I've got Monday off so it's a long weekend, but we are really getting pounded with rain here in Arkansas. Looks like it's going to last until Monday. 

I guess is could be worse, all those folks west and north of us a getting the ice treatment.

We had a ridiculously nice pretty day, highs in the mid 70s and clear skies. The Kind of perfect spring picnic or day out weather. Wish I could deposit it in the weather savings account and use it later.

But the rain and colder temps are due here Monday or Tuesday.

Spotty rain is what we have been seeing in Baltimore.  Which sucks, as I am off and Jenna wants to go out and play soccer.  She is quite good at dribbling the ball back and forth between the two of us.  When she plays with other kids she just runs rings around them.  Of course, it could help that she is a big girl - 95% for her age.

Monday, Tuesday temps in the 80's with winds, cooler on Wednesday, frost and freeze warnings on Thursday- Saturday, temps down to the 30's at night, Sunday and the sun's out, real pretty day but still cold, weather has been kind of strange this week.  :question: :buggedout:

It's been cold here in Governator-ville. Temps down in the 20's at night, highs in the 40's during the day. The wind chill has made it even colder and we almost got snow for the first time in 15 years or so. Still, I know it gets much colder in other places, so I can deal.

We're finally getting normal weather here in Newfoundland. We finally have some snow on the ground. Was freaky having warm temperatures during the beginning of January.

Still having a lot of wonky weather here in my part of Pennsylvania. The last few years have been frigid and snowy. This year, warm and rainy with occasional bits of freezing rain and snow flurries. This schizophrenic weather is really making me wonder if something is majorly wrong with Mother Nature. If animals start attacking us all in the upper mountainous regions of the country, then we'll know a hole in the ozone layer is to blame.  :wink:

Somebody has been watching William Girdler's Day of the Animals recently. :teddyr:

Yeah, well, you can bet a dog (this side of Cujo) is not going to take me out, even bare-handed.  Nor do I intend to try and wrestle a bear.

Well I did read something at another site about birds mysteriously dropping dead in Texas and in Australia, two opposite sides of the world. There's talk of breeding extra huge bunny rabbits to fill food shortage needs in Korea and who knows what else that sounds like a sci-fi/horror b-movie come to life so who knows what will happen/is happening?

Actually all this rain is welcome for a lot of folks around here. The last couple of years we've had pretty big rain deficits and with Arkansas being a large agricultural state that really hurts a lot of peoples livelyhoods.


Monday the rain is going away followed by clearing and lows in the 20's with wind chills in the single digits. I too wonder a lot about the weird weather patterns we've been having the last few years.

Weather in New York City  has been damn strange. Since winter started their has been hardly any days going under 40. This week is going to be cold on Wedsenday with it going to be 21 at night. Than it back to high 30s.

No snow so far and hardly any rain.

      OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH....This is beginning to freak me out. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH. Should I get my blankie?  :question: This weather thing has been going on for several years now. It seems like when it rains now, it comes down like a waterfall. The winds have been getting stronger and more often and the heat waves last longer too. I'm going to get my blankie now.  :buggedout:

Where I live, we had our first snow of the year, Wednesday. And people were out taking pictures of it, like they had never seen snow before. But I didn't have to come into work until 2:00 p.m, and by that time, the roads were driveable. Today we have drizzle, but, so far, it has stayed above freezing, and I hope it stays that way, as I don't want to be out on the icy streets after dark.

I did watch Day After Tomorrow the other day, so I suppose it's a sign that the apocalyptic nightmare of the new Ice Age is upon us.

Our weather has been stinking hot lately, and combine that with severe bushfires means that things have been a bit crazy.

This is compounded by the fact that a couple of days ago the fires severed a major power conduit and cut power to almost the entire state for a few hours.  It didn't effect my house, but it did effect my work place and almost all the traffic lights in my immediate area.  Very surreal.   I think over 200 000 houses were effected by it, so it was a pretty major power cut.  It also happened to be on the hottest day so far of the month [I think] and the weather hit around 40 celcius [sorry don't know the farenhiet conversion for you guys].

That and I have no air conditioning in my car, and I was on the road for work most of the day meant lots of fun!

 :hot:

Just cold here now, but we're expecting a possible snow flurries/freezing rain/sleet mix this weekend. The kind of panic generating stuff for this area. Who knows if we'll really get it or how much, but I will take precautions.

40 degrees C is 104 Fahrenheit according to some conversion sites I checked, I hated doing those conversions in chemistry classes, why didn't they teach us the quicker method some of those sites listed. I knew that anything over about 30 Celsius was on the warm side just from rough guesstimates.

You have my sympathies, dean. What kind of work do you do?

Hey Yaddo42, around here if a weather man mentions the word snow all the store shelves get emptied because people think they're going to get stuck at home. One station even rate winter precipitation with a Bread-o-Meter.

Looks now like the bad stuff has been bumped from Sunday until Thursday when it will be in the teens at night. Makes snow more likely than ice, that's better for us. Ice/ sleet gets more people killed around here. Although I'll still have to listen to one certain co-worker who gets deathly afraid at the slightest hint of even a few flakes.

trekgeezer, I know the type, we have some who put out the stock up/don't stock up word to people on the air around here. When I was younger we had one who consistly predicted at least an inch more than the other weathermen no matter what the actual conditions were like. I became convinced he was getting kickbacks from the grocery chains in the area or at least the bread, milk, and egg suppliers. He never met a chance of flurries he could turn into "one to two inches overnight" and "icy and slick bridges and overpasses". He rarely acknowledge when he would miss a prediction which was often.

I work in audio/visual for a speaker company, but that time I was checking a plasma/surround set up for a customer of ours.  I drove about 70kms that day, and usually use the company car, but since it was late in the day, I took mine so that I could go home instead of swinging by the shop first and have them wait for me to get back.

You guys really should convert to the rest of the world.  Uneducated slobs...  :teddyr:

As for the weather, we've just had a complete reversal again.  Rain for the last few days [a welcome sight indeed].  The flipside is that it's not in any of the catchment areas [or at least not as much as it could be] so the water reserves aren't topped up.  But at least it's given the firefighters a bit of a rest.

Of course, there's the massive flash floods that have been around because of the sudden deluge...  From crippling fires, to flash floods...

ARMAGEDDON COMES!!!

Well, no, that's just the way the weather is down here: unpredictable. It's been that way all my life.

Right now...we're getting hammered with up to 5 inches of snow in Cedar Rapids, Iowa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cedar_Rapids).

I love snow.  It's been a part of my life since I was a boy and couldn't imagine a winter without it.
I think it's funny when people think 50 degrees Farenheit is cold.
Try going out when the wind chill is -25.
So cold...the snot inside your nose freezes.
So cold, it hurts to inhale because the air is that cold.

The only thing that sucks about sub-zero temperatures is that you have to warm your car up.

dean, we tried to convert, it just never took. Even "The New Math" is a forgotten punchline. Best thing we got out of the attempt to convert to the metric system was a really funny series of Saturday Night Live sketches in the 1970s about the pending conversion. The Metric Alphabet (several letters dropped or merged and everything from about S or T turned into a staticy sounding jumble), the Metric Day (switching to a 100 hour day by hooking everyone on speed), and there may have been some more.

50 degrees F is about perfect outside weather for me. Cool but not cold weather.

Just cold rain going on here now, with a strong wind to make it feel worse than it is.

       Hate to make everybody sick but today it is about 75 degrees here, no wind, no clouds, yet. I could actually go out and lay in the beautious sun and get a tan....... :smile:
