I would rather have heat then pouring rain....

A tad warm for my tastes, but survivable with the right amount of cold beer... ;D

that's just too hot to even drink, I would get sick. Besides I will be consuming large quantities of water since I will be giving blood that morning.

I know it has snowed at Fest before, saph. But, I believe that was many years ago. I remember talking to a couple of vendors, who have been at Fest since it began, once who were telling me about it.

I am with you Sleepy. When it's that hot, beer don't even taste good. My guess is I will have a couple in the morning before the heat sets in, then drink nothing but water for the rest of the day.

I am sure we will be out of there early too. Gin likes the heat a lot more then I do, but not in garb. She doesn't really have anything that is good for warmer weather so usually wants to get out of there early when the temperatures rise!....

I guess I am a TRUE Minnesotan!....LoL

The cold don't bother me in the least. I much prefer it to the heat any day. In fact I'd much prefer strolling the lanes at Fest with a gentle snow falling then I would on a 90 degree day any time. I guess I am just that cold blooded.

Take the heat and go south! We don't need that hot weather stuff up here in the north, I say!...LoL

I am right with you on that one Storm!  Bring on the cold and the snow.  It would be awesome.

I prefer the cold as well.  Of coarse what could you expect from someone that was born & raised in the Ice Box of the nation.

All right, that's quite enough bandying about of the dreaded "s" word, and I'm not talking about "sweltering"!  I'm by no means ready for the white stuff yet!   :o

I have to agree, I like da cold. I can always put on more clothes but the other is somtimes frowned upon.

I have to admit, I'm hoping for cool (low to mid 70s) weather Labour Day weekend.  I'd like to dress up a bit for the royal wedding hoopla.

I would rather go for the "snow" than the "sweltering" as well! :)
That said, I am excited for the first weekend, whatever the weather. :)

Just fer the record I said "snowmobile" which is an entirely different noun. :P

*paints mental image*

Zooming through the gemdazzled trees on a cool crisp morning, all the while humming the Vongage commercial song.
