We're entering our second week of 115 degree heat index and it is only June. Gawd, I hate summers in New Orleans.

IS IT WINTER YET???

Lexie, 115 and humid? I've never been to NOLA. Have always wanted to.

We had sun Saturday and a temperature over 70 for a bit. I turned off the furnace for the first time and opened a couple windows. Yesterday was back to normal, 50's and drizzle. Today was low 60's and partly sunny.

We drove up Mount Baker today, where there is still snow, and the road to the top is not open all the way yet (snowed shut), but there were periods of sun up there, and 50 degrees. We even ate lunch outside in low 60's temps and sun.

Lexie, when I hit New Orleans I came at a perfect time.. in the fall.. late October. The weather was amazing, not humid and it wasn't crowded though there were plenty of people around. Even some of the people in shops mentioned that I'd hit perfect weather! Now I did also go to Bay St Louis and stayed a couple of nights in Pass Christian and there was a crazy thunderstorm one of the nights but it was mostly when I was inside, so no biggie.

I'm no fan of high humidity and heat.. had that while living in Michigan.

While waiting for my patient today I was watching CNN coverage of the flooding in Oklahoma City! YIKES! Got to see live coverage when they finally rescued a young woman who had been seen swimming for her life and then finally finding a tree to cling to.. took several boats and a helicopter to locate her and four rescuers also had to be rescued, but they got out. They said another storm was coming in.

When I picked the girls up from softball practice this afternoon (6pm) it was 98. Took the kids to the park this morning, we played ball for a bit, then headed over to the park. After about 20 minutes I looked at the girls just sitting under one of the play structures and said, "Let's go!" They were all so hot, not a one of them complained.

Color and Seamonkey, we only have six months of good weather down here - October through March (which is also our tourist season). However, this past winter was one of our coldest winters on record where we had temps in the low teens.

Most people that come to New Orleans during the summer never make that mistake twice.

I guess fall would be my time there? I am NOT into Mardi Gras / crowds.

Today here it's a little warmer and less humid. Better.

I hear ya Color - Mardi Gras isn't my thing either. But that's only 12 days out of the year. And depending on which month it falls in and what type of winter we are having, it could either be 70 degrees and sunny or 30 degrees and raining.

It's 64 degrees out right now, not quite 3pm. We have YET to hit the 70 degree mark! Sigh.

Isn't Mardi Gras always in Feb? Or is that Carnival that I'm thinking of?

I drove thru Wadena, MN. around 11AM or so, on my way home and around 5pm the bad weather went thru Wadena--tornado, etc. It was raining, windy and hot and sticky, when I stopped to fuel up and you knew something was going to happen. MN had lots of tornado's and high wind damage on Thursday. At home we just had lots and lots of rain.

very rainy with lightning every afternoon. It's getting into the summer weather pattern.

Be careful everyone with those tornadoes!

We have unsettled weather today. The morning was hot and humid. Before noon, a cold front arrived, bringing a thunderstorm. Now I smell smoke from the Quebec forest fires. The air is still coolish, and it's cloudy and overcast. I suspect we have another thunderstorm on the way.

Storm has passed through here. Big lightning and boomers. Always worried I'll lose electric, so WiFi. That didn't happen this time.

Costacat, I just noticed your post of June 17 and no one answered your question. Mardi Gras is the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday which is the start of Lent. The season of Lent starts with Ash Wednesday and ends on Easter Sunday. Easter Sunday changes every year because it is the first Sunday that occurs after the first full moon that occurs on or after the vernal equinox.( first day of spring)

So Easter will occur between March 22 and April 25.
Since Lent is 40 days long, Mardi Gras is 41 days before Easter Sunday causing it to occur between mid February and mid March.

Just waiting for all hell to break loose. Should be here after 11. Our boat has come loose on its moorings but the dock ramp is so swamped I can't get down to it to shore it up. Hoping not to have to chase it down the lake in the morning. What am I saying, I'm not chasing anything. Hoping COLOSSUS doesn't have to chase it down the lake in the morning LOL.

Good luck GAL. It is coming, and it is FIERCE.
It took me 50 minutes to get home on a 25 minute trip. Most stop lights are out, and the sewers are overflowing causing flooding in the streets in my neck of the woods.
Color, did you get that second wave that came through since you posted? I am so sick of rain.
Gotta run to check the buckets in the basement...

Hot, hot, hot!! It's a little after 11pm here and it's 86 degrees!! Today is the 12th day of 90+ degree weather and we have another week to go before it cools down to the high 80's.
