It's 100% totally, completely clear(!) Haven't seen the sky so blue in a long time. Was only 38 this morning, brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Predicted high 65, a little below average but we'll take what we can get at this point.

Know why there's not a cloud within 500 miles of here this weekend? No car shows scheduled, that's why. The way it's been, if there was a show today it would NOT be clear, it would be raining. Guaranteed. But I'm not bitter ;)

You're lucky.
I don't need a show to go for a rip.
I just need it to not rain everytime I finally get a chance to pull the cars out. Yes...... I AM bitter. :BangHead:

Honestly, shows aren't really my thing but it's a good place to b.s. with other car guys and see what others have built. Show or just go out for a drive, the rain this year has always been exactly when you don't want it.
Have only ever taken my car to work once (last year) and would like to every once in a great while but I just can't trust the weather. Could be totally clear and sunny but next thing you know, POOF, a big dark cloud rolls over and dumps rain even when the forecast was 0% chance of rain. Come to think of it, the past 2 or 3 years have been like that. At one time, you could trust in August that it wouldn't rain hardly at all, it would be hot and dry. Maybe summer 2016?

We had a balmy (sarcasm intended) 38 just before sunrise but it warmed up pretty good. Now at 3pm it's 70 and not a cloud anywhere.

In August you have to get out and do things early before it gets too hot, now you have to wait until it warms up enough to do things outside, lol.

Yeah, the melting polar ice caps...........Oh wait, the latest satellite data and images shows the ice caps are larger now than they've been in 25 years. Funny how they can melt yet, get bigger at the same time isn't it?

I like the climate change today. Kind of cold this morning (43) but it warmed up quick and at 5pm it's 81 degrees 18%(!) humidity, light breeze and clear blue skies. Pretty much about as perfect as a person could ask for. Tomorrow is supposed to be a carbon copy. Even the weekend is showing clear and low 70's. Funny how the best summer weather always comes the last couple weeks of official summer. Fall starts next week (already) :(

As am old friend of mine said, the whole world is conccerned with global warming. In Canada, we welcome it. You would too, if you had to go through a Canadian winter.

A Wisconsin winter is nothing to look forward to either! lol Well, southern WI isn't so bad, northcentral WI (where I'm at) pretty much sucks and if you go to northern WI in winter,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,you have serious mental problems :)

No winter today though(!!!!) Mostly sunny and 86 degrees. Kind of breezy but not excessive.

Last whimper of summer here.
It was warm and muggy today but it's not supposed to last.
Fall style weather in store for the weekend.

Not really weather but time of year,,,,,,,,,,,,I'm already not liking how early it gets dark. Had to shut it down outside just after 7pm because I couldn't see what I was doing (yard work) anymore and now it's almost pitch black and not even 7:30 yet. WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Suppose it's better than late December when it's pitch black by 4:30..................................Good old winter. Drive to work in the dark, drive home in the dark, feel like you're ready for bed and then you look at the clock and it's only 6pm.

Seems summer is hanging around yet, and that's a very good thing. All last week it was pretty darn nice with highs anywhere from 68 up to 87 degrees, mostly sunny, not too windy,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH. Think it was Wednesday(?) got a couple gully washers that rolled through, total of around 3" rain. The next 7 days don't look too shabby either, especially for late September. I'm focused on next Saturday and it BETTER stay like it shows with no rain. Car show that day just a few miles from home, I'm pre-registered and once you get to the end of Sept. around here, the car show season is more or less done. Since literally every single show in the area has been rained out this year, we deserve to have one go on as planned. It has to be, right? Just nod and say yes, lol!

We're into the colder than bleep at sunrise but then it warms up quick. Was 43 at 6am when I got up (45 minutes before the sun comes up, grrrrrrrrr), by 9am it was low 60's and noon low 70's. Down side is it cools off as fast as it warms up :( Sunset is about 6:45 and yesterday it was 71 then and by 8pm it was already down to low 50's. Sigh...................................

P.S. Why is it so hard to get out of bed in the morning, at the same time you always do, when it's still pitch black out? If the sun is out, no problem. Probably same as when it's light out until 9:30 in summer you aren't tired but when it's dark at 4pm, can barely make it past 6? Something to ponder, lol!
