Re: Re: It was Hot Today!!!

[Guest guest]

We have gone from 108 to 94 in the last two weeks. Our low tonight is at 60.

Some low.:-)

We are in the Reno/Tahoe area. We had some thunder storms that were better

than the fireworks show on the Fourth of July! :-) Not much rain but a lot

of light.

The sky was beautiful and it seems that all week we will see the same. It is

like a painting in the evenings; it draws us all out on to the lawn to view

the sky.

we have not had any rain to speak of. How is it where you are from ? >>

Here in land it has been unbearably hazy, hot and humid. It hasn't

rained here for about a month. The grass is dry and yellow and looking like

straw.

We need a good soaking rain not a quick thunderstorm.

I pray for someone to do a rain dance. lol

Helen one word of advice. Be very specific on the amount you want it to rain! A

few years ago my daughter lived in Salinas CA where they were experiences the

worst drought in history. Many churches got together and prayed earnestly for

rain. And rain it did... And flood it did.

The more I hear about or experience weather from other parts of the USA I am

more and more sure that the weather in the Pacific North West, (Western

Washington and Oregon to be exact) are blessed with the very best.

We normally only get close to 90 a couple of times a summer and even those rare

times it cools enough at night to sleep comfortably. Today for example it is 83

and it was 52 last night. It does rain but that is what gives us the wonderful

green trees and lawns and flowers. There is usually a breeze which helps keep

cool too.

Yes it rains in the winter but it is easer to drive on rain than on ice and

snow. Yes it rains in the spring, fall and summer too, but we have compensated

by growing webs between our toes!

Sure I can see a volcano from my home but the ash from that volcano make the

soil rich with nutrients. We are close to the beaches and rainforests and by

traveling East over one of the many passes we can experience the blistery heat

of other parts of the country.

Perhaps I have given out far too much information. We usually tell people from

outside the state that is POURS all the time to keep them from moving here to

Washington State. Visit, leave your dollars but don't move here!

Hi Katy,

I will take cold over heat any day!

You can always put on more clothes but one IS limited (or in my case, should be)

in how much clothing you can remove.

I am also thinking of tender spots which would get sun-burned if we took off too

many! OUCHIES!

I'm just hoping we get a good amount of soaking rain not torrential just a

few days of a good, steady rain. The weatherman on a D.C. station said from

land down to Georgia needed it.
