We are having sustained 70 km/h winds (43 mi/hr), and it's 9º C (48º F) with horizontal rain; just like the Pacific storms we have all winter! We didn't have a spring or summer last year, either. Seems it's always cold here!

We h ad a nice little storm.

It's very cold here in Puget Sound with predictions of heavy snow in the passes

It has been very toasty here in Ontario the last few days but we are just starting to get the hot weather now..

Hang in there and hopefully you'll get some soon.

That is most unusual for you west coast folks. We've had record high temps here in Ontario. It's been in the low 30's most of last week with the humidex making it feel more like 40 something. I honestly cannot take that kind of heat - I have no energy to move more than necessary.

It has finally cooled off here so hopefully some of our past heat will blow west young lady, blow west.

It's been a cool, wet spring on the "Wet Coast", and as June is usually iffy, too, I'm not expecting anything exciting for a few weeks. Fortunately, Mother Nature usually gets the yuck out of her system by the end of June and then we get some decent stuff in July and August and into September. Starting vacation on 4 July -- can't wait.

We go to downtown Victoria in the summer to warm up! On any given summer day, it's usually 5º C colder here, huddled by the shore.
When I moved here I finally figured out what a "summer sweater" is.


I'm not complaining too much, though! Give me rain and cold over heat and humid any day!

I agree! Of course, it tickles my funnybone that our governor (I'm not a fan) is talking water conservation/drought in the middle of all the rain and snow

Well, it's a good thing you live on the west coast, then!
