Low minus 5. Sunday .. Periods of snow developing in the morning ending in the evening. Amount 2 to 5 cm. Wind becoming southeast 20 km/h in the morning. High plus 1. etc.. My 2c Around here it's heading into autumn. Not much sign of the leaves turning yet but with the end of daylight savings it is surprisingly dark at 7pm. Mostly this means I don't have to look forward to (dread, that is) more days in the thirties (celcius).

No record breaking temps, but they have been close. We got up to about 92 F (32 C) the last few days... this was happening before spring started. Sweating my butt off in the winter just isn't right. <g> I hope that I will have my swamp cooler enabled any day now. In this old apartment, they have to manually come in and switch the ducting from the furnace to the cooler, not to mention to put the pads in the cooler and turn on the water. It has been intolerably hot in my apartment during the day lately, for that reason, but the nights are nice. I put the fan in the window when the temps drop outside (which they do pretty quickly after sunset, in the dry air) to pull the cool air in. It is pretty nice in the apartment now, at 5 am, but it will start heating up soon. We don't do daylight savings here in Arizona. The numbers on a clock are arbitrary anyway, so this makes a lot more sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I met him he kept his watch on farmer's time and just did the math to synchronize with the rest of us. As he got older (and now) he wears two watches during daylight savings time, one on his time and one on daylight savings time. -jypsy ________________________________ Ooops....Wrong Planet!

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 It was in the mid 40s celcius where I live today. Yesterday was similar and tomorrow is supposed to be similar. Disgusting weather for this time of year and not a drop of rain this month either which means the drought situation will be no better. My chickens got dehydrated so I made them fruit salad and gave them wet lettuce leaves and the rest of the birds got misted with the hose a few times. As for me, I have a migraine after today. I will have to drink more water tomorrow to stop getting one then too. CZ Klein wrote: > s wrote: > > >> Around here it's heading into autumn.
