(5
degrees C for you civilized folk) to days in the 90s (35 C) in about a week.

Yes. I like spring. I feel cheated that we got no spring this year...
although the wind has been pretty good so far.

...It finally made 52 here about an hour ago and we've had
rain for 18 days straight now....we live a block up from the Grand River,
which is at 50 year flood stage (fortunately, we live on top of a BIG
hill...)

You're complaining? We're still having drought. Although it has rained
here recently, we are far below normal water table and monthly rainfall
is well below historic averages. I'm glad I'm not a farmer.

BTW it's only smart to live on a hill... people who build and/or buy
homes in swamps and bottomlands should expect to get flooded. It's just
like people who build/buy homes on the Outer Banks should expect to get
cleaned off by hurricanes.

But then again, if people thought ahead more, we'd still have
problems... they'd just be more difficult to solve...
