How often does that happen in Michigan?

I did the Vanda shuffle last night brought the in spike onto the enclosed porch it went down to 52 ,tonight will be colder possible high 40s this is silly I am in Mo.

Ross, I had remnants of Hurricane Dan threatening my area yesterday, so brought in all my chids from the porch Friday. That type of weather craziness happens alot here, too, so I can relate.

[tuvoc]

I feel you pain, Ross. We had frost warnings the weekend of the 7th, and there is a saying here that the only month it hasn't snowed it Reno is August.

Man, it's like 90 degrees here. Mostly sunny with a 30% chance of rain. I just feel the humidity. I can't wait for a little of that cold.

[flhiker]

You can send a little down here Ross. I'm my ass off.

[Hera]

LIving in Ohio isn't much better. I think my chids spent less than a month outside this year and that was spread out with me transporting them in and out when the weather was acceptable. We were cheated out of a summer this year.
