Michigan weather holds true to the old saw, "Don't like it? Wait five minutes." The past month has been a drunken wandering-monster chart of weather. We have had 90F+ weather, 40F weather, torrential rain, heavy winds, cloudless skies, and fog. In the same day. Twice in August saw the two worst floods ever seen in my neighborhood, one of which had me wading through 1.5m water in the street, trying to clear drains with a piece of pipe. My family was kayaking through the streets, checking on the elderly. All from ~5 minutes of rain.
When all you have is a gun that fires windows, every problem looks defenestratable.
For the time being, I'm in Ashland Wisconsin, which is a tiny pimple on Lake Superior, and in turn, very subject to having weather different from the surrounding towns. At the moment it is still beautiful fall weather, but I've been told stories about the winters. The bay freezes so solid there is actually a "books across the bay" event where you walk to the next town on the ice to raise money for the library. Furthermore, when we get eight inches of snow, Bayfield to our northwest will get 12 inches, and Mellon to our South gets 20.
Games of imagination are never truly done. Yet tomorrow we shall start another one.
In Moscow we're hitting record colds for September. And non-stop rain for the last two weeks, today is the first day it ceased. Hyper-awful weather! Forecast holds more of it, then maybe some sunny days in October... September could be such a nice month with normal late-summer/early autumn weather.
We're having the hottest September on record...the rural fire service is setting the local bushland on fire in a series of controlled burns because we're expecting a very hot and dry summer (especially after last years hottest temperatures on record). With a reduced woodland to burn, hopefully any bushfires will be far less if they do occur.
This year in the UK we had the first Summer worth talking about since 2003, but we're now heading into Autumn, and already the evenings are getting chilly. An Indian summer is forecast, but I'll believe it when I see it; otherwise it's the slow march towards wrapping up warm, chapped hands cupping hot drinks, arguing with housemates about having the central heating on as an alternative to freezing to death.
Btw, it's funny that the spammers are joining in; maybe one day they'll start talking about RPGs.

The south of the UK is wrapped in a sludge blanket of grey. Not really rain. Not really cold. Not nice either. It's the sort of weather where you plan to do a load of stuff outside and it rains for the whole weekend!
