The Weather

[Queen Octavia]

It occured to me that this discussion room was sorely lacking the most ephemeral and oft recurring of conversational topics. Namely the weather, of course, for by name of topic the topic's named.

The weather where I live is miserable today. Yesterday it snowed. Snowed I say! Little white fluffy things that were several months late, for winter was several months ago - I blame daylight savings time for the egregious offset. Global warming my foot! If this is the best it can muster than I shall be looking into forthwith purchasing a demi score of SUVs to nudge things along.

Then, upon quailling in dispair and retiring to my bedchambers, my restive rest was smashed asunder. By nothing less than mighty bellows of thundrous thunder! It did persist in failing to desist until my wits were in pits due to the noisy fits the weather did insist upon to plunder my slumber.

As if all that were not enough, when I finally had to crawl out of the security of mine home, 'twas freezing rain that greeting me upon the doorstep! Pounding down amidst the whipping wind, the path I trod was ice, coated thick all down the steep incline. I slid haphazard, half hazards flying past me as I flew accross intersections and lept over small animals barring my path. Of course of small animals stupid enough to be out in this dreadful crime against tourism there were none, so those were the half hazards I avoided. The cars, however, incurred a few chance collisions, but as I was going quite fast the duration of those impacts was minimal and the damage disregarded.

You may think that to be all fine and dandy, but soon at the bottom of one hill I was faced with the task of climbing the next. An impossible task to ascend this barrier. So there I stood, thought and pondered what to do. Then it came to me, in a heart attack of genius that could visit no other. The air being filled with water as it were, I need only swim to reach my destination. So swim I did, arms flailing, gasping for air between strokes, and making my way ever upwards. A few passersby in automobiles thought that I was insane, but since I thought they were fish the misunderstanding was forgiven.

Finally, I did arrive unto this chair to impart to ye the veracity that encompassed me when I deigned to see how the weather be. A tale spun true, and now I must ask you: How's the weather?

Tea or crumpets, anyone?

The weather is lovely here today. There's water pouring from the heavens, gided sideways bythe powerful forces of the wind god. The sky is as white as milk and far sights are clothed by mist. This al began 15 or so minutes ago and will probably end soon. A pity as this is my kind of weather.

After I weathered your post about the weather, posthaste did I attend to my post whether or not the weather could chuck wood if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

Which is to say that the weather's still being odd around here. I swear that for six months, two of which belonged to yesteryear, at least half of the time the wind had blown beyond twenty miles per hour, causing a lot of howling as it passed by the house. Before said months I may have only heard the howling of the wind once or twice ever... In a period of four years. O.o

We have a slightly chilly day today- well, chilly being in the 50's, and given the lovely warm days we've had recently, that is a little cooler than normal. It's cloudy and a wee bit drizzly as well. Real rain has threatened but not yet come to pass. Now that I'm home from work, it can do so as much as it wants. Now, please pass the chai.

[Musashi]

I dunno the actual temperature, but it's HOT here. It's like summer, and summer hasn't even started yet. But when it does, we'll be in like the 90's and 100's. And the humidity gets bad, so it's that really heavy heat, like you go outside and it feels like you're stuck under a smothering blanket.

*Siiiiigh* ...Crumpets please. >_>

[Queen Octavia]

*Passes out the crumpets and chai, and sets the tray and teapot on the table*

Feel free to help yourselves.

Guendolen's weather seems just the way I like it, not exactly sure what 50 degree weather is in metric speak, but it sounds pleasant. As soon as the weather hits 24 degrees C (75 degrees F) I start getting uncomfortable. If I ever moved south I'd have to live in a freezer ;p.

Wind is fun every now and then, but if it keep up for six months, why haven't you built a windmill yet =p.

[Mistress Guendolen]

It's just a little chillier than I like it, actually. My idea temperature is 60's to low 70's. Comfortably warm without being baking hot, but not needing a jacket either.

My perfect weather:

Around 40 Degrees F. Rainy. Windy. Cloudy.

You'd get bored of it if it were that way all the time though, right? I'd like the weather to randomly flop between these options, instantly switching at 6AM in the morning. (farenheit used for you ameerikeens)

1) 23 degrees, no wind, moderate snowfall
2) 60 degrees, windy, heavy rain
3) 68 degrees, nice cool breeze in the air, sunny
4) 50 degrees, windy as hell, cloudy
5) Something random

If this were true, then instead of mucking around with adjectives, we could just say "Man, it's #3 today, I HATE #3..." ;p

[Mitera Nikkou]

So... When the weather does a number two... What is that "heavy rain", exactly? ^_^;

Actually, I like the wind... When I'm actually outside. Although I prefer it during the hotter parts of the season rather than the colder, like it has been. I had to be outside one of those days, in late Autumn, because of the house being fumigated. I hadn't thought to bring my jacket... My time outside, with nothing to do but tolerate the chill of the wind, was not fun.

[Anamnesis]

I love the rain, especially the rain that falls in sheets, with large gusts of heavy wind...And when it is colder, too...So heavenly....

[Rowan]

I don't know if I'd get bored of my perfect weather.

I like dark rainy days. Its so comforting to be wrapped in the darkness of the day like that.

And I *need* the cold. I have little tolerance for heat and I LOVE being cold.

And wind is just awesome ^_^

Tea.

Insane weather doesn't seem to bother me, since I've backpacked in all extremes of weather in my life, so in day to day life, a bit of weirdness is acceptable in my routine. :O

Minnesota....

The land of frigid winters.......and humid, sticky, hot summers.

Fortunately, spring is a small reprieve, so it's not too humid nor hot.

Right now, it's pleasant outside, (don't have an exact temp) and slightly windy, but not enough to sting.

[Helel]

and humid, sticky, hot summers.

Define "humid, sticky, hot summers" for me, if you will. XD;
