So what the heck? I get down to Chihuahua (4 hours south of El Paso) and they have their first two rainy days of the year. Real rain - the kind with thunder and lightning and hail (see pic). Meanwhile Seattle is having what passes for a heat wave in the pacific northwest. Damnit, Seattle, I want my sun back!

Send it my way! It's the end of May and I'm still cold! It's only about 70 degrees, and overcast and breezy. Brrrr. When does the 80 and 90 degree weather get here?

It get over 110 degrees in the past few days. Today we get a nice 92

I agree, 80s would be ideal. It can drop down to 70 for the hour or two I need to spend mowing the lawn each week, but then I want it right back up at 80. I keep checking the trees for thermostats, but apparently someone decided I'd keep it cranked up too high all the time if I was given one. :biggrin:
 
70's are perfect for me, when it gets 80 or above it's uncomfortable.
 
you guys are so lucky! :cry: last summer it got to 118! We're expecting no less this summer either!
