This is more like it: RAIN!!

Carp, it just started raining here. I take back what I said earlier about it never raining in SoCal.

I love this weather! Only bad part is that I have to start working at 6 AM...

Too bad it's over the day after tomorrow

I wanted to keep this a secret, but I will just spill everything.


Last week, I did the heatwave dance and apparently it hit the region I wanted the heatwave to strike -- parts of the South.

Like heatwaves never hit the South at this time, Mr. Fun .

South London? No, actually, heat waves almost NEVER hit south London.

Well the way those weather guys announce heatwaves as if they were unusual -- even for this time of year, I thought these were higher temperatures than usual.

all temps are higher than normal. esp. in my city. We have more asphalt and concrete, millions of cars. All this combines to increase average temperates.

Every night on the news we are always above average. Winter, summer it doesn't matter.

We are always above the normal temps.

Because the normal temps include readings from 100 years ago.

There was no global warming back then, and cities were much smaller, and automobiles and A/C units didn't help heat the air.

Doesn't global warming take thousdands of years before it has significant effects -- other than changing temperatures by a half degree every hundred years?

Yeck, sounds like the Great Sandy Desert or the top of Uluru.

I think global warming is responsible for all the crazy weather we've had.

The desert in the southwest is even getting drier. The mountains in Utah and Colorado aren't getting as much rainfall/snowfall. The colorado river level is dropping.

Yet the east coast is getting drenched with rain. This 1 year after a low rain year where they were facing drought conditions.

weather should not change that quickly from one year to the next.

global warming is the cause, I'm certain of it.

Stan Laurel: I'm from the South too!
Oliver Hardy: The south of what, Sir?
Stan Laurel: The south of London

Extra points for putting Foghorn I'd say Foghorn Leghorn in there

I'm blanking out here. *POOF!*
