Can someone please turn the Broiler off?
Can't. It's a Maytag and the millions of ringing cell phones keep engaging it!

Send the broiler up here please. Our expected high for today is to be only 18 C (64 F) and the same for the next several days. Tonight the low is to be 5 C (41 F). BRRRRRR!

We have had a fairly mild Summer this year. If it weren't for the nasty baseball size hail storm in July it would have been almost perfect. Of course, spring didn't get started until late May. We had a ice and snow storm the first part of May then rain, rain, rain. We had about a week or so of 100+ temps the first part of July but then it cooled down to plesant 80's to 90's I think it hit 93 yesterday.
Today it's raining and about 67. Western Kansas had hail and storms last night, but so far today we have just had light rain. The weatherman is predicting we will get some of the moisture comeing up from the hurricaines. I need to clean the gutters again, but the roofers are coming next Tuesday and if I wait long enough they will do it for me.
I love fall, the smells, the mild temps. I do hate the leafs and the raking, but if you leave them long enough, like my neighbors have discovered, they will blow into another part of the neighborhood and you don't have to deal with them.
The only real bad part of this summer is we have only managed thus far to get one tomato. They were just starting good in May when the snow hit. Then they were just setting fruit in July when the hail beat them to the ground. They are just now recovering to start setting fruit again and. . .
My Mom says we are in for a bad winter, I think it's just good ole' global warming.

Matt & the rest of you cool cucumbers...
Like Lucy said to Ethyl when she wanted to know what Ricky was doing in Grace Foster's (played by the wonderful Gloria Blondell) apartment..."I CANT STAND IT (Ethyl) I CAN'T STAND IT! 57 degrees and it is still summer! On Friday, the temperature here was 118, the record was set back in 2005 at 116. I was here for that too.

predictions are, because of El Nino, we will havea wetter than average fall & winter--other than the ice, I cannot wait!!!
Cool here in Ohio
Only made it into the upper 60's today in Cinti. area (30 miles NE of downtown). Supposed to get down to 47 tonite. Afraid if it keeps this up, we may have snow by Oct., but sure hope not.

Cool here too
We have had a lot of rain this summer, not much heat at all

Overall, we had a cooler than normal summer. Oh, we had our share of "New Orleans" days, but fewer than normal. We've also had rain fairly consistently all summer. Usually, we dry up for a few weeks in July-August; grass goes dormant, etc. But not this year!
With the exception of the last week in July, I've had to mow once or twice a week. The lawns and gardens look great around here. I'm sure we've saved the city tens of thousands of gallons of water as there's been very little watering of yards and gardens.
The lazy side of me kinda missed the usual late summer month off from mowing, though, LOL.

One thing I miss about southern Calif is the Santa Ana winds. During fall, it can be 55 or 60ºF and calm at night, then all of a sudden this strong, hot, very dry wind starts blowing from the east, or sometimes north. It's almost mystical. It sounds like 1000 freight trains rolling over the hills and valleys, and it blows every bit of marine layer, clouds and smog away. All that remains are crystal clear jewels of the city lights.
Unfortnately we don't get Santa Anas here in Northern Calif. We have an equivalent wind event but it's much weaker, half the time you don't even notice it.

Well Jeff, guess it's time to move back then. ;-)
Here in LA, the summer that wasn't in certain parts of the city has become the summer that is (and for me the summer that just needs to go away). Happily it sounds like I will get my wish in a few more days.
We get so few hot days here I can suffer through it, I feel much worse for people dealing with these awful fires all around us. Even here in the city my car is black with soot and it's hard to breathe.

The hottest it got here was 90. Lots of evening showers,heavy enough to cause a few rock and landslides here.The mornings damp and around 70.Tradewinds keep most of the "Vog" (smog from the volcano) to a minimum but the hot summers I'm accustomed to, like Florida and Texas,are fea and far between.The only downside is the damned mosquitos!!
There was frost on the roof of my house this morning

Broke a record
NYC morning news station reported 21+ inches of rain so far this season, making it #3 wettest summer ever. Average temperature in the upper 70s still hasn't made it into the top ten coolest.
Anyhow, I made my reservations today to visit South Florida in November, after hurricane season ends!

I like it HOT!!!
The hotter the better. Bring on the century in the old scale and bake me baby! I am soooo over winter. Even though we've had a reasonably mild August with a couple of summery days, the nights are still freezing. As soon as the sun goes down so does the temperature.
The only good thing about cold weather is a comfortable, warm house. Warmth gives energy, vitality and appendages don't shrivel. My preferred attire are flip flops, a t-shirt and baggy shorts. You can keep your jumpers, skivvies, turtlenecks, lumberjackets, longjohns and business suits.
For all those here who lament the summer that never was - I wish that next year will be HOT for you in every possible way.
Here in Sydney as soon as the mercury hits the seventies lots of folk crank up their aircons and whinge. My advice is always the same - stop your griping, move to Tassie and let me enjoy the heat.
