How's the weather?

[Prettymaid]

Enjoy the snow while it lasts AZ. Does the cold weather help your allergies?

[AzEaglesFan]

Yes. my allergies have taken a Winter break. It is down to 32 tonight. Around 5:00 this evening I took pity on our dog and took her for a walk. We couldn't go yesterday because I waited to late and the rain came. At 5:00 the sun was shining for a few minutes so I grabbed her away we went. I about frozen but she was all nice and snug in her fur coat. The things we do for our animals. It's "suppose" to clear up and be nice for the football game.

[MikeA]

This is hilarious! 68* yesterday and out on the golf course having a wonderful time. This morning it is 21* and a thunderstorm came through and we are supposed to have ice buildups!

Welcome to Kansas where it is NOTHING to have a 47* shift in temperatures!

[Freypower]

I would just ask you to spare a thought for the people of Queensland:

I'm in Sydney, New South Wales. It is nowhere near me.

Yes, I have already seen it on the news! It's really awful, my thougts are with the people of Queensland.

I'm in Sydney, New South Wales. It is nowhere near me.
That's good!

[MikeA]

Devastating FP.

[Prettymaid]

Thanks for sharing that FP. Sometimes my main source of news comes from The Border. :blush:

[jdubfan]

Crazy weather all over the globe. Going from drought to flooded in one storm is tough.
Our weather had a bit a turn, 55 degrees at midnight to 10 degrees tonight. A bit of thunder and wind. Missed feeling the earthquake tho, I'm a little disappointed, I think.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well the flooding in Queensland is horrible. My heart goes out to the folks who have lost their homes or businesses. It will take them a very long time to rebuild, but I know they will come back stronger than ever.

[sodascouts]

Wow, awful. I will pray for the people of Queensland.

[Troubadour]

I've been thinking of the people affected by the Queensland floods, too.

[TimothyBFan]

We have gotten 33 inches of snow since yesterday morning and it's still coming down. Good news is it's suppose to end tomorrow late morning after another foot or so. :yuck: Cancun would be really nice about now!

[Annabel]

Wow that beats the 8" we had before christmas. :laugh: Think my kids would be happy to have that much (especially if it meant they couldn't get to school. ;)) Does it cause much of a problem for you?

[EaglesFanatic]

We have gotten 33 inches of snow since yesterday morning and it's still coming down. Good news is it's suppose to end tomorrow late morning after another foot or so. :yuck: Cancun would be really nice about now!

Why don't you ship that snow over to CO? It has only snowed like three times this year!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Wow Willie - I am SOOOOO glad I am not you right now. We got about 2 -3 inches again last night and the weather reports are predicting for us to really get trounced on Tuesday. I had to laugh at your comment EF. My dear niece and her Army hubby moved to Colorado in December. Before they left, we teased them about getting snowbound all the time. Ever since they moved, we've had about 4 snowstorms - they've had only one with about 2 inches. So I guess for the time being, they're having the last laugh. But, I still miss them a whole lot anyway. :sad:

[sodascouts]

Memphis is forecasted to get light snow Monday morning. I'm glad. I miss snow - I got used to it in Indiana. However, it looks like it's not going to be very much, nor last very long. :(

[MikeA]

We're looking for 20% Sunday and 90% Monday. Accumulations of 3-5". We really need the moisture.

[jdubfan]

My weather's tiring...already shoveled twice, not shoveling again....today...

Tess will wait 'til it's properly cleared off, thank you...

[tequila girl]

Awww Deb, I'm sure you and Tess must be totally pee'd off with this weather...........................but it does look so beautiful!
Thanks for the pics!

[Koala]

Aww, beautiful pics!

The weather is bad here, it rains and everything looks grey, depressing!

[EaglesFanatic]

:partytime: I just woke up to snow! And it's still coming down hard!

[ticky]

It's raining here. Rain rain rain.. BLEH! they say its supposed to snow here next week and we'l be getting a foot or more. For all ya'll in the north, that's no big deal, for us here, that means a complete and total shut down of everything! For one thing, because of all the rain, we get black ice under the snow (that's ice that has a layer of dirt and oil on top of it so it's hard to see)
Anyway, Im well stocked up here and I have my seed catalogs so I'll be planning for spring *G*

[Troubadour]

It's been quite nice here today. Still chilly, but milder than it has been. We drove through the New Forest on the way home, and it was beautiful. Clear pink and blue sky.

[EaglesFanatic]

Wow, that's beautiful! Great pictures :nod:

[TimothyBFan]

Dad snow blowed a path for Pickles since it's over his head. We measured 38 inches on the patio table.

http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e136/williehoo/Winter20112.jpg


Supposedly we have actually gotten more snow than we did in the blizzard of '78 but without the wind and drifting. It's really kind of surreal out here. Good news is, it has finally stopped. There is another chance of snow come Tuesday but not supposed to be much.

[Troubadour]

Wow - that's a lot of snow! I love the pictures. They do have a surreal feel to them because of the blue tinge. The dogs are adorable, as usual!

[jdubfan]

I'm glad we're farther from the lake, TBF, I get enuf snow, don't want what you get. Had "freezing fog" this morning. Rarely happens, but is beautiful when it does. Not sure if this'll show up very well.

Everything was covered in diamond crystals, but didn't last long as we actually had some sunshine

[Troubadour]

Beautiful, Deb.

[sodascouts]

I'm loving these photos!

[Koala]

Great photos everyone!:thumbsup:

[WalshFan88]

:hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:

[TimothyBFan]

:blueblob: Good news is, not suppose to even get a trace of snow today. Bad news is, system snow coming through again tomorrow with a possible 2-6 inches and then the dreaded lake effect once again on Wednesday with accumulations in the double digits. :enraged: I don't really know where we are going to put it at this point. We have mountains around here at this point!

[EaglesFanatic]

I have to go to school. They didn't cancel!!

[sodascouts]

They canceled school in Memphis. So much for that "light snow shower" prediction from a couple days ago! It came down hard last night!

[Brooke]

Love those pics! Beautiful!

I love that freezing fog, too. We had it a couple weeks ago, a couple days in a row.

[Annabel]

It's been quite nice here today. Still chilly, but milder than it has been. We drove through the New Forest on the way home, and it was beautiful. Clear pink and blue sky.

Wot no ponies!!! Where are the ponies ???? My DD2 loves going through Beaulieu to see if we can see the donkeys :lol:

[Troubadour]

Ha - I love the ponies, too. Didn't see too many yesterday, though. Loads of cows...

[Brooke]

We are covered with the white stuff once again. About 7 inches since late yesterday afternoon. It's so pretty.

I can't imagine living where you live, Willie! I know you must get tired of it.

[WalshFan88]

It's very cold here. Wish Winter would hurry up and be gone.

[TimothyBFan]

http://bestsmileys.com/angry1/1.gif For the love of *%$!($#.... it's doing it again!!!!! http://bestsmileys.com/angry1/14.gif http://bestsmileys.com/angry1/8.gif

We don't know where we are going to put any more of the stuff! We are getting the system snow today that Brooke experienced over night. http://bestsmileys.com/winter/6.gif Then late tonight the lake effect is suppose to kick in again and we will be buried. http://bestsmileys.com/winter/22.gif About another foot in this area I hear.

[Annabel]

We have a dry and sunny day here today even though they forecast it to be cloudy. :partytime:
Not sure on the temp today but over the next couple of days we are forecast for it to be +13 degrees. Seasonal norm is +6 degrees. Crazy weather. :crazy: Oh but with that warmth comes more wind and rain. :brickwall:

[sodascouts]

I may think snow is pretty and appreciate it in small amounts, but I don't envy blizzard conditions!!

[Troubadour]

It's drizzly here - overcast and chilly. Same old story!

[Annabel]

Same as you but a bit warmer on the south coast :laugh:

[tequila girl]

Awww...... Judy I feel Sooooo Sorry for you and your doggies! :hilarious:

your house http://bestsmileys.com/winter/22.gif (stolen from Willie)

[ticky]

We are deffinitely having some Strange Weather here. It was supposed to snow yesterday, but didnt. It was really dry and cold, but what was strange is you could watch it get cold. It was pretty wet the day before and that morning so the ground was muddy and my bird feeder was full of water. As it got colder and drier, the streets and walks dried but the water left in the feeder froze up, like something out of a movie! You could almost watch the ice crystals form! (wish I had a time lapse camera) This morning it's warmed up and the rain is back in spades!

(No worries about the lil birdies, Sarah and I put out suet cakes for them. We have wood and bush tits by the hundreds flocking in our trees,.. let the puns begin..hehehe)

[TimothyBFan]

http://bestsmileys.com/lol/19.gif What Rhonda said!!! :blush:

BTW---Like I told you this morning Pueb---Not feeling real sorry for your "snowbound" situation!! Did I tell you about the over 3 feet of snow we have gotten since Friday and it's still coming down? :brickwall:

[GlennLover]

We're in the middle of a blizzard here. Hoping that the snow accumulation isn't too high. It's blowing & drifting though & we always seem to get a big drift in our driveway.

[Annabel]

:D Whine away P47 if it saves you getting bored. :laugh:

Grey and miserable here again today, but so warm out the heating didn't come on this morning. :stunned: More rain forecast for today.... tomorrow.... the next day and .......... even the one after that. :faint:

[Prettymaid]

Brr-r-r-r-r-r-r-r!!! It's cold. Very very cold.

[Glennsallnighter]

:D Whine away P47 if it saves you getting bored. :laugh:

Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain.......... http://www.smilies.4-user.de/include/Wetter/smilie_wet_074.gif

[Annabel]

Giess what. Rain. :rolleyes: oh and gale force winds later. I'm begining to thinkI'd like a little snow instead of all this rain. :ack:

[Annabel]

Absolutely chucking it down. :thumbsdown:

[Brooke]

Freezing rain turning to ice this morning! Ick!

[Mrs Frey]

It's 29 degrees celcius in Cape Town today, and just for once, the South Easter wind is not howling away.

Elsewhere in South Africa, the weather has caused chaos, with parts of 8 of our 9 provinces declared disaster areas due to the flooding caused by heavy rain over the last month. Lives have sadly been lost.

[WalshFan88]

It's still pretty darn cold here... SO ready for warm weather!

[Mrs Frey]

And the wind keeps blowing, and blowing, and blowing... :scowl:

[Prettymaid]

1 inch of snow predicted today and bitterly cold tonight and tomorrow! :fear:

[Brooke]

We got 4-5 inches of the white fluffy stuff overnight. Schools closed and bitter cold tonight.

[Koala]

It's cold and it's rain again! I want sun!

[Glennsallnighter]

So do I Koala! Its cold, dull and sleety rain today. Ugh!

[Annabel]

Very cold here too and we have had the odd snow flurry :brickwall: Where is spring. :eyebrow:

[Eve]

Perfect weather here! Perfect day, doesn't even feel like winter!

[tequila girl]

Perfect weather here! Perfect day, doesn't even feel like winter!
Lucky You! Hehe :thumbsup: It's been horrible here today :thumbsdown:

[Brooke]

Frozen fog the last three days in the morning. It's really pretty, but not fun to drive in.

[EaglesFanatic]

66 fricken degrees right now! I want snowwww! Oh well, I'll work with what I have, and go shoot some hoops outside :)

[TimothyBFan]

We are under a blizzard watch for the next few days. I guess there's like 3 systems coming in to the area including Missouri, Illinois & Indiana that includes inches of ice, feet of snow and major winds. They are even saying we could get "Thundersnow" which is very rare and usually means that it dumps an average of 2 inches of snow an hour. From what they are saying, it depends on how the systems track on whether in our neck of the woods we get more snow or ice. What they think we will get will be about a foot and a half of system snow, followed by a couple inches of ice followed by Lake Effect snow. I guess south of here, they are expecting inches of ice and major power outages.

Brooke, Cathy and anyone else in that area, let us know how it's going down there and stay safe. Sounds like we are all under the gun at this point.

[Brooke]

They are saying that we will have snow of historic proportions for our area here in NE Missouri. 12-18 inches starting Tuesday through Wednesday. First we are to get up to a quarter inch of ice. Plus high winds causing blowing and drifting. They are advising that we stay inside and postpone travel plans till after the storm is over. Ya think?! All the weather people are so excited, they just can't talk about it enough! It's funny, most of the time when they get something this big to talk about we miss most of it! We'll see. Everyone around here is skeptical. Our weather people can't make a decision till they look outside and see what is happening! :lol:

Our biggest snow in recent years was 13 inches in 1999.

Willie, this is baby talk compared to what you or Molly are used to, but we're excited to see what will happen! We are having a few sprinkles at this moment and it's 27 F. :fear:

[AzEaglesFan]

The weather has been great here but woke up to rain this morning. Ok with me, we need all we can get.

[Prettymaid]

We have a winter advisory out for this afternoon until midnight. Supposed to get 12-14 inches by Wednesday, a mixture of ice and snow. I feel like I'm being transported to Willieland! Brrrr! :fear:

[Wildthyme]

I will be thinking of all of you in the plains, midwest, and east who are about to get walloped by this storm system. Hope you and yours all stay warm, and dry, and safe...

[EaglesFanatic]

It's going to be a high of 2 degrees tomorrow, and it's finally snowing! PM, we also have a winter advisory. I'm hoping to get snowed in tomorrow :)

[Eve]

It's going to be a high of 2 degrees tomorrow, and it's finally snowing! PM, we also have a winter advisory. I'm hoping to get snowed in tomorrow :)


That is so not fair...;)

[EaglesFanatic]

That is so not fair...;)

It's official... Snow dayyyyyy! No school tomorrow :partytime:

[sodascouts]

Praying for the folks about to endure the massive snowstorms. Keep safe and warm!

[TimothyBFan]

So Jess, Mike--how are you guys fairing this morning so far? I hear you're getting it this morning and ours will be here by late this afternoon. Is it as bad as they are saying? I can't remember the last time we've had a good ol' fashion "blizzard warning". Could get interesting!

[MikeA]

Well, so far I'm fine. It's 71* here in Wichita (IN MY HOME)! It's 4* outside with 30mph wind and 45mph wind gusts. They are saying the "feels like" temperature is -20*. There is a little snow accumulation already (at 6:33am) but we are supposed to be getting between 7" and 11". But that estimation is changing all the time. Last night, it was 1" to 2" with another 3" today <LOL>

A good day to stay in and play guitar.

[eaglesvet]

Oh, my father-in-law added Wonder Bread bags inside his boots to patch up the holes...

[eaglesvet]

Seriously, I was thinking about the majority of the middle part of the country experiencing the severe winter weather today...stay safe and stay warm! We have had not so nice of a winter out East, either; and I guess we will get the dregs of what you send us a bit later tonight...mostly ice and not so much snow. No fun for driving for us. Lucky thing I am off work until Thursday, but I was going to brave the elements to go food shopping in a few. It was too darn crowded with the storm-prep folks at the store yesterday!

[Brooke]

Well, the boss sent us home at 10:30 saying the roads were terrible and it would only get worse. This morning there was a light glaze of ice on everything. The snow started at about 9 and the wind has picked up. Driving home it was nearly a white out. We actually have a blizzard warning and nearly everything is shut down. Or should be! Thankfully I only live a couple miles from work, but it is down a dead end gravel road. It was already drifting as I came home. I'm sure it will be completely closed by morning if we get the 20-24 inches and 45 mph winds predicted. Our biggest snowfall on record here is 14 inches back in 1999. http://www.graphicsgrotto.com/emoticons/weather/images/emweather10.gif (http://www.graphicsgrotto.com/)

I'm just glad we didn't get much ice. Hopefully, the power will stay on through this then. :shiver:

[Annabel]

Hope those of you in the storm area stay safe. :angel: We have gale force winds and heavy rain forecast in parts of the UK for the rest of the week. :rolleyes: That'll make a change. As long as I can work on Friday still. ;)

[Troubadour]

Thinking of you guys in the States and hoping that you stay safe and warm in the storms. The weather here is chilly and dull, although it has been brighter the past few days.

[Prettymaid]

The bank closed early today at 1:00 (that never happens!) :partytime: I love being safe indoors listening to the ice hit the windows. But like Brooke, I hope the power doesn't go out. No power = no entertainment!

BTW Eva, nice to see you around!

[TimothyBFan]

Yup--This verifies it--I'm screwed!!! :hilarious:

[Freypower]

Remember when I told you recently about the floods in Queensland?

Cairns and/or Townsville will be hit by Cyclone Yasi in a few hours - it is a Category 5, the same as Hurricane Katrina. It will be big. Spare a thought for them. :-(

[Koala]

I remember this of course! I have heart about this already in the news!I hope the cyclone does not hit with full force on the coast!

Be careful, everyone just where the weather is just as bad!
TBF, like the Graphics!

[Annabel]

Heard about the cyclone this morning on the radio. Winds of up to 180 mph Mass evacuations. :fear: We sat out Wilma in Orlando in 2005 and that was enough. Thankfully we weren't in the worst area then. Feel for the people affected. :-(

TBF love the graphics. :hilarious:

[Prettymaid]

Yup--This verifies it--I'm screwed!!! :hilarious:

Gee, I guess I was only mostly screwed. Is that anything like being a little bit pregnant? :headscratch:

[Troubadour]

I am thinking of those in Australia affected by the cyclone.

[Brooke]

Fp, what a cyclone. My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected.

TBF, love your weather map!

We have survived the worst of it here. We got on average about 20 inches of snow with gusting winds from 20 to 50 mph last night. Everything is shut down. The state is concentrating on the major highways like I70 (it was completely shut down last night all across MO!) and 36. The snow is over and they will work on the lesser roads today. Who knows when my county road will get plowed. It just depends on how bad they are drifted, which will be pretty bad. We do have a county commissioner next door (b/n/l!) so they usually get to ours pretty quick. And getting out of our long drive is another problem. It is drifted about 2-3 feet in places which doesn't sound like much, but even 4 x 4's can't get through it. We lost power at 4:30 last night and it came back on around 7 pm which wasn't bad. We figured it would be out till morning. I don't know how those electric workers worked in the awful conditions they had last night, but thanks guys! It is much appreciated! :thumbsup:

I went out to take a few pictures and immediately dropped my camera in the snow! The pics I took are fuzzy. Hopefully my camera will dry out and then work right! (insert ding dong smilie!)

[Prettymaid]

Hope you did your grocery shopping Brooke!

Here in Central IL we mostly got ice, not nearly as much snow as was first predicted. It looks like we got 4-6 inches. I got an early call from my boss. The bank is not opening until noon today. Hubby is outside digging us out now.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yep - my thoughts are also with the the people of Queensland. It will probably take them years to recover from all that Mother Nature has bestowed upon them lately, but, hopefully, they'll come back stronger than ever!

And also thinking of all of you in the midwest that got pounded. This has been a very harsh winter for many of us here in the U.S. And Willie - love that map. I'm just hoping I don't have to borrow it. :pray:

[AzEaglesFan]

It was 20 degrees this morning on our front porch. The water bucket was froze almost solid. Yesterday it just had an inch of ice on top.
We didn't have any hot water until 10:00, I guess the pipe going into the water tank froze up.
I went out to get the mail and water was running down our drive way. Bobby went out to check, he thought a pipe had froze and broke but it turned out that when he put some insulation around the pipe he had turned the water on by mistake. What a relief, it would not have been fun changing out the pipe because it is still only 38 outside now. I think I would have just turned the water off to the house and let it go until it warms up. We can use paper plates. It would probably be bad though when we had to flush the toilets.

[Annabel]

Wow, I always think of Arizona as being hot. Well it was when I went there. :laugh:

We had a beautiful day here today and I went out without a coat. :-o Think it was only about 9* but felt and looked like spring. Much better than the start of the week when the guinea pig's cucumber put in for her evening meal was frozen the next morning. :huh:

[Brooke]

-11 F here this morning. Wind chill like -20. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr! http://bestsmileys.com/cold/8.gif

[Glennsallnighter]

We've had an extremely harsh winter too, by our standards and even though its warmed up its still windy and rainy. Only today a 45 year old woman was killed by a falling tree on one of our main streets in Dublin city.

To all of you still suffering the effects of the winter, please be careful Spring really cannot be far away now. :pray:

[WalshFan88]

Finally the effects of the blizzard are starting to go away. Snowed in for a couple of days there. Nasty weather. I can't wait for Spring. My favorite season.

[tequila girl]

Glad the weather is favourable for you :thumbsup: and soooo pleased that
life is gooder :hilarious: :hilarious:

[Freypower]

The floods left Queensland & have now hit Victoria, would you believe!

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/02/06/3131027.htm

You know, if you have to be told not to swim in floodwater....

Cyclone Yasi wasn't nearly as bad as had been predicted, but if you're interested here is a link: The main town affected was Tully; Cairns & Townsville escaped.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/events/yasi/

[sodascouts]

On the phone with my aunt in Houston today, I was told there was a great deal of outrage over the fact that the weatherman had said they would get 1-3 inches of snow last week and they got nothing. Schools had been called off in preparation for the "big snow" and kids were eagerly looking forward to it, only to have nothing more than a bit of ice.

[MikeA]

Oh Boy! Just got word from my local City's alert system...we're in for another 4-5" of snow tomorrow (Feb 8).

I'm really SICK of this! Thinking that maybe moving to the Bahamas might be a possibility after all!

[Freypower]

While the US has snow, Perth has bushfires!

http://www.watoday.com.au/national/perth-bushfires-brought-under-control-20110208-1akh8.html

Australia seems to have taken a lot so far in 2011.

[Freypower]

Perth had the bushfires but the floods were in Queensland & Victoria & the cyclone was in far north Queensland. Perth is on the opposite side of the country to those places.

[MikeA]

Just in:

Advisory Message has been issued by the City of Andover.

Tuesday February 8, 2011 10:49 AM CST

New snow preditions for our area is now 8 to 12 inches of snow by Wednesday afternoon.

[sodascouts]

Wow. Stay safe!

[MikeA]

It's coming your way tomorrow Soda! Arkansas first and then on your way!

[sodascouts]

They keep telling us we'll get snow but today it's bright and sunny. Guess that can change quickly though!

[jdubfan]

I can see parts of the roof of my house! Haven't seen that since the beginning of January....still have about 14" of snow, ice and snirt in the yard that's too deep for my dog Tess to go thru, but still....thawing is proceeding :partytime:

[Koala]

It has been snowing once more and it is very cold. We have 25 °F but by the strong wind it feels like -0.4°F!
http://www.smilies.4-user.de/include/Wetter/blizzard.gif

[Brooke]

We are finally thawing out and melting! It's supposed to be 65 on Thursday! The gravel road I have to drive on is now a hog wallow and my car will probably never look the same!

Some people do nothing but complain, don't we?! Can't make us happy no matter what! :lol:

[Stars]

We just had about six inches of snow last night, and over the week-end it was in the 60's! I guess I was wrong in thinking the snow was over for the winter-never say never! :smile:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yeah, Carla. It's crazy here on the East Coast, that's for sure. Although, we haven't gotten any snow this time, we seem to be in the same trend here in the mid-atlantic. It was in the low 70's here yesterday - today it's in the low 40's and raining. Guess which day I have to be outside the most! :hmm: :grin:

Heard on the news this morning that this year has been the 6th in the most snow ever and that that area only needs a 1/2 an inch more to move into 5th on all time snowfall ever, which we will most likely get tonight with a few inches expected again. The South Bend station that broadcast that says the total for them is 102 inches. Now if you remember right tho, all those days I complained about when we'd be getting lake effect and South Bend and east of here would get nothing? Wonder what our total is for my little town.

[Midnight_Flyer]

it's nice and sunny and blue sky here today :)

[Annabel]

Spring has sprung on the south coast. Sunny, warm and blue skies. Well for today that is. :laugh:

[Brooke]

6-8 inches of that white, wet snow over night! http://bestsmileys.com/winter/5.gif It's really beautiful, a couple inches stuck on all the trees. I took some pictures and will try to post one soon.

Just when the last one had melted off! I'm ready for spring!

[tbs fanatic]

Snow and ice AGAIN! I am so sick of it. It has been a big pain in the butt week with everyone driving me nuts with a bunch of stupid drama and now I have to put up with this - Grrrrrrr!

[sodascouts]

Like I said in another post, we had a tornado in the area Thursday night that knocked out our power for quite a while. The tornado never came over to where I was, but the tornado sirens were on full blast for OVER TWO HOURS. That freaked me out hard-core.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I think I would have been freaked out too, Soda. I guess folks like Mike or Jess may be a little used to it, but I think that would wreck my last good nerve! :fear:

[Prettymaid]

Glad it didn't come near you Soda.

Like Brooke and TBSF, we got a few inches overnight Thursday. It's funny, the weather always seems to be all the talk in the midwest in the winter, but what do we expect? It's winter! :hilarious:

[Midnight_Flyer]

been kinda rainy here today

[Koala]

Sunny but cold, indeed, it should become warmer during the next days!

[Midnight_Flyer]

cloudy here today

[Annabel]

Sunny but cold, indeed, it should become warmer during the next days!

Sounds like the forecast here. :lol:

[EagleLady]

Got some Nasty Storms in the area. a Tornado Touched down at the Naval base.

[AzEaglesFan]

Would have been a beautiful day, temp around 80 BUT the wind is blowing like crazy.:evil:

[Stars]

Pouring rain here, and the forecast is rain for the next three days! If I didn't have to work, I would curl up with a good book!:)

[WalshFan88]

It's COLD here right now - I'm sooo ready for warm weather! Right now it's about 40 degrees out.

[AzEaglesFan]

Finally a nice day without wind. It's around 74 degrees right now. Suppose to be in the 80s in Phoenix this weekend.:applause:

[Annabel]

Just seen a heavy snow warning for parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland. :eyebrow: Thank goodness I'm way down on the south coast of England. I have a sunny day booked. :thumbsup:

[Glennsallnighter]

So have I! I sincerely hope it doesn't move any further south. We have all had enough snow for this year. Also I WANT a nice springy St Patricks Day next week. I always feel if Patricks Day is nice it sets the scene for a nice summer whereas if it isn't the weather just doesn't really settle.
Mind you, we HAVE had snow on Patricks Day before

[Brooke]

After a very dreary, cold week, our forcast is for 50's and 60's for the next week and little or no rain. :yay:

[tbs fanatic]

Monday morning - snow. Wednesday - 72 warm degrees. :headscratch:

[EagleLady]

Looks like Spring is finally here. The Bumblebees are out doing their thing, I'm busy running from them, lol!

[Brooke]

Same here. I was outside earlier and the frogs were peeping and birds singing.

75 F here tomorrow! :yay:

[Annabel]

Looks like Spring is finally here. The Bumblebees are out doing their thing, I'm busy running from them, lol!

I've been doing that on the odd really nice day here. :fear:

[AzEaglesFan]

80 degrees at our house. The bees are fighting the hummingbirds for the feeders. Plus we have a woodpecker that runs them all off. Our rose bushes already have buds.

[Scarlet Sun]

Walking around in an Eagles t-shirt at 11:00 at night on March 17th. Can't beat that

[tequila girl]

It's 41 degrees here..........and i'm envious of you all with high temps! :scowl:

[Annabel]

Spring is arriving here this week according to the weather forecast. :yay:

[tequila girl]

I've been expecting it for days........but it hasn't yet materialised - Fingers Crossed, i'm hoping for Tomorrow!:unimpressed:

[Midnight_Flyer]

the last few days it has been soooo warm here :D :heart::partytime::thumbsup:

[Annabel]

Make the most of it we are heading for it being colder by the weekend. :huh:

[tequila girl]

Supposedly 56 for me today! :thumbsup:

[Annabel]

Up to 63 for me here. :yay: Lovely and warm out there. Tots is out soaking up the sun in the garden :hmm: so I might join her with a book.

[Brooke]

Back to the cold, harsh reality of winter today and for the next few days. 30 F this morning! And a chance of snow tonight! http://bestsmileys.com/winter/14.gif Boo, hiss!

We had 70's and 60's for several days and all the trees are budding out and spring flowers are coming up. Just to get their socks knocked off! :x

[Midnight_Flyer]

Make the most of it we are heading for it being colder by the weekend. :huh:

i know :( i wish it was going the other way instead lol

[WalshFan88]

COLD! :hilarious:

[Koala]

Sunny and warm, finally!

[Brooke]

32F and snowing like crazy! :grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr:

[Midnight_Flyer]

it's lovely here again today :yay:

[Annabel]

Absolutely gorgeous for 2 dyas in a row :faint: :laugh:

[Troubadour]

The weather has been beautiful here in Hampshire for the past few days, too. Wednesday especially was glorious!

[Midnight_Flyer]

it's lovely here again today :D

[Annabel]

The weather has been beautiful here in Hampshire for the past few days, too. Wednesday especially was glorious!

Have to agree with you Lou. :yay: Us Hampshire Hogs have been very lucky. :D (let's hope that wasn't summer :laugh:)

[whitcap]

It's raining pretty hard here.

[tequila girl]

Winter's returned.........It's Freeeeeeezing *Brrrrrrrrrrr* :?

[Brooke]

32 here this morning with ice on the deck steps! http://www.anchoredbygrace.com/smileys/mgcold.gif

At least the sun is shining!

[Annabel]

Winter's returned.........It's Freeeeeeezing *Brrrrrrrrrrr* :?

:hilarious: Summer is coming back over the next couple of days Carole and set to be the hotest days so far by the w/e ........apparently.

Beats the grey skies with rain I had here today. Oh and the heating came on by itself. :eyebrow:

[Koala]

Today we should get our first real warm day of the year! Just now the sun comes out! :-o
Today we will open the grill season! http://www.smilies.4-user.de/include/Essen/smilie_essen_144.gif

[EaglesKiwi]

Today is our last day of Daylight Saving. It's still t-shirt weather, but autum/fall is definitely on its way. We are still grilling, but soon DH will have to rig up the portable lights!

[Annabel]

We bagan British Summer Time last Sunday. I'm still looking for my lost hour :doh: but it is nice to have it get darker later in the evening. :yay:

[AzEaglesFan]

It hit 100 in Phoenix, we got up to 96. Everyone here is wanting winter back. This broke a record for the earliest it has ever hit 100 degrees. It is SUPPOSE to cool off.:-(

[Prettymaid]

Wow. I want warm weather but I don't want 100 degrees!

[Brooke]

We had a record high of 88 F Sunday! Now this morning it was 28!

I so love midwest weather. Not! :rolleyes:

[EaglesFanatic]

We had a record high of 88 F Sunday! Now this morning it was 28!

I know exactly what you're talking about. Two days ago, it was 85 degrees, and by 2:00pm that same day, HUGE snowflakes were coming down. I say, keep the snow coming! I like the winter way better than the summer, lol.

Sunday:

http://i1194.photobucket.com/albums/aa377/asusundevils/IMG_1441-1.jpg

[AzEaglesFan]

Cooling off (thank God) it's was 82 at our house today. SUPPOSE to get cooler tomorrow. Wish it would hurry, don't want to have to turn our cooler on this early.

[Prettymaid]

I say, keep the snow coming! I like the winter way better than the summer, lol.

Bite your tongue! :yuck: Cool picture though.

[MikeA]

Well, It must be that time of year again for Kansas and Oklahoma. We're under a tornado "watch" meaning conditions are favorable for a tornado to form.

However, 60 miles south of us, right on or very close to the Oklahoma/Kansas border, there is a tornado "warning". A funnel was spotted there. It's a long ways from Jess and that group of cells is far enough away from us here the Wichita area to not be much of a factor....but it sure FEELS like Storm Weather!

[MikeA]

We dodged it, but just barely! About a mile south of us, baseball sized hail knocked out car AND house windows! We got some but none over marble sized. No damage.

We were going to clean out our large pond this morning, but there is no way we are going to WASTE free water! Have to pump most of the water out of the pond in order to clean it. Neither of us really wanted to do it anyway. It is a filthy stinking job <LOL>

[WalshFan88]

It's warming up.....finally.

[tequila girl]

58 here today - beautiful 8-)....I sat outside for about 4 hours listening to The Eagles & JB and reading.....now, I think i've got a touch of sunstroke!;) :worried: :ack:

[AzEaglesFan]

Rained Thursday, Friday was cloudy and windy. today it's raining and windy again, around 40 degrees. Well I didn't want it to get to hot to soon . They are even telling us we could get snow. Of course we will, Bobby's roses are blooming and look beautiful.

[Troubadour]

Beautiful weather here. Hot and sunny. Set to stay the same for the next few days, I think.

[MikeA]

It got up to 90*f today here in Wichita. Grass was wet this morning so it was a perfect time (I thought) to spread weed-n-feed. I've found it easier and less strain on my back to use a hand spreader....but making two passes over our yard (3/4 acre) really wore me out! And now they are predicting 40% chance for more rain tonight! Supposed to put the Weed-N-Feed on with wet grass after a rain, but then you're supposed to have a couple of dry days to let it really do its job.

Oh well.

[Prettymaid]

Loved the warm weather...the humidity not so much. No worries now though - it's 40 degrees today. :eyebrow:

[Brooke]

Turned the ac on Saturday and Sunday. Off Monday. Heat today! :rolleyes:

[Annabel]

Well, we've been hotter than the Med here in the UK recently :thumbsup: and today we took a big step backwards and are back to sesonal norm temps. That's about 50 daytime and a lot colder overnight. :eyebrow: Rain I believe for the next 3 days. :brickwall:

[Koala]

Suitably at my holiday beginning the weather becomes better!!!:D The sun is shining, no wind, which is really rare here on the coast. And the temperatures become slowly higher also!:yay:

[AzEaglesFan]

Nice weather today. Around 72 for the high with just a slight breeze. But tomorrow is another day and it is suppose to be warmer.

[Annabel]

Doesn't sound good Judy.

[AzEaglesFan]

Poor Judy. When the rain goes away, then comes all that mowing.

[tequila girl]

I've just been reading about this on Yahoo News.....it's saying 9 people dead in Oklahoma & Arkansas.....Terrible :sad:

[MikeA]

Hard to stay on-line today. Wind keeps blowing my wireless signals away from my router. 50 and 60 mph winds in Wichita. I'll swear, I don't see how the limbs can stay on the trees! This is no joke: We have a waterfall on our fish pond and the wind is blowing the water from the waterfall BACK up into the basin that feeds it! And it is COLD to boot. Cold for April at 41*f.

And to think I had taken this afternoon off to play golf. I can't even imagine being out on a golf course in this! Sure was a good afternoon to sleep though.

[WalshFan88]

Blech.

[tequila girl]

Blech.
Haha Austin, I just had to google this to find out what it meant!! :blush: :hilarious: :hilarious:

[WalshFan88]

Haha Austin, I just had to google this to find out what it meant!! :blush: :hilarious: :hilarious:

:hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:

[WalshFan88]

:laugh:The variations of slang from the younger ones around the world are educational, so to speak, and highly amusing. Too funny!:hilarious:

:nahnah:

[MikeA]

I went out to get the mail and almost fell flat on my face! There was no wind!

Graham Nash said as he was taking the stage Saturday Night that he had to walk out to the bus to grab a bag he'd forgotten and it took him ten minutes. It only took two minutes to walk back!

Saturday, the wind was howling up close to 50mph in gusts up here in Kansas and apparently wasn't any different down in Oklahoma.

[WalshFan88]

I'm soooo sick of this crappy weather. Ick!

[Midnight_Flyer]

it's lovely here today :D

[Annabel]

Make the most of it M F, we have rain forecast for the w/e. :ack:

[EaglesKiwi]

We have autumn weather - very changeable, lots of rain, but the sunny days in between (like yesterday) are like an unexpected gift.

Hoping to get to Cornwall Park (where we got married!) this weekend to see the beautiful colours in the trees - and to kick leaves with my daughter!! :nod:

[Koala]

Finally it's warm and sunny!

[Brooke]

I've been hearing about the dangerous flooding in Memphis. Soda, I hope you are ok and aren't in the floodplain.

[Annabel]

We had a strange and rare weather phenomenon on Friday night that totally freaked my youngest daughter out. It's called a roll cloud. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcus_cloud Amazing cloud formation and wind so loud it almost hurt your ears. Just as if somebody had turned on an industrial sized fan, (like in the movies?). All over in a few minutes and back to normal for a while before a storm rolled in and torrential rain. DD2 thought we were having a hurricane, although I think she meant tornado. :lol: Apparently lots of people along the south coast rang the met office to see if it was a tornado, so she wasn't alone.

[MikeA]

Some really weird weather globally isn't there. I heard the Mississippi was to reach it's crest Tuesday (tomorrow). That could get really ugly!

That "roll-cloud"....reminds me somewhat of the dust storm Jess and Lou experienced out in Arizona last year. Those hit Kansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska back in the dust bowl years and took as much as 8" of top soil off the land leaving nothing for things to grow on!

We're having weird weather patterns in Kansas also. Today, we have a predicted 99* temperature (furnace weather!) that will blow the previous high temp out the water! Previous high was 95 back in 1989. Good grief....this is MAY. We usually don't open our swimming pool until some time in June but I'm going to have to get it open and get chlorine in it else we're going to have an algae and mosquito farm!

[Midnight_Flyer]

it's a bit windy here today

[TimothyBFan]

Brooke---are you ok? You also, Mike? I heard Missouri and Kansas got hit pretty bad last night. We had some strong storms but no tornadoes just lots of lightening, high winds and torrential downpours. We are to get storms again this afternoon and this time they are calling for possible hail and damaging winds again.

Everyone stay safe!!

[Annabel]

it's a bit windy here today

Same here on the South Coast. :eyebrow:

[Brooke]

We're all fine here in NE Missouri, thankfully. Not even any rain where I live.

Poor Joplin. (SW Mo.) :stunned:

[Annabel]

:stunned: Wow just googled Joplin and :shock: that must have been absolutely awful. Thoughts to everyone there affected.

[Midnight_Flyer]

Same here on the South Coast. :eyebrow:

:(
we want the sun back!!!!!! lol :thumbsup:

[Midnight_Flyer]

also, i hope the people in the tornado affected area/areas are ok

[Annabel]

:(
we want the sun back!!!!!! lol :thumbsup:

:partytime: Seen it this morning, now for a bit of heat. :shrug: Don't want much do I!:hilarious:

[Midnight_Flyer]

Don't want much do I!:hilarious:

:hilarious: not really haha :P

[Midnight_Flyer]

yay, we have sun today :partytime:

[tequila girl]

Oh-ohhh..... Lights have just started to flicker - here comes the Thunder!

[tequila girl]

In the space of a couple of seconds the Heavens have opened and are dropping everything (very heavily) on Me! :hilarious:

[Annabel]

Guess Wimbledon has finished with it then. :laugh: My 'storm' came to nothing. :eyebrow:

[Brooke]

We finally have clear skies here today after weeks of gloom and rain! :yay:

And nice, too! 77F right now! :thumbsup:

[Prettymaid]

And power.....?

[Brooke]

Yes! Hubby called and said it was back on at about 10 am this morning! :yay:

[Prettymaid]

Good deal! :thumbsup: Although showering in the dark might have been a fun game for two...

[Brooke]

Pm, you naughty girl! lol

[Troubadour]

BEAUTIFUL weather today! Clear blue skies and bright sun, even at 7am.

[WalshFan88]

It's cold here. I wish it'd warm up SOON!

[Prettymaid]

It's cold here. I wish it'd warm up SOON!

Austin, I live no more than three hours east of you and yesterday was perfect IMO. Warm temps, low humidity. Today we're supposed to have more of the same. Don't you watch Jennifer Ketchmark on the WCIA channel 3 news? :hilarious:

Honestly, I'm thrilled. This season has been either too hot and humid or too rainy so far. It decided to be perfect just in time for my vacation! :thumbsup:

[Midnight_Flyer]

sunny but cloudy here at the moment

[Brooke]

Horribly hot and humid here. 93 F. :yuck:

But at least the sun is shining!

[Brooke]

sunny but cloudy here at the moment

:headscratch: lol

[Troubadour]

Beautiful. Warm, but with a cool breeze. Perfect for an outdoor concert in Kent... ;)

[WalshFan88]

LOL it was not warm enough for my tastes. It wasn't freezing cold but it wasn't up to my temps I like though either. :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:

[AzEaglesFan]

They are reporting 118 in Phoenix, 113 at our house. :worried:

[WalshFan88]

On a positive note, it was much warmer today and I was able to go swimming for a couple of hours which was nice!

[EaglesFanatic]

Crazy weather here! Lots of flash floods and thunder storms.

[Troubadour]

Strange weather today. Lots of showers earlier and overcast spells, then it turned into a beautiful, sunny, clear evening.

[Koala]

Yesterday alternated rain and sun and it was very muggy .Today it should become better, no more rain and not so muggy !

[AzEaglesFan]

Hot most of the day around 99 degrees, then about 8:00PM a storm came through and dropped the temp to 74. LOTS of wind and finally some rain. We'll pay for it tomorrow with high humidity but it sure is good sleeping weather tonight with all the windows and doors open.

[Henley Honey]

Doors open?? That must be nice. In this neck of the woods they are double bolted.

[Brooke]

Sunny and muggy, 94 F and feels like 110 F. Awful!

And I spent the afternoon scraping and painting on my son's house! At least we were in the shade, but it was very hot!

[Glennsallnighter]

I hope your son appreciates what a wonderful Mom he has Brooke! (and rewards you with a trip to Canada in the near future :wink: ) How is the tooth?

[Brooke]

I hope your son appreciates what a wonderful Mom he has Brooke! (and rewards you with a trip to Canada in the near future :wink: ) How is the tooth?

Now that would be nice, but he doesn't have the money! He does appreciate it though.

The tooth is all fixed and doing fine! :yay:

[EaglesKiwi]

The tooth is all fixed and doing fine! :yay:
Good to hear!

[Troubadour]

Today has been absolutely beautiful. Warm, sunny and clear. Perfect summer weather!

[Annabel]

Today has been absolutely beautiful. Warm, sunny and clear. Perfect summer weather!

Apart from all the flying ants in the air I'd agree. :)

[Troubadour]

Ha! It's a little cloudier here today, but still warm.

[Koala]

How's the weather? Wet and cold!!! It's raining, with short interruptions since Tuesday add to this strong wind! At the moment I ask myself whether I have autumn vacation instead of summer vacation!

[tequila girl]

Wet, cold & windy here too - has been all week and set to go on into next week!:-(

[WalshFan88]

The weather isn't too bad here. I've been able to get out and go swimming in the pool almost every night this week. Lovin' it.

[EaglesKiwi]

Wet, wet, wet... and very windy (had dog training on Tuesday night & they were all going nutty in the wind!).

Of course it is July and that's kind of midwinter down here.

I can't complain - but sometimes I still do!

[Brooke]

Cloudy and mid 80's here today, but warming back up like a boiler room starting tomorrow.

[Annabel]

Wet, cold & windy here too - has been all week and set to go on into next week!:-(

:eyebrow: Not like that for me. Had some lovely hot days, bit breezy at times but not bad although they are fading now into rain for the weekend. :sad:

[tequila girl]

It's been lovely today! :thumbsup: I went out on the boat for a few hours! :)

[EaglesKiwi]

We have had a beautiful sunny winter's day - at a dog show for the day and the rain held off until we all went home! :thumbsup:

[Brooke]

Ugh, it's 101 F here right now and feels like 110, so the weatherman says! http://bestsmileys.com/hot/3.gif

I'm so thankful I work inside where it's air-conditioned! My son is in Jamaica on his honeymoon and it's cooler there than here at 84 F! :rolleyes:

[Annabel]

Brooke, how about you shave some degrees off your high temps to make life more bearable and send them across the pond to us. Summer seems to have stalled here and the kids are about to break up for the summer holidays. :eyebrow: Weather very hit and miss. Helps you and will help me. ;) :laugh:

Todays forecast. Bright start with rain possibly thundery and with a risk of hail.
HAIL !!!!!!!! it's July for goodness sake. :brickwall:

[Brooke]

I'd love to Ab! Looks like we've got the same story for today and through the weekend. :scowl:

[TimothyBFan]

IT'S FLIPPIN' HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
