Jet stream going up and down as it does.

If you don't like cold, wait a week and you'll have your 90's again.

Atlanta looked set to break a second straight record for a lowest maximum temperature on Friday, capping one of the coolest, wettest summers on record for the usually sweltering city.

Hotlanta.

The Sun has a cold, and the only prescription is...

I live in Maryland , and this is the coolest and wettest summer in my memory.

We had 4 days of weather in the 95 to 100 range and that was it.

I am looking to buying a snow blade for my tractor this year if it continues. Looking for an early frost.

You should be sorry.

Anyway, all this cool weather HAS to be due to manmade global warming./s

Here in central Florida it was so hot one day that wen I wuz in my cornfield, all the kernels started popping popcorn! An my mule thought it was snow flying thru the air and he froze to death before I could get him back to the barn!

Then the next day wen this cold front came through the mercury dropped so hard and fast that when it hit the bottom of the glass in the thermometer it jerked the thermometer off the nail!

Lordy! The weather is gettin mighty strange.

I also live in central Florida and for TWO summers now have turned OFF the ac at night and slept very comfortably with windows open. I don’t turn back on by noon. Global warming my butt.

I’m blaming all the wind turbines.

64 degrees at 9AM at my house in the NW Atlanta suburbs today. This is in mid-August, it’s supposed to be suffocating hot. High temp yesterday was 67 degrees, in Georgia, in August???

Where I come from, 64 degrees at tee time is short-sleeve-shirt and shorts weather.

I knew a girl once who had a tilt. She had one leg. Her name was Eileen.

I knew a girl like that, only she was Japanese.

Her name was Irene.

That's considered a beach day up here in New England. Come October, we probably won't see 67 degrees again until end of April.

Global warming. And it’s going to get colder over the next several years.

Lordy, this is poorly written! Is Phoenix City in Atlanta? That’s what this would have one think.

I’ve lived in places like that. I’d rather be wearing a sweater in August than a parka 9 months out of the year.

I’m in Alabama about 125 miles Southwest of Atlanta. Yesterday’s high was 72 degrees. I have never seen a high so low in Alabama in August as that.

Right now it’s 70 degrees. We haven’t seen the Sun all week.

Now, right off, I don’t mind. I hate the 99+ degree with 99% humidity days we normally have.

But of course no stories will be written about this being proof that the climate is cooling. It’s just weather.

No, Phenix City is in Alabama, across the Chattahoochee river from Columbus, Georgia.

Note the spelling.

Some call Atlanta the Phoenix City because after Sherman’s Yankees burned it to the ground it rose up out of the ashes to be the biggest city in the South.

That’s interesting. I knew a one-legged girl from Japan and her name was Irene.

I think the inverse of the "feed a cold, starve a fever" applies here. So the answer is "Less Cowbell".

To what do you attribute this run (sic) of one-legged girls?

Is it a trend or something? Does computer simulation give us any clues as to what happened to the missing legs? :-)
