Friday time again. Looks like we might actually make it to the end of the week. This week has been one of amazing rain. I think it started last Friday and has been off and on for the whole week. We also had a cold front move in so we have been under the gun chill wise. I think the temperature got to eighty degrees only once this week. For us weak island dwellers, this is a real cold snap. It is pretty funny seeing the brave tourist types from up nawth walking down the beach with shorts and short sleeve shirts while we natives look like we are living on an ice flow. This week’s JohnKu (a Term coined by Words4jp) looks at the weather.

Sunny days always,
Until the Earth tries tilting. . .
Then, paradise lost.

Our paradise was lost as temperatures went from the high 70’s to the 30’s. Happy Friday, John!

This week had strange weather. Low/mid 60’s on Wednesday and then it dropped into the 40’s (high 30’s at one point) by Thursday night. Hope you stay warm and have a fun weekend.

Heading into a cold snap here, too. Personally, I’d like the snap to stay around for a while. Gives me a chance to wear all those scarves I’ve knitted over the years 😉 Happy Friday, John!

We usually see a little cold weather come January, but people in parkas can be seen when the temps drop to 65.

Yeah, 65 is the time for long pants.

Having spent several years in Palatine and Marengo IL, I can certainly agree with you. I was blown off my feet on some ice once.

On which island do you live? It is getting cooler her in sunny Southern California. We are actually having some cloudy days and bit of rain last night. We need much more rain. I put the heat on this morning.

Is it a big island? I will google it. Do you have to worry about hurricaines like Galvestin?

It is about 15 miles long. Yes, we worry about hurricanes and have not been hit since the 70s. That is not to say it can’t happen. We are as prepared as we can be. The nice thing about hurricanes is they don’t strike without warning (like earthquakes) We used to live in Sonoma CA. and were in a few of those.

You have lived in some nice places. Sonoma is one of my favorite places. We were up there last Christmas. So beautiful!

We hated to leave, but unless I wanted to be unemployed at 60 we had to move for the job.

That was quite a move. I know the job situation sucks for anyone over 50.
