Good fun at Archon -- thanks to Michelle, Les, and everyone else. Especially thanks to all the cool folks at the open filk last night.

Eight and a half hours each way. Fortunately, most of the driving was very pleasant (not counting the occasional dipshit who needs to tailgate at 85 mph).

From about the Michigan state line to I-94 thirty-eight miles later, I watched a thunderstorm brewing behind the overcast. Flashes every two or three seconds, lighting up the whole sky. The rain held off until I was within a mile of the exit, and then I outran it. It should be here by midnight, but I'm inside now. :)

So how's the weather where you are?

Outrunning a storm sounds really cool.

(and, uncomfortably but not dangerously hot)

Warm and muggy. With rain forecast for the next 4 days.

Quite pleasant indeed. 'course now that I've said that, I've probably jinxed it.

I ended up last night doing what you did Friday, flat on my back in our hotel room. I felt like crud on a stick.

Shiny! (oh...right...no Serenity quotes...)

A bit more humid than we've had of late, but it's finally starting to actually FEEL like fall in SW Ohio.

Glad to hear you stayed ahead of the storm.

steamy, albeit less so than a few weeks ago. what happened to my lovely thursday weather when it was in the 50's when i went to work and the high 60's when i came home? i want my autumn, gorramit!
and if you think i'm whiny NOW, wait a few months for me to start snarking at all these thin-blooded whiners complaining about the "cold." i live in kentucky. i was raised in upstate new york. kentucky, as far as i've seen in the years i've lived here, does not know COLD as we northerners know it. the city shut down last christmas beacause of about a foot of snow, and i was out the next day in my tiny chevy coupe zipping all around town without a single slip or slide as slack-jawed yokels decided i was crazy.
the weather's tolerable. the attitudes of my neighbors, less so.

It could be worse: Atlanta has been paralized by as little as /four/ inches of snow...

I grew up (once my father finally stopped Base hopping) down in NW Florida. They'd close the schools if the snow stuck at all (about 1-2 days a year, if that) because they were scared all the the bridges in the area were icing. I always found this funny because before that I was in Germany and I saw snow up to the second story balcony and I still had to walk to Kindergarden!

Darn hot here. 30C and it's not even the middle of spring yet. Bleh.

Bring on the thunderstorms, please.

I was at Stronghold Renaissance Faire, in Oregon, IL. It rained. It got sunny. It rained again. I thought that would be a good time for a castle tour. It got sunny. It rained some more. I slipped in the mud and got a wipeout, but also bonus points! The mud on my green now matched the brown on my underskirt. And to top off the bonus points, my umbrella matched my green!

On the way home, I could see more thunderstorms for a while, and drove through a few more on the way back to Naperville, IL. Fun fun! Just got home a while ago, and I'm having an out of bodice experience while listening to Dr. Demento. :)

Sunny, though some morning low fog and clouds. Afternoon temps in 70's, 80's. Gorgeous - fairly typical for Autumn in SoCal. Still too early to pack up the AC unit in the window, but don't need it much except in the computer room.

Weather like this is why I moved here. I despise Winter, with all my heart, soul, and frozen fingers.

Saw the BDM of course - am in mourning. But it was one helluva ride.

Slowly starting to cool down into fall. The days are still nice at 75-80, but the nights are dropping to 50 and a little below. I'm sad - I always miss summer when it's gone, it's like losing a friend for six months.

Darn you pomegranates for being so tasty!
