The Weather Thread

[SToNeR ChRiS]

Watching the Aussie open now (tennis) which also so happens to be in Melbourne. The players, as well as the fans, seem to be struggling with the current temperature... 104 fahrenheit/40 celsius

Long time no see, Chris...how and who have you been???

Long time indeed my friend. There have been several speed bumps in the past year of my life but nothing that hasn't made me stronger as a person. I am currently very close to realizing the goals I have set forth for myself and therefore in response to your question, I am both happy about how current events are unfolding in my life as well as who I am becoming. I do not like coming on to my favorite (and only) weed forum bragging about sobriety, but for the first time in years, I am actually enjoying the feeling. It has only been a few weeks since I have changed my lifestyle so only the future can tell if this will be a lasting reality or just a temporary change but when it comes to the now, I am thinking clearly and doing great.

For the past few months I have been in contract talks with a resort/temporary housing community in regards to becoming their head Tennis Professional as well as taking over their Tennis Pro Shop. Because of this active lifestyle and a drive to be as good as I can be, weed, for once, has taken a backseat to ambition. I do not necessarily think I have to justify myself, but I want to make it clear that I still smoke from time to time, it is just far less in both frequency and amounts.

I am not sure if this was the type of response you were expecting, but this is my now! Of course there are always those more difficult days and there are still a few things to work out within my contract but I am certainly hoping for the best. I hope very much so that you have been in good spirits as well.

Hola malee, and welcome to the forums. Where are you from in Sri Lanka??? My closest chum here in Australia, Jayasiri is a sri lankan...So I have learned much of the place and people and culture over therse last few years we have worked together.

Last night the feel like temperature got down to -60 degrees Fahrenheit. I'm ready for this bone chilling cold to be over with. Last summer it got to 105degrees Fahrenheit here. That's a 145 degree difference in a matter of six months.

Broke a 75 year heat record here yesterday. It was 12C at the end of January! All the snow we had melted and it looks like spring out there...except it isn't

[weedguru_animal]

As seems to be coming in intervals, the last few days have brought some much needed rain to the soil and soul of the city. Cooling the air and temperaments, likely in preparation for another soon to appear solar onslaught...15-22ish, then climbing closer to the 35c+ region midweek. Just in time for my 34th birthday. And higher...check your PM box please.

In a blizzard here. Whole town is shut down for today and tomorrow. Everyone is drunk.

That sounds like my kinda scene, CTCF. Undoubtedly its connected to my anglo blood and chilly upbringing in the countryside, but I have always adored the extreme cold, especially when the blizzards come. There is something so magically soft and delicate and magical about walking in the snow during night or in daylight, especially when you are immersed in nature. Its like nature, below, in front and above, all around...nature and you, as one. Lovely. Add in the vodka to warm the innards for a different kinda glow.

That horrid heat has returned...its 946pm and still the mercury says 27C. Still, I best grit my teeth and get on with it, for far worse is set to arrive over the weekend. we will be up to the mid 30s by the close of play on SUnday, then who knows eh??? We will all be cinders before March at this rate.

It's cold. I hate Iowa so much right now. It'll snow, then melt, then get into the upper 40s, the drop down to 10 degrees and snow again.....blarrrrg.

[weedguru_animal]

After yet another nasty streak of too hot weather (33C at 10pm) with hardly a respite during the day, the temperature plummeted 10-15C yesterday, which was a delight for both the hound and I, but less so for the natives, who seem to baulk at anything other than hot or scorching. Today was mid 20s and beautiful sunshine, the perfect setting for my hour or so of football on the grass near the Yarra river. Afterwards I felt like I could have played all over again...that feeling lasted until I sat down for a few minutes, then arose from my pue to find my legs aching like hell and a steady succession of fatigue waves washing over my shoreline.

Try coming north about 300-400 miles. It gets a ove zero for a couple days then falls below zero for a couple days. This goes on for about 3-4 consecutive months depending on the winter.

[weedguru_animal]

several horrid nights on the trot where the temperature and/or humidity prevented any decent amount of solid slumber and then...the rain came, washing both the millipede down the drain and cleaning the streets of the scum and heat. As usual, its merely a brief respite. From 30+ down to 15ish, and soon enough we will begin once again succumbing to the onslaught of the cruel glare of our nearest star.

[cutthecashflow]

Still in the teens and 20s here. Cannot wait till the end of the month when things will finally start warming up for good.

[pkkupo]

^Really? Shitty man. We've hit consistent highs of 30 here in the twin cities. Fuck ton of snow though...
