Rain and flooding. Many people are tea, er uh sandbagging. You would think that with a big lake nearby, the rivers could flow there, but no! They run parallel to the lake and away hundreds of miles to the Mississippi river. Give me a break. What good is it to have a stinkin' lake nearby? One of the largest fresh water lakes in the world. Worthless.
So, you're saying they're overrated? That they're good lakes, but not Great Lakes?Quote:

70 °F (21 °C) and sunny here with a breeze blowing in off the Pacific. Damned near perfect.
Yep, South west wind straight from the Channel ( North Sea) with the blue sky sunny and the antenna farm swaying about in the wind whistling and all, tthat was funny to see.
Normally storms go with heavy clouds pissing down rain and all that nice stuff...

I've always liked that kind of weather. I miss seeing a storm come in from the sea. There's a build-up much like a good book, then if it's a big one, BAM! Winds and rain. Great time for Clam Chowder and tea. That's the only thing I miss here in the hill country. The weather is more like what I used to see in NYC when I was a teenager though.Quote:

April showers bring snow, snow, snow. About 3' on the ground again. :lol:
Yes, I have noticed that too. The Brooklyn winds were like brick walls. When I lived in East NY Brooklyn I experienced the winds that would come in off the Atlantic and the lower bay. They were unlike any winds I ever experienced anywhere. I remember riding my bike as a kid up by the Ridgewood Reservior and getting knocked over hard by a 25 mph wind coming in from the ocean. It was as if I rode into an invisible brick wall. Not to mention the hard gusts that would hit the buildings, smashing windows, breaking walls, and smashing cars leaving them as if they had a head on collision with an invisible truck. Living inland these days the winds are different. Winds rolling in over land don't pack anywhere near the punch of winds off water. I say for a 20 mph wind off water it would take an an 80 mph wind over land to match it in strength.. I feel its in a 4:1 ratio.Quote:

Dante didn't get hell quite right, can't stand humid. Well, it's tolerable between 40-60 degrees "F".
Hurricane Watch in Sullivan Co., one county west of us. They'll probably include us in an hour or two.
74°F at 5:00PM EDST (23°C @ 2100 GMT) with very dark clouds nearly overhead coming from the west. It ought to be a very interesting night.

It was in the upper 30s today. So the snow didn't stay but it was white again.Quote:

Do you ever go to the Mars Cheese House in Racine? Best cheddar.
No. Never been there. We will try to look it up.
Right on the interstate, left side if headed North. You won't be disappointed.
Was 81 °F (22 °C) and sunny today. Lounged around the pool in my Speedo drinking mai tais and working on my tan.
Okay, maybe not. In fact, I repaired the toilet in the front bathroom, watered various shrubs and fertilized the citrus trees.
I can see that, you did say the toilet was out of order.Quote:

Missed a hundred by 2 degrees here yesterday. It should be a wee bit cooler today.
Speaking of tornadoes. The United States gets more tornadoes than any other country in the world. The US also gets more severe tornadoes, EF3... EF5.. than any other country.
