Crap day today - mid-60s, thick overcast, gray day.  Score: 3/10.

 

Yesterday was nice, but the other days of this holiday weekend have been pretty wretched.  Local pools nearby have been empty - I don't remember ever seeing a Memorial Day weekend with empty pools.  Ridiculous.

 

Looking forward to some actual summer weather this week.  Bring on the 80s and 90s with sunshine!!!

Perfect Day...perfect weather weekend sans the wind on Saturday.

 

Looks like a very short return to the 90s late week (maybe 2-3 days) and then we're back to normal/near normal.

Memorial weekend was amusing in northern Virginia with the Park Authority having a hard time trying to decide whether to open the outdoor pools or not.

 

Ha ha they thought the water was too cold.

 

I have absolutely been LOVING all this chilly weather.

 

Too bad I get to FRY later this week in 90/70 weather, then I have to go back to visit south central Texas on June 4 and REALLY FRY in 95/75 conditions lmao

What a great 4-day stretch of weather we just experienced.  Easily, the best Memorial weekend weather in my recollection, and probably the best we'll see again in our lifetimes.  Dewpoints in the 30s on Fri and Sat was like a dream.  Sitting out on my porch Sat morning drinking my coffee I could close my eyes and easily forget that it wasn't a late October morning.  Reality (hell) returns starting today and the next 3 months probably can't go by fast enough for me.  Hope everyone who wasn't house-bound waiting-out the brutal dry mid 60 degree temperatures and bright sunshine got out and enjoyed an amazing holiday weekend.

Amazing weekend.  Anyone complaining should be flogged.  Family took a glorious hike in Patapsco State Park yesterday then we did a bunch of yard work at the In-Law's.  Warm/heat wave looks to have a defined ending on Sunday/Monday, so I'll just look forward to taking the first few trips to the pool of the summer.

Just a brutal weekend.  Awful, awful, awful.  I almost didn't survive the melancholy feeling those beautiful, clear, blue skies and the fresh, invigorating air caused in me.  I was so envious of hot, humid, hellish, sweaty, hazy conditions that I was just not in the mood for any fun this past weekend.  I much prefer to sweat without breathing, to not be able to see across the street because of the humidity, and to watch my grass turn a beautiful shade of brown.

 

:facepalm:  :facepalm:

 

Everybody enjoy the Sh*t storm the next few days are likely to be.  The sane among us, keep your fingers crossed that another awesome airmass can find its way down and crush the heat yet again.

Jeebus, I like all kinds of weather, but since when is highs around 90 a ****storm? Hyperbole much. Good lord.

I'm truly happy that you guys are loving the chilly spring, and enjoyed what most consider to have been a not-so-great Memorial Day weekend.  However, most people I have talked to outside this forum don't share this view.  The consensus outside the bubble here is that the spring has been miserable. 

 

This past holiday weekend is a perfect representation of what spring has been to this point: a rainy, raw Friday with afternoon temps 20+ degrees below normal and wind chills in the 40s most of the day, a still-windy Saturday with afternoon temps 15 below normal, a really nice Sunday with plenty of sun (but still too cool for hitting the beach without a jacket, or going to the pool), and a Monday that was overcast and gray, with afternoon temps 10-15 below normal with occasional drizzle.

 

I know many of you guys would love a summer with temperatures no higher than 50s or 60s everyday.  That's fine for the bubble here, but in the outside world, it's not so great.  We had a number of planned outdoor activities/jobs that had to be changed or canceled as a result of the weather this weekend.  We also had a couple of outdoor photo shoots that had to be postponed twice, because of the wind/rain on Friday, and the wind on Saturday.  I have side-work that relies on a reasonable number of nice weekend days in the spring/summer/fall, and of temperatures/conditions being comfortable not just for me, but for people I work with.  Not one of those people has said "what a wonderful spring".  Memorial Day weekend didn't need to be hot - mild 70s every day would have been great (and Sunday was truly an amazing weather day - was outside all day).

 

I probably have a different perspective on this because of the outdoor shoots that I do, and the limited number of late spring/summer/early fall weekend days that are available for this.  But if a mild spring/summer can be balanced with a mild fall/winter, that would be fine (though you guys will be complaining about that as much or more than the average person complaining about this spring).  :)

Dear Jesus...what sort of bizarro world are you living in.  I'll grant that Friday was chilly, but this weekend was NOT 15 below normal.  

 

We're going to have an above normal April and above normal May and that's still "chilly"?  And that's above the 1981-2000 "normals", which are a fair bit warmer than earlier versions of "normal".  Become a snowbird if sunny days with highs near 65-70 are chilly and miserable in May.  

 

Are you trolling with this nonsense or do you really think this?

Good grief man, grow up
