I can't fucking take much more of this. Mid April, other than one anomaly in February, haven't had a day warmer than the low 40s. Today is 38 degrees and drizzling.
But that's nothing compared to what the weekend holds...
Rain ahead of a slow moving system is expected to change to freezing rain early Saturday morning as colder air moves into the region. The freezing rain may persist for a few hours before changing to ice pellets. Several centimetres of ice pellets are likely during the day.
Latest analysis is suggesting that there will be a lull in the precipitation for much of Saturday night with maybe some patchy freezing drizzle. However, another surge of moisture will move back into the region late overnight or early Sunday morning. A prolonged period of freezing rain is possible Sunday before changing over to rain heavy at times later in the day.
There remains considerable uncertainty with regards to how long the freezing rain will last before changing over to rain on Sunday. However, the potential exists for some locales to see amounts in excess of 20 mm (0ne inch) of freezing rain on Sunday.
Ice accumulations of this magnitude combined with gusty northeast winds to 60 km/h may result in widespread power outages due to fallen tree limbs and power lines.
Winter driving condition are expected on untreated roads Saturday and Sunday.
Flooding may become a threat in some areas by Sunday evening.
Oh, there will be power outages. An inch of ice will do that.
That sounds nasty.
We had snow and ice yesterday, everyone slipping and falling. But we get a nice day tomorrow. +13

We've had every possible solution floated EXCEPT weekends. People would lose their minds.

This weekend has been ridiculous. Rain, ice pellets, rain, freezing rain, more ice pellets, freeing rain and now heavy rain.
No wonder the news is so dire!

So...there's really no "cleaning up" lava once it's done it's thing, is there? So those people with the mansions on the volcano are just SOL?

A not-too-bright guy I went to college with built a little house on top of lava near the top of the big Island about 15 years ago. He thought it was great you could get a home in Hawaii for such a low price. He said nobody would insure him, though. (Big surprise.) Luckily, the "greater fool" theorem prevailed and he sold out awhile back. I assume that place is screwed now.

50 degrees and pouring!
3rd weekend in May is the traditional start of summer. Long weekend full of events, picnics, cottage openings.
Took my dog to the park today and needed gloves.

There’s a band of storms along the equator that pretty much wraps around the entire globe, and it’s been feeding this massive amount of moisture up the eastern seaboard for the past week.

OK...So for the past week there’s been this ridiculous, few thousand mile wide, swath of moisture that spans the entire globe at the equator. From it, moisture’s pumped into the Caribbean and has caused significant rains through the Gulf of Mexico and FL Straits and up through most of the eastern United States for the past 10 days. Today I looked at the radar, and the earth-sized, swath of moisture is still there. There’s also a system that starts in Reykjavik, and ends in freakin Bowling Green, KY (or what it OH).
Shit’s bizarre.

The storm in Boulder was pretty crazy. The hail wasn't that big, but it lasted for a good 20-25 minutes. After I waited out the storm (thank goodness for extended happy hour hours) and got home more hail came down at about the size in your friend's pic. Thankfully only for 5-10 minutes. I was worried about the solar panels.

But of course. Been a relatively calm summer until this week, but the next few days are gonna be hot.
Since when do you speak metric?
You guys were doing it up above, so wanted to belong. Also, it's funny that the temps here in C are not too far off from the temps in F there. (OK, a little far off, but you know what I mean.)

Yeah, it's time to bug out for the mountains.
It still won't be as bad as last weekend in St. Louis though.

Funny. My wife returned yesterday from a trip to St. Louis, and she got off a funny line: “the weather in hell can’t be much worse than St. Louis in the summer.”

Highs for the long weekend in Toronto will be 33-35 with humidex readings of up to 45.
To translate, that's 91-95 and 113!

Visiting family in Ohio this week, so I ducked out on temps above 95 at home for the much cooler 93's on the road.

Las Vegas hit 114 yesterday, just off the highest temperature ever recorded in history here (116). And I'll be honest, it was hot but it didn't really feel all that bad. Guess it's just perspective after two weeks of constantly sweating in places I didn't know I had.

I'm actually kinda surprised that is the highest recorded temp.
Waco it 114 last week and it was their highest-recorded temp.
