The Weather.

It's a six day getaway but two are travel days. We made it down in 12.5 hours. Going home usually takes little longer with New Jersey/New York traffic.

6 days sounds nice. Travelling for 12 hours must be a bit tough so make the most of it.:p

The wind is howling and everything is being blown away. My TV isn't recieving all the channels due to the satellite dish that is moving due to high winds.

There will be no walk for me and Shyva today.
 
The breeze is making it a little too cool for me, here on the beach. I'm in long sleeves with a towel covering my legs. I should have worn my jeans. Socks would be nice, too, lol. Of course, everyone else is in a bathing suit.

It was seasonably warm today, though a bit cloudy for most of the day. I think we are getting rain tomorrow, or perhaps later in the week.
 
Why the hell is it so cold?!

London and South East England
Forecast Summary
  • Today
    A dry, bright but cold start. Showers will develop through the morning. The showers will be of rain, hail, sleet and snow. Some of them will be heavy with a risk of thunder through the afternoon. Breezy, especially near showers.

  • Tonight
    Wintry showers will largely die away through the course of the evening. Clear skies will allow a frost to develop in places.
 
Seriously. And why the hell do they even bother with long range forecasts. We were told March April and May were going to be above average. They lied. April has been yucky.

Yikes, Moll. And KLS, I agree. I had to put my heat on the other night. And they just turned off our gas fireplaces for the summer, lol. I could have used that the other night.

Blech, it's been gloomy all week. We haven't seen the sun since last week. :( More of the same for today and tomorrow. Plus, it's a bit chilly. I had to turn the heat back on last night.
 
I am beyond annoyed.

Me, too. This stuff makes me cranky! It started pouring while I was driving home from work. UGH. I want warm spring weather. People at work were dressed in wintry gear. It' s May, for crying out loud! I want to see tulips and forsythia and all the pretty spring flowers.

I agree. I saw people in boots and sweaters all week. I wore my black turtleneck yesterday. I refuse to wear the boots, though. I went sockless, too, but my feet were cold, lol.
 
Yesterday was so bizarre here in NE Minnesota. The temperature kept climbing all day, til it reached...I kid you not...95 degrees F. IN EARLY MAY! It was a record high for here. It didn't last though. Just as I left work to go to the store, the skies darkened and menacing clouds moved in. Thunder and lighting ripped through the sky and a tremendous downpour was unleashed. I was soaked to the bone! It was a cold windy rain too, and thick raindrops, and of course I couldn't run due to my rib injury. The lights in the store went out and we all shopped by emergency lights. I left the store and there was several inches of water to wade through in the parking lot. It was scary. By the time I got home just fifteen minutes later the sun was back out and no wind, but it was a little cooler. And there had to be at least a hundred seagulls flying irratically in the sky, crying and carrying on. All the birds in my neighborhood were acting crazy and wild. The robins, sparrows, black birds, all carrying on and flying maniacally from tree to tree. I think they were as excited and weirded out as I was!

Wow, that's some Florida weather there! Glad you're ok, that can be hard to drive in!

It has cooled down a bit now, but it was really warm earlier.

London and South East England
Forecast Summary
  • Today
    Many areas staying dry with bright or sunny spells, especially across more eastern parts. Very warm inland by the afternoon. Just the chance of an isolated thundery downpour during the afternoon, mainly across western areas.

  • Tonight
    Remaining dry through the night with some good clear spells. A few mist patches may form, but the east to southeast breeze should keep most places clear.
 
Another boo-hiss day today but at least there's a glimmer of hope for the future.
