Of course - but we have peasant AC - 2 hose, floor units ..... lol (to completely AC our double-furnace house would be >10k)

I just put an A/C on my top-floor furnace. It keeps the bedroom cool, and the rest of the house doesn't get too hot that way. It's great for sleeping at night. I shut the main-floor furnace off in the summer.

I'm so glad winter is over so we can get to hail season. And then we get some fire season before winter again.

Calgary weather is truly horrific.

SFO has been brutal this year, rained all through Jan-May. Feb-May is typically our nice summers. Was pretty depressing being down there.

I heard @TomcoPDR is doing dent repair in Wakanda.

Pretty sure you got it backwards. I believe he's making dents there.

I actually prefer the variety here. The Wet coast is much worse in the summer for boring, hot, stale weather for weeks

Yeah, consistently warm weather in the summer fuckin blows


I lived in Victoria for ~5 years, and their summers are a billion percent more enjoyable than ours, same goes for shoulder seasons. It's just the grey winter that's not great. And the hippies.

Its boring. Everything is dry as a rock and you cant even fart in the forest come August. No relief at all. Eventual smoke show ensues.

Id rather have a green summer than brown.

You just described Alberta the past few years.

No, we dont get months of drought here as standard every summer. The grass is definitely greener here around August with the regular Tstorms. Love the storms too and the dark skies.

Today has been so anticlimactic in the SW... sprinkled for probably under an hour, currently sunny with the odd cloud

[Brent.ff]

Never hit us in south airdrie. Looked like it was gonna be a gnarly one too. Went straight east

[JfuckinC]

Rain woke me up, looks gnarly east/northeast of town

[Brent.ff]

Neighbours car alarm went off cause of thunder. Impressed

[ExtraSlow]

Ensuite bathroom skylights are awesome if you enjoy knowing how hard it rains overnight.

[firebane]

Lots of thunder and rain in the SW. Woke me up and made me realize I need to clean some gutters.

Hah, I was laying in bed thinking the same thing.

Got woken up by this one

[ThePenIsMightier]

I had to drive someone over 50km to the airport for 06:00. We nearly stopped to build a fucking ark on the way. 45 solid minutes of extreme rain and by the time I got back to the parkade, it had stopped.
I actually hydroplaned a tiny bit, twice and I saw the traction control light come on an additional time. I've been in much harder rain, but I don't think ever before have I had to endure such a long storm while driving.
Not a great start to what I'm confident will be a shit day.

Thunder/Lightning woke me up around 530 this morning. The storm must have been right over my house (Cougar Ridge) because there was no more than 1/2 second between the lightning and thunder.
