[bestcee]

I'm finishing my vacation, enjoying the cooler weather. (I know, most people would rather vacation in warmer weather, but I don't think they live in the desert!) And I was thinking about weather. You may or may not know my 8 year old munchkin has a crazy weather channel addiction.

[bonnenuit]

1. What's your favorite weather? Sunny and mid-70s

2. Do you like the weather where you live? For the most part I do. I don't like winter. If I ruled the climate, snow would fall on Christmas Eve and be gone for good on January 2nd.

3. What's your least favorite weather? See above - winter - cold, snow, ice.

4. What's the scariest weather you've experienced? Sitting in the basement through tornado warnings

5. Do you like to watch the weather channel? I will put it on if there's weather alerts, but I don't watch it regularly.

 

[Cherylndesigns]

1. What's your favorite weather? Well, fall, but I'm out of luck there since we live in Florida. LOL
2. Do you like the weather where you live? I don't like the hot sticky summers, but it's starting to cool down.
3. What's your least favorite weather? HOT and humid.
4. What's the scariest weather you've experienced? Last September - Hurricane Irma. It really wasn't as scary as we anticipated, but it did a lot of damage. Just preparing for a storm like that is unnerving.
5. Do you like to watch the weather channel? My hubby is the weather watcher. During a coming storm, it's on all day for updates.

 

[StefanieS]

1. What's your favorite weather? Mild, neither the extreme heat or cold, sorta Spring and Autumn
2. Do you like the weather where you live? Yes, I enjoy cool winters and hot summers more than summer rain with lightning and thunder
3. What's your least favorite weather? Thunder storms, totally freak me out
4. What's the scariest weather you've experienced? Lightning storms
5. Do you like to watch the weather channel? Nope.

 

[IntenseMagic]

1. What's your favorite weather? Hot and sunny! Perfect for me would be low to mid 80's

2. Do you like the weather where you live? I would say half the year I do and half the year I don't lol. I don't like cold ore really even chilly weather at all. Once the temps are below 55 or 60, I'm not a fan and I despise winter with a passion.

3. What's your least favorite weather? Snow, ice, and cold!!

4. What's the scariest weather you've experienced? Really strong winds freak me out a bit because we are surrounded by trees and have had more than one come down in the past.

5. Do you like to watch the weather channel? I used to watch some, these days I just visit weather.com or the weather channel app on my phone every morning to know what to expect, and more often throughout the day if we are expecting bad weather.

[carrie1977]

1. What's your favorite weather? Any weather that allows me to wear capris, a sweatshirt and flip flops....beach weather.
2. Do you like the weather where you live? Nope. I live in Central California so it's really hot most months of the year. We barely get fall or spring like temperatures. Then, boom! It's winter.
3. What's your least favorite weather? Snow. I hate the snow. We spend a lot of our free time at our friend's cabin and it snows in the winter. I usually stay inside when it is snowing.
4. What's the scariest weather you've experienced? I don't recall ever experiencing scary weather because California. Haha!
5. Do you like to watch the weather channel? No...I have my phone for that.

 

[HavaDrPepper]

1. What's your favorite weather? Sunny and 70s/80s

2. Do you like the weather where you live? Spring, Summer, Fall are great. In other words, mid-March thru November.

3. What's your least favorite weather? Winter. I can live with one good snow as long as I don't have to go out in it. Cold weather is the pits and when it gets extremely cold like it did in December/January last year, I can't function. I'm cold all the time anyways.

4. What's the scariest weather you've experienced? Tornadoes and just a few years ago a derecho that did as much damage as a tornado.

5. Do you like to watch the weather channel? Yes, during weather issues, especially if it affects those areas where I have family/friends (I'll be tuning in later this week because of Florence). I used to like turning it on right before going to bed to see what the weather was going to be the next day but these days they don't even have weather on at that time... they have other shows. Those I don't like.

 

[michelepixels]

1. What's your favorite weather? sunny and around 75 degrees
2. Do you like the weather where you live? mostly; could do with less humidity
3. What's your least favorite weather? blizzard . . . or maybe incessant rain that leads to floods
4. What's the scariest weather you've experienced? whenever we get tornado warnings
5. Do you like to watch the weather channel? haven't had much opportunity to but I would be interested for short periods of time. In the Kaiser medical buildings waiting rooms they're always showing some home improvement show on the t.v.; I'd be entertained if they alternated that with weather reports. I don't usually watch a t.v. in places like that though; I'd rather choose my own entertainment on my phone.

 

[Karen]

1. What's your favorite weather? I'd love a sunny 80 degree day with a chilly 55 degree night.

2. Do you like the weather where you live? I love our weather 95% of the time. We get all the seasons and none of them last too long or are too extreme, so I like them all and that we get variety. I'm really looking forward to Fall temperatures and the leaves turning pretty colors.

3. What's your least favorite weather? I think my least favorite is rain... but only because it always happens during soccer season and it's hard to keep dry while sitting outside for a couple hours at a time. I love to watch/listen to rain if I'm inside.

4. What's the scariest weather you've experienced? We were tent camping during a terrible thunderstorm/possible tornado nearby a couple years ago. It was the first time I was actually terrified of a weather situation.

5. Do you like to watch the weather channel? Nope. My sister and other roommate in college used to watch it constantly and the music super annoyed me. I love my weather apps on my phone though!

 

[JillW]

1. What's your favorite weather? Warm with no humidity
2. Do you like the weather where you live? I love the weather from June through November - but I do not dig the long winter months
3. What's your least favorite weather? See question # 2
4. What's the scariest weather you've experienced? Our son and I were home alone one night during a tornado. Stayed in the basement for hours. Hubby was working 3rd shift at the time and couldn't get home due to downed trees in the road. He worked about 15 miles from home and didn't know a tornado had even touched down until he was coming home. (This was way before cell phone alerts! I think it was 1992 or 1993)
5. Do you like to watch the weather channel? I used to but now I am obsessed by the weather app I have on my phone

 

[amien1]

1. What's your favorite weather? Sunny & 80*
2. Do you like the weather where you live? That's my favorite thing about where we live- we have the perfect 4 seasons, hot summers, beautiful falls, snowy winters & a little rain in the spring!
3. What's your least favorite weather? gray & rainy (we moved away from western WA to the sunny side of the state!)
4. What's the scariest weather you've experienced? Earthquake!
5. Do you like to watch the weather channel? yes, when there is a storm!

 

[BevG]

1. What's your favorite weather? Snow, but it is rare here, but that is okay. I don't miss the endless grey days that plague the Midwest. One good snow for the winter and I am happy.
2. Do you like the weather where you live? For the most part. Our fall is beautiful and long...
3. What's your least favorite weather? hot, humid, wet sauna like (i.e. most summer days) -- but really it is the hot summer nights that do me in
4. What's the scariest weather you've experienced? tornadoes, hurricanes, and really bad ice storms (where you jump up every time you hear a tree crack and fall to see if it fell on your house).
5. Do you like to watch the weather channel? I do if I am traveling. I normally don't watch TV at all.

So we are expecting a hurricane this weekend. Although only a category 3 at the moment, it may remain that strong over land when it gets to us. We are only 2 hours from the coast, so it is rather scary. Last time we had one this bad that came inland, people were without power and water for 2 weeks. Hard to know if we should panic or prepare or just wait or leave or ... I am not that worried about flooding, but we have a backyard that is heavily wooded and close to the house.

 

[BevG]

Here is how most react - although the snow does not scare me - just the other bad drivers do.

 

[LeeAndra]

Weather --- learning about it, talking about it, thinking about it, etc. -- is so not my jam but guess what is (sold at my beloved Modcloth if you are interested)?!

 

[cookingmylife]

1. What's your favorite weather? what I call San Diego weather 70s in the day time and 50s at night
2. Do you like the weather where you live? more or less if you exclude August, and sometimes July, June and May
3. What's your least favorite weather? hot and humid e.g August
4. What's the scariest weather you've experienced? the fairly recent East Coast earthquake The tremendous noise at the start made me think dh had fallen down upstairs
5. Do you like to watch the weather channel? absolutely not; I look outside for the most part but then again, my dh always tells me about two or more days before it might come. I got my warning today to go shopping for anything we might need. I told him to go get what he thinks he'd want on Friday. I have books and a full 8 pack of tp. I'm good.

 

[Tree City]

1. What's your favorite weather?
Not-humid, almost crisp days with a slight overcast. Temp around 75. Weather that doesn't turn my hair into a Q-tip and I can comfortably wear jeans and a Tee.

2. Do you like the weather where you live?
No

3. What's your least favorite weather?
If I have somewhere to go, then it's bad rain or snow. (So I guess "any type of bad precipitation" is how to say that lol). If I'm at home with the kids, then REALLY HOT weather, cuz they can't play outside. At least they can play in a light snow or rain! But obviously we're talking about regular weather and not, like, weather events, like hurricanes or earthquakes etc. Cuz then all of that would be my least fave (though I've never been in the middle of that stuff).

4. What's the scariest weather you've experienced?
All I'm going to say is flooding that closed roads and flooded bridges around us, so DH couldn't get home from work. Our home ended up fine, but I was pregnant, 5cm dilated, and on bed rest with an OB/GYN who'd already warned me that I probably wasn't going to make it to my scheduled c-section date. (I had to have a c-s cuz of a BAD labor/delivery experience with DD.) So I worried about the health and safety of my baby and myself, and I worried what my 4yo DD would see if I started labor trapped at home. My experience with her birth told me that "natural" labor/delivery of DS would end up like a Stephen King novel.

5. Do you like to watch the weather channel?
Nope, but I know there are people who do and I respect that. I prefer my "reality TV" be more trashy.

 

[tkradtke]

1. What's your favorite weather?
60's - 70's and sunny... but I do love a good thunderstorm

2. Do you like the weather where you live?
Yes! Because I love that we get it all here. Variety is good... lol!

3. What's your least favorite weather?
Hot and humid.

4. What's the scariest weather you've experienced?
I'm fascinated by weather, so I haven't really found any of it scary. Closest thing was driving through snow storms... but if I would have been at home, I would have been loving it. Over Christmas break we decided to drive from our place in Michigan to Traverse City to see a movie in blizzard conditions...not our brightest move. You couldn't tell where the road was most of the time.

5. Do you like to watch the weather channel?
Just during hurricanes... I'm oddly amused by the poor weather channel people holding onto trees in the pouring rain trying not to blow away while doing their reports.

 

[berniek]

1. What's your favorite weather?
Snow!

2. Do you like the weather where you live?
Oh well, it's ok. We have quite a bit of rain, which is annoying. And I'd prefer a colder, proper winter. But the fact that we truly have four seasons makes me happy.

3. What's your least favorite weather?
Rain. Although I find it enjoyable and cozy when I'm inside, I just remember so many times getting soaked while biking to or from school/work/whatever. Probably doesn't help that we basically ride our bicycle everywhere so when it rains, it RAINS.

4. What's the scariest weather you've experienced?
No scary weather in the Netherlands!
But I do remember being on a ferry from Vancouver Island to the mainland and there literally was a huge storm going on around us. We weren't allowed to go outside or sit at the seats directly to the windows. It was one of the few ferry that dared to take the shot. We were severely delayed and arrived at a different "harbor" (don't know the right word) then planned because that one wasn't save.

5. Do you like to watch the weather channel?
No such thing here. But I never even really watch the weather report, so no. lol!

 

[KarenW]

Weather is one of my obsessions I will admit! Groing up on a farm will do that to you..
1. What's your favorite weather? Specifically a rainy day in summer - love that!
2. Do you like the weather where you live? We get all 4 season's where we live which I enjoy - lived in Qld for a while and it was just different degrees of hotness/humidity - just a bit yuck. Love the heat (nice dry heat, no humidity here) and don't mind the cold if I get to stay indoors (we have a nice warm house)
3. What's your least favorite weather? wind, hate windy days
4. What's the scariest weather you've experienced? Our worst bushfire day, bushfires generate their own weather systems if they are big enough and this one was. Our small city lost 4 people (lucky so few) and way over 400 homes in a day - I was 9 months pregnant, so hot, smoky and windy - such a scary day.
5. Do you like to watch the weather channel? No, but must check our weather radar several times a day, it's an addiction shared by many.
