Most of southern and central MO is in a tornado watch.

Since when did we have tonadoes in December? I checked the calendar. I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be winter.
 
Heck,

Nothern California was on tornado watch last weekend, and we aren't supposed to get the things at all.


Betcha Saddam has something to do with it.

Ah the joys of global warming :(

It's 10 degrees C where I am. We should be under a foot of snow.

What is that in F?

It's almost 60F here. We shouldn't be under a foot of snow, but it should be cold enough that my horse requires a blanket and I need a coat to go outside. I shouldn't have been able to wear cut offs to the store today.

It's about 50F. It's been like this for the last couple of months. The last snow we had was in Oct. Poor little trick or treaters.

It's not unusual to get warm days like this here and there. I get the bonus of Chinook winds where I'm from but the persistance of this kind of weather is unusal.

Even the ski resorts around here have little more than rocks and man made snow. I remember winters where the temp would be -30 around these parts (-22 F) and that's without wind chill.

It's kinda scary actually!
 
Yeah, gotta love midwest weather! What's up with the one week in November that's 70 degrees and the others are like 40 or lower?
 
No shit. A friend and I were talking about that last night, we were walking out to her car around 3am and it felt so much like tornado weather. Tornado weather always freaks me out.
 
We had gusts of over 100 mph on Saturday. Highest winds recorded here. I thought my house was going to fly away.

Hurricane is 75, right?

El nino is hitting us hard. I'm not even sure if I'll make it out for Christmas.

It cleared up here today and is suppose to be nice for the next couple of days. The nice weather should be heading your way soon.
 
El niño blows. Winter weather sucks here anyway, but at least snow looks pretty when you don't have to drive in it.

This rain/freezing rain/sleet/slush shit is just annoying.

And now we're having a thunderstorm.

El niño can officially tongue my balls.

We are having a thunderstorm right now. Should be snow this time of year.

Heading for the root cellar Dorthy?
 
Tornado touched down 35 miles from here last week. We just sighed relief from hurricane season being over and then the tornado touched down in Palm Beach. From what I saw on the news it took down one house and mobile home and did some damage to the rest of the block.
 
pagancowgirl... did you make it? We got hail, highwind, rain, but we seem to be all accounted for. Hope you are doing ok also.

If my options were get swept away by a tornado or crawl into a spider infested, dark, dank smelling hole i nthe ground... I'm choosing the tornado.

Thankfully, not only do I have a nice, clean, brightly lit and well stocked concrete basement... but the tonado-ish weather was about 2 hours south of us.

We're fine, except everyone else is getting rain, and we're entering our longest dry spell on record. I'm actually thinking about hooking up the sprinklers in the pasture.

That's so wrong in December.
 
It has nothing to do with Global waming.

Basic tornado facts, tornados can and have occured during every month of the year in every state of the Union.

Also the spider infested, dark, dank smelling hole in the ground is a dead end, while the house and tornado can take you places, you can meet new people and get new shoes.
 
You don't get "swept" away. It is a brutal and violent death, being torn asunder limb from limb by the wind, having various objects crushed aginast you at terrifying veolocities breaking your bones and blugening you to a lifeless corpse, and you're very body itself also used as a projectile as it is smashed against cars, houses, walls, and trains.

From the dude who's been personally caught in like, dozens of tornadoes.

Then wouldn't you assume he's little more then a pool of mushy goo at this point?

I know a woman who was picked up by a tornado and droped 5 miles away in the middle of a field. Her wrist was broken. I'm pretty sure none of that other stuff happened.
 
I know a girl who was taken with her doggie to a land far away with little people and witches and wizards and stuff.

She didn't even get a broken wrist when she landed.


Neither did her little dog.

So more or less, she was swept away?
