By now... it's usually well into the 80's, the humidity is creeping up, and the complaining about a long hot summer has started.

Today... it's 51 degrees at 11am with howling north winds producing wind chills near freezing. It was 36 this morning with wind chills as low as the Low 20's. Absolutely INSANE!!! There are Freeze Warnings just north of here for tonight... the average last freeze was a MONTH ago.

I just saw where there's a snowstorm in Michigan this morning. This is UNHEARD of. We're very close to records here and only expected to(if we're lucky) hit 60 today.

We got snow overnight and are to get more tonight and early tomorrow. I can't believe this year. I sure hope its not another cold rainy summer like last year.

I am soooooo tired of this. :mad:

I just heard my aunt in the North Georgia mountains had some snow this morning...

This is bordering on ridiclous. The strange thing is, Monday and Tuesday we were well into the 80's and it was HOT out. Now this... no wonder everyone's sick around here. :rolleyes:

LOL... you'll get yours, it won't be freezing cold, but it will feel very cold after the hot weather. How about Mid 50's for highs tomorrow? :lol:

Gosh Tripp we here in Colorado are still getting the white stuff on the Eastern Slope (I live on the Western Slope). But we need our water very badly and before long the heat will come down like a hammer anyway.. :wave: .

Oh yeah, Colorado - you guys are like us in Toronto - still can get the white stuff into this time of year (although, THIS late is a little unusual for us even).

As you say, it'll be soon enough where its hot and humid and we'll be complaining about that!! I guess I'd still rather this than a brutal heat wave.

Hopefully you guys will get some rain. The last thing you need are the summer wildfires out that way again. Hang in there! :wave:

Cleveland got 12.4 inches at Hopkins International airport*, and the suburban city of Broadview Heights got 21 inches!. *: As of 6 a.m. Monday morning this week.

Here's a picture of the Mentor, Ohio street I used to live on. I took it on Christmas Day 1995.
