And that's precisely why I waxed the car, got my personal hygiene products and got some sunbathing in during that +5 degree heat wave in February :rofl:
Trout season opens in 21 days over here and the way its looking right now I'll need an ice auger to cast a fly into something that isn't frozen over :crying:

Well, last night I slept with the widnows opened, but didn't have the a/c turned on.
I got away w/o a/c till about a half hour ago, and just now turned it to 78, just to keep the moisture out of the air.
Once we hit the full on 80's it's only a matter of time before the real heat sets in for its 4 month stay.
By 'real heat' I'm talking days in the mid to high 90's and night's in the 80's.
I am always very happy to hear that there is still cold air around on our planet.
Seems like my first 25 years or so, we had a kind of regularity in the seasons that has disappeared into chaotic turbulence and increasing usage of the word; biblical.
It's starting to give me nightmares.
For instance, only last night, I dreamed that I was caught up in a destructive vortex of orange fibers that smelled like hair spray. I had the windows opened.

Untypical colder day in central Texas today. Currently 43.
I don't mind. Soon, it will be fuckin' hot (an official weather term around here) for months on end.
Good day for a movie and some hot tea. And, of course, a pipe! :

I worry about us getting the moon too heavy and causing it to change the dynamic of gravity.
I worry that I don't really know anything.
I worry that I worry too much.
Thank GOD, or ALLAH, or YAWEY, or Gaia, or Bhudda, that I have my pipe and some tobacco to help me try and relax, and just think about keeping my pipe lit and how good it tastes.
I've looked at clouds from both sides now.
I really don't know clouds, at all.

I've lived most of my life near the Pacific Ocean in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. From mid-October to April we tend to have rainy, drizzling weather, seldom freezing, but always with high humidity levels courtesy of the proximity to the sea. Usually the summers and early fall are beautiful. But I am starting to tire of the damp and cool weather that typifies the Pacific Rainforest for most of year.
Except during the summer, I want more sunlight but with cool temperatures -- perhaps upon retirement I will look to relocate to the interior of BC where I can fly fish with very close access and try for trout to my heart's content while sipping my pipes.

It’s been a long winter this year, 12 hour car journey in the snow. Can’t wait for Summer to come!
Damn, I guess I shouldn’t be bitching about having to clean the filters on my pool and fretting over the PH and all of that. ::

Thad been cold here, 50 degrees, but the last tends have been sunny and 60. It doesn't often get Texas hot here, but summer is plenty hot here.
"Real spring" seems to have sprung here in Auld Reekie (Edinburgh, Scotland), after a colder than usual winter. It is sunny outside, with a predicted high of 12 Celsius and a SW breeze of only 7 knots. So, I'm hoping to enjoy my first proper smoke outside whilst supervising the missus in her gardening!!
But never, ever should visitors expect to experience good weather here. Last summer we had a garden BBQ only once. And few are aware that since the Met Office records began the highest monthly average rainfalls (by a wide margin) are in July and August - peak tourist season. The best chance of pleasant dry weather would be in late May or early October.
