2014 Atlantic Hurricane Season: Non-Minnesotans arguing about the weather...

Re: 2014 Atlantic Hurricane Season: Non-Minnesotans arguing about the weather...

This has been the coolest summer I can remember in at least 15 years.

So far, I'm not sure if we've even had one day over 90[SUP]o[/SUP] F. Usually we have two or three spells of four or five days each in which it gets into the mid-90s every day.

We've had two or three now in Minnesota and we typically have something in the low teens.

Are you now jinxing my attempt to jinx the weather into giving us at least a few hot days this summer?


Now I am curious about the etymology of such an odd word....

http://www.wordorigins.org/index.php/site/comments/jinx/ seems more plausible to me than the Wikipedia answer. We've seen other pop culture word origins become mainstream.

Farmers Almanac says next summer will make up for it and be a hot one, after a cold winter.

I've been *****ing all summer as the pool has sat mostly unused.

Now that today is the first or 4 days that are supposed to be hot and muggy, I'm wishing for the moderate summer that we've had. It's unbearable out there. :p:D

At last it's gonna straddle a weekend.

Gonna be a deck/pool/frozen drink weekend for sure!

We finally had a day - one day - in which the temperature might have touched 90[SUP]o[/SUP], and it happened after Labor Day.

That raises a question, "when is summer?" For me, there is not necessarily any relation to the dates of the solstice / equinox and the change of seasons. It seems to me that the seasons have different durations depending upon what part of the country / world in which one resides.

As far as "summer," to a certain extent I've always thought that "summer" started on Memorial Day weekend and ended on Labor Day weekend, though I suppose that's the vestigial schoolboy waxing nostalgic.

Where we live now, I'd say that "summer" and "winter" are each about 3½ months long, and "spring" and "autumn" are each about 2½ months long: "summer" would run from about the 3rd week of May through about the second week of September or so; and "winter" would run from about the 3rd week of November through about the 2nd week of March.

Listening to the radio this morning, and I could have sworn that I heard them say with the overnight lows we have coming over the next week that we might be expecting some light snow already. (Forecasted low for Friday is 36, but it looks like a dry forecast, so I don't know.)

I thought that was for either outstate Minnesota or other midwestern states.
