Reply With QuoteDo you really want to hear what a nice, sunny (but very windy), just about getting too hot, but not quite there yet ride I had this morning? And the oh-so-lovely tan lines I've already established because I actually forgot my sunscreen last Saturday and burned my shoulders to a crisp? I didn't think you would...

Your Sunny Day
To disable ads, please log-in.
Oh, do tell me that the sun is shining SOMEWHERE out there. Tell me about your blue skies, not-too-hot-not-too-cold, the fact that you have to wear sunglasses outside, there is actually some sun for your sunscreen to screen...
My bike to work week goal is SHOT! Maybe tomorrow. The weather guys (who predicted "partly cloudy" today) say only 10% chance of rain. I don't think it's EVER going to stop.
I realize, however, that this is my fault because I (1) put my summer patio furniture out and (2) switched out my "shorts and tanktops" and "sweaters and long sleeve Ts" shelves.

Up until last week I could be heard saying "You know, I find that I really don't mind the weather this spring."
It was the OTHER yellow speaking, I'm sure of it.

Warm and sunny in Lincoln, Nebraska. Of course, I have stuff that absolutely needs to be done inside today.
You might try going out for a short ride, just to let the weather gods know that they can't intimidate the likes of you. It works.....eventually.

Well, after months of rain, including ALL day yesterday, I can actually see some blue sky out here on the N. Ca. coast, so here's hoping it is headed your way. Supposed to actually be warm and sunny this weekend.

I wonder if the silence from Kim and V is not a good sign. They're directly in our weather path.
Please tell us good stuff. I can see a patch of blue sky again.
OK, a good thing -- I can see one of those huge rust-colored dragonflies outside my window. They are a harbinger of summer for me. I feel much better now.

It's been sunny and warm so far this week here in Atlanta. I rode after work on Mon & Wed. The forecast for this afternoon is for scattered showers. Right now, it's sunny and 80 in my part of town and the radar looks pretty clear so I'm crossing my fingers for a ride tonight too.

I am in Gainesville Georgia north of Atlanta and it has been very nice lately. It did rain out my ride Sunday. I have been having horrible allergies this season though so I have to dope myself with Allegra or something before I leave on a ride and I curse everyone cutting there grass as I pass by!

I'm hoping Nuthatch will post that there is sun in her corner of the world. It would make my day to know that there truly is sunshine somewhere close to my neighborhood. We've endured a week of below normal temperatures - wind and clouds. I'm starting to lose my sense of humor not to mention the fact that my weather triggered migraines have been niggling their way into my world ...
There - I feel so much better for venting!
Thanks ladies

It's me again Yellow.......
remember me?...the one that lives in New Mexico the Land of Enchantment??...where yes, it's gorgeous, sunny, not a cloud in the sky - even the moutains have a slight blue tinge to them today. My lunchtime ride it was 81 with winds NNW @ 7. The predicted high today is supposed to be 95 but ya know our humidity is well...in the single digits most days!
Am I helping any hun??
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

South Bay reporting in
It's not all your fault yellow, I got my car detailed last weekend. I'm sure that is the reason it drizzled incessantly today!
But the good news is - I see blue sky this afternoon, with some of those big fluffy white cloulds. Weather Underground says clear and warm this weekend for both our areas.

Thanks, guys. Your sunny descriptions cheered me up! This nationwide weather report is way cool.
(I just ran into a friend/coworker in the hall and she got this big grin on her face and said "If it doesn't quit raining soon, I'm going to go out on the roof and start shooting people." Glad to know it's not just me! This is Kalifornia for crissakes!)
I believe the sky is a lighter shade of gray this afternoon!

Hey, y'know, when mine were acting up a few months back I thought those allergy meds were affecting my performance, as in having a "positive" effect. Hmmmmm...maybe there is something to this performance enhancing substance thing. But then of course I think of Red Bull and Crank e-gel as performance enhancing substances as well, at least for me!

Boohoo! T-storms today, as you probably guessed! But we had lovely weather earlier this week - and Saturday looks fine (so far). We need the moisture down here. Every rain storm this spring has mysteriously divided like the Red Sea around the Chicago area and we are bone dry. Originally Posted by Biking Chick

Those weather headaches are a pain in the booty - I almost fell over today with all the head pressure - it makes you feel all woozy and you can't think in a straight line either! But migraines - ugg, that's got to be the worst.
We've had alot of grey, cold weather just like you and I guess most of the Cali girls - it's mighty discouraging and anyone even slightly prone to SAD (like me) feels like getting in the bed and pulling the covers over their heads!!! And that April warm/dry spell was just a teaser!
