I almost jumped in the concrete we were pouring as it had steam coming off it as we were pouring on the 2nd floor today. Hope tomorrow is a little warmer

Define Bad >:D.

Wet season is not too bad. You have rain inthe afternoon to cool things down. Now the build up is adifferent matter.  If you don't mind been wet 24 hours aday and changing your clothes every time you go to do something because of the sweat it's not so bad. It's not called the crazy season for nothing.  :o

The cold snap is supposed to hit us on the weekend with temps dropping both overnight and during the day. Monday is supposed to be the worst with advise for campers to take really warm clothes.
