Weather WTF?

Ours is past. The next two weeks will be simply unseasonably cloudy and cool, temps never getting out of the low seventies and high sixties. You guys could just plan on spending the night in the cellar, yanno. I would, chicken Coastie that I am.

Yeah, like VM said... We have our parkas on and we even had a freakin 10 mph breeze today.... It was brutal! :rolleyes:
:kiss:

Nahhh. Our weather radio is annoyingly loud. If there is a change from a watch to a warning we'll know. :)

What's a weather radio?

What's weather for that matter???? :cool:


(and, yeah, I AM taunting you so that you head out this way for a visit... :kiss: )
 
We done had one'a them tornader things this evenin' west'a here...a big ol' thunderboomer spawned it...no word on damage if any. Y'all take care, y'hear? Don't wanna lose wun of th' purtiest gals on Lit...Chicago wouldn't be th' same without ya. :kiss::kiss:
 
Thurday and Friday we had 2.3 inches, we are .4 ahead for the year! :D
First time in 3 years :D
 
Lost the #1 computer on Tuesday as the indirect result of a lightning storm. We even had a tornado warning in the county north of ours. You'd think we were back in the midwest. Bleah.
 
:heart::kiss::kiss::kiss:

After all of that build-up we just received some rain. It was heavy at times, and there was a bit of lightning, but just rain.

:)

Oh, yeah! Well we had DEW this morning!!!! :eek:

(They kids wanted to go outside and make Dew Women, but I didn't want to risk it! :cool: )
 
A tad off topic, but could someone explain to me why I should stick a windmill on my roof when the polar ice has passed a 30 year average, the last decade average temperatures are lower than than the previous 40 years.

Is this climate change thing an Al Gore card trick. It's 64 degrees in Boston today. It's never 64 in Boston in June. I'm more likely to get frozen than frazzled.

It's been a tough week and a half for me lately. Between work and classes I'm teaching and then the computer going down (and the potential loss of personal data--don't know yet how bad it'll be, but I do have a fair quantity of backups), I've just been feeling fragile.

I'm pleased we're having better weather, that work continues to not be biting my ass, and that all things being equal, it could be a heckuva lot worse. <sigh>

"Dew women" -- that's a very pretty image.

I never quit shaking my head at this kind of reaction.

Did gas slipping under 1.50 this winter mean we were no long oil dependent on the middle east?

Does SSS having only had rain mean there will never be a tornado there again?

Quit confusing long term research with overnight results. It doesn't work that way.
 
Our weather has also had a few surprises; SNOW. - in June ?
Round here, the weather went from bloody hot to cold & wet in about 12 hours.

What was this about "Global Warming" ?
 
Sleep was out of the question last night, and so was calling off work so I'm exhausted. But we should be okay for tonight.

You stay safe out there.
 
We're having a ginormous thunderboomer just about every day now...I sit on my lanai and watch the clouds roll in from the west...spectacular lightning...thunder's like cannon fire...wind bending the trees...torrential rain, like a snow white-out...then 1/2 hr later...sunshine and cloudless, azure skies. Gotta love the tropics. :D
 
At 1400 the weather radio started screaming again. Severe Thunderstorms with the possibility of Tornadoes.

By 1430 the song had changed to a Tornado Warning with several being sighted to the west of us.

By 1530 the electricity was out once more with the Transformer in front of our place having been struck by lightening once again. (When I called it in the Dispatcher told me they already had a crew dispatched and they would be there soon. He called me by name.)

Today was a nice light day here. Only two inches of rain so far. The ducks are hiding under the carports and wearing Life Jackets.

A decade isn't overnight Bel. The trend is cooler.

What's your source? According to NASA, 2008 was the coolest year since 2000, but the ninth warmest since instruments started recording temperatures back in 1880. The ten warmest years since 1880 have all happened since 1997. Using paleoclimatology, scientists at NOAA have concluded that the nineties and this decade are the warmest in the records for at least a thousand years. Read for yourself the methods they used to determine that.

The scientific consensus is that the planet is warming. The disagreements now are centered on how quickly it's happening and what will happen long term if it continues at its current rate. Well, except at Fox News...
