In Ireland I got used to hanging chilly mist non-stop for 4 months followed by warm sunny skies that would break into hail and rain for ten minutes and then return to sun.

God LA, I am so envious of you. I would love to go to Ireland. My ex spent years there and he talks so highly of it. I watch Far and Away just to see the scenery. Maybe one day I will get to visit there.

If you are going to visit do let me know, would be lovely to meet up.Don't expect us to talk like they do in the film, Nicole's accent wasn't too bad but poor Tom spoke what we call "Oirish" here, we don't really go around saying begorrah

We've had quite a warm dry summer here... not too many "soft days" with drizzle all day long as a result the grass isn't quite as green as normal. Ireland is definitely a country where it rains quite a lot but you couldn't set your watch by it!

I sure will! What's funny, is that Tom and Nicole spent months living with an irish family so they could get their accents right lol apparently Tom's didnt take <s>

What kinda interviews? Did you like explain the difference between cumulus and cirrus clouds?

For a few years I was part of a research team, (Doppler on Wheels) that chased tornados. A crew from the Weather Channel generally follows the group. They wanted a female perspective of someone who was part of the team that was there during the May 1999 tornado outbreak in OK. Considering I was the only woman, I ended up getting my few seconds of fame. An hour long interview was paired down into about 60 seconds of air time, but it was replayed several times for the next couple of years.

Ooooh...just like the team in "Twister"? Home of one of the great, bad movie lines of all time:

(When they are being buffeted by a tornado that he's driven right into): "I thought when you said you chased tornados, it was a METAPHOR!"

Hmmmm... [insert sarcasm] one of my absolute favorite movies... [end sarcasm]

There were a few things that movie got right, but I will watch it just to have a good laugh at all the things it got wrong.

I've actually said nothing but "begorrah" since 1987.

(It's had a significant impact on my dating, and I'm seeking counseling)

Yup- life on/near the steamy Gulf. During the day, the heat evaporates the sea water and the wind brings in the clouds. By the afternoon, there is enough to rain.

Better than here- it's only rained twice in Austin in the month I've been here and by "rain" I mean "light spattering of wetness." I keep asking if this is normal- everyone says "Well, we do get rain at other times of the year and we are on water restriction now" but I haven't gotten a straight answer of whether that happens EVERY year.

wow..you got spattering???? you are lucky....I'm in south austin and we only get to "hear" about rain can't remember what it looks like....LOL
