Title: WEATHERMAN SAID 55 TODAY.
Post by: R Schroeder on April 14, 2013, 07:49:09 AM
Last year it was in the 70's.
It took forever for the snow to melt down around here, and then we had a week of rain. 4 to 5 inches of it. More to come next week.
This morning I woke up to this.........ha
So much for global warming.
This kills my day of working on the car. I keep it in the garage down back.

Hey Roy. I don't get to see it much anymore, but I'm pretty sure that's some of that snow stuff people talk about all the time. Pretty sure that's not rain.  ;D

Well, it went from snow to 60 the last two days.
Got a little done on the car after buying a new roll a round jack. Didn't trust the one I had for the last 40 years anymore.
Wife has me doing yard work today.

I feel your pain Roy, we're also getting hit by the same cold front. Usually 50s-60s by now but this year just 30s and 40s. Slow my restoration project down ...  :-[

Hey Roy, the box arrived.  Dang postal service must've dropped it in someone's pool.  The box was just soaking wet and empty!!  I just don't understand.   ;D

Actually, we're supposed to be getting the tail end of that thing tomorrow.  Our lows will be back in the mid-40's.  I'll have to move the orchids back inside for yet another day.   While it does make it pleasant out in the shop, it does prevent us from getting into the pool a few more days.  >:(

Very different spring compared to last year.
All we are getting is a lot of rain now. Another 2 to 3 inches tonight.
Roy

Sorry it melted.

In my next life I want to come back as a weather man...50% prediction rate and you're considered an expert. In what other occupation can you have a 50% failure rate and still keep your job?

Maybe the weather man meant 55 centimeters?  Of snow.   My driveway this morning.

I have run the snow blower more the last 3 weeks than the whole rest of the season.  Strange.   I'm hearing bad things for the folks in the Red River Valley area (Fargo & Grand Forks ND).   I don't know how much they got from this last round but just a normal melt usually causes borderline flooding.  All this extra on top of the normal melt cant be helping. 

Has any of this crap hit the folks out east that got hit real bad earlier in the season?

Wow, a drive-in theater!!!  You just don't see those in my neck of the woods anymore.

There's a weather forum I peruse where most of the members are in southern Louisiana. They commented about how they finally got their ice event for the year. They just had to wait for mid-April to get it.  :o
