We Could Talk About The Weather

Snow, snow, snow. Well getting 3-5 inches or 8-12 inches all depends on the track. The Weather Channel says 3-5, NWS Pittsburgh 3-8, local TV weatherman, who knows he act s like he has no clue.

[suddenseer]

Your first mistake is being in OHIYA, and watching them foreign tv stations. Here in Springfield, we have Scare Center 7 WHIO tv 7.1

It's been a shitty winter so far and doesn't look like it's going to get better any time soon. We'll just have to grin and bare it I suppose, just be quick before you freeze it off.

[VE7DCW]

It was a beautiful day here today (what it's been like for the past 2 weeks or so) .......sunny and not a cloud in the sky.It got to 15 degrees Celsius here,and it's warm for this time of year......and I was reading in today's paper that the Great Lakes are almost frozen over for the second year in a row.......bizarro! :yes:

[W7XF]

Presently 80 here

[NQ6U]

Currently 65°F here, with 70% chance of rain tonight through Monday. That's okay by me—it's been another dry winter in California.

They say we're gonna get 3-5 inches of snow tomorrow. Not a big deal elsewhere, but it is here.When I lived in Atlanta, I was taken back by the entire city closing down over 1-2 inches of snow. When I realized that the only snow removal equipment around was used mostly on I-75, then I understood.

Next time I go thru there I'll letya know. I don't got a ht with me on this tour though.

[K0RGR]

It's sucking fnowing.

Fnow? Is that like snit? We have about a foot of white snit all over the place right now, and we haven't really had our annual average yet. We're way behind in fact.

We usually call it something else the first time each year, but then it rapidly becomes snit. Maybe by MAY when we hope it will stop, we will call it fnow here, too.
This was from May 2, 2013 - part of my back yard.

And then it then moves on to us. Been a little rainier than past years here, but it's a dry rain.

Roads have been insane here, they iced up more than usual in the Front Range. Many here in CO think it's OK to use all season tires. No, not when it turns to ice. Stay off the roads if you slide and/or can't handle a skidding vehicle. Get some decent tires if you have to drive in true winter conditions, no matter what. :rant:

For instance, the "studly" and "siped" winter tires on my 'lil Integra beater commuter:

Huh. I tried doing that to my tires, but after I pounded in the first rivet, the tire went flat. Who Gnu?

Man-o-man. It's been raining like a cow standing on a flat roof for the last several days. The snow in the upper elevations will be good for spring run off, and this storm looks like it will bring some very good ski conditions for our friends in Colorado. I think the Pope has been receiving some of this holy water from hell, too. I like the rain, but with all we've gotten in the last month or so, the weeds and wild growth will become a real fire hazard this summer. I expect this will be one of Arizona's worse fire seasons in some time. It has also caused a delay on tiling the kitchen. I've only got a few hours left to go, but can't put the saw out and make all the cuts needed.

Maybe a little cw is in order.........

Yeah, most definitely. Haven't had a chance to get out to the rain gauge yet (no fancy-ass remote reading gauge here, just a clear plastic tube with a decimal inch scale screen printed on the side) but I know it has to have rained close to two inches over the duration of the storm. That's a lot of water out of a single storm in this semi-arid part of the world.

[n2ize]

We had yet another snowstorm last night. Now its sunny, windy and 30 deg. Here is whats in store for the next few days.

Clear & cold today (17 - 34 deg F)
Snow Tuesday & Tuesday night (29 - 30 deg F)
Rain Wednesday (25-41 deg F)
Snow Thursday (7 - 27 deg F)
Sunny Friday (15 - 28 deg F)
Mostly sunny Sat, Sun (low 20's - mid 30's)

So it looks like we are in store for some rather warm sunny weather by the weekend.

[VE7DCW]

We hit another 17 degrees Celsius today on the day we switch to day light saving time .......3rd day in a row this month with some places around Vancouver Island higher in temperatures around 18 and a rumoured 19 degrees!

The warmest temperatures ever recorded in the month of March! .........spring seems to now arrive 6-8 weeks ahead of time for the last 3 or 4 years and the summer pattern is shaping up to be warm again and totally dry as the rains seems to have suddenly gone away........damn, the weather is changing,it's very different from the conditions I remember around here when I was kid! .......... down right scary actually! :yes:

[WØTKX]

Surfing a wave of springlike weather for the past three days

As I write this on my smartphone in my backyard it's 18.5 degrees Celsius under partly sunny skies.... highest temperature so far this year this early..... :shock:

Hot? HOT? Out here I step into the furnace just to cool off.

Today it only got to 86 US, 30 Canadian. Very cloudy and some wind. However, the record high for this date was 97 US, 36.11111111111111111111 Canadian. We hit that one in 2007, so the earth is going through a cooling trend. I would imagine at this rate, we'll have lot's of snow in the next few years. I hope it's a dry snow.

Speaking of gardens, the weather has been the 80s and 90s for the last few weeks, so today I planted some of the veggies in the gardens. It's going to be overcast, a few sprinkles, and warm the next few days, so they should get a good start if the rats and rabbits don't get to them. Fresh salads, salsa, pizza, yum. I traded the cow for the pizza seeds.

Spring is bustin' out all over and I LOVE it! Everything turning green, flowers in bloom, bloomin' idiots all year round though. Soon it will be summer all hot and sticky but I don't mind, I just run errands early in the morning before it gets too hot to do anything but sit on the porch watching the Bikini Brigade headed for the beach.

We're getting a wee bit of that now. A nice gentle rain that might do some good instead of the usual downpour that all runs down the washes to Yuma. The high temp here was around 64F (17.78G) and last week we had a couple of days at 101F (38.3G).

It's unusually cool here for this time of year. Very low humidity and temps in the 40's overnight. And an unusual absence of the showers and thunderstorms that usually prevail in late spring. But I ain't complaining. In fact I wish it would stay like this all summer long.

God Damn she is getting mighty warm outside!! .......... it broke a 30 year old record of 30 degrees Celsius yesterday,today it promises to go warmer than that at 30+ ........ all under totally clear skies and for most of the upcoming week...... summer is early! and going to be a warmer, drier one than last summer! :ugh:

Today has to be the most brutal, hot, humid day I have experienced in years. It's like hell on earth out there. You don't even have to move, just sit still and you pour sweat. Day's like this makes me really appreciate air conditioning. I am in my home office now with the air conditioning set at about 67 degrees. It is murder outside. There has been a severe thunderstorm (and now tornado) watch out all day and now it's extended till 9:000 (now 11:30) pm. Say what you want about cold weather and winter and snow. I'll take 15 deg F with snow over this crap any day. This hot/humid weather drains the life out of you. . This is some lousy weather.

The last couple of days here have been fairly brutal. Lots of storm damage in and near Richmond, and lots of power outages. I seem to be in the sweet spot, nothing severe in my immediate area, but opportunities abound today...

[kb2vxa]

This evening (Saturday) we've been getting hammered, heavy wind out of the east off the ocean and torrential rain, damn chilly too. The NWS has a flood warning up with "get to high ground immediately", no if, just immediately. Gee, no shit Sherlock, the scanner is jumping with flood reports, trees down too, Manasquan a bit north of me just got the OEM truck out for high water rescue. A bit farther north in Sea Girt "Take them out of the jail cells!", it looks like the municipal building is playing Titanic... glug glug glug. Oh well tomorrow's another day, mostly sunny and warm around 80.

[koØm]

Over the last 20 years, there seems to have been a change in the weather cycles.

I would say that both Summer and Winter are becoming more moderate; I remember winters in the early '90 being much colder for extended periods of time, I mean like -17 degrees in January and February. In the past five years, we've hardly had any below zero days in this area.

Used-to-be that we always had "The D'Aug Daze of Summer" that started in June, peaked in August and carried through September with +90 degree days with high humidity. It's not like that anymore; this feels like summer in Boston or the Finger Lakes area of NYS.

Because I have so many electrical devices drawing current, my utility bill is 4 times that of my next door neighbors. I have learned to suffer thru the heat until July 1st and then I install my window air conditioners which severely impact my usage of Kilo-watt hours. The air conditioners double my electric charges for the 4 months that they are installed.

With night time temperatures dropping into the high '50, so far I haven't had the need to install the window units, the ceiling fans keep it comfortable enough; this could be the "Summer W/O Air Conditioners."

.

[n2ize]

Once the temps start reaching the upper 60's/low 70's the air conditioning comes on here and stays on.

[PA5COR]

Sunny weather, temps going up to 36 or 37 C tomorrow and the days after, so a heatwave is on it's way.
Meh...

[n2ize]

Wow !! Compared to a lot of places our weather here is relatively "cool". We only had 1 or 2 days so far where the temps got into the high 80's. Today was warm, maybe around 77 and the next 7 days is only calling for temps only in the low 80's. Not bad. The longer it stays mild like this the closer we get to the end of summer.

[n2ize]

We got hit with this last Tues. http://www.nj.com/gloucester-county/index.ssf/2015/06/latest_updates_from_the_storm_that_swept_through_s .html

Wow !! pretty nasty. Wonder if this was related to tropical storm Bill ? I know someone who was flying up the east coast round that time and encountered incredibly bad turbulence. Round here nothing happened. Whatever it was never reached us.

[NQ6U]

Had a nice little round of monsoonal thunderstorms here about two hours ago. Not a lot of rain (.02") but some really good electrical action. Temp was about 80F.

None that I'm aware of, but sometimes it takes a while for lightning-kindled wildfires to become large enough to be noticed.

It's just a little before 4 pm and the thermometer outside is showing 35 degrees Celsius under clear blue skies on this Canada Day! This after the warmest and driest June on record!

We now know what the Summer in BC will be like now ........ :yes:

[PA5COR]

Hit over 35 degrees yesterday locally in the south 40 C shattering the all time record of hottest 1st of july in 400 years.
Hotter today, end of the day rain, hail thunderstorms, Saturday even hotter....

[n2ize]

Damned am I sick of this stagnant polluted air, heat, and humidity. Last 4-5 weeks have been like "sweat city". Temps are supposed to finally break later this week along with some rain. That's another thing. It's been bone dry here for the past several weeks. Every day sunny, hot & humid but nary a shower. I haven't heard a single clap of thunder all summer which is most unusual. Usually during heat waves we are swarming with showers and thunderstorms. I hope this ends soon. I am tired of sweating and having to hide inside air conditioned rooms.

[KG4CGC]

Guess no one wants to talk about the weather.
Uneventful ... and that's a good thing.

I'll talk about the weather: it's been hotter than a motherfucker here the past few days. Granted, I don't know exactly how hot a motherfucker is but I'm sure it's not as hot as it is right now, nor as humid.

[n2ize]

Well, my air conditioner and fans have sure been getting a workout these past several weeks. I keep the AC set to about 66 deg F. I also run a fan along with the AC because I like to have a nice breeze along with the cooler air. Tonight it's supposed to start cooling down and next week looks beautiful. Highs only in the upper 70's , nights in the upper 50's to low 60's. It will be a pleasure. Hopefully this is our first hint of seasonal change.

Mentioning cold, the NWS office down in SLC mentioned 'Fall-like' temps here in the valley and snow hitting the peaks of the Wasatch and Uintah's by Wednesday down to the 9K foot level. My kids have been curious about snow skiing, so we know that Winter is just around the corner.

If you mean by radio, not at the present time. My friend back in Iowa was keeping my gear safe for me while I was in Germany. I will hopefully have everything back in my possession soon.

Despite being in the midst of one of the worst droughts ever, this year San Diego County received the largest amount of summer rainfall on record—3" (76mm). The previous record was 2.13" (54mm) in 1977.

Typically, this area receives less than 1" (25mm) of rainfall in the period between the summer solstice and the autumnal equinox.

Friends just North and Northeast of me, stay safe. Double-decker wham bam rain set up that gets worse as it travels NE. Double barrel feed from the Gulf and the Atlantic with a squeezing effect added in from the Midwest for the next couple of days followed by another heavy system out of the Atlantic that looks like it will take a hard turn North and enter Virginia from the bottom.

That tunnel area, along with VA Beach in general, is one of the most vulnerable locations for a bad storm or hurricane anywhere along the east coast. I would not want to be in that area when crap hits the fan..

There was tidal flooding in Hampton Roads area several days last week when we were in Kill Devil Hills due to the excessive rainfall. The lower tidewater is saturated now, more rain is going to cause huge problems.

Obviously, we need to accelerate our release of carbon into the atmosphere. If we're going to commit suicide, let's make it quick and painless.

Don't worry. James Inhofe already informed the nation that there is no climate change because God won't let it happen.

[n2ize]

There is a lot of coastal flood watches out for this area, esp sections of NYC, Long Island, areas along Long Island Sound. I live far enough inland for coastal flooding to not be a problem for me. For instance when Hurricane Sandy hit a while back my area was mostly affected by heavy damaging winds but no flooding. We did get some good rainfall out of this system of weather. We really needed the rain badly since it was very dry here just about all summer. This was one of the first summers living in this area without any thunderstorms. I saw nary a flash of lightning or a clap of thunder over this area all summer. Very unusual.

[n2ize]

...and you do like it cold. You'd like it in Barrow and with a KL7 callsign everybody would consider you DX. Think of the possibilities!

Barrow is a pretty cool place to live...LOL.

[ad4mg]

We find ourselves in a no win scenario. The forecast for central Virginia is 5-7 inches of rain, starting tomorrow evening, from the nor'easter, then nobody seems to know what the idiot hurricane will do. Many models have it coming right up the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. That has the potential to be catastrophic. Our worst case scenario here in Richmond is for it to cross the outer banks. The last hurricane to actually hit Richmond was Isabel, and that was the path it took.

Of course, Virginia Beach and the mouth of the bay are barely 100 miles away. We're in deep doo-doo here...

[KK4AMI]

My wife and I are in our new house on Albemarle Sound. We are going to spend our first hurricane watching out the back window to see how high the Sound gets . I went to the local hardware store to pick up blue tarps, plywood and Duct tape. Even tested the generator. I also picked up plastic pipe to extend the gutters away from the house. Hopefully it will drain the rain away from the house and keep the crawl space dry.

[KG4CGC]

Stay safe you guys and do whatever it takes.

[KØWVM]

For you guys along NC and Virginia coastline, if it looks as if there is a "point of no return" with this one, I would leave... especially if flooding and the surge start to hit. If you are down by the VA Beach, area and it heads that way... get out of there at the soonest!

[n2ize]

Here is a video of a sample of what happened with NYC transit during the last Hurricane Sandy. Trains were actually lifted vie derrick and transferred to high capacity flatbed trucks to bring in shuttle service to the most devastated areas. It was brutal, time consuming and backbreaking work but the MTA managed not only to provide "rescue service" but to get lines up and running ahead of anticipated scheduling. I hope and pray that Hurricane Joachim isn't as bad as Sandy and hopefully it won't follow the same track. Still, here in the New York Metro area we are well braced for the worst. And even if it doesn't pack the punch of Sandy they say it will still cause flooding in coastal and low lying areas. That's why I am taking the time and getting prepped and ready in the event we do get a worst case scenario.

May not be quite as bad as it was forecast to be yesterday but you're still going to get a lot of rain. We're having flood warnings in effect until 8pm Monday with severe localized flooding due to the fact that the rain making clouds will be passing through so slowly. It is at this time being called a 1500 year rain event with forecast rain of up to 15 inches for west central South Carolina.

I hope not as bad. We can do without the extreme winds that were the hallmark of Sandy in my area. Nonetheless, even without major tide swells or winds the heavy rain will cause a lot of localized flooding as rivers crest and low lying land fills up with water. Still not a good thing. Hopefully after this mess we can proceed too a normal autumn and winter season. But remember, there could be more. sandy hit at the end of October into the beginning of November. In the next 5 weeks anything can happen.

[n2ize]

In the meantime the weather here is finally getting great. Yesterday and today daytime highs were only in the 50's. For the first time in months I wore a long sleeved shirt. Overnight it went down into the 40's. No need for running any air conditioners or fans. Had the window of my home office open all through the night and it's 47 deg F outside and a nice comfortable 61 F deg. inside. We had a rather hot August and all of September was pretty hot and humid. Now that October has arrived it feels as if the autumn weather is finally taking hold.

[KG4NEL]

IT GON RAIN

[N8YX]

Forecast track now moves Joacquin more northeast than previous models had it going. Great news for those along the east coast.

...but...

We could certainly use a bit of rain. I haven't had to cut the grass since early August. The ground is dry...so dry that when I was splitting wood with a maul in the back yard and gouged the surface the topsoil underneath the grass was powdery.

This weekend we're forecast to get some - maybe from the system which is inundating Charles's area - but I doubt it'll do much good for the lawns this year.

[kb2vxa]

Yesterday started one of our famous coastal gales, or nor'easters as we old timers call them, so I just battened down the hatches for the duration. Fathead Christie aka Mr. Creosote is playing Sunshine Superman again declaring a state of emergency and spouting one "I hope" and "I will" after another as expected. We're well used to New Jersey weather and what comes with it but there's unfortunately no way of getting used to HIM, the hurricane will pass offshore and with the nor'easter a blowin' we'll never notice it or the wind out of Trenton if we leave the TV off.

[N8YX]

Charles and anyone else in SC, you guys okay?

It's not quite time to break out the ark but I understand that point isn't too far off.

[KG4CGC]

The Upstate didn't get hit nearly as hard as the areas around Columbia and Charleston. The spinning action from the 2 ridges surrounding it made the whole rain track tilt from a diagonal path which lead some of it directly towards us to a horizontal path sending most of the heavier moisture south of us.

It is non event enough that Jim Cantore left Greenville yesterday and went to Charleston. Yesterday he was standing on the foot bridge in Falls Park which crosses over the Reedy River in downtown Greenville. Yeah the river looked rough but it never turned in the drama he gets paid to goo over.

[K7SGJ]

Some nice rain in the desert today, with more the next couple of days. It brought the "just add water" frogs back to life. And here I thought they had all croaked. Who Gnu?

[KK4AMI]

The Albemarle Sound is backed up enough that the waters edge has moved well into our backyard. One Pecan tree is threatening to fall because the roots are washing out, but I don't see that as too great a loss. I hate picking up all the nuts anyway.

[NQ6U]

A bit of rain and wind here today, although nothing like you guys on the right edge of the continent are getting. 0.15" (4mm) of rain over the last 12 hours, maybe 30 mph wind gusts tops.

[n2ize]

Well we finally got some much needed rain here over the past few days. And the temperature was more along my style (in the 50's). Seriously we did need the rain here, it was really getting dry out there. Although in the Carolina's they seem to have gotten way too much rain. Fortunately the hurricane mover well out to sea so we were spared for now. But who's to say. Remember Sandy clobbered us at the end of October. So we got to keep our eyes and ears tuned to potential hurricane reports for at least the next couple of weeks.

[KG4CGC]

We don't normally get this much water off the Atlantic. It is rare. Most of our moisture comes off the Gulf after it has run through Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. You can smell the difference in the air.
Columbia and the coast will get more rain between tonight and tomorrow evening so it isn't over for them. Then consider the pattern of every river in SC. The big lakes are in the NW. They flow into rivers and creeks that all travel SE. They go directly through Columbia on a direct path to just north of Charleston. The rain may end but the rivers will continue to rise.

NC and Virginia may see some more rain through Tuesday. I can't speak to the topography in VA but in the Western North Carolina mountains one would think that flooding wouldn't be an issue and that the water would all run down to the lower areas but there are the rivers to consider. They overflow and spill out on the mountain roads often wiping them out.

[K7SGJ]

Damn, had a hell of a storm go through here a little earlier today. Over an inch of rain in under 20 minutes. Needless to say, most of the driveway is near Gila Bend on its way to Yuma. We need the rain, but get little benefit from a high hard quickie like that. It sure did cool off big time. Kind of reminds me of San Diego, and there are a lot of Arizona assholes on the roads around here, too, just like SD. Who Gnu?

We ended up with a little over a half-inch (0.55") out of the last storm. Not much, but we'll take what we can get.

I remember on afternoon a severe thunderstorm, with golf ball hail and possible tornado hit us head on. Some people claim they saw a funnel but the rain was so hard that it was rain wrapped and difficult to tell if they were seeing an actual tornado or an area of extremely heavy hail and wind swept rain. Sticking my head out the door felt like you would drown as sheets of heavy wind swept rain and hail would slam you head on as if coming from all directions. It lasted about 15 minutes but in that time enough water fell from the sky to flood major roadways and flood out sections of the local railroad. About 1.5 inches of rain in 15 - 20 mins.

Some pretty spectacular electrical displays as well and it was the first time the 1" capacity inner measuring tube on my rain gauge overflowed into the outer container before i could check it and dump it out.

While that might not sound like a lot of rain to most of you, keep in mind that it's over 10% of the normal annual rainfall for this area.

Here in Puerto Vallarta, I just got back from Costco, where they have a big, refrigerated walk-in room that customers enter to buy fresh fruits and vegetables. I suppose that U.S. Costco stores have the same setup. As I walked into the chilly room, it reminded me of a winter day back home ...kind of melancholic, actually. Then I stepped outside, into the 91.4F (33C) sunshine. So much for my little winter vacation.:(

Typical El Nino pattern for the West coast of North America Carl...... an oscillating jetstream we had the warmest and wettest November ever and December was going the same way until about 2 weeks before Christmas the pineapple express followed the jetstream south and now it's your turn! ....... it's been cool around here ever since with lows at night under fairly clear skies as much as -5 degrees Celsius with daytime highs barely making +3 degrees C.
We even had about 2-3 centimeters of snow last night that is melting away nicely.The weather people here are saying that things look as though we are going back to warm and wet by towards the end of January.........steadily drying out as we get towards spring and summer and warming up as well!

Five inches of snow over an inch and a half of ice. Two pm yesterday it had been icing for a couple of hours when a large tree up the street came down. Eight poles in the neighborhood were replaced last night. Twelve hours without power. Twenty-nine hours without internet or even TV.

I started tuning around the FMBCB and AMBCB on a portable. Not one report of local conditions on the commercial stations. NOAA weather radio was useless in the situation as well. I would be interested in local reports and updates. Two meter repeaters were quiet. Need an updated scanner if I want to listen to public safety and work crews.

Twenty one degrees is the forecast for tonight. Thirty degrees last night in all the mess.

[W3WN]

Forecast earlier in the week said maybe an inch.
Thursday night, we were in the "1 to 3 inches" belt.
Snow was supposed to start falling at 6 PM, then at 9 PM yesterday.
Snow started at 1 PM, very light. Really started coming down & sticking around 4 PM.
We ended up with 7 inches.
10, 15 miles South of us (KB3LIX's neck of the woods) had 18 inches, and the further South you went, the deeper it got.
10, 15 miles North of us... nothing.

An 80+ mile stretch of the Pa Turnpike was closed last night. It's still closed. Estimated 500 vehicles stranded. Several tractor trailers jackknifed, and once traffic stopped, the snow just piled on. They have no idea when they're going to get traffic moving again. Meanwhile, most of those vehicles have been stuck for over 24 hours -- no food, no water, no way off. And you figure some of them have run out of gas by now, as well...

Stuck on the westbound side is the bus carrying the Duquesne University men's basketball team home. Stuck on the eastbound side is the bus carrying the Temple University girl's gymnastics team home. Hmmmm......

I started tuning around the FMBCB and AMBCB on a portable. Not one report of local conditions on the commercial stations. NOAA weather radio was useless in the situation as well. I would be interested in local reports and updates. Two meter repeaters were quiet. Need an updated scanner if I want to listen to public safety and work crews.

Twenty one degrees is the forecast for tonight. Thirty degrees last night in all the mess.It snowed here for over 24 hrs. No ice though.

Overnight: Partly cloudy, with a low around 51. South wind around 5 mph.

Sunday: Sunny, with a high near 63. Calm wind becoming west around 5 mph in the afternoon.

We got clobbered here, with dual monitors I was watching movies on one and NWS Doppler radar on the other. I had the scanner on in the background listening to the usual stuff, nothing moving except for emergency services, even flights at Lakehurst NAS and McGuire AFB were suspended. Things are starting to move today, sort of, I heard them digging New Jersey Transit trains out in Bay Head Yard, still nothing moving at 4:00pm. Thankfully power and heat stayed on and so did cable for my Internet and TV for those easily entertained by dreck. Anything can happen here at the Jerky Shore, but I half expected power to stay on because the 27KV 3 phase atom by wire feeders are well clear of trees and I'm only a block from the substation so I expected the 4800V 3 phase secondaries to hold up, I'm glad I was right. This was a rare event here at the shoreline and I'm glad of that too, if it happened every winter I'd move to SoCal the land of fruits and nuts where I'd easily fit in the can of mixed nuts and leave the fruits to do their own thing. Floriduh has the weather but not the climate, you know what I mean. Oh, the scanner has a 12V 7.5AH gel battery on float charge so it doesn't even notice a power failure, at least I'd have had something to listen to while I froze my ass off by the light of a candle.

That would explain a lot...

Storm was severe here. Massive snow drifts driven by 100 mph crosswinds across from Brooklyn. . Snowfall at a rate of 12 inches a minute along with intense lightning, thunder and frequent tornado's. Had to climb out to the roof with snowshoes to get out of the house at hurricane wind driven ice and snow at temperatures of -80 below zero.

Snowshoes? I thought it was barefoot, uphill. both ways... :hyper:

Naaa, I used to have a problem with lights dimming but not anymore. You may have noticed your hardware store was temporarily out of extension cords, I went around and bought them all. Then i plugged them end to end, all 96 million miles of them, tied a rock to the end and tossed it into the sun. You may now notice more "eclipses" than usual, when I key up the SUN dims!

Here's an update on the blizzard, it's all over. (;->) Now for something you DON'T know, its been fairly, just a bit warmer and it's melting thankfully. I used to like snowball fights, building snow forts and sledding, kids without sleds used big pieces of cardboard. Now that I'm a crusty old fart like most hams I HATE WINTER! I think I'll spare you the picture of the snow finger this time.

[NQ6U]

We had a nice little storm yesterday. About a half-inch (13mm) of rain and wind gusts of over 60mph (96kph). The ash tree on the property next door wasn't up to the challenge.

It's that El Nino Bugaboo again Carl...... I saw a 200 year old Douglas Fir tree come down in a storm last year on a neighbour's house down the block....... oh the damage! It shows you have been getting the storms your way,we have been a little cool with not so much rain about 5 to 6 degrees Celsius as the daytime highs .......about freezing to about 2 degrees at night......last tiny bit of snow we had was in mid December,but you can see some pretty good accumulations on the hill tops at the higher elevations :yes:

[ka4dpo]

Looking at an inch of rain here tomorrow on top of the three feet of snow that's still on the ground. It's gonna get mushy around here.

[XE1/N5AL]

Years ago, I had a huge hickory tree that fell into my neighbor's yard during a big storm. Fortunately, it fell in the only direction that wouldn't cause any damage. Still, my neighbors couldn't open their sliding glass door with the pressure of the tree branch tips pushing against it. I imagine that their poor dog almost had a coronary when the tree fell. The dog was on a short chain that was staked into the ground, and the massive tree came down in such a way that the "Y" of the tree trunk hit the ground on both sides of the dog. Aside from the scare, the dog was completely unharmed!

[VE7DCW]

We have been in the low 20 degrees Celsius as daytime highs under mainly sunny skies for about a week now.Spring hit us 6 weeks early and appears to have set the tone for our upcoming summer.........we broke 5 year old high temperature marks in the last days of March! ........here we go again! :yes:

[KG4CGC]

[VE7DCW]

We smashed an old temperature record of 25.8 degrees set 4 years ago here in the Cowichan Valley today..........27.1 is the new record for April 18 and the month of April so far,the record we set 4 years ago beat one that stood for about 30 years..........I see the shape of things to come by the looks of it.......... :scared:

[XE1/N5AL]

If the record temperatures keep going up at that rate, you guys will soon be able to fry bacon on the sidewalk! :)

Well then, my new siggy line is perfect. :neener:

50 inches of snow in two days of dumpage.

While here, it hit 87°F today. Eighty-fucking-seven degrees in mid-April. That's just wrong.

[WZ7U]

Had a VERY similar experience here today. I agree; it's just wrong.

Too damn hot!!!

[kb2vxa]

Ah chaddap, ya got nuttin ta complain about, it could be worse: http://history1800s.about.com/od/crimesanddisasters/a/The-Year-Without-A-Summer.htm Then again it could be MUCH worse: http://solarscience.msfc.nasa.gov/SunspotCycle.shtml

The weather here tonight reminds me of San Francisco—heavy marine layer and a west wind. I can smell the ocean even though I'm ten miles inland.

I'm sure that a good spray of Febreeze will take care of that.

You'll need a tanker car of Febreeze at Dayton.

Nah. I have good nose plugs.

And as long as I stay away from the old pharts and curmudgeons... think of them as the Walking Zed... I should be OK.

Well played sir!

Indeed. Bravo!

"the Walking Zed"

You hit the zed right on the nail! Unfortunately it being the swamp (not to be confused with the M*A*S*H swamp) it went SPLAT and you really don't want your hammer back.

[n2ize]

Summer his us early this year. This heat and humidity is overbearing.

[kb2vxa]

Eh, it is what it is, 86 with HI 89 and I'm not laughing. You really have little to complain about, here at the shore summers are hot and steamy, winters are cold and damp. You may like cold but you wouldn't like damp, it soon penetrates layers of clothing and chills to the bone. It's neither hot nor damp in Point Barrow, Alaska and KL7 is sought after DX.

I am not sure I would want to live in Point Barrow. I am geared more towards the Canadian Yukon or it's Alaskan counterpart. I like mountains, snow and pine trees.

But for now and the rest of the summer I'll probably spend most of my time hiding in an air conditioned room as I am doing now.

Mostly cloudy here, high of 72°F, low 57°F. Currently 67°F with wind from the WNW at 4 mph, gusting to 7 mph

Light Rain and 74ºF (23ºC).
TS Bonnie has hit the east coast sending up this rain.
We get rain from almost any direction in this location. You can tell by the smell where it pulled the majority of its water from.

People have managed to screw up the environment so badly gigantic gravity waves could mix summer with winter, and the jet stream could run from pole to shining pole. The human inhabitants of this planet have missed the global warming bells until now, so maybe this blunt new warning will hit home.


Gravity waves and the jet stream? Huh?

[PA5COR]

uhm, yes, the upper jet stream wandered over the equator and mixed up with the southern Jetstream, which totally surprised boffins because they never saw that happen, the wandering of jet streams also changing weather patterns.
