The Work Weather Thread

Does anyone need some extra warmth?

Definitely not. When I left work at 8, it was still 82 degrees out!

[TheTick]

I'd say yes, but then we'd probably go from 50 to 85 and humid again...no thanks.

I love it when it's in the 50s and 60s. Those are my favorite temperatures.

I need to move to Alaska or something.

The high pressure area off the coast is sticking around too long. The upper 90's are too high for my tastes.

There is thundershowers offshore today, when they roll inland, that might make for some dry lightning in the Central Valley.

Ouch.

My heat index disappeared today. It now has "wind chill".

Random bit of Geography:
This link will take you to a Google Maps satellite image here in Milwaukee. It's the rooftop of a business on one of the landing approaches at Mitchell International Airport. It was put up by some pranksters about 29 years ago. I wonder if anyone has ever been freaked out by it.

[El Seed]

Ooops! Better turn North West!

[TheTick]

It was that wrong turn at Albequerque...

:lol:

Rained at the drive-in again.  I think I saw about half of Kung Fu Panda.

Not so much fog as smoke. A rather large wildfire broke out Saturday in Wild Horse Valley, a small valley in the eastern ridge above Napa Valley. It's burning east toward the Central Valley, but an inversion layer has kept it all over the North Bay Area. Over 400 wildfires were sparked by dry lightning in California on Saturday.

Staying inside is a good thing today.

Our Wild Horse Valley fire is 80% contained, but many fires still burn across the state. Poor air quality continues.

Agents will be meeting in my Conference Room. I hope they contain themselves. :?
