How's the Weather There?

ahochaude wrote:Yep. I'm the same. I hardly get sick, but when I do, it takes me about 2 weeks (at least) to get over it. But I still go to work anyway. NEVER call in sick. Just give it to the other workers. I just love to share the wealth! :hehe: :hehe: :hehe:

'Tis the season of giving.... :hehe: :hehe: :hehe:

ha, ha! aho, i'm exactly the same!! :rofl: if i'm not totally bed-ridden and near-death, i'm coming to work! in the last seven years of full-time work, i think i took less than 5 days of total sick leave! :nut:

No they really don't talk like that up here, like in the Movie Fargo. :finger_bleah:
But some of them do though, like for instance the older people who lived here for a long time do.
It does sound funny when you come here and hear some of the older people talk like that.
Just the people in the smaller towns talk like that.
But not the ones in Fargo.
:beaten:

Uh oh, here come the Santa Ana winds... Bad hair days are coming. :sweat:

One thing about "winter" in Hawai'i -- and, no, that is not exactly an oxymoronic statement; the weather does get cool and windy (to clarify, there's no snow here, except on Haleakala) enough for Hawai'i folk to bundle up and pronounce stuff like, "ooh, it's chipper, today!" much to mainlanders' quizzical or confused stares -- is that the WAVES tend to get high. Did jholic mention this already? Waves can get up to 50 feet, and, yes, surfers DO start appearing in numbers on the beaches . . .

Sigh. You HAD to ask. :hehe:

Don't friggin' laugh, now, OK? We're an archipelago, after all:

Current conditions are about 78' F, partly sunny, relative humidity 59%. AND IT'S VERY COLD AT NIGHT, DAMNIT (Hawai'i people, some support here), like . . . near mid-60s.

I coulda' guessed some of this specific information, but, I confirmed it here (and is where you can get current conditions and forecast for the Hawai'i): http://honoluluadvertiser.gannettonline.com/weather/detail/HNL-detail.html?city=Honolulu&state=HI&zipcode=96813

yeah, and when the waves start pounding the north shore, traffic becomes pretty awful up there. everyone's trying to get there and watch the waves. i think right now, they're still pretty "small" (20-30ft).

bmwracer: for us hawaii guys, cool is like 50-60F. and it's freezing (cuz we're in our shorts and tanktops). wondering why we don't wear our sweatshirts and coats? that's cuz hawaii people don't OWN sweatshirts and coats! :rofl: :shakehead:

Hhaha. Not to disrespect you, jholic, but, The Man doesn't wear tank top; t-shirts (Crazy Shirts, to be specific; you folks on this board ever heard of 'em? Probably THE best t-shirt you can ever own and wear) all the way when I'm at home. Hahah, it's just that tank tops are a pet peeve of mine . . . just my opinion, but, there's just . . . something wrong with that apparel in mine eyes. But, hey, all power to ya'll's if you like 'em :) . My other "wear" consists of various black baggy nylon shorts, boxers, black slacks, many aloha shirts. Does the job. Us Hawaii folk are lucky we don't have to "store" clothes away with the changing of the season, eh, jholic?

P.S. The Man actually owns one black suit. For missions. :notell:

ha, i guess i'm the exact opposite. just love tanks cuz you can just throw it on and go. plus, it's so comfortable in hawaii's hot weather!
you probably don't like it cuz the armpit hairs are all sticking out like people's got afros under there! :hehe:

i've got about 20-30 aloha shirts myself. i'm not sure if i could work at a job where i'd have to wear a suit everyday! :bleh:

feels like that in hawaii too!

If you think 50F is kind of cold, last winter, there was a few cold mornings where I was. The temperature was around -45C (about -49F ) and with a nice wind from the north, the temperature dropped to something between -55C and -65C ( -67F ~ -85F ). :bleh:

The only fun part was you could drop water from a glass on the ground and it would almost freeze instantly. :hehe:
