember swinging from 40s to 80s in one day a lot like we do now.

[Fox Mulder]

41. 24 degrees here in MN.

I'm freezing. :(

[Bouncy Ball]

50. God, that sounds lovely.

Of course, I'd probably cry after several hours of that. But wow. Mmmm. Going to stick my head in the freezer for a few minutes. I'll think of you. LOL.

[DawgHouse]

42. Oh I loved the high temp today in Orlando.

We even took a short ride in the convertible with the top down. :)

[Wapsie B]

43. Is that another standard of measure?

I mean there's Fahrenheit and Celsius. Never heard of the other one.


;-)

[Bouncy Ball]

51. Shitty degrees? Yes, it's a new one I made up.

You use it to calculate temps that are WAY off for that time of year and thus make everyone miserable. It sucks monkey balls, this.

[Wapsie B]

53. I can't imagine it being that warm on New Year's.

But then I'd take that over below zero. The one benefit of having bitter cold is that you can throw a woolen quilt on the bed and sleep like a baby.

[ikojo]

52. Where are you? Here in St Louis it got into

the 50s...I went on a ride with the scooter riders group. It was sweet.

[Bouncy Ball]

54. Texas.

Sigh.

[mwdem]

56. I hear you!

I moved here in August, and it's a tinderbox here now. I do love the warmer weather though.

[Hardrada]

55. Ye Gads!

[yellowdogintexas]

58. we had grass fires all over the place yesterday. Smogged

over the sun, you could smell it everywhere, ashes drifting from the sky.

One of the fires was in Benbrook, not too far from here.

[Redstone]

59. I'm with you, BB. 81 is too hot, January or no January.

Redstone

[2bfree]

60. Same here..........

But I am LOVING it!
