I am excited to finally become a part of the Seminole family. I look forward to joining the talented athletes, the dedicated students and the friendly people. The great weather couldn't hurt either. I can't wait to play with the skillful players and under the experienced coaching staff. Hopefully, we can make many more runs at a National Championship.

Becky Edwards

Oh, we haven't played North for a while due to weather and a coaching change. We just couldn't get a game.

Jerry Kelbley

We had a few hitches Friday morning that were out of our control, but despite that, everything ran very smoothly and it's been a large success. Vendor response and general productivity was up in spite of the inclement weather.

Jeff Russell

It was minus-10 degrees. That's tough. We weren't prepared for that. We didn't play a game all year in the cold weather. I'm not making any excuses. We still had a chance to win the game. But it was tough.

Michael Vick

We had more active weather patterns in March off the Pacific Ocean and across the Great Basin.

Jim Daniels

Our fingers are crossed for good winter weather.

Tom Kelleher

This is something that is not common. Especially coming off one of the driest months of the year. It's a remarkable pattern in terms of heavy rainfall without the remnants of a tropical system or hurricane. It's dramatic after a long period of dry weather being dramatically broken by long periods of prolonged rain. This is usually a quiet month.

Tim Morrin

Folks, this is perfect weather for today's game. Not a breath of air.

Curt Gowdy

Midland should compete very well with our better flying weather, higher number of training days and available housing right there at the airport. Nothing has to be built to start receiving trainees next April.

Mike Conaway

They made the approach here. They tried to get in. But the weather (conditions) were below minimum.

Robert Stanley

If I can break a sweat, I know I can just blast off the top. But breaking a sweat is not easy in this weather.

Kevin Ellis

I think what makes the 1996 Games in Atlanta (different) from past games is not the ... humidity, but the unprecedented effort that has been launched to insure everyone participating in the games knows how to handle the weather.

John Cantwell

This is a major change in the weather pattern. A low-pressure system is setting up over the West for the first time all season.

Craig Ellis

All of the outages were a result of weather conditions and strong winds.

Penny Storms

It's too early to tell. The bigger factor now is the weather. The longer, wetter rainy season makes deciphering what's happening difficult.

David Lyons

I was very happy with the performance, particularly with the weather. I just told them not to try and do anything extra, just do as well as you could but try not to get hurt. That was our whole objective this week.

Russ Rogers

We view any weakness in Target shares as similar to early November which saw weather-related slowness.

Neil Currie

It's probably the largest weather disaster we've had in years.

Donnie Smith

We're getting ready to play a tough Jacksonville Jaguars team. The weather shouldn't be that big a deal.

Gerard Warren

We think about the lost lives, lost property and lost jobs. We are in fear. Some of us think it might come again. The weather is the same as it was last year.

Kanagalingan Janenthra

The timing was really unfortunate, because the cold weather moved in. And when you have snow and ice you can't move as quickly and safely as you want to.

Alicia Dixon

You must understand in all humility that you are at the mercy of the weather.

Lee Sullivan

There has been a decline over the past four to five years because the weather has not been good to us.

Joseph Made

They have a great tradition at Florida. The weather, the proximity to other tournaments, it attracts the best players in the country and the best coaches.

Carlos Drada

Right now we are basically hoping that Mother Nature and the weather co-operate with us.

Rich Coleman

This is all contingent on the weather.

Charles Long

The weather has suddenly changed. If it rains tonight (Tuesday) as well, we would have to see how much sweating is there on the track.

Daljit Singh

I knew he was a little short that first week. It was no fault of his. There had been a lot of weather setbacks in his training.

Jonathan Roberts

If it's a single woman or single man and the inn is full and there's no weather issue, they're going to sleep on the street.

Matt Sullivan

Everybody did quite well. The only disappointing thing was the weather.

Bill Fritz

The stuff you pay $15 or $20 for isn't going to last long; I've tried it all, too. If you're going to hunt and fish, you're going to run into bad weather. And if you don't want to get soaked, you better invest some money in your rain gear.

James Plaag

The true numbers can only be guessed at. Thousands of Somalis arrive in Yemen every year, including an estimated average of 100 people per day during the annual September to March period of good sailing weather. Last September, UNHCR called for international action to stem the flow of desperate people across the Gulf of Aden after at least 150 people died in a three-week period.

William Spindler

We are still quite strong in spite of expectations for product stock builds. Question marks over Nigeria and Iran and the effects of cold weather in Russia, which have reduced exports, are providing a lot of support.

Christopher Bellew

We get a lot of kids who won't give us as good a look because of weather conditions. It doesn't faze kids from Montreal or Toronto.

Jim Crowley

Lowe's today is in a better position to weather interest rate increases because we've shifted our customer focus.

Robert Tillman

We don't have any choice. In weather like this, the luxury of air conditioning becomes something that's a matter of life and death.

Sandy Smith

The event will be a go no matter what the weather. We'd prefer snow, but the sanction from the international organization specifies that we can use ice blocks if there is an issue with snow. So for each of the competitive teams, we will stack six blocks of ice together.

Nancy Bove

I'm used to this weather. The trip was relaxing, so I'm excited about this chance.

Marcel Siem

He served the ball extremely well, even in this weather. Ryan, he's just steady.

Greg Ladouceur

I'm glad the weather has changed today. It has been the most challenging disasters we have ever dealt with, not just in this region, but in the whole United States.

Gary Jones

Despite rising fuel prices, devastating weather events and a difficult market environment, Chrysler Group products continued to deliver quarterly gains in market share, retail sales and shipments.

Tom Lasorda

You can have money piled to the ceiling but the size of your funeral is still going to depend on the weather.

Chuck Tanner

Thank God we didn't have nasty weather. This is warm for us.

Richard Harvala

We expected to do better here. But everyone was surprised by the weather. We haven't seen rain in Kenya in two months.

Catherine Ndereba

The weather has stopped him from running a couple of times. He's been ready to run for a while and we need to get him back on the track. I schooled him the other day and he seems really well in himself.

Nicky Richards

I guess this is a sign the sun is shining on us this year. We finished the spring on a beautiful day when they were calling for bad weather, and we got through it without getting anybody seriously hurt.

Bruce Wasem

The weather will kind of dictate what I do. It looks like it's going to be warm and clear, which isn't the best situation for me. That allows you to sight fish, and these guys can all do that. I think I'd do better with a cold, overcast day, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen.

Terry Scroggins

They [the National Weather Service] can't predict the weather, only God can.

Terry Green

We'll talk about whatever people want to talk about that day, ... Sports, politics, music, the weather.

Joel Hollander

Right now, we need to play. The preseason is long, and they're dying to play. They've been dragging the last couple of days, although we couldn't have had better weather. We had some good scrimmages and some not too good.

Bill Caruso

Thank goodness the weather is really bad so you don't have a lot of people on the beach.

Bryan Cheplic

We use it primarily for extremely hot and extremely cold weather to have a buffer. So, in case a plant goes down, we don't have massive rolling blackouts like in the Northeast.

Bob Coleman

Our next regular meeting is in November and we're going to be getting into bad weather before then, so we really need to be making a decision before then.

Debbie Davis

[As Theodore Steinberg argues, God is getting a bum rap.] This is an unnatural disaster if ever there was one, not an act of God, ... If the potential for mass death and destruction from extreme weather existed anywhere in the U.S., it existed in New Orleans.

Theodore Steinberg

At this time of year you want the girls to come out of a meet healthy, and I think everybody here did that. It was a great day of competition, and the weather was great as well. It was an excellent event.

Nino Fennoy

We need to wait and see what happens after Hurricane Ophelia passes. The good news is that it's September, and the weather will start to cool. Bad news is until it does that, there continues to be risk.

Bela Matyas

We needed this win after a disappointing loss at Eureka on Tuesday. We executed very well and we hit the ball well even though the weather was cold and windy. There are definitely some things to work on, but this team is young and you can see them learning more and more each time out.

Darcy Rigsby

You know how the English are always like, 'It's so rainy, that's why we're so miserable'? Come to Montreal! You're somebody who thinks you've been through bad weather, and you have no clue. Shut up.

Dave Hamelin

Now that we know that, you can see why these teams are so good. I don't know that you're ever going to see a New England team win one of these titles again. I don't know that Babe Ruth in Massachusetts is going to change, especially with the weather.

Jack Quinn

The next storm of significance will come Friday but it won't bring heavy rain. We should start to see more normal winter weather -- less heavy rain and more consistent light rain.

Tiffani Brown

I came here last week and practiced here and there were a lot of winds. Yesterday and today there weren't many winds, and the weather was perfect for me to play.

Sung Ah Yim

The $64 question is whether the weather is going to cooperate. Usually, this time of year, it does not.

Wayne Shoemaker

The weather is getting warmer, our players are playing better. This is a fun time in the season as we are approaching the conference tournament. We are looking forward to the remaining of the matches.

Cid Carvalho

Sometimes we run into bad weather or just tired legs. It's easy to get worked up over a bad performance. But with track and field, the weekly meets are more like glorified practices.

Ryan Koch

Weather is a great bluffer. I guess the same is true of our human society - things can look dark, then a break shows in the clouds, and all is changed.

E. B. White

Health-wise, we're all pretty good, which hasn't necessarily been the case lately. It's been unusual-I don't know if it's the cold weather or maybe just bad luck.

Conor Niland

It was good to get our record evened up before this break. We've lost two matches to weather and we need to get healthy before we play Northwestern State next week.

Jill Breslin

Extremely mild weather will continue this entire week, stretching the run of mild weeks assuredly to eight. Though cooler, the following week may yet be mild enough to leave a ninth week in the run of mild weeks that have spanned the core of this heating season.

David Salmon

Right now, the weather is somewhat questionable at the Kennedy Space Center all three days.

John Shannon

Obviously, he was getting in out of the weather. (He was at the) wrong place at the wrong time.

Bob Mcelroy

This time of year the weather should be outstanding, ... I don't think the Razorbacks have to worry about smog.

Keith Burns

The boys coming through and winning, we felt like that was pretty big-time. It was cold weather out there, but the kids competed hard anyway. They didn't complain a bit. I was really proud of all of them.

Bill Harrelson

As far as good weather, what we'd see in April, that doesn't really seem in sight.

Ryan Walbrun

This early, our pitching and our defense are our strong points. Hitting, we haven't hit the ball real well yet. I think that'll come as the weather gets warmer.

Chris Mcintyre

[Johnston's neighbors decided to weather the storm because they believed it would be similar to what they'd experienced in 1969 with Hurricane Camille.] Camille had strong winds of 200 mph, but it was much smaller, ... People who lived through both told me this one was much worse. This hurricane moved slow and devastated everything.

Jim Johnston

Arctic energy from Canada was driving steadily southward, while this ball of tropical energy from the hurricane was moving northward. When they met, it caused this storm to explode, in weather terms.

David Vallee

The data and the spot weather forecasts met the fire prescription. It's not like someone was just picking things out of the air.

Roy Weaver

There are bound to be casualties because of bad weather. How much? I don't know.

Ahmed Khan

I'm confident we are going to have a great festival under any (weather) conditions. We are not dependent on snow or cold weather to pull this festival off; snow would simply be the icing on the cake.

Jonathan Witz

This is a new beginning. The weather reports for the future make us nervous, but if you sit and wait for something negative to happen, it probably will. We said. 'To heck with it, we're getting on with our life.' And we see that all over town. People are getting back to normal.

Betty Brown

It was a hit barrage. I think it was the sun. The warm weather came out, so we warmed up.

Clint Wheeler

September comparable sales were on plan, with strength in home appliances and electronics partially offsetting slow fall apparel results due to unseasonably warm weather. Other categories showing strong performance included home decor, outdoor sporting goods, jewelry, stationery, cosmetics and fragrances, cameras and accessories, consumables, seasonal items and pharmaceuticals.

Floyd Hall

I can't see, unless the weather changes, the conditions changing dramatically.

Peter Alliss

It started as soon as warm weather started.

Sandi Reeder

I think that each case has to be decided on its merits, and the merits of this application have to have been outstanding to weather all the storms that have been presented. It's been a long and expensive battle, and I doubt that anyone would be encouraged to want to take on such a battle unless they were confident that they too had as excellent a plan as this one.

Richard Redniss

The southerly is going to cause us a lot of problems in the next few hours ... we are expecting some very erratic weather conditions and it is actually going to make the firefighters' job even harder.

Rebel Talbert

This is the type of weather that people move to Florida for.

Matt Bragaw

It's really a combination of prices and weather. Historically, if we have had good weather for planting and if prices are ahead of the average for the last few years, that has encouraged more corn acres.

Robert Wisner

If the fire index is low, during the summer and depending on the weather, fires are allowed, but if it's dangerous, we put out open fire bans. There is no open burning except with a permit that is given by a local fire chief, but any time you're burning on your own property a permit is needed any time of day.

Jay Aron

With January weather being so warm, the industry probably suffered very few death losses.

Dan Vaught

Imagine the weather during the hottest two weeks of the year.

Noah Diffenbaugh

Some manufacturers have gone away from the automotive industry, but we have found it a niche for us and have stuck to it, ... The secret is to diversify who you do business with so you can weather the storm if a car maker has a rough time.

John Rose

We know that viewing levels increase in September because the weather starts getting a little cooler, it gets darker a little earlier, viewers are already conditioned to be looking for new programming.

Stacey Lynn Koerner

We just kind of made a weekend out of it, although it wasn't a weekend. I figured if we had to weather out the storm, we would weather it out in the air conditioning, hotel rooms, restaurants and bars.

David Dunbar

Just for one moment I did think about missing out. It was very dangerous with the weather, so I just kept my mind on the job.

Jeremy Vennell

Buying from both fund categories of index and spec has become the number one thing we look at on a day to day basis, over weather. We look at what their buying total is, short or long the market, and across all positions we cover, which is livestock, grains, and energy.

Jason Ward

The market is pretty well fixated on the weather and production implications.

Shawn Mccambridge

February was almost a carbon copy of January. About the only difference was we had a little bit cooler weather.

Bill Mezger

These are excellent results in a business environment which included challenges of coping with unusual weather patterns and inflationary cost trends.

John Langille

Overall, scores were higher than I thought. I'm proud of both Haley and Kari. Now we finally have one who has advanced to state. Let's hope the weather will be a little better.

Mary Thomason

Work has been going on off and on. But there have been a lot of days they couldn't work because of bad weather. It's been delayed several times.

Bob Haus

I think a lot depends on the weather conditions. If it's raining hard like last week it makes it tough for us pass. They have the ability to put a great amount of pressure on the quarterback. We expect them to make some adjustments defensively and it's up to us to make adjustments to their adjustments.

Sean Brennan

An increase in turkey abundance coupled with nice weather resulted in a higher number of turkeys harvested during both the youth season and opening day of the spring turkey season.

Dave Swanson

She loved Los Angeles. She loved the weather, she loved the people, and there was a problem with Nancy, ... There was the issue of Nancy's stability and what Nancy would do if Susan left.

Pat Harris

Traders are more focused on Hurricane Rita as this weather event could have a longer-term devastation on the infrastructure of our nation's oil industry's ability to provide energy to citizens.

John Person

In the near term, the markets will continue to strengthen and weaken with the weather, and crude and product prices will be range-bound.

Mike Wittner

It was almost like doing homework last time. We ought to do better this time. The only thing we had to deal with up there was the weather, it was cold both days.

Garry Moore

It's a very unpredictable area. Weather can change on a heartbeat.

Karen Parker

We didn't get to play Dike/New Hartford last year because of weather, so we weren't sure going in what they were like and what they had for players. The girls handled them just fine. Connie Beyer had the most exciting match as she was down 4-7 and fought back to win 10-7.

Donalyn Woeste

Ralph stayed here even after he retired, and he could have lived anywhere. He said it was like the Midwest with better weather.

Lewis Greene

The brawny mix of extraordinary sights-weather, politics, races, imagination, corruption and athletics. They clash and mingle here where the broad prairies that are the world's most fertile collection of farm fields meet the vast Great Lakes that are the world's largest collection of fresh water.

Andrew H. Malcolm

Fleas actually like warm weather. I don't know that in the summer we'll see a reduction.

Stuart Gauthier

We wanted to jump on them early, especially with the weather the way it was. Five innings makes an official game, so that is why we needed to get the early lead. But then, we decided to just put the weather out of our minds.

Tommy Bailey

The Weather Man.

Gore Verbinski

It looks like the weather is going to be perfect for the race, and hopefully we'll exceed last year's numbers. I think I ran the race for 12 years. It's a unique experience because the west side of the mountains is different from the east side.

Mike Coulter

We've been growing, even with the small ads, just because of the quality of the race and the reputation it's had over the years. We have found that the appeal is: the weather is mild, the course is extremely flat, and people just like coming to the beach.

Mike Shank

It doesn't happen every year. It is directly related to the weather conditions.

Ted Dailey

Our tight end has got to be able to block. This is Chicago. We've got to run the ball, especially when the weather is bad. If he can't block, he's not a fit.

Greg Gabriel

Crude stocks were broadly in-line, but distillate and gasoline were better than expected, but was not that a surprise given the incredibly mild weather recently in the States.

Bruce Evers

While flight delays certainly occur all year long, winter weather can increase their likelihood.

Rally Caparas

Considering the time of year and the weather, the turnout was fine.

John Izzo

I just played terrible today. I don't want to blame it on [the weather], but it certainly doesn't help. The kid who won played a great round, so he deserves it.

Brett Stegmaier

I think the department became a kind of family for Scott. He was always there even in bad weather and was always active. He did all the drills and did all the training.

Mark Hennessey

Sales are going the way they did in the last two years, which was after Thanksgiving, things settled down. But we also see, I think, the power of weather on these numbers.

Michael Niemira

They tend to be more ready for severe weather in that part of the world, because it's been so much a part of their lives.

Frank Strait

You have a transition to a warming trend. Because it's switched to warmer weather, we've seen the weather markets sell off and of course, the natural-gas markets sell off as well.

Agbeli Ameko

Yes, people do tip more for good service, but they don't tip that much more. Literally, the weather outside has as much of an influence on tipping as does the level of service.

Michael Lynn

Offensively I was more pleased with her than her pitching. She led off and went 2 for 3. She competed, despite all this (bad weather) that's going on. I'm proud of her. She's a competitor.

Kent Early

With the limited bad weather that we've had I'd say, yeah, the track's a real plus.

David England

Roads really aren't in bad shape. We've probably had 15 or 20 weather-related accidents in the region that required ODOT crews. The snow seemed to come down heavy from 5 to 8 a.m.

Lou Torres

Weather can change the mechanical nature of the airplane, can change anything, so you have to be ready for anything as a pilot.

Randall Harris

There is still concern about distillates. Once a big batch of cold weather moves in, prices will surge.

Rick Mueller

It was a very hard day, but my skis were very good. Very hard race, the weather was very hard.

Andrus Veerpalu

It doesn't get really cold in South Africa, so we didn't really prepare for the weather. And we had never seen snow to that point.

Dale Stewart

With the tournament sold out, great weather and a great field, it's not surprising that were experiencing some delay.

George Breed

We didn't do anything that wasn't in the rules. The doctor was responsible for the decision to give us the glucose during the very tough competition in bad weather. I feel sorry and embarrassed.

Roman Sebrle

Americans have wanted to move to places where the weather fit their clothes, as the old saying goes, where you could live an athletic life year-round.

Michael Kazin

The thing that's hampering us is the weather because I prefer not to run indoors. It's not good for the shins. We (lost only three graduates), but we lost three pretty good girls. With the girls we have back, we've been working pretty hard. It's nice to see some (junior varsity)-type girls stepping up.

Mike Flusche

We do intend to at least have in our tool box a shelter that can be opened if we have a hazardous weather event for local people who need to be sheltered.

Mike Fisher

Weather conditions are gearing up. We're working with military departments to make sure they have supplies on standby, and we are still receiving firefighters from Alabama and Tennessee.

Michelann Ooten

The implication is that raw winter weather may have depressed starts last month, particularly late in the month. Even so, starts remained above the 2003 average [of] 1.85 million [units].

Maury Harris

Being off the field for the last couple of days because of the weather hurt us, but a win is a win.

Corey Pinard

I've raced here for three years, and it's always great. Except for the weather changing every five minutes.

Jeff Ward

As far as I have been able to find out, this is part of a scheduled bridge maintenance project that does not involve closing the bridge, but flagging will be off and on for the next 10 days, weather permitting.

Nancy Wood

We had a late spring break and tough weather. It's always hard in the spring because of the weather, and it's the shortest sports season of the year.

Gary Tague

We were hoping for good weather, which is always nice, but the biggest thing is we just wanted to get out and compete.

Jim Ballinger

The Weather Channel was in Covington, and they showed the old movie theater, and half of it was gone.

Scott Ward

We just couldn't make a play to get over the hump. They just made enough plays to weather the storm. And when we had to foul them late, they made their free throws.

Jeff Mcdonald

The poet may be used as a barometer, but let us not forget that he is also part of the weather.

Lionel Trilling

Without shelter to protect them from the rapidly deteriorating weather, a second wave of deaths could occur if efforts are not stepped up immediately.

Christina Rocca

We'll protect our own citizens first; but, if we can offer help anywhere else, we're ready to do it. There's always the possibility for severe weather when a storm that big gets that close to us, but we know for a fact that it's going to cause damage down in Texas.

John Luther

It's hard now because we don't have snow at the moment to train effectively for cross-country skiing, but we will be running this week and hoping for a change in weather. But the weather isn't hurting just us as almost none of the teams have snow for training, so it's a tough situation right now.

Peter Graves

We've gotten better at the surveys and added more areas we think manatees will be. We've learned a lot about how weather affects counts, and really refined our calculations about the weather and the days that we fly.

Holly Edwards

We're really at the mercy of Mother Nature. Unless we have a miraculous change in the weather, I think we can look forward to several tough weeks ahead of us.

Mike Dombeck

Look at Hungary, where we were expecting very hot conditions and a difficult weekend. In the end, we did very well there. Here, like in Spa, the weather could play its part. So, I am in a strong frame of mind and will go to the track thinking I can fight for the win. I would love to do well in Brazil. That is my main target for this end of the season.

Rubens Barrichello

De-orbit is not perfectly risk-free, but the vehicle is in pristine condition. Our big risk now, aside from the inherent risk of de-orbiting through a fireball, would be weather.

Paul Hill

The warmer weather in October and November depressed prices for the front part of the season, but it's still going to be expensive as we continue through the winter.

Tancred Lidderdale

Our focal point is to put this fire out and get ready for more, because we're going to have some very bad weather here.

Richard Hawkins

The system features the standard meteorological package. Wind, rain, humidity, temperature and other features are measured and collected for historical data. We also integrate the technology into the classroom to study how weather patterns effect pollution in our atmosphere.

Todd Adams

Today was a pretty tough day weather wise. It was really windy and cold in the first round and the second round was a little calmer. We had a couple of bad holes that cost us a lot of shots in that first round.

Pina Gentile

If there were, theoretically, a lot of high obstacles nearby, we would have to reduce the weight of our airplanes in hot weather. We'd reduce fuel (and) cargo first, and try to do passengers last. But it would affect our operations.

Carlo Bertolini

Lloyd's of London was so expensive (to insure the game coverage), it was cheaper for CBC to put a full crew in a stand-by game, whether we got on (due to inclement weather in the primary game) or not, ... I think that we got on the air for about five innings in three years.

Jack Whitaker

It was tough, three weeks away is quite difficult - you've got the travels, the time difference, the new environment, the weather and so many other things.

Marty Holah

I don't think this is a weather-related incident at all. It seemed like fairly ideal flying conditions, particularly for a powerful aircraft like that. It's a pretty rugged airplane.

Joe Hommel

We should have a string of pretty nice, dry autumn weather complete with a warming trend as we go into the weekend. That broad ridge of higher pressure should control our weather until Wednesday of next week.

Roger Hill

In Scotland, there is no such thing as bad weather - only the wrong clothes.

Billy Connelly

Since we're a northern team, it's hard to get teams to come here in February because of the weather. That's why we play in all these early-season tournaments.

Mari Yori

Any network?s going to have dropped calls due to weather or terrain.

Dustin Scott

That movie, for all of the tragedy of what happened during the making of it, clearly shows that whatever anybody can say about Terry and his passion for making movies that sometimes makes his movies more difficult to make, you can't control the weather and you can't control the fact that a guy came to his set with a prostate problem and never should have gotten on a horse.

Charles Roven

It's a good thing our convertible is built for all-weather use.

Jay Spenchian

If the jumps track is already frozen on Thursday, we will action the all-weather meeting.

Will Lambe

The fact that this cold air is coming in the early part of March is quite remarkable. It is fairly late in the season. It is pushing the envelope on the weather we get in this area.

Rick Canepa

It's absolutely pouring right now, and it has been since one o'clock. The weather has been a disaster, but we'll get it done.

Jerry Stanek

After a trial period, which indicated that cocoa trees are suitable to land and weather conditions in some southern provinces, we are encouraging more farmers to invest to expand their cocoa gardens.

Le Van Duc

The real reason to stay away is the weather, not terrorism. Terrorism isn't a threat; this is a safe place.

James Sweeney

PAINTING, n. The art of protecting flat surfaces from the weather and exposing them to the critic. Formerly, painting and sculpture were combined in the same work: the ancients painted their statues. The only present alliance between the two arts is that the modern painter chisels his patrons.

Ambrose Bierce

I think most of the choke points stayed pretty clear this time around (in yesterday's rains). We know where they are, and we watch the weather forecast and try to be out there in advance of those things.

Bill Brennan

Closing for a weather-related situation is one of the more challenging decisions a district makes, but we always place student safety as the primary determinant in making these decisions.

Linda Flashinski

The river is a great place to recreate for experienced rafters and kayakers. Unfortunately, you make a mistake in this kind of weather and it can be fatal.

John Miller

Machines can be helpful in harsh weather, but they can also be dangerous. The most important thing to remember is to be careful, take it slow and follow the safest procedures possible.

Paul Shipman

There is a sense of urgency because of the possibility of another similar (weather) system starting next Wednesday. They'll focus on getting culverts, bridges and so forth cleaned.

Ray Lovell

I think the errors are kind of a product of the weather. We haven't played a game in more than a week, and we haven't been able to get on a field to take ground balls.

Ted Turkington

People in Mississippi are living in tents as we speak. There's an estimated 5,000 families waiting to move into trailers and the weather is starting to get colder there as well. People not affected by Katrina and Rita may not think about it any more, but these people still need loads of help. Money needs to keep coming.

Skip Mcdonald

Once the majority of Americans became middle class, once their jobs ceased to be manual jobs, then they began to look around and choose to live in a place, in part, because of the weather.

Michael Kazin

It was too hard on them, ... The weather was hot and they were cramping up. Plus, when they leave here, they don't do nothing extra, that's all the work they do.

Joe Hart

In the 1990s we had difficulty getting kids home from school, ... It's a precaution because we don't want little kids out in that kind of weather.

Doug Anderson

I'm real pleased with her. Maybe the weather will miss. I don't think we'd be confident running on an off track.

Retailers are getting better and better at managing shipments, but any screw-up, and you lose the customer forever. However, I heard a lot fewer consumer horror stories this year. I think we got a little lucky this year; there were no major weather storms that played with logistics.

Larry Freed

It's a complicated forecast — a potpourri of weather elements — and unfortunately, none of them really that good.

Tony Sturey

You have to adjust accordingly, ... Slow down and always have your vehicle prepared for any weather.

Thomas Arnold

The way the weather is, and has been, the ice is unpredictable. People should use common sense.

Robert Sterling

This year we've been so fortunate with the weather. Even with the rise in gasoline and oil prices, it hasn't made the anticipated dent that we thought, which is a good thing.

Suzanne Esterman

That's what people want, to be able to turn to The Weather Channel and get their local weather.

Peter Stern

This event is always Cocoa Village's biggest and we should greatly exceed last year's attendance if the weather cooperates.

Joanne Youngblood

Since there is practically nobody else around, you're going to have to rely much more on your own ability to get out of trouble should you get into trouble, ... If the weather does turn bad, it can turn very, very bad indeed and very quickly.

Kev Reynolds

I hope to set up somewhat of a legacy. I've been feeling under the weather the last couple of days but I totally had my game face on today.

Roland Schoeman

We were not playing as well as we needed to, and part of that was being inconsistent because of the weather and being on the road so much. The team is starting to put everything together now, though, and we will need that when tournament time arrives.

Hoss Johnson

It?s a lot of fun here at the fair, ... The weather has been beautiful and our turnout has been above average this year.

John Ross

Snow-making technology and the best December in memory has really made it fine for us. The snow is so dense that it insulates itself. [The warmer weather] is not having much of an effect except everyone doesn't have to wear big, bulky winter clothes.

Shannon Mcsweeney

We've used this location for a few past events so this track won't be to new for local riders. The weather has been so bad lately, so we'll see how it goes.
