So, Broo has had quite the plethora of weather situations, from the downpours of '04 to the throat crackling drought\dust conditions in 2007. What kind of weather does everyone hope for this year?
Personally, I would like to see a hearty mix of sunshine, overcast conditions, and light rain.
I hope it's a lot like last year, personally. The slight wetness kept the dust away without being over the top, and I heard that the shower during MMJ was a religious experience.

I'm a huge fan of rain, keeps the dust away, clouds keep the heat mild, and you get free showers too! Last year was the best of the past three in my opinion (as far as weather is concerned)
07 weather sucked...HOT DRY... I am still coughing up dust...Someone told me at roo 2007 was a 100 year drought in Tennessee. So we should be fine until 2107.

2007 was so hot and terrible that it made last year seem like the most perfect weather ever...so let's have another 2008, but move the Friday night rain a little later so that way it's raining in the early morning, keeping everything nice and cool for sleeping in.

Yep this I loved last year!
Does anyone remember the website where it predicts the likeliness of there being rain on certain days?
The weather was really good to us last year, but I expected it to be dry like 07 (my first roo) for some weird reason. Anyway, I didn't think about preparing for much rain, and my tent flooded. Noobie advice: prepare for lots of rain. Tennessee weather is completely random.

Its all about 05. I am going to will the weather back to the way it was in 05.
Exactly! 05 was amazing, 07 was a dust bowl, so I'm praying for a little bit of sunshine, a little bit of rain, and no dust!
I do have to say, though, after being at Rothbury last summer where the 75 degree temps during the day with no humidity were amazing, it's gonna be hard to find a better place than Michigan for a festival...although the 45-50 degree weather at night was horrible! At least we don't have to worry about that at Bonnaroo!!!!
Last years weather was almost perfect. There was only one time during the whole festival where i was bothered by the sun(and duh i was at the Which). A little bit of rain is always essential and last years was perfect because it was during my morning jacket (epic). The way the weather has been this year is Middle TN i wouldnt expect the heat to be too bad at all. Bonnaroo is only a month and change away and it was bloody 60 degrees today. But whatev theres plenty of bands to keep me busy to where the weather wont be a worry

So I'm currently in Knoxville (sitting in the UT library typing on Inforoo instead of working on my thesis proposal) and we have a nice light misting rain that has been coming down for two days now. This type of weather, dreary as it is, would be PERFECT for a day or two on the Farm. Barring a storm, some light rain, especially in the late evening\early morning hours would allow for a few hours more of sleep and would reduce the risk of dehydration and sunburn. True, mud would eventually become a problem, but I would rather be wet and muddy than scorching.

I'm hoping it doesn't rain a lot... I've been thinking about this the past few days because of all the wet weather we've been getting in the South lately... I'm hoping for sunshine at the peak of the evenings, overcast the better part of the day and a little rain sprinkled here and there (late night/early morning)
^ The fortunate thing about the wetness here in the South is that we won't have the horrific drought conditions we had in 07. If it rains at all, I hope it is during the time I am trying to sleep. Anything to mitigate the temperature that would allow for an extra hour or two of sleep would be great.

Agreed, '07 was absolutely awful. I just hope it doesn't rain all weekend because here recently, any time it has rained (which has been pretty often) it's rained for days at a time.
^ We should be pulling out of the spring rain patterns before June. I echo your sentiment on all weekend rain though; a nasty storm front could put a damper on the weekend.
I loved last year!
