"Open Rain or Shine"!... it'll be fun to watch a muddy chess match. P.S. there is a video on youtube of our good King mud-diving, though it doesn't show what you looked like afterward! Huzzah for being such a sport.

One weather site says the rain Saturday morning is supposed to be gone by 11:00am.
Let's hope so. Poor King Henry doesn't do a pretty impersonation of an old wet hen.  ;) ;D

I hope not you know how hard it rained that Monday?  Its bad when you start worrying about the water reaching your kilt.

That particular Monday was INSANELY downpour-ish!  We were soaked through every layer, and in nobles, that's hard to do!  Of course, it probably helps that the Marchioness got in a water fight with one of the Baronesses and then ended up teaming up with her against one of the King's Guards. *snerk*

Seriously, we reached a point where the cast pretty much said "Can't get any wetter!" and just played in the rain.  I remember walking up and down along the side of the kitchens by Captain's Pub and taunting the crowd that was hiding under the overhang, calling them cowards for being scared of a little water.  I got some to come out and dance in the puddles with me. :)

It was fun, but very, very WET!

Just remember that even if it stops raining, it will still be slick out there.  Pay attention to your footing!  Trust me, I spent time flat on my arse in a mudpuddle in the SAPA parking lot a couple of years ago, followed by time in the EMT's shack.  Not fun at all!  (Though the Boys in Orange are always fun guys, it's just better to not need their professional services.)

It rained like mad at home! Elgin got 5"! My weather spell worked out very well!

Title: Re: The weather forecast for this weekend...
Post by: Love Good Wood on April 23, 2009, 11:46:37 PM
i just don't see how some people survive the heat with all the layers they wear (mainly the royals)... i know people have said the layers absorb and keep you cooler, but i just don't see it
Title: Re: The weather forecast for this weekend...
Post by: Brittney on April 24, 2009, 06:18:29 AM
Having played an English court noble the past three years in two layers of orange tapestry, the key is hydration during the week, hydration during the day, knowing your limits and not doing anything on a Monday. It helps that the cast, in general, does not consume booze during the faire day. We also work our way up to it throughout the workshop process and the season before it gets truly hot.

So, in all honesty, it is conditioning.

Some of it is the type of material that our garb is made from. The Marques's garb and mine is made out of combinations of linen, cotton and silk.
Cotton brocade or brocatelle is hard to find but it is out there, as well as cotton velvet.

Then of course hydration is key.
Water, Water and more water, which brings up a side note. If you are overheated and dehydrated, ice water can be detrimental. The ice can produce a sudden shock to the system.

Layering does help if its loose and allows for air flow.  Its one of the reason we Scots can wear nine yards of wool without roasting.  Of course that isn't much help to the ladies in their bondices.

Post by: *Teach* on April 24, 2009, 10:05:50 AM
sigh... no wearing the new coat tomorrow.
Was going to wear it as long as it stayed at 80... more than that is just to much... double sigh

*at least I can still have rum*
Title: Re: The weather forecast for this weekend...
Post by: eloquentXI on April 24, 2009, 10:28:55 AM
Mmmm, the warmer it gets, the more limited the garb option become, especially since I get fatigued mid-day really easy.
Lotsa lotsa water for me and hiding under my parasol usually helps. Or making sure I sit down often in the shade.

But it sounds like it will be beautiful weather, I'm excited!  :)

Post by: lilaney on April 30, 2009, 11:44:41 AM
The common occurence so far this year is that.. it'll be a Highland Morning, followed by a healthy day of humid, Eastern sea-side weather (I.E. probably exactly what the real Scarborough experiences)

So, come prepared for dancing in puddles, and end the day relaxing in the shade.
Cheers!

We just missed the downpour but the rain was so heavy at one point we were doing 22 on I35.
The updated forecast for Sunday calls for Thunderstorms until after 1:00PM,
so it looks like Sunday is a washout for us.

(Pardon the pun)

Queen B's weather magic seems to have worked for this weekend. It's leaning toward being fairly nice. 30% chance of showers, mostly cloudy with a high of 75 with a north breeze following a cold front blowing through on Friday night so a bit less humid. We are going for our annual "shopping" day when we don't attend any shows (will be in the wedding garden at noon though) and just browse all the shops and get new garb and accessories! I've only been able to speak with a few of you, it seems that when I see someone they are busy or all the way across the shire. We are spending the night at the Best Western this Friday and will be there all day Saturday. See you there...

Remember.... a 30% chance of rain means that it's 70% likely to NOT rain.

We wizards can't use all our magic on keeping the rain away... it's so tiring.

I'll do my best for the upcoming weekend since Queen Bonnie will not be in attendance to help me... her evil twin sister may offer some assistance.

We had a great day, in spite of the rain & muck.

I'll be there tomorrow with two drums on my back, so I'll probably march right past everyone, say a quick Hello, and walk on in...hopefully it won't be too slick in the parking lot  :o

I take FULL responsibility for the rain Saturday. In all my years of going to fair (TRF in 1989 was my 1st time) I have never been to faire when there was rain. So of course it was my fault for the rain. Actually I had a blast in the rain well with the exception of not bringing the camera out. I felt REALLY weird without it. :'(

Sun was SO much nicer so I decided to break out the leather armor and wings. I've had them in my trunk all season waiting for a nice day and Sunday was it.

Hopefully This Saturday will be as nice as Sunday was because it's my birthday!!  ;D

Reaper, your wings and leather looked great BTW, very fun to meet and hang out last weekend!  I agree that I had a good time in the rain too since we basically just got a good buzz going nice and early at the wine tasting and then had fun with that feeling until the end of the day.

Looking at the forcast for the final weekend it looks as if we may have made it a whole season with temps under the 90s. 80s are forecast for next weekend.

 Tis grand to have another wizard to help out with the weather spells, Merlin!
I have started already! Not too much hair of cat this time! Just a touch of sneeze of spider! Lots of tail of Newt in my potion! The weather for Scarby has been mostly OK this season!
I don't much enjoy the hot stickies- but magick can be unpredictable! I do my best!

Sounds like this weekend will be fairly nice. We've had days pushing 100 on final weekend, so 82 to 85 doesn't sound too bad.

It's not going to rain this weekend, because Captain Fletcher and family (including the newest member) will be in attendance, and we simply WILL NOT ALLOW BAD WEATHER!!!!

I actually didn't this time so it's not my fault!

It's all Merlin's fault.  What guy in his right mind would pick lust and Jessica Alba over sunshine.....................Okay, bad example.  I am with you on that one.  ;D

Chances of rain are increasing...Merlin and Queen B better bring out the heavy duty spells! I tried one, but now I gotta figure out how to change my ears back to normal, they are green now. I better leave the real magic to you guys...

 Magick is tricky and not for the faint of heart. Mother Nature and I are having another" discussion". We shall see who wins this one. So far she has been kind to me for most of Scarby-  It will take a lot of convincing to get her to give us a good day or 3 on Memorial weekend. I am doing my best! It does take a lot of energy! Getting out my BIG staff this weekend!

At least 3 of us will have parasols or umbrellas with us, so maybe those will ward off the rain  ::)

Weather on the news said 50% chance of widely scattered thunderstorms but if you did get hit it's only going to be a downpour of about 10 to 15 minutes, then stop.... really doesn't sound too bad and the temp is forecast to be only 82 degrees. Sounds like heaven if any of you were at Celtic Christmas at TRF during 2007. Tomorrow to faire and weather be damned! We shall have a grand time anyway!

Queen B, let the Good Mother know that this is the first trip for us Bayou Scoundrels to your fine faire and that at least one day of good weather would go a long way towards return trips.

Guess I'll be packing my parasol too, just in case.
