Well, I'd like to know what the winds on Lake Erie off Monroe were around noon
today. I think they were above 20 knots. Strong winds, with big waves,
weren't conducive to sailing, after all. So we lowered the sail and motored
in. We weren't sure we'd make it, though, because we making lots of leeway.
(The dagger board was up, to try to minimise rolling.)
As we got back to Ann Arbor, it started raining.

you Canuckleheads can take off, eh? Feelin' pissy because I took
Fahrenheit as a given?
resp:35 I would expect it to be a little cooler in Pullman, though--
at least from the usual weather reports I look at from time to time.

(my dad and sister prepared for rain on their trip. they're taking the
train out to NYC, then going to Jersey to pick up a new car and drive
it home.)

It's been hovering between 45-55 here in Syracuse. Still warm enough to
be wearing shorts, although I'm pretty much the only one left on campus
wearing shorts on a daily basis.

I was on the west coast, near Grand Haven, on Wednesday. There was a
strong onshore wind with high waves rolling in. Low clouds, some with rain
showers, were blowing in. It was spectacular.

reply to #37, Hi Joe, according to the National Data Buoy Center there nearest
weather station to monroe is on south bass island, Ohio. (looks like it's near
cedar point) the reported that at noon on the 3rd the windspeed was 26kts,
gusting to 29kts out of the south. (I assume kts = knots) you can check out
their websight at http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.phtml?station=sbio1

Farenhgt scale has three good points on it to judge temperatures,
100degrees=near body temperature, frigging hot for outside air,
32degress=water freezes
0degress=salt water freezes.
On either scale -20degrees is equally frelling cold.

Re #38: From my limited understanding of Washington geography, Pullman's
climate is more like Michigan's, temperature-wise -- hotter than Seattle
in the summer, much colder in the winter. It's also quite dry.
Re #44: Technically, it's -40 that's equally cold on either scale. ;>

(#40: they're coming out here *just* for a car? What kind of a car is it?!
Note that I'm assuming a MI origin of this trip...)

re #49: (you're assuming correctly, and it's just a Honda CRX. I think
they were also going to do a little bit of sightseeing in NYC.)
[there are some really nice things about the car, but I'm not at
liberty to say until I actually see it.]

(well, I guess I have known other people who would travel cross-country for
a CRX. and the train trip between Toledo and NYC has some nice (scenic)
parts, as long as you're capable of sleeping in a moving, somewhat noisy
environment...)

You're using Celcius? How does that scale to Celsius? :)

Today was nice, too. The trees are changing, and the sunlight made them
visible.

Lovely today, too, contrary to what I'd expected based on the forecast.

Leslie and I drove out Huron River Drive to Dexter, which we try to
do at least once each fall. (Grex trip to the Dexter Cider Mill is
this coming Saturday!)
