WEATHER II: Hell on Earth

[Thad]

Last night I slept in sweat pants because I was cold.

This morning I made myself a hot cup of coffee (not iced).

We still may not have had our last 110-degree day (current forecast high for Sunday is 113), but we're close. Summer's almost over.

[Thad]

It never did get back up to 110, but it got back up to 105 and it's pretty much stayed there, give or take a couple degrees.

At least the mornings are nice.

[Thad]

Phoenix sets record with 144 days of 100-degree temperatures or higher — and there's no end in sight

For those of you not keeping score, it is the middle of October.

[Yoji]

Alexa, play the soundtrack for Deserts of Kharak.

[Thad]

Well, now that it's November I think we can safely say that the 100-degree days are finally behind us, but the 90-degree days aren't; the forecast calls for highs of 92, 92, 92, 95, 91 this week.

It did get a little chilly last week, enough to wear long pants during the day and a coat at night. Not cold cold, but highs in the 60s and lows in the 50s.

Then on Saturday it got muggy as fuck and acted like it was going to rain but then didn't.

Still holds, but at 98 today was the hottest November day we've ever recorded.

[Thad]

High of 59 today.

Supposed to be back up to the 70s by the end of the week, which is nice because skipping straight from the high 90s to the low 60s kinda sucked. It would be nice to get some actually-nice weather in there. I mean, 59's not bad, but it means if I spend 20 minutes outside past sundown my asthma will start kicking in.

[Silversong]

Snowing all day, end of April. Supposed to go all night too. The trees and bushes are covered and it's starting to stick to the grass. Forecasted to get 1 inch of snow. Supposed to be in the 60s on Friday.

[Mongrel]

It is snowing. Sideways, heavily, and it is sticking.

Fuck off Canada.

EDIT: Holy crap almost a year to the day.

[Silversong]

Some people still don't have power from the ice storm a week ago, and now we're having a thunder-snow-storm with 6-10" of heavy, wet snow and high winds. Just watched about a third of the tree outside my house break off under the weight of it. The city sent emergency texts to every phone begging people not to drive.

[Mongrel]

Yeah, we got the same thundersnow up here too.

Man, what is it with trees trying to get brontos?

Revenge?

Man, what is it with trees trying to get brontos?

One of the houses I lived in was hit by two trees while I was living there, and then was hit by a third after we moved. My mom swore up and down that the trees were trying to kill us.

[Silversong]

Well, there's a ton of branches out there and they all missed my house and my car, so I guess they are content with giving me allergies.

[Mongrel]

This was years and years ago, so I always forget which of you guys was sitting in a car when a tree section randomly broke overhead and a huge branch punched through the roof of the car, completely impaling the empty seat next to them.

Mighta been B34T? I know it's someone who doesn't post much or at all anymore on the forums (no idea about FF).

[Sharkey]

That was Thor, but that shit might have happened more than once for all I know.

[Mongrel]

I can see trees having a nasty enough beef with the God of Thunder that they'd try to strike him down, yeah.

[Joxam]

I spent a grand in november to have a guy inspect and trim all of the trees in our yard and during all the storms this winter we're the only house on the block that hasn't had trees or limbs down. Shit was expensive as hell, but it worked.
