We Could Talk About The Weather

Gravity waves and the jet stream? Huh?

Yeah, that's just plain nuts. The amplitude of gravity waves is so minute that it took years of looking before anyone found solid evidence that they even exist.

[kb2vxa]

A new kind of climate change? Waddya fa-kin HIGH?!?!? According to greenie robotnik Farton Fanney, science fiction writer and futurist on drugs, this looks like Picasso on LSD.

[KD8TUT]

79 here and clear skies... storms over night.

[KG4CGC]

Hasn't been unusual here. Well, unusual for the new normal. Hot (upper 90s to lower 100s). Dry. Mixed with upper 80s, lower 90s and moist, not wet.
The afternoon pop ups do seem to be bitchier though. Seeing more hail in these little storms and higher wind speeds. We just had a long stretch of the hots with the drys until just last Sunday. June was starting to feel like early to mid August. Still behind on rain after 3 years of heavy wet conditions. Before that, in 2012 we had a dry, blast furnace Summer.

[n2ize]

So far so bad here.I can't wait till summer ends. But at least it's been moderate here compared to many other places. And once again, a surprising lack of local thunderstorms for the 3rd year in a row. Then again we haven't had any high 80's or 90's yet. Hopefully we won't and it will lead us right into winter.

[XE1/N5AL]

And once again, a surprising lack of local thunderstorms for the 3rd year in a row.

You can have some of our thunderstorms!

[KG4CGC]

Forecast keeps calling for afternoon thunder storms but they're all 50 miles north in the thicker mountains. Winds have been really kicking up, bringing the clouds but no rain. I see the rain clouds but they blow on by.

[NQ6U]

Forecast for Lemon Grove, CA, USA (-117,32.7) as of 3:33 AM PDT:

Boring, as usual

Thursday: Partly cloudy skies. High around 80F. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph.

Thursday Night: Clear early followed by mostly cloudy skies overnight. Low 62F. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph.

Friday: Partly cloudy skies. High 81F. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph.

That's been the same here. Last week we were under a severe thunderstorm and tornado watch but nothing materialized here. Today there was a call for heavy thunderstorms but it seems they were very isolated, some spots got hit other spots a half mile away nothing.

[n2ize]

Hot and humid as heck today. I had to head over to the hood for a bit and by the time I got back I was drenched in sweat from head to toe. I don't want to rush the time but I'll be glad once the summer is over and things start to cool down.

Same here in Lake Michigan Beach MI.

I went out and worked on my VHF/UHF antennas and came in drenched from head to toe.

[KG4CGC]

Blast furnace and high wind conditions today until 8:30 when a low moisture storm rolled in with great bluster and noise.

[n2ize]

It was wicked outside today. Hot and extremely humid. Only place that was comfortable was Da Hood and I don't mean that metaphorically. It overlooks the Hudson and there was a cooling breeze from the vast river. Otherwise it was brutal out there and in the direct sun it was 10X brutal. Supposed to be even more brutal tomorrow and over the next few days.

[KG4NEL]

4 mile run today, about all I could manage. I think I may need to take it indoors this week.

[KD8TUT]

Raining now... storms incoming. No lightning, been running a lot of WSPR lately because I don't feel like talking. Will run through the incoming storm.

However, here in our forest, we now have 4 emergency generators on our and our neighbor's property. It's become an observable phenomenon that as the density of emergency generator capacity increases in an area, the proclivity of storms to go around an area increases.

This only relates to fully installed whole-house generators.

The density of emergency generators stored in garages also has the same effect on storms hitting harder.

[N2CHX]

It's been so hot and humid outside this summer I can barely stand it. I've unfortunately had to spend most of it indoors. Kinda glad I'm not having to work in hot transmitter buildings any longer, although some facilities I've worked in were actually air conditioned.

[KK4AMI]

It is so hot here, the Albemarle Sound is like a sheet of glass. I think I saw a Bald Eagle in the water paddling behind some seagulls.

[WZ7U]

Yeah it's hot. But it is summer. Actually been kinda pleasant, mostly normal or under normal temperatures around here for the most part. So much so the garden is confused and is way behind in production. Just now throwing in some above normal temperatures, which happened in early June, which helped screw the garden up in the first place.

All in all, the trees are changing and losing leaves early. Been a pleasant summer for the most part but I suspect we will be paying for it soon enough.

[NQ6U]

It's been a very pleasant, mild summer here right up until the last couple of days. Currently 101°F in the back yard.

[KG4NEL]

Supposed to go back to rain every day tomorrow, so I'll have to ride to work with the doors and roof on again. How boring.

[KD8TUT]

Cool and sticky today. Got about 24 hours of rain.... now cool and sticky.

No way to get comfortable unless I run the space heater along with the air conditioner.

[VE7DCW]

The weather people have issued hot weather advisories for most parts of Vancouver Island and mainland parts of southwestern British Columbia until the middle of next week with sunny skies and temperatures in mid 30 degrees Celsius...... maybe record breaking stuff coming up is the warning! How nice! :roll:

[KG4CGC]

Low 90's with sweltering Southern steam. I've felt every kind of humidity. This is a stingie humidity. Steam that stings.

[KD8TUT]

Still unable to remove enough moisture from the shack.

[WZ7U]

As of 17 Aug - It's supposed to be 100*+ the next three days in the Willamette valley. Lucky me, being down river (Columbia) from them usually results in a 5-10* difference, down. Being on the lower Columbia river delta has its upside, besides being closer to the coast than the big city (Portland) nitwits, unless you consider Longview, WA the big city. It's big the eff enuf for me to avoid unless absolutely necessary, plus it's always hotter there than out in the woods.

I grew up in suburban Denver, lived in Portland almost 18 years and now wouldn't go back on a dare/bet/threat for anything. Why it took so long to move out into the cooler areas is beyond me. You metro area dwellers can keep the temperature increase from all that concrete and asphalt.

[KG4CGC]

Still unable to remove enough moisture from the shack.

I don't know that having that horse in there with you is helping out with that.

[VE7DCW]

It's 3:30 in the afternoon i'm ready to go to work and it is a record breaking 36 degrees Celsius here on Vancouver Island! 40 degrees in Port Alberni! Thank goodness for air conditioning! :yes:

That was my July sans humidity.

[XE1/N5AL]

Today's high temp was 73F (23C).

[WØTKX]

Meanwhile here in CO, the upper peaks are getting their first dusting of snow.

Cold front moved in, a bunch of soaking rain at lower altitudes.

Today's high "down" in Denver, 75, low about 50.

Ahhhhhh.

Ahh, iron. Don't miss throwing iron one bit. Miss the rest of it, but not that.

I see a Studebaker in your future.
Mean while here in Georgia they are on their 59th day in a row of 90 plus. Not one day below 90 since June 21st.

[n2ize]

It's been so hot and humid outside this summer I can barely stand it. I've unfortunately had to spend most of it indoors.

Indoors is the best place to be during this kind of weather. Particularly if you have air conditioning. I've fortunately been able to spend most of the very hot days in a 67 degree air conditioned room. The times I had to venture outdoors it was brutal. Last Saturday is was about 100 in the shade and probably 120-130 in the direct sun. What was really scary was when we lost power for about 15 minutes on the hottest afternoon of the summer. I was worried that we'd be stuck for hours with no power and no ac or even fans. Fortunately it came back on but at a low voltage (about 104 VAC). Fortunately even at 104 VAC I was able to keep the AC running and the computer network on. There were a lot of scattered outages due to the heat.

[kb2vxa]

So why don't you do a John Wayne and go North To Alaska? Good old fashioned air conditioner overload of 1950s infrastructure when only theatres were air conditioned. It happened here a few years ago when the Point Pleasant Feeder from Oyster Creek Nuclear failed, JCP&L blew a fuse on the hottest day of the year. I decided to cool off in the bath tub, no such luck, the faucet made a slurping sound and no water. Oh lovely, the water company has no Diesel backup generators! I couldn't even get a drink until evening when the lights came on. They wised up and ran a parallel feeder, then two years ago they ran another. I watched them connect it at the substation up the street, as I went about my business I heard the sound of a heavy arc and the power went out. <giggles> It didn't take long for them to do what they should have done, identify the phases and connect them correctly.

That having been said, now the weather, a typical August day here at the Jersey Shore. Unfortunately the Benny repellent is a bit late, but they'll have fun sitting in the homeward bound traffic jam in pouring rain, lightning and thunder. I just feel sorry for Public Works cleaning up the mess they leave in the rain, soggy garbage everywhere is harder to get up.

[n2ize]

Oh I intend to. I am bound for Northern Alaska or Canada's Yukon.

Yeah !! It used to be more common here when ConEd was still running 1950's infrastructure in Westchester. Fortunately they upgraded and these are less common. But still, every so often on a hot day BANG! Most of the local outages were local xfmr blowouts or overheated cables. Nothing too widespread.

Yeah, they screw up sometimes. :) I like the timed circuit breakers. If a fault occurs and the breaker goes out it will try and reset. If the fault isn't cleared it will go out again. After the second or third time it will just give up and remain open. Brings back the sequence of events when Hurricane Sandy hit us.

Heat wave has finally subsided here. AC is staying off most of the time so I have my antique 1920's GE fan providing a soft breeze running on low speed. Speed control is an autotransformer in the base of the fan.

[KD8TUT]

Serious thunderstorms right now. Drenching rain and thunder- moderate lightning. Trees blowing around hard.

Antennas disconnected... awaiting incoming power outage.

[KD8TUT]

More storms... no real lightning activity. On the radio in the storm :P

WTH... you only live once.

Here comes TS Hermine. Batten down the hatches to all you East Coasters. I wish I had my generator hooked up by now. I know one of these storms will result in a week long power outage. The power lines come down here if somebody sneezes.

[W5BRM]

Sittin just south of Atlanta. Lookin at the radar. Looks like it's gonna miss me.


And here I was just waiting for a good blow....



Dammit

[KG4CGC]

High today 73 because of Hermine. Low will be 64. That's downright chilly!

[PA5COR]

Just a little dip in the summer, some rain for the weekend, after that a new high pressure area will bring summer back.
Looking at the llast 4 "winters" which were just prolonged autumns i rather enjoy the good weather while it lasts.

As kid i liked winter and extreme weather snow, cold, ice skating etc, now i just hate it when the days get shorter and nights get longer and cold returns.
Since my son and me cleaned out the house and dumped 25 cubic meters of stuff on the scrapheap the skates are gone as well.
THe only things left are what is really used and not stuffed in the attic for decades without being used.
Including the ZX 81 computer magazines.... ;)

[AA1OH]

Hermine has past by now-just a little rain. We did lose a few trees (pole pines) around here, one fell on the laundry room but not much damage. Portable NATO discone antenna stayed up just fine! 71 degrees now, our 90 degree plus days stopped at 69 days in a row for a new record (old record was 56 days).

[koØm]

Yes, we could talk about the weather but, a picture is worth a thousand words.

The storm water drainpipes filled up quickly, blowing manhole covers into the air and causing flat tires and broken suspensions. The storm drainpipes then backed up into the sewage system causing flooding from bathrooms and into basements.

There were so many wrecks, stranded cars, open manhole/sewer covers that the Cincinnati Police and Fire Departments were stacking calls until there was enough officers cut a lose from the traffic hazard to resume "Normal Radio traffic".

When normal radio traffic began, there were four Overdose calls immediately dispatched; don't know how long they had been holding for.

This area was not "on a Flood Plane", they have never have wide-spread flooding like this.

it gon rain

[NQ6U]

You know you live in Southern California when you're wakened at 02:00 by what sounds like thunder and you have to look out the window to see if it's weather or the end of the world.

[KG4CGC]

90º days and 73º nights. Pretty consistent. A little unusual for this time in September.

[WZ7U]

Weather is here, wish you were beautiful

[NQ6U]

It's been raining here all day (for the first time since last May) thanks to a residual moisture from Tropical Storm Paine. Looks like about 0.3" total so far. And—no joke—the national weather service actually called me to ask about the weather this morning. I'm a registered weather spotter and their radar showed a big cell right over my location so called to ask for the current rate of precip. I had to disappoint them because all I have is a simple rain gauge that accurately records totals but doesn't give rates.

For Wednesday we're expecting 86 and 66.

[KE6KA]

It was 100 on Sunday. It will be in the low 70s the rest of the workweek. Then back up into the 90s again, then back down to the 70s.

[KG4CGC]

92 now 66 tonight.

Hottest September in my memory and I've been in this area since 1968.

[VE7DCW]

It's been in and around the low 20 degrees Celsius for the last few weeks here,unusually high for this time of year with our monsoon season almost upon us.Now they are saying it will be an El Nino/La Nina neutral winter so nothing big should happen weather wise around here supposedly.........Carl can keep the bad weather in his area ......... :yes:

Its never any fun driving an empty truck. Damned crosswinds can play hell with a van trailer. But, you already know that.

I caught the sarcasm in it though. Sorry about your luck. Hope you got to your pick-up ok and in time. Motor safely, driver!

on edit - was that you honking at my pickup truck on I-5 SB (mp 24ish, WA state) last week? Red colored Volvo?

[KG4CGC]

Well that one was screwed up. The low was 74.

[NQ6U]

Its never any fun driving an empty truck.

There was this one memorable trip across Wyoming on I-80…

The truck wasn't empty, but it might as well have been—I was hauling a load of empty aluminum cans that weighed less than 5000 pounds (2300 kg). To you four-wheelers out there, 5000 pounds is akin to nothing on a big rig.

Haha no wasn't me. Mines a brand new Freightliner Cascadia. 7k miles on it so far. Been running the southeast and midwest for the last few weeks.

Still in the Dallas area. Annual DOT phys time. Still raining but no bad storms. Calm winds. Fronts gone through. Cold and humid this morning.

Mine was a load of plastic cups in Kansas. 7200lbs. Thunderstorm in May. Caught a gust that picked my trailer tires off the ground. Almost went over but fought it back down. Was pulling seat cover cloth outta my butt for a week afterward...lol

Yeah, know that feeling all too well.

On the positive side, I practically flew up Telephone Canyon. I don't think I even took it out of 10th gear.

[KK4AMI]

Damn hurricane coming up the coast. Hurricane Matthew will get the nation's mind off of politics for a while. My wife thinks it's going to be a Cat 3, she has me filling sandbags to protect our pecan tree on the shore.

[KG4NEL]

My mind has been off politics anyway...

[WZ7U]

Man, I feel for youze guys over yonder. We get rain, just not all at once

[KG4CGC]

85 degree days. 65 degree nights. Still warm for us for this time of year. Growing up here, we were wearing at least a jacket by now. I remember many years where September was filled with long cold rains and while leaves are starting to drop off a little, they are either green or brown.
Of note, June July was very dry and very hot. August was very wet and more temperate until the last week when it became hot and humid and mosquito friendly.
Humidity is so low now that the water in the cat bowls dries up immediately. That for me is a single day.

[PA5COR]

Sunny day, 18.1 C max, nights getting colder now 8.9 C cooling by the cloudless nights.
At 53 degrees ( a bit above New York) not too bad for Autumn.

We didn't have any winter last 4 ones, just one or 2 nights with a bit of frost, we'll see how this one goes.
Can't be lucky all the time, in my younger years i saw temps as low as -20 to -25 C here, but that is history....

If it keeps up like this, I suspect we won't have a real Winter except for a sort time during Jan/Feb. Something might get everyone in the mood though for a week during December.

80 degree Novembers have happened but only for a day or two at a time. If I were to predict I'd say that this year November will feel more like Septembers of my childhood.

[PA5COR]

At 64 i've seen some changes as well, warmer all the time, the North sea water at our coast is hottest in August, this year September added even more heat and now September is the new "hottest North Sea water month" ....

Records of warm days seem to come every day, rainfall in August/September very low, North pole ice 2nd lowest ever since 2012 record low, jetstream slowing and more meandering keeping weather systems locked longer, see last winters USA/ Europe.

Oh well, enjoying the sunny day bit windy from the east ( Siberian) wind blowing cold to here, just 15 C.
I don't mind mild winters, they keep the heating bill low ;)

[KK4AMI]

I survived a Cat 1. A weeks worth of preparing for Hurricane Matthew and a tense windy rainy night and it's done. Got a little clean up to do. My neighbors dock ended up on my beach.

Note to self: Don't neglect the generator, wife gets very cranky without electricity.

[PA5COR]

Getting nippy here, sun with now and then shower of rain, 13 C, if that goes on with the cold nights of 3 C then i might consider to light the pilot flame of the gas heaters here.... not yet though, still 19 C in the house.

[KG4CGC]

Expecting the first 50 degree night. Break out the heat.

[NQ6U]

In the 90s F inland today but nice here on the water.

(BTW, as I type this, my feet are below sea level.)

[PA5COR]

Sunny start of the Monday mrning, cold night at 3.9 C expecting 13 to 14 C here, staying the same rest of the week.
Easterly wind, Siberian blowing over europe to us.

[W5BRM]

Low 60's here in sw OK. Heading for upper 70's to lower 80's. Sunny with a light thin layer of clouds. Gonna be a great day!

[KD8TUT]

About 60 here on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan. Sunny. Not too humid.

All in all just fine.

[n2ize]

Finally it's cooled down here. And it's going to get cooler near the end of the week. I had about all the summer heat and humidity I could stand. I'm looking forward to this fall and winter. Only depressing thought is one of those 2 clods is going to get elected later this autumn. :(

[WZ7U]

The usual around here for this time of year.....cool, cloudy rain.

Well........ the Pacific storms are headed this way! Excerpt from the Environment Canada warnings page:


5:22 AM PDT Wednesday 12 October 2016Special weather statement in effect for:


East Vancouver Island

The first in a series of powerful October storms will approach the BC coast late tonight bringing heavy rains and strong winds. A second storm is expected early Friday while a third will make landfall later on Saturday.

Rainfall will be heavy at times. Total rainfall accumulations from these storms may exceed 200 mm for West and Inland areas of Vancouver Island. Inner coastal regions may exceed 100 mm with even higher amounts near the mountains.

Strong winds will also accompany these storms and at times may exceed 80 km/h over exposed coastal areas.

At this time it looks like each storm will become more intense. Details concerning the precise storm track is expected to become clearer as time progresses and warnings are likely to be issued for multiple regions throughout the next several days.

.......... I heard on the news last night that the third storm hitting us on Saturday night will actually be whats left of an eastern Pacific typhoon that has been embedded in the jet stream to nail us........ this is going to be fun :yuck:

Reminds me of back in the early 90's when we were getting pounded one nor'easter after another.As one ended another would be on its way. And they all packed a punch, lots of rain and very strong winds.

[WZ7U]

Yeah, lotsa fun. Glad I'm finishing up tying it all down

[PA5COR]

Getting nippy here, 10 C in daytime, cold north eastern wind right from Siberia, 3 to 4 C in the night, i blinked and put the heating on, 15 C in the morning on my naked butt is a bit overdone getting out of bed in the shower...

[KG4NEL]

Great weather. Driving doors off for the next few days.

[PA5COR]

Strange Autumn, trees are just getting yellow/brown leaves, no storms, expecting 17-18 C the weekend, very dry as well, very unusual for here.
Easterly winds for the last weeks, mostly south west getting moist/rain from the ocean, and storms... no this time till now.

[XE1/N5AL]

It looks like the rainy season has ended. The forecast here reads like the attendance at a hamfest: no showers predicted for at least two weeks. Low 80's during the day and High 50's during the night.

[WZ7U]

Yeah, because you sent it all up north to me! The coast region expects up to 80 mph winds with the 4-5 inches of rain from the leftovers of some typhoon on Thursday afternoon which plays hell with all the trees around here. Nothing like a 60' fir coming crashing through your roof while you're trying to (insert favorite activity here). It's fine; I'll take my chances. That's why I'm typing now, while the power is still on.

[KD8TUT]

Weather is cool and quiet here.

Probably will stay that way for a while.

[n2ize]

It's been cool here and almost cold at night. But next week we are going to see a brief return to summer as temperatures reach into the upper 70's by Wednesday. Guess the fans and air cond will see a bit more action this year. Then after Wednesday the temps drop back down to something more seasonable.

[VE7DCW]

We are waiting for the arrival of what's left of Typhoon Songda that Environment Canada says we are square in the bullseye for! They are predicting winds of up to 120 Kph but it should be a fast moving storm over by 2 am Sunday dropping over 100 mm of rain by tomorrow morning as well! fun time should be had by all here...... :shock:

Nothing like a 60' fir coming crashing through your roof while you're trying to (do the horizontal bop). The EMTs would have to arrive quickly with extrication tools to get me out before the poor girl chokes to death.

You call that a summer? When we get temperatures in the 90s with humidity to match, now I call THIS a summer. (Sorry Crockamile Funpee.)

Canada has an environment? Like we say here at the Jersey Shore, batten down the hatches and prepare for a blow. That means close all the windows, secure all loose outdoor objects and pray the power stays on so you don't go buggy staring at the wall by candlelight. Hey, you and the missus can only entertain yourselves for so long before the well runs dry.

Environment Canada is the federal government department that handles our weather forecasting among other things they are responsible for. :yes:

[n2ize]

The heat is back. Just when I thought this crap was finally over we've been humid and around 80 deg for the last 2 days. And this junky weather is going to hang with us for a couple more days before it finally makes it's departure over the weekend and we return to autumn.

[KD8TUT]

Heat here too... Humid as well.

Back to air conditioning.

And for some reason my weather widget isn't updating the weather conditions for the Yukon Territory (Whitehorse). Maybe Environment Canada's server is down ? Last update I got was a day or two ago.The temperature was in the 20's (Farenheit) and it was snowing.

[KG4CGC]

86 today 65 tonight. 90 tomorrow.

[n2ize]

Yep ,air conditioners and fans are running again today. Expecting highs in the low 80's again. But after today it's over. Temps fall back into the 60's then into the low 50's all next week. I guess we got a little sample of what they used to call""Indian Summer".

Problem with the weather here is most people are either running the air conditioning or else heating their homes. Either way, hot or cold it keeps Con Edison and the Oil companies happy.

[W5BRM]

A very brisk 30 degrees in Bemidji Minnesota! Gonna have to run the bunk heater later on methinks. Great sleepin weather. Just hope the locals aint partying too hard at the local walmart. Dont want no noise tonite

[n2ize]

Ah,finally it feels like October should. The heat and humidity left us over last night. Today I woke to a nice 45 degrees F. Might see temps dipping even lower over the next few days and we can expect our first freezing night tues or wed. Need no fans not air conditioners today. I got the north west facing window in the office open here, the north west wind is blowing right in and keeping the temperature in here at a nice comfortable 61-62 deg. I'm wearing a short sleeved shirt and feeling fine. Just a bit of a nip when a strong gust blows inside.

[K7SGJ]

Triple digit weather at the end of October? Really? 100+ degrees yesterday breaking records in several categories. The rat is really ready for a cool down, and no it isn't global warming, just fucked up high/low pressure systems.

Notice the only place on that map not on fire (that is a fire map, isn't it?) is the PNW? All this rain must keep the fire danger lower.

[W2NAP]

local NWS office is predicting a mid month flip, warm 1st part of Nov, then turning cold with snow. but enough of the 1st half warm will keep the avg temp above normal. we had 80s for 1st 3 days in Nov. last time we had 80 in Nov was 1950.

Interesting to note that at 11:30 AM on this day in November the digital thermometer on my house hit 19 degrees Celsius! .......it's never been 19 degrees on Vancouver Island in November.....ever! 17 degrees on Monday,18 degrees on Tuesday now this..... looks like new record territory.

It cooled off here in Sacramento. Upper 30s forecast for the next two nights, then a bit warmer later in the week. Days will be in the upper 50s/low 60s. And we will finally see some snow in the Sierra Nevada this weekend.

Had a few brief EF-1 tornadoes pass through quickly embedded in a severe bit of hard rain in the middle of an all day rain. 64 yesterday and 55 last night. 60 today and about 37 now.
The fires are out around here in the Table Rock area SC and Lake Lure NC. Still a few hot spots waiting on more rain in Gatlinburg. Should be getting constant rain for a few days starting Saturday, late. Then later in the week 4 or 5 days straight.

"A strong cold storm system will move through southern California tonight and Saturday and bring moderate to heavy rainfall with snow in the mountains. Strong gusty winds will occur mainly in the mountains and deserts this afternoon through Saturday, but somewhat strong winds will occur at the coast as well. […] Rainfall amounts look to be one to locally two inches west of the mountains with local 2-3 inch totals in the mountains. [...] rainfall rates could reach or exceed 1/2 inch per hour. Saturday, there could be a few thunderstorms with brief heavy rainfall. The snow level will fall from about 6500 feet with the onset of the precip this evening to 4000 feet by Saturday morning and 3000 feet by late Saturday with the colder air moving in."

Grocery stores were wrecked yesterday.

[W5BRM]

Is about 20 here in Oklahoma. Had a. Dusting of snow overnight.went to do laundry at about 10am. Started flurries and by 1115 we had about 3 inches. Forgot I got summer tires on the pickup...lol. enjoyed slip sliding all over town. Our govt has an opinion that "nature put it on, nature will take it off". No salt, sand or anything.

[WZ7U]

Unseasonably (not unheard of) chilly here, 26/8, lucky us the precipitation doesn't start again until the moderate temps try to return on Saturday. In the mean time, sleet and freezing rain will be the order of the day till probably mid Monday once this starts. I hate it when the freezing rain brings the trees and power lines down, even though our power company is top notch at getting things back up again (poor bastards). It is January after all.

Currently:

12f, -2 wind chill, snow falling.....

From January until the first week of March- we are part of the arctic. The big Freeze has begun.

Central and northern California is looking at 10 to 20 inches of rain between today and Wednesday. That's almost an entire normal rainy season's worth of precipitation in less than a week. I think it's safe to say that the drought is finally over.

What the hell is that under the ice, Mike?

The Saint Joseph Light House.

You. Are. Shitting. Me.

I suppose they just leave it on automatic and walk away? I doubt you're getting any doors open on that building (I'm assuming this is like the lighthouses on the OR coast - willing to be mistaken) or worse yet, frozen in. That is crazy nuts.

Yeah, I had forgotten all about that set of facts up there. Stuff we all learned of in grade school way back in the 20th century in the suburbs of Denver. And of course Charles' classic find of the Edmund Fitzgerald.


Man, I gotta get a grip.

[NQ6U]

The Yaquina Head lighthouse is a dead ringer for the Pigeon Pt. light in the SF Bay Area:

https://s3-media3.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/QRa5hVN_L-hfxEvXJpUFpA/348s.jpg

I (barely) remember many a pot-debauched weekend evening there back in my misspent yoot.

[WZ7U]

You know what Carl, upon further inspection that pic I put up could inadvertently BE Pigeon Point. Looking at the images it seems Pigeon Point has a red roof while Yaquina Head has a gray roof. WTF!

Do you suppose the same architectural plans were used at both sites? How weird is that? Or maybe the internet is making a fool out of me.

Shitty thing is I was up at Yaquina head on Christmas Day and I can't remember what color the roof is. Maybe the yl has a pic on her phone....

Shit!

EDIT!
Aw $#@&, I see the differences now. Pigeon Point has that outbuilding that Yaquina Head doesn't. Like I said earlier, I gotta get my shit together. This coffee ain't cutting it.

[NQ6U]

Could be the same plans, also could just be a matter of form following function but they sure do look a lot alike. I believe the Pigeon Point light may be taller, or perhaps it's just that the tower is a bit slimmer.

[KG4CGC]

<snip> And of course Charles' classic find of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

♫ The sailors all died and the women all cried cause they had to go on welfare and had no insurance ...
♫ The children wandered 'round town with no jobs to be found so they turned to drugs and pro-ahh-sti-tution ...

I know, right? That was an old bit from a comedian who said that anytime you want to clear out a party that all you had to do was put on the song,
Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" and suddenly people would be tripping over each other trying to get out the door.

I'm glad I'm padded. Just a "slide on your ass" winter here. I had to break the ice gluing my garage door to the ground.

All winter we had was 1/2 an inch of snow followed by freezing rain, making skating rinks of the roads in Europe, with the usual idiots crashing their cars thinking snowtyres and ABS. and lots more 3 letter aids systems makes their Audi-Mercedes-BMW ( fill in car of choice) immune for that, still driving like idiots.

Just the Saturday here, back to Autumn now, rain, 4 to 5 C.
Small chance on returning " winter" next weekend though.

[n2ize]

After a few"cold"days with temps in the teens to around 20 F. we also finally got some snow. Now, for the next several days we return to the 40's with rain and occaisional icy mixes for the next 4or5 days or more.:(

You guys are having better weather back there than we're having in San Diego:


Showers and possibly a thunderstorm before 10pm, then a chance of showers. Low around 50. Southwest wind 5 to 10 mph becoming northwest after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 90%.

Unlash the moorings and set sail. Shiver some timber, or some such stuff, I dunno.....

[WZ7U]

So, if the tsunami alert goes out, and you're on the boat, what's the plan?

[NQ6U]

So, if the tsunami alert goes out, and you're on the boat, what's the plan?

After studying a tsunami inundation map for the area, I'd probably just have to motor out into San Diego Bay about a mile until the wave passes. The risk from tsunamis here is not nearly as severe as it is up your way.

That is convenient. As long as you didn't sleep through it

The rain is back. Now the snow and ice will melt.

Another series of big storms will hit California with high winds and heavy rain starting late tonight or early tomorrow and continuing for the next six days. This time, the atmospheric river is aimed more at southern California, so things might get exciting down here--the National Weather Service is predicting between 4 and 10 inches of rain in San Diego County, depending on location. Just to put things in perspective, the average annual rainfall in SD is 10 inches.

[KG4CGC]

At least you're already on a boat.

[NQ6U]

Actual text from the local office of the National Weather Service's forecast discussion:


A final northerly wave seems to move through Tuesday extending the showers, which might include snow in the high desert. The numbers are ridiculous; total rainfall for the entire period today through Tuesday: 2-5 inches in coast and valleys, 5-10 inches in the mountains with a few spots exceeding 12 inches

[n2ize]

So, if the tsunami alert goes out, and you're on the boat, what's the plan?
If your far enough out in the sea your boat will simply ride out the tsunami. In fact you might not even notice it. You can even be swimming and just ride over it. The real problem / danger is when the tsunami reaches the shallower coastal line waters and of course when it hits the shoreline.

Ok so we went form "OMFG it's colder than my EX wife" to "honey get my flip flops".

We're just below freezing right now... will go up to 45 this afternoon. This is January in Michigan?
Couple weeks ago we were well into the subfreezing temperatures with snow. 2 days later it was 65 degrees and I was outside flying one of my radio controlled helicopters wearing just a tee short. Then winter returned for a day and then it warmed up into the mid-upper40's . Looks like it's going to stay mild for at least another week or more.Next winter-like day isn't scheduled till next saturday.

[K7SGJ]

Even the rat is going to get soaked for the next few days. Maybe the Pope can toss me a line as I go by.

[KK4AMI]

The way San Diego is getting rain, he maybe riding the tidal wave right by you.

[WZ7U]

Hey, could you guys down there put the stoppers back in the reservoirs and catch some of this rain for later on?

[n2ize]

Wait till Trump starts burning all that coal.

[KD8TUT]

Hard to say what's going on here... it's the end of January. It's not cold out and we'll have rain for the next 8 hours.

WTF?!?!?

[KG4CGC]

Spring is here.

Oooohh you have that creepy weather thing on your computer too. Here's mine - except my screen capture software apparently isn't as good as yours.

It's all already on your system if you're a Windows user.

[WZ7U]

All I get is a blank thing. This is why I hate computers. And here I wanted to try to set up a packet station for something to do..........I must be nuts.

Alt & print screen, all as you say, nothing but a white box. I'm too stupid to figure it out right now. Maybe I need to tip over and quit messing around in the bit bucket.....try again later on.

Have a great day Charles, enjoy your Spring!

One of our wettest Winters in several years, too. This spring, the rat will be weed whacking till the cows come home. If the bastids hadn't left in the first place, they could have eaten all the weeds themselves.

And the biggest storm of the three that were predicted to come through this weekend is still on it's way. It's blowing up a gale out there right now—a literal gale.

[AA1OH]

We have a active tornado on the ground heading to the city next to us. And when the rain comes we lose the satellite so we can not stay on top of it!

Interstate 8 in eastern San Diego County is closed due to heavy snow.

We're are in the process of getting round three of the triple header storms, the one that just went through your area. It's pretty heavy at times, but it is expected to move out in the next day or two. The snow pack in the mountains is going to be great as far as ending the drought goes. I think I heard that the drought is considered pretty much over for California. I don't know about Arizona, but it sure has been wet the last few months. The desert is nice and green for a change, very pretty it is. I expect the wild flowers in the spring will be something. My cameras will be working overtime in the near future, and I suppose I'll be able to get a lot of alternate pictures.

[NQ6U]

Yeah, I'm going to have to get out to the Anza-Borrego state park in the spring. The desert wildflowers are going to be magnificent this year.

[WZ7U]

Please, PLEASE post some of those pics! A green desert is SO rare and the spring flowers are the bomb.

That's doable.

[WZ7U]

When I drove OTR I would try to get loads that went through the desert in Spring just to enjoy the flowers. You just don't see things like that here in the emerald forest.

Boy, you had to hit it right too! One day too long and poof


Oh, and thanks

[NQ6U]

45°F and raining here at the moment. Feels more like Seattle than San Diego

Beautiful clear, chilly morning, sunny and 39°F. Nice to see the sun again after this past weekend.

It's pretty much the same way here in the high Desert. Much colder, but the sun and blue sky do prevail.
