It's going to be another long cold winter.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 23 June 2003 09:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Gareth it's snowing in NYC today so I can't think about summer.

i hate the system. it feels like Summer has only just begun but we've already had the longest day....still at on that longest day i did literally experience one of the longest nights of my life, har

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 23 June 2003 11:00 (twenty-two years ago)

No that's 'Gone til November' but I want it to 'stay' til November!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 23 June 2003 11:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Unless of course you're talking about the autumn.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 23 June 2003 11:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I love it when the longest day is over!

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 23 June 2003 11:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Of course, June 6th 1944 was *The* Longest Day.

― Lord Byron Lived Here, Monday, 23 June 2003 11:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Hurrah to wasting whatever daylight is left!

― Lara (Lara), Monday, 23 June 2003 19:09 (twenty-two years ago)

four months pass...

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Sunday, 26 October 2003 12:53 (twenty-one years ago)

you don't understand

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Sunday, 26 October 2003 16:49 (twenty-one years ago)

It's like summer here!

― adaml (adaml), Sunday, 26 October 2003 16:50 (twenty-one years ago)

The temperature outside is actually below 70 degrees!

Yay for cooler temperatures!

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Sunday, 26 October 2003 17:58 (twenty-one years ago)

The sun will have set by the time I leave work tomorrow.

― oops (Oops), Sunday, 26 October 2003 20:27 (twenty-one years ago)

...and your humour is as black as them

― Daniel (dancity), Sunday, 26 October 2003 20:31 (twenty-one years ago)

dunedin to thread, to cheer us up!!

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Sunday, 26 October 2003 20:47 (twenty-one years ago)

and auckland, too!

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Sunday, 26 October 2003 20:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Also: We Love Winter

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 26 October 2003 20:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Also: In my second thread, I ask "Did he know about the failures of fuits?"

― N. (nickdastoor), Sunday, 26 October 2003 21:28 (twenty-one years ago)

My brother has gone to New Zealand.

― Mark C (Mark C), Sunday, 26 October 2003 22:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Nice thing about it getting dark by the time I get out of work is that I sometimes get to see into the lit-up basement rooms of UCL's Darwin Building (where Charles D's house used to stand) where there are lots of weird skeletons.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 26 October 2003 22:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Nick that is the best thread ever. I would post that on the thread itself but don't want to sully it with my rather dull comment.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Sunday, 26 October 2003 23:01 (twenty-one years ago)

dammit, it's dark already!

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Sunday, 26 October 2003 23:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I work in an office without windows. Depending on what time I leave for work in the morning it is entirely possible I could go for several days without seeing daylight.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Sunday, 26 October 2003 23:13 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm freezing cold at the moment and have to wear a sweatsuit to bed, but I love it, dammit!

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Monday, 27 October 2003 03:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Yesterday total darkness was achieved approximately 6:10 pm. Wow.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 27 October 2003 13:44 (twenty-one years ago)

It is a beautiful day though isn't it? The view over the Chilterns is slightly misty with the Autumn sun trying to burn through.

― chris (chris), Monday, 27 October 2003 13:46 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm jealous of your Chilterns view chris (but not to the extent that i wish to work in Uxbridge)

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 27 October 2003 13:49 (twenty-one years ago)

would be a shorter journey though?

― charltonlido (gareth), Monday, 27 October 2003 13:50 (twenty-one years ago)

yes it would be much shorter

it's getting dark now :( :(

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 27 October 2003 17:01 (twenty-one years ago)

it is dark :(

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 27 October 2003 17:15 (twenty-one years ago)

The sunset was just a thing of absolute beauty, the sky went the richest red I've ever seen, and it's still just about there now. Like Oxford is on fire or summat

― chris (chris), Monday, 27 October 2003 17:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Darkness can fuck off. I won't enjoy my walk home through the park half so much now that behind every bush a nocturnal prowler will be waiting to attack. Also I might trip over one of those small dogs people insist on letting out in public in the evenings.

― Archel (Archel), Monday, 27 October 2003 17:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Do you think a hatred of darkness may give The Darkness trouble in their Christmas no1 campaign?

― Pete (Pete), Monday, 27 October 2003 17:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Really beautiful sunset tonight! Wahoo!

Are the Darkness covering Slade?

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 27 October 2003 17:34 (twenty-one years ago)

In what?

― Archel (Archel), Monday, 27 October 2003 17:35 (twenty-one years ago)

A minor

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 27 October 2003 17:36 (twenty-one years ago)

treacle?

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 27 October 2003 17:39 (twenty-one years ago)

How do nocturnes get any sleep during the winter?

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 27 October 2003 17:48 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know, how do nocturnes get sleep during the winter?

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 27 October 2003 17:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I wish I had a witty punchline to that, but alas, I was simply pontificating the shortness of the span of time in which the sun is up during the winter and wondering if night-time dwellers' sleeping habits are affected by the longer nights. :(

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 27 October 2003 17:55 (twenty-one years ago)

ah sorry dude, I'm the complete opposite of a night-time dweller.

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 27 October 2003 18:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Is nocturne really the term for nocturnal animals? Not some musical thing?

And why would they have any more trouble sleeping in the winter than diurnal (?) animals do in summer?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 27 October 2003 18:39 (twenty-one years ago)

two years pass...

septembers not so far away

― -- (688), Monday, 28 August 2006 14:59 (nineteen years ago)

hooray! Perhaps temps might fall below the 90s soon!

― Sam: Screwed and Chopped (Molly Jones), Monday, 28 August 2006 15:01 (nineteen years ago)

we're 90 or below all this week. yay!

― sunny successor (katharine), Monday, 28 August 2006 17:32 (nineteen years ago)

Same here -- what a relief! The longer term forecasts (up to 14 days) say temps below normal, FINALLY.

NOAA 6-10 day outlook
NOAA 8-14 day outlook

I R weather nerd.

― Danny Aioli (Rock Hardy), Monday, 28 August 2006 18:26 (nineteen years ago)

I love it when the longest day is over!

Me, too! That means that the damnable summer with its infernal heat is on the way out and cool, crispy Autum, Halloween, and my birthday are not far away...

― Party Time Country Female (pullapartgirl), Monday, 28 August 2006 18:30 (nineteen years ago)

let it snow x 3

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Monday, 28 August 2006 18:32 (nineteen years ago)

RH - i dont understand your weather maps, but i do know that the temp wont exceed 80F this week in the promised land (wisconsin) and i also know yesterday's high in anchorage was 63F which is ABOVE average. northerners have it so good.

― sunny successor (katharine), Monday, 28 August 2006 18:35 (nineteen years ago)

I'm not sure what those numbers mean, but I don't think they're temperatures. I just go by the areas of color.

― Danny Aioli (Rock Hardy), Monday, 28 August 2006 18:44 (nineteen years ago)

it's thundering here!

― Sam: Screwed and Chopped (Molly Jones), Monday, 28 August 2006 18:45 (nineteen years ago)

Ok, so we're after the solstice, but we haven't reached the equinox yet.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 28 August 2006 19:08 (nineteen years ago)

this weekend was total Fall in the Northeast (and some of the leaves have been falling for at least a week - do they always do that this early below the Fall line?), but Indian Summer should be back around soon.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Monday, 28 August 2006 19:15 (nineteen years ago)

time to go hiking

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Monday, 28 August 2006 19:15 (nineteen years ago)

The trees here aren't quite to the point of changing colors yet, but it's been so oppressively hot and this weird combination of humid and dry (barely any rain all month), all the leaves have gone sort of brown/green. Autumn please come soon before the trees die permanent deaths.
