hows about I tell you it's sunny and gorgeous?? - sky that robins-egg blue you can only seem to find here in the southwest with not a cloud in sight! Truly a clear crisp day (with a current temp of 34 down from 39 just an hour ago...I am NOT looking forward to my commute home)

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!"

Ah CorsairMac you never fail me, although 34 is not that warm girl. If I'm going to fly half way across the country it better be a heck of a lot warmer than that.
As for Zub Zub should we tell her what happens when she mocks the New England TE girls.
It may snow in New Zealand for the first time in summer.
Actually Zub Zub I'm a big fan of New Zealand. My brother flew for the Navy out of Christ Church to Antarctica and I've always wanted to see the gardens of Ohinetahi. Enjoy your summer, CorsairMac and I will get get you back.

How nice of that silly storm to veer out to sea! It's a gray but so far dry day in the Boston area (although I did hear that there is some of that white stuff over the Cape)...
I'm hoping for dry roads for the weekend (and yes, I know it's a few days away yet and the weather forecast that far out is suspect) so my bike & I can roll down the road together!

Um, it's supposed to get to 29°C in Christchurch today and it's not even a Nor'Wester!
Never fear, I'll get my comeupance for bragging - that's twenty degrees warmer than the warmest day in London for ages and I may quite literally melt. Sure will be nice to bust out the shorts though...

Surly Help!
The high today isn't even going to reach 32! There's apparently a "polar express" that's come down thru the southwest and has dropped temps 30-50 degress below normal. I don't wanna be here anymore - I wanna go live with the NZ gals for the winter! lol I just kept telling myself on my commute this AM it Would get better and somebody, Somewhere was having colder weather than me!
I promise you'll be the first to know when it warms back up again - probably sometime in Jan when you're buried so deep in snow you can't leave the house!

CorsairMac it appears we have a couple of wise guys from down under who have not heeded the warnings. (makes mental note to rib them in July). I think I have you beat today. It was 18 this morning when I got up and didn't get much above 25 all day and now the wind is honkin. More snow on Friday. Maybe New Zealand for the winter. I'd love to see their faces if we showed up at their doors, dressed to the hilt in winter gear. Hee Hee

Ok Corsair I had to go to the online conversion site to work out your temp in celsius and man thats cold. I thought riding here was getting cold but hey that is some serious cold air you got down there in NM. Im still learning about where what state is and its associated weather but I always imagined New Mexico as warm. Ha just goes to show how much I know about the USA weather.

Frozen in Maine
currently 18 F (-8 C) and its way down to single digits tonight. no significant snow yet here but the wind is picking up so the temperature will feel even colder.
if it gets balmy again like it is by CorsairMac i'll be out on the road again!
for now it is all indoors.... yoga and spinn class and weight lifting!

Yes, Corsair, it's a-headed your way. Check out these temps from Wyoming last night. This is the "Arctic Blast" that's making its way to you and dumped a ton of snow on us last night. Originally Posted by CorsairMac

And for you northeasterners, this is cold to us! (Especially my recently-moved-from-California butt.)
