How's the fucking weather where you are?

[Kyuss Apollo]

Today is overcast and chilly. Yesterday was one of those days that looked really nice from inside but when you got outside you realize too late you had just walked right into the trap.

[Watser?]

We get those a lot.

Today is very nice though

[Miisa]

Today is very nice. And we usually get Watser's weather a day or two after he has used it, so that is promising.

[Watser?]

We get it from the English usually.

[Miisa]

Third-hand weather. Softened for us.

I froze my ass off riding my motorcycle to court in another county yesterday. Two and a half hours later it was very nice out, a pleasant ride home.

[godfry n. glad]

Sunny and warm, but not hot. Idyllic, actually.

This has been happening a lot this spring. Very unusual for these parts. In Seattle this past weekend, I learned that there is a huge snow-covered mountain right outside of town...I actually saw it. The locals talk about the inevitability of meteorological retribution for these pleasant anomalies. Eventually.

77?!

IT'S FUCKING NICE!

Today is better than an original holographic charizard. Loser!

Y'all are all making me feel guilty for running away to the beach.

Not really, it was glorious.

[curses]

It went from 'needing a jacket in the house' to 'turn on the AC before I melt!' in a span of 24 hours. Ah, spring.

[Ymir's blood]

So I'm probably not going to need my coat?

Yesterday, we put the swamp cooler in and put away the snow shovel.

Not very HARD away or anything, though. It's just inside the garage door.

[Ymir's blood]

What's a swamp cooler?

[ImGod]

12 days ago we got what was hopefully the last snow of the spring.

Yesterday it was a record high of 101 F (38.3 C, 560.67 R, 311.48 K, hot). Luckily for my kid, is was only 95F and 61% humidity when her soccer game started, so she only died a little.

Once again,

mother nature

It's an adiabatic air cooling thingymabob people use in dry climates to cool their house. You can't use one if the humidity is high were you live because the water won't evaporate efficiently enough.

The evaporation of water requires approximately 1000 btu/lb (if I rememberate it correctly off the top of my head). So running warm air over cool water will evaporate some of the water, sucking out 1000 btu per lb of water evaporated to do so, thereby cooling and humidifying the incoming air.

Cheaper than AC, but requires dry air and water.

[lisarea]

It's you. You're adiabatic.

Just to rub all of y'all's noses in it a little, our home weather station doesn't measure relative humidity levels below 20%, which makes that feature all but useless.

[ImGod]

According to my wife adiabatic = thingymabob.

If I start tech speaking around her, it's like I'm speaking Dutch. And we all know how much people like the Dutch.

So basically, it's all, "Sven, remember to return the communal art socks to the marijuana collective this Thursday. It is Hilde's turn with them next."

[Ymir's blood]

I don't think my humidity meter can read as low as 20%.

[Dingfod]

My humidity meter got borked because of mold.

You evil bastard.

I did not realize there were so many Austin Powers fans here.

"I don't speak freaky-deaky Dutch. Okay, perv-boy?"

Everyone survive the tornadoes? They missed our state.

We had hail about 4 weeks ago that may have destroyed our roof in the future (?), so it may be getting replaced. I'm learning all about hail strikes per 10 foot x 10 foot square and how many roofing contractors can call per day.
