This is the 6th day in a row that its cold and raining. I feel bad for the people east of Denver that got those tornado-prone storm cells.

Maryland is gorgeous today - sunny, warm with a gentle breeze. Don't send any of your bad weather our way. Funny thing is, last year we had what you are having this year, including record breaking rainfall.

I'm enjoying it myself. It does get in the way of my bicycling time, but otherwise I like it. I just planted eight cherry trees and some other plants in the yard, and I'm sure they're appreciating it too.

Yeah it's great for the plants and stuff. I wouldn't mind if it didn't rain EVERY day. No car = bicycling everwhere, which sucks balls when it's cold and wet.

There is an unwritten weather rule in MS that states if it's sunny for more than three days in a row we must have downpours for a minimum of five days afterward. It really does seem that way lately. It can be irritating but my grass loves it.

Nope, I love it!
Having last maybe 1/4th of the mature trees on my property to pine bark beetles over the pas 5 years, and wildfire danger as high as its been the last few years, I'm glad for every drop.

I was camping at Brainard Lake above Boulder last week and I woke up to snow falling. The tent was soon taken down, and I got the heck out of there.

It's either hot and windy or wet and cold. I've lived in Colorado all my life and I still can't get used to it.

6 days in a row is begining to wear on me, but we sure do need the rain. So I'm not going to complain too much. I'd much rather have weather like this, than the weather three years ago when it was raining ash.

Yea, it was kind of exciting last year to see those giant plumes of smoke rising over the ridge and glow from the fires at night :Q

I moved to Kansas City from Denver...we get a lot more rain here...just less snow.

The weather (outside of summer) is the one thing I don't miss about Denver
