Hey Everyone, How's Your Weather?

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR(This weather is not for humans) (or fairies)

 

LOL. Not like here. I've seen 8 twisters in one week close enough to be on local weather radar. One a mile & a half or so from my house.

So move already. Between Memphis, Nashville, and Tunica (gambling & shows; mini Las Vegas) there should be work around here. More C&W, less rock though. But snow or ice down here is an Event, with a capital E.

 

True. We only get 1-3 a season. Although the last few have been pretty close to my house...heard the freight train one day, and it hit the apartment complex that's in my back yard.

I have a few options, but the problem is losing my seniority. The way it works, you start at the bottom again when you move somewhere new, until you jump through all the hoops again, which takes a couple of years.

And to bring this a little bit back on topic...holy crap! I just looked outside, and although it only actually started snowing about 35 minutes ago, already you can't see the footprints in my front yard from the meter reader this afternoon.

 

11:30 pm 8 inches of snow so far, Weather advisory till 4pm tomorrow, Locally talking near 16" near Lake Michican.
TG for 4wheel drive!

Dam! I sold my snowmobiles.

I remember when I was a Kid we used to Hoogie, that's where we would hang on to the bumber of a car & slide around the neighborhood, I still have a scar on my Knee, I also rememder picking asphalt out of my knee, dry spot on the pavement! that was over 20 years ago. "Aha, Young & Dumb"

 

When I was young we called it skitching. LOL.

When I got old enough to drive, I'd kick the rear end far sideways to shake 'em off. If they though I was crazier than they were, they'd bail out. Not that I minded towing kids around, but it's dangerous.

 

It's here...I live at about the "D" in Grand Rapids.
Winter Storm Warning in effect... snow has begun to overspread the area from west to east. As the snow picks up expect hourly snowfall amounts to reach close to one inch per hour through the early morning hours. Travel will become dangerous overnight so if it can be delayed please do so. Roads will rapidly accumulate snow and blowing and drifting will also occur.

 

Going sledding this morning with the kids. Got at least 8 inches last night. More coming, Winter storm advisory will probably cancel the Crossing gig I have tonight. Oh well, sledding is gonna be fun. We'll post pics.

 

It's been pretty here We felt the effects of a cold front pretty much this whole week but since yesterday, it's been warm again. Only the mornings are really chilly. And actually, maybe not even the mornings. I went outside late last night and it wasn't too cold - it felt really good!

 

How's my weather?

The pizza place isn't delivering tonight, the roads are too bad. Like that.

 

30cm of snow at least has fallen and it doesn't appear to be subsiding. Windchill -30.
The dog is full-of-beans and totally excited by all the snow. The cats are snugged-down in a fleece blanket and do not seem to share in the dog's enthusiasm for playing a game of arctic-sled-dog-racing thru snowsqualls and winds gusting to 100km, in the living room.

I think it's time for another walk.

 

Well when I got home this evening, it was already minus thirty two C. Good news, too cold to snow. Bad news .... Too cold for this chick.








Phantom .... back on schedule. See you there.

 

woooo about 3mm of snow last night, hope more comes

 

The river has ice dams in a couple of spots, causing severe flooding (some a record high flood stage). Hopefully it'll break up in a few days, but the temps have been WAY too low for it to do so, and we keep getting more snow, which adds to the problem. Looks like something out of a sci-fi movie downtown.

 

how about 2 1/2 feet in New York
feel free to clean my drive way

 

hheheheh the purple planet

i don't know could be a little expensive

 

Halo I'm with you on that one - snow party in NY!!!

 

haha $756 round trip times 2

 

That is a bit steep, tell them to swim instead!

I believe i can find a ticket for less than $200, and I would love to clean your drive way if that means I can come to NY!

 

Its snowing!!?!?!

WAAH!!! Blizzard!

 

You forget i am yoda, the jedimaster, i can use the force to stop all your snowballs and also throw many more than one at the same time

 

And here's me complaining about a measly 9+ inches or rain. Hope all you in East USA are safe from the snow, and warm. Hope you in the WestUSA are safe from the floods and you in the MIddle USA are OK, too. Bazza

 

well, bad news. it stopped snowing in NY. There's still some snow left on the ground though.. But u guys wouldn't want to start a snowball fight with snow that has been stepped on... and dogs have..uh.. peed on.

 

Normal river:

River with 30-mile (and growing) ice jam:

And this is the LUCKY part! It's not even flooded where that was taken. No one has even a guess when it might break up, we won't see temps above freezing for at least another week.

 

I can't believe it. It warmed up just enough to snow, small snow flakes. I sure hope we don't get much of this stuff.


Anyone want to send this gal to some beautiful, tropical island? Something nice with warm temperatures and lots of beach. Oh man, I can almost feel the rays and smell the ocean.

Well, I am off for a nap. Considering the weather ... good place for me to be right now is bed.






Phantom .... see you tonight, same time, same coffee house.

 

64 degrees f.

 

Wish I was there.

 

So bloody cold! ***shivers***

Only a few degrees below freezing, but it is so damp, it is nearly impossible to dress warm enough...

My office has the comfortable temperature of 15 degrees C... Lol. I want to go home!

 

37F here today. Nice layer of ice on the car this morning.

 

fog the last few days, and it started to rain yesterday.........o just looked outside, and it's raining again..........wobbles.....if the sun would just peek out, might get a little warmer....

 

But it was 60 yesterday

I hear ya brother, I am damn tired of the fog and the rain. The heat will be here soon enough though.

 

Currently, 23F, windchill 7F. And getting colder...the clouds are supposed to clear out (I can already see bright sunlight in patches), so there'll be nothing to keep what little heat there is from going away.

The low temp for tonight had a downward arrow on the news instead of a number.

 

Another night in the minus thirties. I've decided to put my self on a vacation in a tropic setting. Tonight I intend to turn my heat up to 78, run me a cool bath, find some funky tropic music and sip a glass of spirits in the tub. I figure I might be able to con myself into believing I am somewhere warm.

( These long cold winters are really starting to get to me)

 

Sounds like a good plan SMT. Don't drown in the lake.

 

Thanks G.T., I actually was thinking about the possibility myself. Considering just how tired I am ... maybe I had better find a way to keep my head out of the water.

 

@hey bluesy, that what a differience of 40 miles makes, the temps yesterday only in the mid 40's, you guys must had some sun.......wobbles

...sun broke out, during the pm, but still chilly.....I like the 60's

 

Must be another dang cold night tonight. My house is popping so much and so loud, I can't get to sleep. Someone want to send some warm weather this way. I'm outta here for the weekend so maybe have it here for the first of the week.

 

It snowed a little this morning.

And now the sun is shining. Not quite so cold any more, really pleasant outside! Not that I see much of it from my bunker, but it is nice to know that IF I couold see it, it would be nice!

 

aughghghg, it's raining again, sun came out for a bit yesterday, got in a short ride,,
no such luck today
