2026 Whining, Whingeing, and Winding Up thread

[klw]

Do you wish to whine or whinge about your weather?  Do you want to wind up the denizens of another part of the forum by posting about how great your area is having it?

Here is a thread for you.

 

Have fun or not!

What's funny is there very little whining, and of anyone its (ironically) the APATT crew that ends up crashing out and crying

Yes but you are not including the posts with whinging about people whining or the post with people whining about people whinging about people whining.  But by the forum standards yes there is not too much whining.

2025 had perhaps the fewest of standout events of our 27 full years here.  No double-digit snows, no 2"+ rains, the fewest days with thunder (5, previous low was 8, average is 15), no especially heavy winds.
Ironically, the only real standouts were the hot days in June and August, especially the heat wave of August 11-13, only the 2nd one here - in the coldest year of the most recent 5. 
The very low precip doesn't fit my idea of "event" - more like watching grass grow.  Fortunately, we had no problems with our shallow dug well, though the garden suffered, as my late-June total knee replacement
hindered my ability to overcome the lack of rain.
