I'm Still Wearing My Winter Woolies In May!

it has been like that here where i live too. you don't know how to dress from one day to the next. it is starting to get nice during the day but it is still nice and cool at night for sleeping. what i hate is during July and August when it get really hot during the day and stays hot during the night! thankfully, our summer is shortish here in Canada.

It's been up and down here. We had lots of rain last week, then we had a real nice warm sunny weekend. But today it seems to be starting all over again with the rain. So far its not raining, but it is cloudy and damp and also warm, so it makes for a real lousy day. I have my air condition on to remove the moisture in the air. Other then that I guess I'm fine.

We've had some strange weather this year. It warmed up very early and things started growing about a month early (June roses bloomed on May 5). It was a dry winter and very dry spring. However... it's been rainy here for the last three days and cold, too. I, too, am wearing my winter woolies after thinking I was through with them for the year. I have turned the heater off and back on and off and back on... I hope it warms up now, but I don't want it to get hot. The tomatoes and peppers need some sunny weather, though.

We'd love to have some, but we did get quite a bit of rain last week - actually most of the States were clear with a bit of rain right over TEXAS! And the temp was actually down into the 60's in the mornings - getting into the mid-80's in the afternoon - very nice compared to the 90's (that would be over 32 for you guys!)

Same here Janey.. Although sun was shining on Saturday, there was a frosty feel to the breeze that felt more like January in the shade. Usually in may down here, we are walking around in T-shirts and shorts. But not this year, although there are still a few brave ones out there showing a lot of skin.. I prefer to dress as I feel, not to the calendar though. Raining again today and we still have our central heating come on every morning and evening.. It's going to cost us a bit more this year I think.. _Derek

Just over two weeks out from winter here and we spent the day at the beach yesterday for Mothers Day. It was great, a little bit of a cool breeze, but rather pleasant and about 23 degrees or so Celsius. There were plenty of people out in the water, it was great to see at this time of year. Today has been nice and sunny, but cool out of the sun. Due to all the trees surrounding our house, it is at least 5 degrees cooler at home than it is in town, so I was rugged up with a big warm top and beanie for most of the day. It was about 16 degrees in the house, but a lot warmer out in the sun, once I got out that was!

although we had a lot milder winter than usual beginning of spring was more of cold and wet even some frost may is way better, no more frost, less rain and more sun perfect for gardening so no thanks I don't want your rain LOL my seeds need a whole lotta sun now

It's warmer earlier than usual here. I've already planted some stuff in the garden. The general rule around here is don't plant until the May 24th weekend (Victoria Day) but I've already planted some stuff in April! Some peas, beans, carrots, beets, and radishes are already coming up. Lots of blossoms on the strawberries, and the raspberries aren't too far behind. Spent the whole afternoon outside today (warmer outside than in). The rhubarb is coming in nicely too. (Just started it last year). The lettuce has been recalcitrant (only one little seedling) so I reseeded yesterday and put in more radish and carrot seeds for a succession crop... I have to lie down now (too much pear cider makes it difficult to type).

Until a few days ago we were drowning in rain and the weather was windy, miserable, and cold. But we've had a change for the better and are now sunburnt and having to get up ridiculously early in the morning to get some work done before the midday sun.

We had a mild (or HOT) winter, and even though its not even full on summer yet its sweltering here. We're supposed to have a ton of rain this week, but its been dry for a while. I prefer cold to hot any day, but thats too much to ask living where I do.

It rained a little bit today. But it was warm and sunny for the past week and a half. If I wasn't staying at work way past office hours, and if I wasn't rushing home all the time, I would have walked or biked to work. Even on the weekend (yesterday and last weekend), was like barbecue season. I like it sunny too. And like you, I don't mind it a bit cool (not hot).

As it happens,we have had much rain lately.It is early summer here.Early in May,It was hot and suffocating.Many people wore short-sleeved shirts .However today we have to put on long-sleeved ones even sleeveless woollen sweater.

It was cold here today too.. normally it is warm.. but today it was raining and cold. I didn't wear a coat, but my daughter was cold and wanted to wear her winter pajamas. I think due to our winter being so warm that our spring is hiccuping up some winter days.

For the past two days I am having a good rain. This rain helps us people to have a good relief from the warm we have .

We have had some of just about everything this last week. I like it fine. I know there are places west of me that could use a whole parcel of your rain. We went to a movie outdoors at the park last night, and were chilled enough to drink cocoa when we came home.

Summer weather during the day, cooler at night. You send me a little cold, and I"ll send you some warm.

We have had a really nice really to day weather wise. Well actually a really nice day to day period for me but the weather was great. It was around 70 degrees, nice and sunny and beautiful clear blue skies. I wish it had been more like this yesterday as we had our daughter's Sweet 16 party yesterday. It was a bit chilly and it sort of threatened to rain all day long, we lucked out though other than a brief light drizzle the rain stayed away for us. I have to thank God for that.

Hi Janey First of all, what is a winter woolie? Have to say that I have never heard that before. Common sense says, wool blankets, wool clothes which make me want to scratch just thinking about them. Of course, I am in southern Florida, "a way down south" and as happens most of the time, we went from a couple of weeks of beautiful, energizing, happy spring has sprung weather to typical miserably hot and humid, bad hair day for the next 6 months,and here come the 300.00 a month electric bill..You'd think that after 36 years I'd get used to it, but I dont. Not everyone can withstand the Florida lifestyle. The winters are heaven but when the season changes to summer it's like "Can I do this again"? The bottom line is that we have to do it again and so you just do it. Every summer I hear myself say the same thing over and over, "Next year, I am going to be in the Northeast for the summer. Maybe Boston, maybe Cape Cod just anywhere where you dont sweat 24/7...But like every year, I'm still here and I will probably be here for the rest of my life simply because this is home. So. to answer your question "Would you like some of ours?" Thanks for the offer but No, we have plenty of rain too...It's life in the tropics...love it or get out!

Hi janey, that would be a "NO THANK YOU",,thanks for offering,,lol. But its beautiful here in New York today...no rain in sight for a couple of days. It been pretty nice here lately to me anyway... its seasonably right around 70-73 degrees...I would like for it to hurry and reach the 80's...lol....Love that warm/hot weather....
