Dismal Start

SIKSUKR · 07-02-2009, 09:56 AM

The planet temps have altered far more severe(ice age) both ways for eons.Our miniscule snapshot of time here on earth cannot begin to measure weather occilations and patterns since we have only been measuring for 120 years.The weather patterns would and will continue to change whether man is here or not until our sun consumes itself like all of the billions of solar systems have and continue to do.Change has happened since way before our planets were formed and will continue till it's all sucked in to it's own blackhole.One needs to put these things into perspective timewise when talking about weather history.When you look at some stars they don't even exist because its taken that long for the light to reach us.Billions of light years away.(a billion years traveling at the speed of light.yikes)How's that for some positive thought provoking banter on another gloomy and cold day here in NE.Take that Al Gore

I am in full agreement with SS on this one.

People are usually pretty tolerant of rainy periods up our way. However, this rainy period has been so long and unforgiving, people are on the edge. I am a guy who loves weather, all kinds of it. And even I am on the verge of going postal. Anyone got any goats I can rent to "mow" my backyard?

There was a "year without a summer" in New England's history...does anyone know when that was?
Looking at the web cams, seeing the splats of rain on the lens, grey clouds and chilly temps, etc. But I have already changed reservations twice....that's it, I'm coming up next week, rain or no rain. It will still be a treat and a pleasure to be there.

It was in the early 1800s after a huge volcanic eruptions particles blocked out much sunlight lowering temps so a frost occured every month during spring and summer. I believe if memory serves it was 1815 and the volcano was in Indonesia.

Ok People......it is the Power of Positive Thinking.

I am heading up to the lake. Have not been there since Memorial Day (I know...shame on me!) My husband has been there a few more times than me. But anyway....I DO think this weekend will be a good one. Yes, a shower or two, but other than that, we are in for a good one. Sun, swimming, boating and everything that goes along with it. I am SOOOO done with being down from the weather. Are'nt you.

So remember....Positive Weather Thoughts Only!

Holy Schlitzmalt! It's...It's !!!

For all that is holy and mighty...It's raining !!!!

The system is heading south so Quick...turn off your bulge pump and pull the canvas! Fill your bilge with a gift from God!!!

Thank you eillac!!! Your positive attitude has given us a miracle!

Well, I just looked at the web cams and I saw a little blue sky and a bit of SUNSHINE. So I am heading up Monday morning along with my positive attitude. Can't wait....yay !!!!

I am one of those slightly insane scrapbookers. We had so much rain last summer during our two weeks there that I had to put it in the scrapbook. We simply ran out of things to do which is a near disaster when you have a bunch of teenagers vacationing with you.

I am attaching the layout and praying for no repeat come July 25th to August 9th!

I'm afraid this summer is toast and not the warm variety.
