this has been a horrible weekend with the rain and the wind has been flooding in some places and i haven't seen the sun come out in days. Its been so dark in the daytime i have to turn on the lights just to see that is something that in the daytime i have to turn on the lights, because it is so dark outside. It is that bad where you are? Have you seen the sun recently? I hope the sun will come out tomorrow, because when it is like this it is so depressing.

It was beautiful this weekend, but today it's cloudy and we've had a little rain. I'm ready for it to be sunshiny all day for days. (NM reporting in...)

yeah we had really nice cool weather for about 4 days it was in the low sixties nice and cool and sunny then went to crap for the last 3 days rainy and windy and nasty and much colder, which wouldn't have been too bad except for the nasty wind.

i live in the equator where there are lots of sun throughout the year. sometimes too much that we have to stay indoors or wear sunblocks when out of doors. and with the rain we complain as well. despite this i share your plight. i know its been very difficult. it pays to be strong and keep looking forward with hopes and optimism because help is on the way...

yeah me and the sun don't get along too well as i burn quite easily when it gets too hot so i have to make sure i have sunblock when it gets really hot out you don't realize how nice it is to have a sunny day until it gets like the last 3 days had been with nothing but rain so i am glad that is finally over :-)

The sun was out but briefly and it was weak today. I am just glad it isn't snow. I can finally walk on all the sidewalks now! It took a month for the snow to melt.

yeah the little i saw of the sun was buried by a big cloud, but it is supposed to get back into the sixties again by the weekend so i am looking forward to that i think that spring may finally be ready to spring on us.

My local Yahoo weather shows partial sun tomorrow and full sun Wednesday. Can't wait.

i may have seen it for about 5 minutes late in the day today so maybe that is a sign that tomorrow will be better, although it was pretty buried by a huge cloud so who knows.

Hi, timhinyy. I am sorry to hear about this. I have heard from tissah that they have flooding in her area too. I have seen the sun since yesterday. It was sunny in the evening time. I hope that the rain clears up so that you can see the bright and warm sun smiling down at you. We have not had any bad weather lately. It rained last week but that was all. We have mixed weather here. Sometimes it is hot and other times it is very cold. I call this "sick weather." I do hope that the weather gets much better where you are living at.

it appears that today is going to be much nicer the sun is already out and most of the clouds are gone and i am hoping it gets to the upper fifties or low sixties today.

We had sun yesterday. Cloudy today though. I think a real part of it has to do with the daylight savings. I wake up so much later than before. I am glad Spring is on it's way. More sun and warmer weather. When I lived on the East Coast I understand the days and weeks of no sun. That was so difficult to stay positive. Of course I suffer from SAD.

its like i said yesterday kind of jokingly the sun will come out tomorrow and it has it is beautiful out today perfect around sixty and sunny and it is looking more like spring everyday. it will be nice to have that extra hour later to enjoy the nicer weather and the sunshine after doing some inside chores.

right where i am right now, we're having a wonderful sunny day although the heat is a little too intense for me as the season here has been creeping well into the summer already. wish i could share the sun along with the intense heat with you. we could do nicely with a little less heat and you could do very nicely with a little more sun.

well you can keep that intense heat right where it is i don't care for it was it is really hot i prefer it to be cooler, but nice sixties and low 70's are just fine for me, but if it gets really humid here it can be really uncomfortable too.

I also can't take the long periods of absence of the sun. However, I am lucky enough to have a perfect sunny day right now. Or well, it has already come to an end, it's late evening there. But I've been having such nice weather for a couple of days already. But I know what you feel. In our country the weather tends to be very tetchy, so there are sometimes long periods of rain and cloudiness, it's very depressive. We had like 4 or 5 weeks of rainy and cloudy weather in a row once, now that was awful!

yeah it is kind of depressing when it is like that, but at least it is rain and not snow so it will just dry up when it gets sunny again so its not too bad at least i won't have to shovel it.

yeah sometimes i forget when it is about springtime here it is another season in other parts of the world so i will take it when it is cooler over it being really hot as that can be uncomfortable too.

I know exactly how you feel , I get all depressed when its stormy outside and my feet turn purple. I really despise the cold. Where do you live ? It been raining over here for the past couple months and now its finally begining to stop.

For me here in the Philippines always e see the sun during day's time if there's no rainy season about your question don't be marvel because it is in the bible say's that when the Armageddon is near the thing's would happened that it is not it will happened.

its opposite here. Were getting so much heat because of the burning sun even upto 35 to 36 degrees C. its so hot! Cant sleep right with this kind of weather. I would go to a higher province to get a cool weekend.

i just hate when its one extreme to the other either you get it really hot or its really cold and windy and nasty can't there be a mild middle ground here. I also have a tough time sleeping when it is too warm out feels like an oven inside that is why they invented air conditioning.

Hi timhinvy, I agree its been a very dark weekend. It was pretty bad where I 'am at also. But, I have to admit, I do love the rain sometimes. I'am not a big wind person though, but, the rain can be nice. I think thats one of the reasons why we appreciate the sun so much. I guarantee when the sun comes back it is going to be a beautiful sight. So, hang in there the sun will appear. I personally lit some candles, ordered out and watch some tv, between power surges. I had gotten out some books, just in case we had lost power all together. Thank goodness we did'nt we were lucky, but, there were some people not so fortunate hopefully they will get the power restored. Don't let the rain get you down, yes it can be depressing sometimes, but, it can be very relaxing and I think we all can use some of that sometimes. (smile) the sun will shine again....

when its warmer outside i dont mind a nice cool rain, but when it is dark and dreary and windy and miserable out it is pretty depressing and not much fun, but like any other storms makes you want to stay inside and not go anywhere for the day.

I don't like rainday.I feel sadly when i can't see the sun.Yesterday was very cold,and i thought why the spring is still cold .there was no sun,no bird,no flowers and no fresh air.But today is happy day,because sun rise again.Hope your sun will rise soon.

yeah and when its so rainy and so windy it does not help. it should improve soon, hopefully by tomorrow it will be a little nicer and maybe the rain will go away that would be nice. All the rain made what was left of the snow go away so that was good and now we can look forward to the spring and the flowers and hopefully some sun and some reasonable temperatures.

It's quite the opposite here in our country most especially in our region. Not only are we suffering from the extreme heat and dryness known as EL NIÑO, our electricity has limited hours because our power plant is hydroelectric and therefore the current is very low. How I wish we could trade weather for even just one day.

well that is something that you have there we have not had any power problems in our area that i know of even with the not so nice weather and the wind the power has been fine. I do not envy your situation there as i do not like it when it gets very hot i like it to be warm but comfortable if its in the 60's that is perfect to my liking.

actually not too cold consider there wasn't any sun, but still drizzly and light rain and the sun tried to peek out for a couple minutes at the end of the day so maybe tomorrow will be better one can only hope.
