Sodamo, up North a bad day is below 0˚, here in the South it's a day above 110˚, what is a bad day on the Big Island?
Hey Don
Have to think about this. Our lowest temp here at the house was 58F one morning. Of course it still made to mid 70's that day.
Likely 2 choices for bad.
1 would be if the winds shift right and we get extremely heavy VOG (like fog except from the volcano). Not only do we lose the view but headache and hard to breathe.
2 would be periods of continuous rain during a period of trying to get something done. When doing our swimming pool we had to schedule the concrete pour 3 times. Of course, it usually has good periods in between as it takes a few days between scheduling.
Other than that, can't think of there being a really bad day weather related. I grew up in Maine and lived a few other states, so I know about n'reasters, blizzards, hurricanes, freezing my *** off, oppressive heat/humidity, black ice, etc.
A couple years ago (2008?) besides the volcano going off, a number of reported earthquakes, a hurricane warning, a minor tsumani from one of the quakes, and a couple of wild fires on the Kona side all the same week, I like to remind folks that even with all that not one person died as a result - so not so bad.
Life is good
