  • Pattern Change...

    Hi everyone!

    Back from a long weekend with family and friends.  My last one of the summer…and we had a wonderful time.  Thankfully the weather wasn’t as dire as some of the forecast models predicted, and we were able to get outside much of the weekend.

    In weather news, the drought continues to worsen across the driest areas of the country, and unfortunately in the short term, we’re not looking at a lot of rain in their forecast.  However, a dip in the jetstream will usher in some cooler air, and we will get a little moisture over hard hit regions.

    How cool?  Take a look at Chicago’s high today:  69 degrees! 

    That’s pretty impressive considering we’ve been dealing with record setting heat over the heartland this summer.

    The South and West are feeling warmer than normal temperatures today while the rest of the country is at or slightly below average…

    The tropics this week are strangely quiet.  We typically start to really see things ramp up in the next few weeks – but conditions are not very favorable for the development of storms out in the Atlantic.  That should change in the next few weeks as we get into peak season.

    That’s all for now.    Time for lunch.  I over-did it this weekend in the food intake department.    Too many muffins, cookies, bread and wine!    Ahh but what would vacations be like without all of the good stuff, right?  :)

    Have a great day everyone!  Happy Monday!

Truth Fairy or what ever your name is. There is no contract you didn't sign contract and you know that. You know nothing about us so why must you spew your hatred here. Go to another site. We are family here no matter what color, religious or political view. You are not part of our family and we don't want you to be. So please do us all a favor LEAVE!!! I hope this is the last of so called what ever the name is. I want our nice family blog back. Margie will pray for mom and dad. PJ

Good grief. It's been a long day. I just reported my own post! I guess you better watch where you click your mouse! Anyway, hey to all the regular bloggers out there. Hopefully we'll get back to the peace & quiet we used to have on this blog. We had a beautiful day today with a high of around 85. It was rather nice. We have a chance of showers & thunderstorms tomorrow--hopefully nothing severe. I hope everyone has a great evening! Margie

Truth Fairy, apparently Pamela is not telling the truth because there's no way she signed a contract to post on this blog. Janice is the paid Fox News meteorologist and she's the moderator of this blog. We don’t sign contracts to post on the blog. Pamela came on and accused us all of racism & that's what made her and her supporters unwelcomed guests. I happen to have a number of dear friends who are black and I'm sure others on this blog do, too, so it is hateful and insulting to accuse us of something you have no clue about. Janice does not allow hatred on her blog. If you and Pamela want to share your views, you can post on Greta’s blog (http://gretawire.foxnewsinsider.com) since she allows just about anything on there.

Truth Fairy, nobody signs any contract to post on this blog. This is a weather blog and Janice can delete whatever she wants. The truth is Pamela McGhee spews her own form of racism on this blog and we don't have to put up with it. You and she (maybe you are her) can go find a more appropriate outlet for your views. There is not an ounce of racism on the blog so go find a more productive use of your time.

Truth Fairy You are not welcome on the blog. We are a close family and have been for years. It is our constitutional right to ask you to leave. You have no knowledge of what this blog is about. So please do us a favor and leave us alone. Hope all are well and this spam leaves us soon. PJ

Truth Fairy this is a family blog not a political blog. You want politics go to The fox main site or any other news blog. This is a free country and we have a right to delete just like you have a right to post. OK Hi blogging family hope all are well. It is 90 Yeah under 100 ha ha I guess I keep missing JD on TV I have not seen her in a while. Well time to feed the dog since he is sitting in front of me hitting me with his paw. Hope all are well and cool. PJ

Hi guys, and thanks for the well wishes. BG, Happy Anniversary as well to you and your wife. Finding the right partner for life is truly a blesing. Margie, you will remain in our thoughts and prayers as you deal with health issues and declining health of your parents. It is not an easy time for you. Look up a song called "Through the Fire" by the Crabb Family on YouTube. Very powerful reminder from whence cometh our strength. Good news on little Bentlie. Y'all have a great day! Gwen :)

I think some people need to get back on their meds. I guess it's just one of those days.

Hey JB! Happy anniversary to you, too! I hope you and your wife have many more! My parents have been married for 53 years. Their anniversary was back in April. It's hard to watch them both deteriorating but that's a part of life. There must be something in the air today to bring out all the crazy people on the blog. It's not a full moon so we can't blame it on that. Dolores, it seems like those who preach tolerance are some of the most intolerant people of all. God will be the judge. Take care. Margie

JB in Texas

Gwen, Happy Anniversary to you and your husband. My wife and I celebrate our 31st today. I always thought the secret to a happy marriage was to find a woman to be your wife, best friend and lover.....and hope the three NEVER find out about each other(j/k). Hope all are having a great hump day. Margie, your folks are in my prayers. JB

PJ, I hope JD checks in soon, too. We've been having a lot of litter on the blog lately. People really need to learn the proper outlet for their views instead of posting totally inappropriate things on a weather blog. It just shows you how bad this country has gotten. Oh well, Janice will do some junk extermination soon. Thanks for asking about my parents. My mom has gotten very weak & my dad has some cognitive issues. They're hanging in there. I'm tired but surviving. Take care, all! Margie

Happy Anniversary Gwen!!!! Margie how are you and mom and dad doing. yes Strange post on the blog. Hope JD checks in soon. Hope all have a great day. PJ

Hey Gwen, happy anniversary! I hope you and Dwane have a great day! There certainly have been some strange posts on this blog lately. At least Janice will get rid of them when she checks in. Have fun celebrating your anniversary! Blessings to you and your whole beautiful family! Margie

Gwen

Hi guys! Hmmm...strange posts here sometimes! Anywho, hope all our regular family are having a good day. Today is my 37th wedding anniversary. Wish I could go back and do it all again, cause marrying my best friend has been the best decision I ever made. He is definitely a keeper...looking forward to the next 37! Well, that may not be possible, but we are certainly blessed to have one another. Looking for low 90s today in MySouth w/possible rain. Catch y'all later! :)

Good morning all. We got about a inch of rain and it is still going. YEA 72 right now going up to 102 and humid. Hope my Texas buddies got some much needed rain. Hope all are well and cool. May today be a spam free day. PJ

Good morning to all the regular bloggers. I'm just checking in to say hello. We have a foggy morning this morning but it's supposed to clear up. The high is only supposed to be 84 so it will be another pleasant day. It was a little humid yesterday so hopefully it won't be too bad today. Have a great day, everyone! Margie

Margie Gacki

Good one, JB! I was trying to think of a creative way to say what a pain the spammers are and you took care of that for me! I know God gave everyone a brain. It's too bad some people waste it on worthless stuff. I hope your weather cools down soon. Hey to everyone else out there who is a regular blogger. I posted some weather-related photos for my special exhibit on my web site so if you want to see them, check them out at http://tinyurl.com/8mhd2zp and I hope you enjoy! Margie
