I know who you’re referring to and even those 2 are not enjoying this today . One of them I guarantee is inside watching tv and the other one is probably sleeping

Broke into some solid sun now. What a difference 

[Typhoon Tip]

see...I think it's really just whether the sun is shining for a lot of return engagement in this social media.  I've come to find over the years there's a coherent increase in the complaint rate based on whether that is the case.   Less about temperature and more about sun.  Cloudy and dry....  'top ranked shit day' this and that.  All complaints more than just seem to settle off if the sun blasts through south facing windows

I have a stretch of cedar fencing coming in tomorrow ...I had to go out and prep the property line; pretty nasty job toiling in contaminated dirt and old human detritus.  This is kitty corner to an urban setting so it's not like rooting around in nature's regolith and bucolic Earth.  Pretty sure I was turnin dirt and exhuming plastic fragments from 1972 back there. Gross.   But I can say...dry and cloudy at 52 F?  It was a helluva bargain over having to do that toily task if were 80 F and humid.    ho man.   

it's all relative I guess

Yeah even had a few flurries spitting here. 

We had a couple of rounds of graupel late morning while I was doing work outside

Upper 40s and windy…a few glimpses of sun aren’t saving this day.

Enjoy. Windy with off and on spits of rain here. Raw 50F

52° in Greenfield with some gusty wind.
I’m still stubbornly rocking the shorts though.

40s all day and powered through with shorts on.  About half a dozen layers on the upper body though, ha.  Channeling my inner DIT.

4pm on May 3 and it feels like 41 degrees. This blows

[powderfreak]

48/25 is apparently dry enough to get frozen down here… graupel and mangled chunky flakes for a 3 minute shower.  Dog came in with frozen pellets on her back.
