We're not going to sugarcoat it... We're getting screwed. Now is the time when we are supposed to be braking breaking out the flip flops flip-flops, trying out the new warm weather gear, fueling our mojo, and gearing up for the unofficial start of summer Memorial Day Weekend. But instead it's cold, it's grey, it's windy, it's "damp" and it's starting piss everyone off.
The news doesn't get much better. It is supposed to stay cloudy like this all week with showers likely throughout. And even though temps will eventually rise a bit up to maybe low 70s, even the National Weather Service sounds like they are in dispair despair.
[WE WILL] HOLD OUT HOPE THAT WE CAN DRY OUT AND SEE A RETURN TOWARD NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR MEMORIAL DAY.
Well, at least it's not a total washout. We'll keep our fingers crossed for this weather pattern to clear out in time for at least part of the weekend. Otherwise we'll be eating soggy dirty water dogs and watching beach volleyball on our Crazy Creek inside.
Interestingly enough, New York City is 5 of the top 50 destination for Memorial Day this year according to a Priceline.com press release which breaks the city into different neighborhoods. Upper Midtown was 2nd to Vegas, then Midtown West at 4, and Upper West at the 5 spot. If only we could bounce to a different neighborhood for better weather.
Editor's note: The spelling and grammar corrections above were submitted by the watchful eyes of our loyal readers. Sometimes, in our haste, we overlook some of these mistakes. Whoops. Anyway, it still doesn't change the fact that the weather is now even colder, more grey and even... more gray.

Looks like another sucky weather Memorial Day. Time to get the raincoat ready for a rainy BBQ. What a week to start up the unofficial summer season.
I'm going to be a nit-picky blog reader: It's "breaking out the flip-flops," not "braking out the flip flops"
OMG, I second that emotion.
"even the National Weather Service sounds like they are in dispair"
DESPAIR.
As in "I despair of Gothamist ever using a spell check."
Interesting that priceline is promoting Niagara Falls, NY as a bigger destination than Orlando. Both are genericamerica at their worst, but Niagara Falls (on the US side) is an absolute dump that no one steps foot in.
I'm another nit-picky blog reader: It's gray, not grey. (The e is the British or international variant; the a is the American variant.)
(sigh)... a brutal return to the Gothamist ranks. So I'm a bit rusty, my editorial parents would be ashamed as I usually spell check my posts prior to posting them.
Flip-flops it is. Despair, OMG sorry DESPAIR was it? I concede those indeed.
For what its worth... my family, having spent time in England, taught me to spell grey with the 'e', and quite honestly, both are acceptable here in America interchangeably. So I refuse to concede that one.
Here's fun read on this topic: http://www.bernzilla.com/item.php?id=232. I will be much more careful next time. Thanks for paying attention.
You might even want to use Celcius for temperature! You're right; grey is also acceptable, but British spellings are proper when used consistently (neighborhood should be neighbourhood). But I was only being nit-picky to be a smart-ass. :-P
What's this, the third year in a row we're having a terrible spring?
If the weather's consistent with 2003-4, this summer will be nothing but cloudy, grey, and cold. Will it ever get better?
>>>>You might even want to use Celcius for temperature!
That's Celsius ... with an s ....

KP--the point about "braking out the flip flops" comment was the "BREAKING", not the hyphenation of the footwear. Unless we are, in fact, stopping for shoes.
And, back on topic, the weather really does suck. This feels like Southern winter to me, and it's been 90 degrees at my parents' house for the last two months.
I like overcast cool weather.
Overcast, cold weather at the end of May is for Washington state.
You're right! It's Celsius. I hang my head in shame. My brother, spellingfascist, has reprimanded me. And yes, this weather sucks!
I can't believe it, my co-worker just bought a car for $72255. Isn't that crazy!
