Weather update - (subject to change in 5 minutes or sooner/later)

[max and kate]

They are saying 60% rain Saturday and 30% on Sunday, always subject to change and yes temperature in the low 60's. Maybe we'll follow the Queen back to Florida.

It is freaking cold to this Michiganer!  I had to turn on the furnace last night..buurrrrr

Our furnace is still off but they are calling for a frost on Thursday. I guess I'll be picking up furnace filters in the morning!

Went last weekend was 60% chance of rain and it did rain, but only in drizzle form and a few light showers, then the rest of the day was just overcast. Hopin if we have to have rain this weekend will be the same. And yes, it's gettin too cold. I had to wear my jacket, then raincoast over that jacket to keep warm yesterday. That wind is brutal.

Can I just say that for this little Floridian, it's frikkin' cold.  Hopefully the rain will stay away for our final weekend.  But nonetheless, you will see a bundled up queen.

We will not fear the cold as we bask in the warmth of your benevolent rule!

[Poldugarian Warrior]

Your Majesty, I must say. I've seen you this season riding upon the horse in the parade, and it adds a most regal flair to your persona. I remember as a child watching the kings and queens of old ride up and down the same streets of our beloved shire, and looking at awe of their power and wealth and so to this day I feel the same way, as I would think many others do to. Huzzah! to the faire for allowing you to ride a horse.

Can you have a talk with God again Madge Estes?  As Saturday is my wife's natal day, rain will just not do! 

Not to mention as it's the last weekend of faire, rain should not be allowed in the equation.  I say we all ask for at least a taste of July/August this weekend, since June went right to the longest September I can remember.

[Madge Estes]

I think we should all say whatever prayers are appropriate that our final weekend is a nice one. A day like today would be welcome, even if it is a bit chilly.

Last night was ridiculous!  And waking up to frost this morning.  Made me want to stay in bed snuggled with my dogs.

[Lims]

I totally agree!  They weather today would be a perfect day.  Maybe a bit chilly, but stand in the sun for a few and you'll warm. 

The frost as I left work last night ( bartender ) was shocking!  The look on my face was like a puppy hearing a strange noise for the first time. Head cocked, eyebrows furrowed... ( what IS this stuff ?! )  You'd think I wasn't raised in Michigan.

I don't want to turn on my heat yet!

I'll..ll..ll...  b-b-be f-fine. 

[max and kate]

40% chance of rain on Saturday and  only a 20% chance on Sunday now, still low 60's both days.

We harvested grapes for two days this week to beat the frost... We turned the furnace on last night too. Which was fine, but in the middle of the night I heard it actually start up. Ugh. 

Jon.

[Poldugarian Warrior]

Yeah, I work in a shop and it was more preferrable to work outside in the sun rather than in the shade of the shop. Go figure. I hope I gets sunny real soon.

[Eric of Lyon]

That frost was nasty!  Don't remember one that severe hitting so early.  Took care of the bean and pepper plants.  I do have to say though, that picking a fresh ripe pear with a little frost on it and sinking one's teeth into is is quite tasty.  Thankfully the apples and pears are sturdy enough to endure these cold nights.

[Katie Bookwench]

I think the rain that was predicted for Saturday has come early.

Hopefully the system will get on with it today and be gone by tomorrow so we can have a dry (albeit chilly) faire weekend.  *crossing fingers*

[Lord Virgil]

I like the way you're thinking Katie, let's all join in on that idea, the power of positive thinking....

[darkranger]
