Browntggrr Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Perhaps it is just me, but, spring has really been colder than usual. In the spring, I usually have to mow my lawn about every 5 days. So far this year, I have only mowed my lawn 3 times. Being that I live on the shores of Lake Erie, the lake affects the weather here a great deal. I just wanted to know if the Cincy area (as well as other areas down South) has been colder, or is it about the norm. If it has been colder than usual, combined with high gas prices, could have a negative effect on the park from an attendance standpoint. Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Its been cooler down here with lots of rain. The weather now is usually the weather we get in April. Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 I live right in Mason, and I've noticed that this spring has had more cooler and/or rainy days that in recent years. I think you're right about the effect of the rising gas prices. People are pawning stuff just to pay for gas to and from work, much less for a leisure trip to an amusement park. Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Gas prices are killer for me. It cost me almost $100 to fill my car up and at 9MPG that aint cool. Quote
Browntggrr Posted May 22, 2008 Author Posted May 22, 2008 ^ 9 mpg? Holy cow! I get better than that in my SUV. What kind of car do you have?!? Quote
Keysersoze Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 It's been colder here in Columbus too. It sucks, I cant wait for shorts weather, which we are usually having right now. Quote
WooferBearATL Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Horrible so far. Much cooler than normal and far more storms than I've seen in years. And, it's not even hurricane season! Quote
indianapolisman Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 It's also been very hard on the HVAC industry. Since new homes have come to a stop ,and the rising cost of metal eveyones cutting loose ends. The slow season usally only lasts from March through April , but this year has continued all the way through may. God Bless our loyal cutomers. Quote
NatiReds084 Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Its definetly cooler but we will be hoping for this weather once its july and august Quote

Reminds me of when I used to live in the Cleveland area. Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 The weather or the general atmosphere? Terpy, who just HAD to... Quote
BavarianBeatle Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 The weather or the general atmosphere? Terpy, who just HAD to... Just the weather....... Quote
Browntggrr Posted May 23, 2008 Author Posted May 23, 2008 The weather or the general atmosphere? Terpy, who just HAD to... BOOOOOOO! Quote
MarketingExpress Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 The weather has sucked...lots of rain and only a handful of times has the tempature been above 70. Looking forward to the end of the weekend when we are going to see 80's. Quote
DA RIPPER Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 So much for Global warming, where 10 inches above normal on rain fall. Me and 15 friends are still going to BB tomorrow. The Flowriders open, The weather doesn't matter Quote
Browntggrr Posted June 6, 2008 Author Posted June 6, 2008 WHOO HOOO! Today is the second strait day of temps in the 80's in Erie! I actually turned on my AC in the house! It may be premature, but I think summer '08 is finally here! Quote
iChase Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 You enjoy the 80° weather. It's 90 here and extremely humid! Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 It's days like these when Congo Falls is most appealing. Quote
iChase Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 You don't know what I would do to be on that bridge right now. Quote
kicpfan Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 It was cooler, then it got extremely hot and humid. Fortunately, BB is included in admission so I splashed on by there But with the higher gas prices, the attendence has been higher because people are staying close to Cincy this year. Quote
