What kind of weather do you prefer? Do you like it sunny and warm or cold and wet? Personally, I like weather that's stormy, cold and windy.

Lots and lots of snow.

I like it moderate, and damp, but not wet. Like a mid-February day in Germany.

As long as the temperature is around 30 degrees F I'm happy. Anything above 50 and I start to get angry.

Depends....for Winter, love the snow; pile it on! I only got to go XC skiing once locally so far this season. For Summer, hot Hot HOT!!! Give me 90 degrees every day. Love the sun. LOVE IT! ('course, my gal enjoys losing the bathing suit on the boat if it's warm enough, so that might have something to do with it!)

Only 3 more months 'til sailing season.

About the only weather I don't like is -21f like it was a few weeks ago. Changing weather makes me feel alive.

Living in New England, you don't really get a choice - you get it all, sometimes in the same day.

I've had enough of the snow this year - another blizzard, another mild heart attack from shoveling. Zen - I'll scoop up as much as I can and mail it to you.

My favorite weather, though, is a mid-summer thunderstorm where the incoming cold air purges the warm humid stuff that always seems to cling to everything. It's a thing of wonder.

The kind of day that you only get in Tuscany; warm, sunny and early in the day so you get that incredible quality of light. Living in the constantly grey North of England I never tire of the warmth, but more importantly the light quality.

The other kind of weather I like is early morning autumn frosts where everything is covered in white and there is a light mist on the fields outside my house until the warmth of the morning disperses it. That's as good as it gets.

Hey bird, I've always wanted to go storm chasing. The closest I've come is landing at Miami in the middle of a lightning storm that lit the whole sky. I'd never seen anything like it.

Clive....you haven't lived to you sit under a highway overpass watching a twister move your car off-ramp to the Burger King on exit 29, or you narrowly miss stepping on live wires dancing around downed power poles :lol:. Weird thing though..you can sense those kind of storms coming...green skies smell funny :)

I've always wanted to go storm chasing.

As a newsman working in Central Texas I have done my fair share of storm chasing. It can be exhilerating at times. I once was about a hundred yards away from a twister (don't tell Missuss Poke, she's under the impression that I was a good mile away), and once I did a live shot (mast up in the air) in the middle of a lightning storm - stupid, stupid idea...would never even come close to risking my neck like that again. But overall, I found it tedious and wet. Thankfully the station I work for now isn't big on weather.

85 degrees F, Partly Cloudy NO wind, 20% Humidity.

But I want winters that last at least 3 or 4 months of under 30 F with some snow.

I like it when it rains.. but I also like when it's clear with a breeze.

when the sky turns pink and purple and friends suddenly look like they could be evil after all that.

we had a few tordanos touch down yesterday in Northern Cali in the city of Sacramento.

The storm came in from the easterns side I understand. Its rare we get tornados in California but they happen. All I saw was a wall of Dark Greenish Black coming towards our house about 50 miles south of Sac going north east. I saw funnel clouds but when I got my camera it kind of dissipated a bit.

I might show you guys it if I find time to render it.

anyways what we got was lots of different color cloud formation and big thunder clouds which California hardly ever sees. It was beautiful and scarey for someone not used to it. And lots of very close lightling. Usually when it lightnings in the bay area its maybe a few strikes and it goes away and most of the time you dont hear it. There were lightning hitting the area like clockwork almost every 10-20 seconds and a few made thunder sounds a second from the flash and they were so loud they rattled the windows.

I know for people in Florida or the south thats normal but here its a treat. we have had nearly 3 months of rain with maybe 8 dry days in the entire time. Thats like 3 years worth of rain in the last 3 months. Im waiting for the big floods to hit the area.
