I know your pain, I swear everytime I think of doing a project outside, it seems like rain pops up out of nowhere!..i hope it holds off for you. here today was absolutely perfect sunny and warm, I did sneak away from the shop for a longer lunch, and picked up a few things from the pick apart salvage yard, it felt good to get out there

Still below average for temps where i am. They checked the ice a few days ago on one of the lakes around duluth and still had 22" of ice and driving 4 wheelers on it.

First pic is from 4-17, second pic is 4-20... I am not amused...

Re: whats your weather like?

72 and gloriously sunny yesterday; really windy today; winter weather warning for tomorrow. Crazy, huh?

Re: whats your weather like?

I'm getting really sick of this wind. I had to chase my hat again today. It blew right off my head. I put my packages on the hood of my truck to chase my hat and my packages were blown all over the ground when I got back. And they were kinda heavy.

Paul,,Back when I owned that 82 Fiat Spider ,,I met a guy who also had one and he lived in Lancaster and he told me that the wind would blow so hard that sand would would be blown right under his garage door when closed into his garage.. not just a little but a lot.

Yep, we just got it today. Coming from the west, so makes sense. It totally sucks. Should be fun as I tear down and regasket the top end of my engine this weekend. At least it won't be 116, which is what caused the now-issue to begin with.

I get the same thing. I'm always sweeping it up and as soon as I'm done it doesn't look like I did anything.

Re: whats your weather like?

The dang wind ripped the vinyl top off of my hearse and blew crap all over the yard.

I noticed that the top had a crack in the vinyl. I guess that's all it took. It's not going to be cheap to fix.

Re: whats your weather like?

Weather is definitely doing unusual things . Yesterday I got caught in a sleet /snow/rain squall with the 72 . It’s 33 outside now and the wood stove has been lit for 3 days . Usually I have to lite it once or twice a week for the night and let it go out during the day . Not this year winter refuses to leave

Re: whats your weather like?

1 bit odd for us last couple days (and hopefully a few more) low 50's in morning, low mid 80's by lunch. Humidity is super low for us, below 80%. I am sure it won't last long. By Saturday should be normal again, high 60s at night and mid /upper 80s by lunch and OMG (normal) humidity again.

Cold and windy here yesterday and today. Looks like it is going to be that way for the next 7. Also, chance of rain for the next 3 days. Bummer for sure.

Re: whats your weather like?

We have a big high pressure system that is keeping it cool-ish but perfect. It is blocking the southern drift of warmth and moisture up from the gulf. Upper 60s and blue skies, close to freezing at night with frost. Perfect weather.

Last week at Carlisle it was also nice temps, 60s-70s. That Monday it had snowed. It had me double/triple checking the week's forecast, which kept showing decent weather just two days after the snow. I'm going to paddle on the Shenandoah today. Hope it doesn't snow!

45 degrees and a northwest wind at 45 mph. Almost four inches of rain overnight and it was welcome. Very little snow over the winter and no rain till now.
