I'm with you, Chris...I love our temps this summer. However....I'm pretty much over the never-ending rain.

I don't think its ever going to stop. I remember about 15 years ago (maybe 1994), it did nothing but rain all spring. It was a mess.

Feel free to send some of it west.

We've had some pretty cool weather here, with lows in the 40's. Quite a difference from the 100 degree weather we had last weekend.

I just remember we had really bad winters in 93 and 94 after wet spring/summers....makes me wonder what this winter will be like. Our last 4 or 5 have been very very mild....we've had it even easier than you...

Post by: Chris on October 06, 2009, 10:06:23 PM: I forgot about '93. We had a huge ice storm that hit us and covered everything in ice. It was nasty.

Yeah...by the time it got here, the temps started nosediving and we ended up with a couple of feet of snow!!!! Actually, I think it was about 23 inches.

lost power on Saturday morning at 5am...and didn't get it back until midday on Wednesday. It was so cold in my house, all I had to throw out was milk and the ice cream.

I thought the kids would never go back to school...they were out about 2 weeks or so, and the school district had to appeal to the state to approve of a shortened school year.

The next year, the school district decided that kids would go to school on Saturdays to make up snow days.

We get a half inch of snow and school is cancelled. If the snow sticks and accumulates....the schools stay closed until all county roads are clear.

I lived in IL, SD and Iowa as a kid.....I only remember school closing for snow 2 times when I was a kid.

We are pretty conservative in Ramstad's old district and yet we had a turd like Ramstad, I'm sure the liberal bastion that skews the results are Plymouth/Wayzata.
