.......there was a 1/4" of white snow on the ground. Mixed in with the flowers, the green grass, is WHITE SNOW! But hey, this is Montana and you just never know what your going to get.

Anyhow, yeah, thought it worth telling you guys about it seeing as how it's THE MIDDLE OF MAY and all... :)
 
Snow? I was in Miami this past weekend and it was 98 in the shade. Trust me, thats no lie! I enjoyed every bit of it. South beach is amazing, from the water to the people in or out of it. :D

Well, sad to say I have no pictures of South Beach, it was a bachelor party, and we didn't want the use of any flash photography. ;)

good man, that is an unwritten rule of bachelor parties, speaking of which I gotta plan one for my friend that is having one in June. I'm the best man. :lol:

Man Pako, in May still getting snow? This is going to be a strange year for weather, I mean it is mostly through May now and we haven't received our Rain once a day weather yet here in Central Florida. . .

Which could get very ugly for us real fast. Remember 98? I was worried that our forest in my backyard was next. We had one go up right down the street from us that year, luckly the firemen got it undercontrol fairly quickly.
 
Oh man, wierd for sure..., but like I said, the weather here is so unpredictable, but this is kind of rediculous... :D

I was actually still living in South Florida at 98 I just moved up here the following year.

I do remember it though because the girl I was dating at the time, her

sister was living here and was scared of those fires. I figured that this

would happen again though it seems when El Nino comes through the States it screws everything up.

Just rain rain more rain here. :(

Same here, although I don't want it to stop just yet. I've round 4 of the Belgian Nationals coming up this weekend and I tend to race well in the rain at the Genk circuit. :)
 
Well, it's now 12:00, noon...the sky is blue and all the snow is melted. I think it was just a friendly reminder that Mother Nature has her own plans around here and that she can change her mind on a whim, and there's not a darn thing you can do about it. :)

100 degree's is just too hot, and what's the point of warm weather if your just going to run for Air Conditioning every chance you get. :D

Sometimes I miss the warmth of Hawaii, but for the most part I don't miss the sticky humidity one bit.
 
There is no use for hot weather when you sit in the air all the time. But the other 8-9 months are beautiful. THe summer is a small price to pay. I'm originally from Chicago and I'd rather endure Summer in Phoenix than Winter there. Take your pick, fireplace? or pool?
 
LOL, I hear ya, however, a heated pool outside with a fireplace inside sounds aweful inviting... ;)
 
The best of both worlds. I have to admit that my ideal climate is not here in PHX. It does get just too freakin hot. Very few people like their feet burning through their shoes in parking lots, soda cans exploding in your car.. and the most unfair thing of all, the inability to cool off in the shower because the water is permanently hot (the opposite of frozen pipes).

If I had my way I'd live in Northern CA, Oregon, Washington state, Victoria Island or coastal BC. I don't mind rain at all. It's the cold and heat I can't take.

Snow. Sounds nice. It's officially Summer in Phoenix and we won't see anything less than a hundred for at least four months.

I remember when we had temps like that in AZ. I swear, it actually got up to 110 one day, and I burnt my feet on the sidewalk.:irked:
 
So what, Misch! We're stuck in school/university (or whatever the hell you're doing) anyway.

True.

But i have to travel between college/home every day in the rain.

[size=-3]Even though i go by train.[/size]
 
Goodness me. It's 80 degrees F here (in the shade), and I'm finally switching my "wardrobe" to all shorts and short sleeves. Californians rejoice!

:lol: Well, that must be why I saw so many Californians leaving Montana today...

It was a good day! :D

You think your temperature's tough, how's this:

Every day in New Orleans, Louisiana, it is 89F. That does not change. Every night in New Orleans, Louisiana, it is 81F. That, similarly, does not change.

I still think PHX is hot. But you have all that humidity. Enjoy!

All i've seen coming down from above this week is rain. And rain. And even more rain.

And the weather forecast for the next couple of days: rain!

It's the same here all year :irked:

I do. I sit in the car with the air conditioning full blast. The house's air conditioning isn't as effectual.
 
Hey Pako, I'm still waiting for our last snow. I'm not sure that we have seen the end of it just yet. There is still a lot of snow left on the ground but it's starting to melt. Today was actually the first day that you could see the leaves on the trees starting to bloom.

As a matter of fact, I remember one year up here that we got 6 inches of snow on July 4th. Talk about unpredictable weather.

Middle of May? That's getting on towards summer over there, isn't it?
 
Its starting to get cold down here, dad has only just started to clear the frost off of the ute window in the morning. I'm wearing long pants at school as well. But its weird, it'll be as frosty as anything in the mornings, but summerlike around noon. :odd:
