I had these little, tiny, pinpoint drops of... water... on my windshield today, and the papers and the TV news are touting the fact that we have our first rainfall since like May.

It is 75 degrees inside my house tonight and I feel COLD!

I can hear your teeth chattering from here

I hate you all Its done nothing but rain here all summer...

Currently 47 F and has rained off/on all weekend.
But it always does on LDS Conference weekend

I've always wondered what would happen if a tropical system ever hit So Cal.

But then again, I'd never wish that on anybody, especially my friends & forunites in So Cal!

Isn't that what Spock did in his youth? LDS? At least that is what Capt. Kirk said in Star Trek IV.

I love it!! It's much better than the 102 degrees F that we had in my area on Wednesday!

Got that right, Joey. I'm pretty sick of the heat right about now.

I was at the Dodgers NLDS clincher game last night. Lots of dark clouds, but no rain. It was about 65 degrees at game time. You should have seen all the fans wearing winter coats, scarves, and hats. The rest of the country must think we're wimps.

It's raining today here in Montana, just south of the Canadian border, 55F. In another month or so, we'll get in to the cold part of winter, -30F to -50F. I need to get the new water line to the new well in before the freeze. Only have to bury 'em 7ft deep to keep from freezing here...

Minus 50 degrees?

Do you go out, say shopping or work? Driving must be fun.

I was in Iowa once, it was minus 9. I was there on work-related training from Hawaii, where I lived at the time. I walked the two miles or so from hotel to lab. They all thought that was not unusual. I thought it inhumane!
I'd get back to hotel and shiver myself to sleep!

One must acclimate oneself. We've been 90 to 100 degrees for quite a while here, so 75 degrees feels chilly!

Yeah, -50. Last winter was warm, we only got to -38F. We have a ranch up here, so yes, I have to go out and work in that, the animals have to be taken care of whether I like it or not.

Shopping isn't too bad, people just leave their cars running (a few places have outlets outside so you can plug in your block heaters), if you shut 'em off they may not start 'til spring. Of course there's not many places to go shopping in this little town of 1800 people.

Actually, we get the best of both worlds, in July & August, 100+ isn't unusual...

Cool old vid!

Speaking of cool, rain's ending here 52F, snow is predicted for Thurs. I guess winter's coming a bit early...
