I'm sitting here damp and steaming because I've been sitting out in the rain.
Half an hour ago it was 95f, not a breath of wind, and the sky the colour of a dirty blackboard. I was dyin. And now it's peein down rain. Great big fat drops smacking down on us. Ohhhh, God is great.

I was reading yesterday morning that Ozz was having a ruff time. Either heat or drought, I can't quite recall which. Either one will leave you thirsty, I suppose.
Hope the rain brings ya some relief Swanie.
Good luck.

Rain, ice, whatever....send some of it our way! Since our storm at Christmas, we haven't gotten any more. We're drier than a popcorn fart!

Heard it's been hades your way. Here, three days ago it was 15f with ice + snow and today, 70f and sun. Our Winters are odd.

It was a heatwave here in MN today--made it all the way to 46F! People were running around without coats, enjoying the sun. Cold front moving in now, wind gusting to 40mph...Tomorrow won't be so nice!

Untill yesterday the southern half of the continent was roastin, and half it was, and still is on fire. The top half is drowning in tropical rain storms.
We, South west, are supposed to get rain and thunderstorms for the next few days. But the temprature will still get up into the eighties and steam between storm fronts.

The South East is getting temps well above a 100

I'm not kidding, and they have high winds and raging bushfires. I'm prayin for those poor people. That's as bad as it gets.
