Wizz 11 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Morning tv was going on about how we are apparently due for a hotter than usual summer. Mmmm.... sounds good! Not! Let's hope they get that one wrong. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 We even had the heater on the night before last. Up and down big style. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Yeah, it went below zero here too. It looks like it's killed a couple of my veggie plants. As for summer, urgh. Last year was bad enough. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Every year is bad. I'll be off for 3 weeks in August, for pies and beer. Don't worry, folks, I'll 'blogging' them here as usual. Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Damn...I hope not. Last year was bad enough and managed to go back home for a few weeks break from it. This year I'll be hanging out so I'll definitely be.. GRUMPY. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Every year is bad so will be the same. Anything above 25 is well bad for me.d It will be up amd down all year so I doubt it will be hotter than usual rather both hotter than average as well as below average. Very mixed weather.

We are all just a bunch of cold people who dislike anyything above warm. Lol. Link to post Share on other sites
nagpants 1 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I'll be mad if its hotter than usual, I'll tell you. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 It was much more sunny than normal here last year. The mountains were visible lots of the time. Normally you don't get to see them much in summer. I think the lake was also warmer. In fact if you didn't have anything to do, it was pretty nice! Sitting in the house with work to do, or trying to get some firewood together were the opposite. Link to post Share on other sites
gifugill 0 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 In fact if you didn't have anything to do, it was pretty nice! Good point. I'm sure I'd enjoy summer much more if I had nothing to do! As it is going to work ain't nice round that time. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Its definitely the time the low pay cheque is partly justified.......I love having summers off Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Personally, I prefer my nicely air-conditioned office in summer. Take my vacations when the weather's cooler (or snowy) and the prices are lower. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Tis a good idea if you have a nice air on office without a trek to get there. Let's face it, most things are a drag in summer, so I'd want to not be working if I stayed here. I like to escape for 2-3 weeks. Link to post Share on other sites
