In the morning I HAVE to have all the windows and doors closed. Due to the incessant cold and rain. As the cold gets worse I turn on the heating soon enough Wanna swap?

A friend of mine in Germany emailed me today and asked me if I wanted to trade weather also, said it hasn't been as cold there in thirty years.

Stryder1978 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 A high of 42 today with a rain/snow mix. I think I'm looking forward to my trip to Iceland next week just for the warmer weather! 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chillumpuffer Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Same as @JTM. Glorious this morning. On went the Golf attire. By 9 o'clock it was off. Still warmish but I can see the impending clouds coming over the hill. Another shite summer me thinks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryder1978 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 It rained all day yesterday...which then turned into snow about 1500 hours. Snowed all night and I woke up to 3 inches of snow on the back deck and yard. It is now officially in the Top 5 longest winter seasons (first snow event in Sept) in Colorado history. Thank God the streets were just wet as the temp only dropped down to 33 degrees last night! We expect a rain/snow mix all day today and a high temp of just 41 degrees.

They'll damage your roof, create leaks, and if you need to maintain your roof you have the damn solar panels in the way. He recommends only putting solar panels on outbuildings, patio covers, or garages that aren't attached to your house. If new construction then that is different. He says they engineer the area where the solar panels will go so as to not be a problem with future roof maintenance. What is the point of saving a few bucks on electricity and spend thousands on water or ice damage due to shoddy solar panel installation. Out here in California those solar panel companies all offer "lifetime guarantees" on their work.... then they go out of business in 6 months faster than a mattress store like which can give you queen rv mattresses in a strip mall. Mountain lions are beautiful and NASTY creatures. We have plenty around here, they love to eat people's dogs, but have attacked several hikers and mountain bikers too. I have no problem with drilling for oil. Here in SoCal 100 years ago the entire landscape was covered in oil wells. California was a major oil producer long before Texas or the middle east. We had a gold rush here in 1849 that put us on the map and made us a state, but it was the oil boom that really made southern California and especially Los Angeles a boom town. There are still some wells here in areas, and still some refineries that the state hasn't shut down. Lots of good jobs in that industry, a great part of our tax base. And where there used to be old wells along the beach area, there are now 10 million dollar homes. Seem the planet isn't offended by oil production. The planet made oil--- it is one it's children. Too me oil wells are beautiful. It is the windmills I hate. Those things kill more birds than oil wells kill other wildlife. take care Leave the things on its own and leave Alaska the hell alone. Bad enough how the Gulf of Mexico look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Climate change has royally fucked the weather in the UK up immeasurably. When I was growing up summers were long and warm, winters cold and snowy. My early years we would be in the garden or out and about in the summertime. Now it's grey and wet all year. Never too cold though which is only a small blessing. As I always say the ONLY difference between the seasons is that in the summer you can enjoy the grey for longer as the (sun) sets later.
