64 dead, devastation, millions without power and you guys want to complain about being uncomfortable due to humidity

Actually I want to report that I took a bike ride and actually felt the tiniest bit chilly this afternoon.

and there's the immature hurling of insults.

I’m sure there’s a drought somewhere people are starving. But that’s elsewhere as well and neither here nor there. This is a forum and a post for issues here in DC where it’s hazy, hot and humid well into fall. There’s nothing stopping you from creating a post about hurricanes for those interested in that separate issue.

DCURBANMOM is not just for DC! It has many partipants from Maryland and Virginia (and LA and NYC have there own subforums). I am the poster above with flooding in the backyard (keswick, VA) and experiencing a tornado warning yesterday in Charlottesville,VA while driving 3 miles west to Crozet, VA, where indeed the rotation was in effect. I had to shelter until it was determined that a funnel had not formed. So, yes, I am allowed to have a voice here.

Go start your own thread FFS. This isn’t that hard.

You are nuts. Just plain nuts.

Disrespectful considering there have been fatalities. You're up past your bedtime, kiddo.

+1. 44 dead in five states and millions without power and you're going on about being uncomfortable in humid weather

What’s worse? Complaining about the weather on a weather forum; or using the death of 44 people as a way to virtue signal about how much better and more appropriate you are?

Anyway, since you’re that dense - I was hoping that this post could discuss whether this weather here actually is unusual (ie possibly caused by the SAME climate change factors making hurricanes worse.)

But, you go on with your pathetic self.

love,
OP

Just report all of the off-topic posts. They can go start a new thread.

Except it’s not cool.

It’s muggy.

It must be so hard being you.

Why not go on every single board and castigate people for complaining abouy anything then? Stop being such a ninny.

Real fall will happen after the storm.

This is very scientific.

I feel like we will have 3 days of real fall then winter.

No DC doesn't have winter anymore. We will get two months of fall (October and November) and then "The Dark Season" which will not involve snow or really temperatures below freezing but will be miserable because it gets dark at 4pm.

December is "Holidays" where it's cold or sometimes warm and definitely dark but no one cares because of twinkle lights and parties.

Then we get 6 weeks of cold and dark but no snow. Some people call this winter but I call it "Seasonal Affective Disorder" or alternately "Spring Break Planning Season."

Then we get "Fake Spring" for around 6 weeks -- it's windy and rainy but also not as dark and we'll have one or two days that make you think spring is starting but it's not. Those two days will result in the cherry blossoms blooming early so that peak cherry blossoms happen when it's still really windy and kind of unpleasant.

Then we get two weeks of actual spring. Try to enjoy them because then we get 5 solid months (June-September) of "Swamp Season" which some people call "summer." We are in the last days of this season now. That's why many of us are enthusiastic about fall.

Yes, and summers weren't so relentlessly hot.

Climate change.

Or one of those 100 degree days with no clouds and no humidity, just hot bright blue sky

NO! Those are the worst! I'd rather a day like today. But crisp and cool is my favorite.

It's crisp in DC a couple of times in the fall, if that. It's not a crisp climate.

+1. Disrespectful and tone deaf to post about being uncomfortable due to weather when just southwest of DMV, and caused ny weather, there are 55 dead, communities leveled, and millions without power (and now the OP will come back and hurl insults)

Yeah, here I am. You’re ridiculous.

It’s been juicy outside. Very moist.
