Freeky weather here.
« on: February 18, 2011, 07:32:16 PM »
The temperture went to 59 degrees just a few hours ago and now we are suppose to go down to 28 or so tonight.

High for tomorrow will be 32 if we are lucky.      Drastic change and the wind is at 40 MPH with gusts on the sea coast, what next we all wonder.  Most of the snow has melted off our roofs, this is one strange winter, and next month is usually the time of the worse storms----

At least we had one day to pretend that spring is on the way, the seed catalogues are arriving and our Walmart has put out the seed sprouting kits all ready.   All is not lost when I see these things on display.     Hope and change is only good when one has a winter like this has been so far.

Same weather here for the most part, Vesta.  We touched 70 today and yesterday.  Today was nicer though, because the 40 mph wind gusts were absent. 


This is on the heels of record cold temperatures two weeks ago.  Come on, spring!   :popcorn:

Currently pouring down rain here.  Currently 44, and supposed to go down to 36 tonight with a chance of thunderstorms.  The hills have snow.

Wow CR.  That is unseasonal for you, is it?  Last week we were below freezing, today it is 77 in my house.  I am happy for the warm, but this is too soon too fast, IMHO.

Our weather here is really "freeky" too.  It's kind of nice, at 58 degrees, but with a breeze.  It's a little cloudy out, nothing unusual about that.  But tonight, I noticed this really strange beam of light shooting into the sky.  It looks like the clouds are glowing.  We can't figure out what it is.  We think it's the mother ship coming to save all the pure souls. 

I went for a drive the other day and I found myself on a street that I've never been down before.  And I stopped by your moms house to take a shit in her fish tank.  It was a nice drive, my car is fairly comfortable.

Then we finally realized the beam in the sky was from the Luxor.  I feel really stupid.

The rain is pretty typical for this time of year, but yeah, it is cooler than usual.

We're finally done with winter here in Dallas, me thinks.  Supposed to be in the 70's for the forseeable future.

Vesta did you get the thunder storms we got in MA?   They were very unexpected (and rare for February).

Here in Kansas, we've been bouncing between near-record cold (OK did have a couple record breaking days) and near-record warmth.  We had a huge blizzard with several freezing days, then a week near 70, then another huge blizzard with the near-record cold snap last week, and now a week at 70 again.  This kind of weather is tough on outdoor animals that go from freezing to cooking...but not all that "freeky" for this part of the country.  The saying has always been, "If you don't like the weather in Kansas (Nebraska, Wyoming...) wait an hour, it'll be different."

I do find it quite amusing when "freeky" weather is used to support the theory of global climate change because the last time this all happened was in 1932 or something.  Seriously, if it was like this in 1932, how much has changed?  Or the idea that the same droughts that were recorded in the Bible thousands of years ago are now caused by CO2 and fossil fuels.   ::) ::) ::)

We're to be at 70 today....thunderstorms coming in sometime tomorrow until Tuesday. Narrows it down, huh?

This is about 10-15 degrees above where we should be, on rare "high" temp days this time of year. The weather is supposed to be in the 60's all through next week. With the rain, that will bring up all the spring bulb flowers. We're sure to get snow, soon as they all bloom out.  :(

The warmth is making me feeling motivated....told my "boys" they are going to help me clean the garage today.  :-)

Ask me how well that went over.... :thatsright:

It's called a "front", vesta.  Not freaky, happens all the time.

But yes, it is a rather substantial change, 30 degrees in one day, and winds sounding like a freight train going through the yard.  Last I checked we had 48 mph gusts at the house.

I remember a summer day in Garland when "Blue Norther" rolled in. I was out mowing the lawn in the 100° heat. I saw the cloud bank approaching from the North and it looked mean & ugly (kind of like me in the morning). As it approached, the straight line winds reached about 45-50 MPH. After it passed through, the temp was like 65°.

Don't get your hopes up folks. I get the country's weather before it hits the heartland and it's supposed to be down to 10° tonight and tomorrow night!

Me thinks y'all haven't seen the last of the cold yet.

Oh, and north wind with gusts to 35!

It was all melting here in the land you hate with all your heart body and soul. The pot-holes were opening up like God's punishment on us for our evil ways. Then I went out last night and it was absoluely arctic weather. Inuit paradise. Just cross the border and see for yourself... eh?

We had snow (1800 ft ele at the house) on thurs, fri, and part of sat. All gone by sun. However, just up the hill, 1 mile or so, there's still 3-4 inches. We are supposed to get snow again later in the week down to the Sacramento Valley floor.

We just ran out of firewood.             :bawl:
