Sometimes we can get snow even on 17th of may, which is our National day.
Had snow yesterday, about 10cm. Melted away.

What a contrast. Again yesterday we had to seek out shade as the thermometer nearly popped the top off.
I wouldn't bet on that continuing to be true. 🙁
We now have nearly 414 PPM of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (up from about 315 PPM in 1960.) What used to be normal even a couple of decades ago isn't normal any more.
Here in the vicinity of Vancouver, we're experiencing temperatures of 30 degrees Celsius temperatures (86 Fahrenheit), because Arctic warming has destabilized the path of the jet stream, which now wobbles up and down erratically in latitude, bringing wildly variable temperatures with it. At the moment, the jet stream is far north of where it should normally be, so equatorial heat has crept up to Vancouver's latitude.

This morning wasn't quite cold enough to frost, about 39F here, (I'm in Unicoi) but tonight 34/36 is forcast with frost warning once again. So once again I have to assemble a "tent". But this should be the last of it, if you believe the forcast. 🙄
If you want a stressful job with a bad accuracy percentage based on guesstimate, be a meteorologist in East Tenn. Hahaha😀
If you don't like the weather in NE Tenn, wait ten minutes and it will change.
By Thursday it is supposed to be in the 80sF.
I'm in JC.

Ok I'm I'm ready.🙄 This is supposed to be the last night of frost. But around here, it's a daily forcast. One can hope, but ultimately you take what mother nature gives you.😛
Last May, it was dry and in the 90's. Everything just burned up, so I guess I can't complain. But I'll believe the forcast for a warm up when and if there is one.😀

I prefer to use the Indian weather stone.
It is outside next to the door. If I look at and it is wet, I know it is raining. If it is covered with frost in the morning, I know we have frost, it it is covered with snow, I expect snow.
CBS, I see your flag is right side up. I have seen it flown upside down many a time.

I've seen that before as well, and the post office got it upside down on some stamps before. I think the blue stripe is suppose to be on the fly.
Think my recently purchased grapevines are dead. Hoping they will come back to life eventually.

Snow? You have ladies in skimpy shorts offering beer - I can hardly wait to see your summertime!
I think she's actually saying "I have beer and you don't, nyah nyah na nyah nyah!" 🙂

First time I turned on the airconditioning this year. 77F and 55% humidity. Just a bit uncomfortable, but it is there, so I used it!
Not much difference really. Not every year we get what most foreigners call "bathing temperatures" in the lakes/ocean etc, alot of us still do it anyway.
Personally: If the weather is nice I cross the line at 14c, and regardless of weather if there is a sauna or big bonfire available I still cross the line at 14c only the other way.
