Severe winds and hail are in tonight's forecast for my area.
And to top it off we felt that Canadian earthquake earlier. Mother Nature's being a total bitch today.

I've never heard anything like that before in my life.
Residents of Chicago, the Aliens have finally come. Please, one suitcase only per passenger.
I've never heard a siren like that before! It's almost like the people who designed it were sitting around saying, "Hmm...how can we make a severe storm even more scary?!"
aftermath...
wow. apparently, my phone camera doesn not pick up yellow, cause in the first two of these, the sky behind the clouds is BRIGHT YELLOW. lightning still flying through them. rad.
then, the most massive rainbow i have ever seen, had to take it in two parts, it stretched from the middle of lake michigan to the other side of the buildings.....
one more. cool skies and some crazy steam pouring off the top of the sears tower.
may have to ask the cute photographer neighbor chick for some of her shots....

Ask.
I love pics like these.
Thanks for sharing.
Oh, and I'm glad your building didn't blow away.
i took some pics like those the other day...probably the same storm front
Those pics are bad ass.
And glad you are all still there.
We felt that shit here in Michigan after it passed through Chicago.
Have had a few crazy storms over the last week.
you can hear me step out into the hallway during that siren....
one, cause i was on the phone and two cause it scared the shit outta me :crazy:
shit was serial outside.
It rained a tiny bit here today, kinda annoying a bit of my left shoulder got damp.
And it was almost unbearably hot... Well, 75 degrees, I could never live in the south.
Oh, and that's one damn annoying siren.
Just listened to that siren...
Is that for real?
It sounds like a siren from a 60's psych/sci-fi show.

thats one crazy fucking siren. i love it.
theres a tornado siren somewhere within a block north of where i work, i've heard it 3 times so far this year, its loud as fuck. whats crazy is that we cant hear it in the kitchen because its just generally so loud in there anyway. if the back door is open we can hear it.
nothin but hot in colorado... 93 today, 93 tomorrow, 90 the next day... and usually here in town it gets several degrees hotter than the prediction. i dont mind it though, its nothing like east coast heat.

Holy Crap that is a cool siren. Glad it's not outside my window though.
Just had some crazy fuckin' tstorms go through along with reported Tornadoes all around my area here in Maine. Twisters are not normal at all here. We seem to be in the clear now and still have our power!
So here comes Hurricane Earl up the coast. Anyone else a little concerned?
Folks here are getting pretty worried even though it's going to stay off the coast. It'll likely cause the usual flooding, strong winds, and loss for power for me for a few days....but hopefully nothing more.
While I don't wish storm fury
on anyone, Earl
brings rumors of cool my way.
Would be nice to get some rain in VA. We need it.

I've been telling GAH that a 75mph Hurricane I don't get so worried about, because I've seen a few, and although they do damage, its not really catastrophic. But a Hurricane that was packing 145mph winds just a few hours ago is like 12 hours away and will only miss us and Carolina by a little bit conerns me and the rest of the East Coast a little bit.
The wispy clouds are here, but nothing else yet. "Breeze" should pick up this evening.

Things look at lot better overall, but right now its just starting to lightly drizzle. Probably around 5-7am? I gotta roll into work at around 5am and our CEO is tentatively scheduling things as "normal."
We'll see in the AM. I have such a short drive no big deal for me. It will more than likely just be a strong Nor'easter type of storm. But you never know. Hatteras is starting to get it now with winds around 50mph sustained.
Oh and Pink Floyd just came on the Weather Channel forecast. Go Weather Channel.
so this was a bust, at least for me in Virginia Beach. GAH usually gets some flooding. Not dangerous flooding just high waters.
Here's to 5am arrival and nothing major going on. At least I'll be getting home at like noon.

I personally insured that we wouldn't get any major storm damage.
Instead of running this AM before work, I moved all the outdoor furniture, grill, etc into the basement and garage.
Had I left it out, all hell would have broken loose.
You can thank me later.

naw, just a lot of wind and rain. lost power for a bit but other than that unscathed. saw some killer lightning on the ride home from work
Remember last week's crazy storms in the upper Midwest and NE? This is the same storm that brought the weather blatboom & McGrupp were talking about above.
Lowest recorded pressure ever seen inside the US. It was as low as a category 3 hurricane. Storms like this are called Extratropical Cyclones....

A bit of snow mixed in with the rain here last night.
Time to pull the plows out of storage.
Already have my board waxed and tuned.
indian summer ends today in denver, october and the beginning of november have been awesome
Its been snowing all day and it was like 55 yesterday. The weather guys said it was supposed to stop over 3 hours ago.
This crazy weather is bringing some incredible surf to the Maritimes today and tomorrow. Plan on heading out tomorrow morning to make the most of it. Can't wait.

What kind of water temp do you have there now? We are at 45-55 depgrees. The Bay is a little cooler than the ocean.
Around 35 - 40 F this time of year. I usually stop from Christmas to March.
viva la nina! indian summer lasted ALL of FALL!
its really been amazing here in denver, we've had a couple days in the 60's each week through mid-december. have seen maybe an inch of snow here in the city while the mountains have just been getting pounded with snow from the northwest.
so i guess youre wondering whats so "crazy" about it, but if youre from the mid-atlantic where it tends to hover at 35-45 and rain 4 days a week from thanksgiving to march, the awesome weather in colorado is really crazy to you!
Tomorrow, I'm driving from Calgary (our Rockies) to Montreal driving back our team van. 51 hour drive across our prairies while they are getting pounded with snow and wind. Pictures to follow.
Crazy flooding in St. Stephen here in New Brunswick. It borders with Calais, ME.
This will be crazy if it freezes like this. And the forecast is for more rain, storm surge and 90 km/h winds.
Here's a few pics.

Holy shit.
Thankfully, that's a couple of hrs from where I live but it is pretty serious for those in that community. I usually pass through the St. Stephen border every time I go to the US.
I figured you were somewhat ok if you were posting to the paug. :-D
That is really lousy. Pardon the understatement.
Holy shit, that's terrible. :-o

A similar(but not nearly as bad as that looks) thing happened to the downtown area of my hometown. It'll take some time, but those businesses will recover. That's what insurance is for.
From what I understand, this is an act of God and is not covered under most insurance policies. Sewer backup, yes, storm surge, good luck. We'll see what the province decides to do for the residents.
We have well over a foot of snow and it is still coming down for a few more hours. I got a text at noon today that my offices are closed tomorrow.

A foot is way more manageable than two.
if you're not traveling until tomorrow afternoon, shouldn't be much of a problem. They'll have the roads clear by then.

meh, local news is now saying 20-25" total...
wtf knows! we will see!
At 7-8" in Southern CT, expecting another 10 or so to come overnight. Tomorrow seems like a great day to play hookie and go snowboarding.
Bring it!!!! :rawk:
so why did the major stations cancel their regular programming for "storm tracker updates"?
They need 3 hours to say "there is a shitload of snow in the region"
:roll:
I agree--there's no excuse for that level of alarm over some snow in these parts. Send us a hurricane, sure.
Thunder-snow in Worcester last night...pretty crazy. A first for this southern boy!
were you driving through the blizzard?
I say the more it snows the better phish will play.
It makes no sense, but I just said it so there's no taking it back.
LET IT SNOW!

I left Richmond VA on xmas night around 7pm, got up close to CT by 230 and found a hotel. Made it to worcester before the nasty stuff started (around 3 or so). Pretty good timing!

No shit. We over nighted it X-mas and got into Worcester around 6:00am before anything...got a room at a sold out hotel and are set! :rawk:
Our snowfall here was the 3rd largest in history!!
This is not my picture, but is pretty sweet.
Yesterday we had this 20 minute Thunderstorm roll through at about 4:15pm that was absolutely NUTSO! Lots of down trees and still no power. It took me over 40 minutes to get home and I live 3 miles from my office.
Below is the image of the tree keeping my power out. I took this photo this morning at 8am. As of 10 minutes ago it looked the same.
Fortunately I was able to borrow a generator from work to get the fridge running so we can save our food and obviously keep my beer cold too.
BTW, its hot as FUCK today.

Considering the impending Hurricane coming through the east coast this week, I figured this thread could use a bump. I expect this to be a rather interesting weekend of events from NC to ME.

Absolutely! Sorry. I'm a pigheaded american and all I ever think about is the US. j/k
I can assume you are getting ready for some surf though!
As if on the American comment, just jerking your chain and yes I plan on getting out this weekend for sure.

Agreed, but things here are getting pretty SER! low lying areas of Norfolk and several spots in VB evacuated already. GAH lives in a low lying area and his office is also in one...so he's leaving. Gas is starting to run out at Gas stations. No idea what the grocery stores look like.
I think the media has a weird position. They almost need to scare people in a situation like this for our safety.
btw, Hurricane clouds are creepy as fuck. The clouds spin the opposite direction from our normal weather patterns. They are just weird to look at. Right now, sunny, breezy and spinny clouds.
Supposed to be a pretty wild one here.
I agree this one is serious business, but it's like they can barely contain their enthusiasm for this to be the Storm of the Century :rawk:

The media makes me sick when it comes to this kinda stuff. CNN has been all hurricane all the time for the past 3 days. Remember in 2008 when Hurricane Ike missed New Orleans? You could see the devastation on their faces.
I hear you, Eb, that there is a fine balance between making people aware of real dangers and creating a panic. Unfortunately, they tend to thrive on creating mass hysteria.

True. My Aunt and Uncle live up in NY and they are freaked. When you talk about shutting down the subway, thats pretty serious. Down here we've been through some before, but I think Katrina really taught people that its better safe than sorry.

I hope this is true. I'd rather go through fire drills all day long. Last year was a great example. But its the fire drills that prep you for the real deal. This feels pretty real. Definitely have a heightened anxiety now having a 5mo old. And he has a cold taboot. F'ing

Actually the current course is to stay along the coast line, which is better because it won't be able to pick up any more power from the water. It's already been downgraded to a Category 1.

i can tell you, i love near albany NY and people are freaking out, every super market is packed and people are terrified. I hate to burst there bubble but where we live in NY it's just gonna be a wet weekend,
I'm leaving tomorrow morning to pick up my kids from their grandparents, where they've been staying all week. Meeting them at the MA/CT border and driving back to NJ.
Now they're going to be evacuating parts of NYC and shutting down bridges. Something tells me I'm going to be stuck in traffic trying to get home before this shit hits.
At least I stocked up on beer and ice for when I get back home.

well, as all good things have to come to an end, this winter in Nebraska has finally arrived with a vengeance this morning.
we've been coasting on over 50 degree temps for weeks and nothing resembling the norm around here.
last night around midnight it started.
woke up at 8 this morning to already 14 inches.
basically dropped about 2 inches per hour overnight and its still going strong.

Anyone been following Hurricane Sandy...?
Here's the latest update... seems like if you're on the east coast you're gonna feel the effects...
Kind of insane. Who knows if this forecast is right, but wtf..
Quote****MODEL RUNS ARE SPLIT ON LANDFALL LOCATION: EURO AND GFDL SHOW A DELMARVA LANDFALL, WHILE THE GGEM AND NOGAPS SHOW A NYC LANDFALL. ALL LANDFALL POSSIBILITIES NOW SHOW A SUB 940MB HYBRID HURRICANE. CRUSHING SNOW FROM WESTERN VA, UP THROUGH WVA, MD, AND PA GETTING 3-4FT OF SNOW. RICHMOND SHOWN TO GET 6-12IN OF SNOW. WEST OF I-95, DEVASTATING BLIZZARD. EAST OF I-95, DEVASTATING MAJOR HURRICANE****
Here's a lot more meteorological mumbo jumbo for those that are weather nerds like me...
QuoteThe threat to the Middle Atlantic Coast continues to increase on the morning and overnight model data even though the operational GFS continues to be a clueless inept weather model. Again let me emphasize that once we reach 84 hours before the event then the GFS models likely show significant shift to the west with its track.The one thing we can see is that most of the models this morning now have SANDY... at the time of landfall.... not reaching nearly the extreme intensity when compared what some these models have been showing over the past few days . It is for more likely that SANDY is going to make landfall on the East Coast somewhere at 955 MB or 960mb as oppsoed to say 945 or 939 MB.
In this first image we can see the current European model at 96 hrs. On the LEFT side is the upper air pattern that 500 MB ( jet stream for you non weather geeks) and the surface map on the right side. The key issue here is that the European model correctly that takes the ocean storm in the central north Atlantic. This in turn force is SANDY closer to the coast so that when it makes its Turner northwestward into the coast it's much closer and it comes in much further south than what the Canadian or what the GFS model is depicting. http://1664596.sites.myregisteredsite.com/meteorology/sandy/f960ZEUMWF.gif
This next image is the same sort of thing we can see the GFS model also valid at 96 hours... And on the left hand side we see the jet stream map and on the right hand side the surface map. And again the GFS model does not show the western side of the ocean Low. The GFS model it a big ocean low in the central north Atlantic weaker and further to the east ... And this in turn allows SANDY to swing further out into the Atlantic further east of Cape Hatteras. This means that when SANDY makes its turn to the NW becomes and over Cape Cod in SE Massachusetts. http://1664596.sites.myregisteredsite.com/meteorology/sandy/f960ZEUMWF.gif
This next image shows a enlarged view of the European model from a wonderful folks at storm vista and here we can see the European surface track every 6 hours. The model has SANDY making landfall in the Delmarva somewhere near ocean city Maryland then turning even further to the west and northwest cutting across Eastern Maryland and pat tracking over DC or just north of DC in Central Maryland!!! http://1664596.sites.myregisteredsite.com/meteorology/sandy/4PANEL.png
If you look at the bottom right map-- the one that says 126 hours--- the atmosphere clearly says that it's going to be snowing like hell over large portions of West Virginia and into portions of southwest Virginia at the high elevations above 1000 feet. Yesterday this heavy snow area was further to the north and reached Western Maryland and southwestern Pennsylvania. So there is some variability here as to which areas are going to see the heavy snow.
This next image shows the navy model which over the last seven years has not had a very good reputation. However as I stated yesterday this model received a major upgrade almost two years ago and is done significantly better. This is an upgraded physics package which the Canadian and the GFS model does not have but the European does. Here will we can see the navy model clearly taking SANDY into the Delmarva and then across into Maryland in a track will mostly get the call to that of the European model from early this morning. http://1664596.sites.myregisteredsite.com/meteorology/sandy/00znogaps850mbTSLPp12108.gif
I think is significant that the European and the navy model with a better physics package both show the same solution but the GFS and CMC which do not have this upgraded physics package... are much much further to the east.
This is the European ENSEMBLE mean model. And this is also a major shift to the west when compared to what this particular model was depicting Wednesday afternoon and early Wednesday morning.http://1664596.sites.myregisteredsite.com/meteorology/sandy/00zecmwfens850mbTSLPUS120.gif
Even though the European model over the past few runs have shown SANDY hitting Eastern MD or Southern NJ the European ensemble show a land fall further up the coast over NYC or CT or Long island. So this shift to the west matching the regular European model is significant.
Here we have the GFDL hurricane model in high resolution... And it's clearly shows a identical track to the navy model and the European model of a land fall coming in from the southeast smashing into the lower Maryland Eastern shore with a direct impact and driving towards Central Maryland
http://1664596.sites.myregisteredsite.com/meteorology/sandy/ghm-nested_sandy_sandy18l_096_mslp_35wnd.gif
And finally here we have the latest hurricane models from 6Z run. And while there is a wide range of possible tracks from the various hurricane models... what is significant here is that every single hurricane model except for one now show a sharp turn to the northwest with the track of SANDY
http://1664596.sites.myregisteredsite.com/meteorology/sandy/aaaaa.jpg
Let me repeat that. Not a single one of the new hurricane models show sandy going out to sea without making an impact on land. WELCOME TO 5 DAYS AGO. But in addition there is a cluster of tracks showing a land fall in the Delmarva which again identical to the tracks shown by the 0z European model the 0z navy model and the 0z GFDL.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? The threat to the Middle Atlantic Coast is increasing. The media coverage should begin to really ramp up here today as the hurricane models are now shifted all towards the coast. This remains a unusual event not only because it's late October but because SANDY m is going to turn sharply to northwest then west northwest as it strikes the coast. I think .. but I do not know for sure yet-- think it's going to strike on the Delmarva but there still a lot of variability here and it's possible that SANDY could make landfall in New Jersey or even New York City or Long Island. Assuming that it does make landfall in the Delmarva --- the lower Maryland Eastern shore and Delaware peninsula for those of you who are geographically deprived -- that area can expect conditions at least as bad as what you saw with Isabel in 2003 and probably worse. Areas such as Ocean City Maryland Cape May New Jersey wallops island Virginia could take a devastating hit. The approach of the coast from the southwest of the northeast will drive a wall of water into the entire Delmarva region as well as Southern New Jersey and Hampton roads.... and to a lesser degree over northeastern North Carolina Northern New Jersey and New York City Long Island. The full Moon on the 29th is going to make things particularly bad and damaging along the coast with the storm tide. Winds could cost up to 90 mph in many locations
This also is a serious threat for the northern neck of Virginia as well as the wash DC Baltimore metro area and all of eastern Virginia including Hampton roads and Richmond. In all of these areas winds could reach up to 75 miles per hour in gusts during the height of the storm which will be fairly prolonged. The rainfall amounts will be at least 5 to 10 inches and these areas.
Significant rain and wind will push into all of Virginia and the interior portions of northeastern North Carolina as well as all of Maryland New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
The snowstorm potential here remains high especially in the elevation above 800 or 1000 feet. It is still too early to know which portion of the interior Middle Atlantic mountain areas are going to see the heavy snow but somebody is gonna get really crushed with an early season snowfall.
If the European navy and GFDL track are correct there will be snow showers throughout much of Central Virginia including the Richmond area on October 30-31.
Snow? It was in the mid-70s here yesterday.
what the fucking fuck. I got shit to do
I don't know if I can believe the snow thing.

Snow? I believe it. After the driest summer I can remember with 80+ days of no rain, it has been raining non stop for two weeks. Mountain passes very near by are getting their share of snow as we are kissing freezing temperatures at night in some areas close to sea level. It feels like we went straight from Indian summer to winter :shakehead:

Snow? It was in the mid-70s here yesterday.
Its still those temps now. No snow here, but we never get it.
I do think this storm is just gonna bring crappy rain and wind. We will see.
Hey George, PM me the link to the site that you got that info from, I'd like to keep tabs on their thoughts over the next few days. If it comes in over NYC or in Jersey like they are talking about here and the rotation of the storm hits here full bore, we're f*cked.
We're all F'd! Storm of the Century! :crazy:

It means that the Superstorm is now, officially, a thing.
I hope it snows stupid amounts on DC and we here, in the Fred, just rock the rain.
That way I can have a snow day without any of the snow.
5 AM forecast from the NHC shows it heading straight up the Chesapeake as a Cat 1 or close to it. Not good.
Most models show it striking land somewhere between there and NYC. Still not good.
Time will tell.

It's actually kinda getting to be a scary reality that the GFS models are shifting more towards what the Euro model predicted this whole time (A more southern and western landfall). Virginia could be F'd. 60-80 mph sustained winds = destruction

Glad to hear you guys are ok Aug, sorry about your mom and we'll definitely send vibes your way for your bro. Hope all will be ok.
Glad you guys stayed safe. Here hoping that things aren't too bad for your ma and bro.
We basically just had a bad rainstorm down here. Still raining but the worst in VA was definitely elsewhere.
My folks lost power last night and are freezing and might be heading to my brother's to warm up. They come to my house but I haven't bothered to turn the heat on.
That's what sweaters are for.
Seems like everyone I know made it out ok... One of my mom's old friends from Jersey had a tree fall through their roof into their master bedroom... that sucks... but everyone is safe and such.
I was supposed to fly to Boston this morning. The flight did not end up being cancelled, but I decided not to go. The wife is happy with my decision. The boss seems ambivalent, so I win!

Don't worry. He keeps em safe in his upstairs icebox.
Damn Aug! Sorry to see that. I am glad you guys are OK. I have never been through a scenario as drastic as that. I can only imagine how helpless of a feeling in a lot of ways.
I am sure your bro is OK, but here's to hoping he gets in touch soon!
So... half a million people in NYC are without power.
And the MTA's Flickr is kind of addictive.

Shit is real fucked up.
Still 700,000 without power or heat on LI.
Over at my mother-in-law's place so we can shower up and warm up for a bit.
Getting gas is insane. Plenty of fights and a few stabbing a at the stations that do have gas.
I waited 2 hours after being tipped off this AM to fill one of my work trucks.
It's bananas, but most people have it much worse right now.
glad you got someone with some power, slim pickings for people with power. and damn, be safe filling up.

State police are at all the gas stations along the I-95/Route 1 corridor in my town.
Heard from Big J and he's OK.
Still no power or heat, just a cold, dark home.
It's really insane the amount if damage that was done and the rebuilding that will have to take place.
So many people are just cutting their loses and moving off of LI right now.
Their salvageable possessions fit into a U-Haul and they are just leaving their shells-of-a-home behind.
FEMA and all sorts of military units have been stationed in the southern parts of LI.
K-9 units are still out searching for bodies and rescues are still being made.
Most people have been in their attics waiting for rescue...
Not sure what picture sets are out there, but search for towns like Lindenhurst, Massapequa, Wantagh, Long Beach and Seaford.
Be well, duders.

sorry to hear you are still dealing w/ the impacts. I checked out the photo links, saw a dude's drum set on the side of the street, not cool. thinking of you and your family, be well Aug.
Power is back on at home.
It's been a challenging week.
One last pic...
This is what most FIRST floors looked like on the south coast of LI.
Be well.
Insane devastation, I feel for you guys up north. PMA
man - I just can't imagine.
Best of luck dealing with this.
Katrina of the North.
Glad your lights are back on, Aug. and Glad to hear your bro is ok.
Hang tight.
Good news about your bro Aug. Sorry to hear about all the devastation, hope you didn't lose too much.
My trip next weekend will be interesting. Didn't expect NY and NJ would be dealing with this type of tragedy while we vacation there. I've got mixed feelings about it at the moment.

Like, they were washed away and completely flooded out if found.

Holy shit.
its crazy the amount of sand that was deposited because of the surge. sure we've seen blizzards and snow galore however Sandy was also like a giant sand storm in what she left behind up and down the coast. I'm sure we'll see a inversion over time where property vales will increase the further away your are from the ocean or rivers/bodies of water in general.
I can see that.
My route is mostly on the southern coast where there are tons of high value homes.
Most people have left, especially those that completely rebuilt after last year's Irene.
It's crazy seeing million dollar homes completely gutted and looted.
It's even crazier seeing complete streets in that shape.
Some people are staying and have started the process of rebuilding.
It's a weird mix of energy going on right now.
those pictures are so fucking scary / sad - heartbreaking

it's funny - I wouldn't live on the water for free. Some people can't get close enough
I have a friend whose house is on one of the "sand cliffs" in Plymouth. A few years ago, the cliff eroded several feet one night, his house toppled a little (they were fine) and the house was condemned. He bought the property right behind his house and moved in. He complains because he is too far from the ocean. In a few years, he won't be.

this one looks about the spot where i lived right off to the left.
Forget what hurricane it was... 99 or 00... i t freaked me out when the western part of the long beach island was under water from the ocean to the bay (or whatever its called). the thought of basically being under the Atlantic Ocean freaked me a bit.
GOOD LUCK AUG. i know you gonna make it work bro.

In light of all that happened in OK (and those folks have my condolences), I feel extremely lucky to only have a few massively sized branches broken off of the trees in my backyard (so massive that they will require professional help to get rid of). Hell, I even have power on my side of the street, no power for those on the other side of the street. Over there an uprooted tree has taken down some power lines.
Death toll in OK has been revised down to 24 from earlier reports of 51. Per CBS news, the ME's office says the previous number was based on conflicting and duplicate reports amassed in the chaos in the immediate aftermath.
Expectations are that this number will rise today as the search continues.

Everything is destroyed here.. Its worse when you see it in person.
Few co-workers lost their homes, pets, cars, etc. I'm taking the afternoon off work tomorrow to go volunteer and help those affected. The volunteer/donations have been incredible. The redcross and salvation army had to start turning people away on the first day that were trying to help due to the scheer number of people trying to lend a helping hand. The have officially announced that the manhunt is over and everybody has been accounted for, whether its alive or not at least the families can be at ease. The part of this storm that is not being reported on a national level is the amount of small communities affected in the path outside of the OKC metro, this is where the local help is being targeted towards now. Thanks for all the thoughts and vibes people, greatly appreciated.
Nice work Zimbra and serious vibes to everyone affected by this.

take away the media and they'd be worthless. by talking about them, we are only helping them get attention.

Young Harris (90 miles or so NW of Atlanta). My Dad and Stepmother moved there from New Hampshire in January.
Yeah, I know there. Nice man, today is gorgeous out. My lady and I hit the Decatur Arts Festival. Pretty cool. Enjoy the nice GA weather this weekend
OKC update:
The amount of support is tear jerking here. There is a huge church on the border of Moore/Norman that is serving as the hub for all donations and distributions. (JourneyChurch.tv) A buddy at my office's wife is one of the pastors at this church and got us hooked up with some hands on work at the church the past two days. The turn out has been awesome, really moving stuff happening. I showed up after lunch and left when they shut their doors a little after 6, non-stop cars pulling up either as families in need or people from all over the country dropping off donations. We had organizations coming and picking up u-hauls full of supplies to go distribute on the front lines as well. When I say people from all over the country, I mean it. One particularly cool thing I remember is this older couple (70s) walking around in full LSU gear from their shoes to their hats giving out jambalaya to all the volunteers they had made and driven up from LA. Restaurants set up tents, grills, and coolers outside the church like a tailgate and cooked food for everybody all day no questions asked, for free. I didn't take any pictures except for one today in this huge circus tent (and by huge I mean massive) we set up in one of the parking lots because we ran out of storage space in the church. Now the circus tent is full of supplies ranging from tampons to beans. FEMA is donating an hourly rate for every hour done at the church by volunteers, so everybody has to sign in and out to properly invoice FEMA. There is so many volunteers coming and going they have set up huge booths with around 50 people just checking people in due to the high volume. I mean yesterday I drug my new room-mate up and today I drug my neighbor and his girlfriend up there with me, but so is everybody else. Really gives you a hope for humanity when you see people coming together like this. Seriously moving stuff.
I know this is a seriously jumbled up post and I apologize but I'll try to take more picture as the week goes on. This picture doesn't do it justice. If anybody wants to help out just let me know and I'll find a way to enable that. Thanks for all the support and positive vibes out there, greatly appreciated !
Yeah, at Braums (another "Oklahoma thing"), I saw two diesel trucks pulling HUGE trailers that said 'Emergency Response' on the sides, and they were from somewhere in southern Florida.
Awesome.

Yeah it started to hail right when I got to the office.
Were about 5 min from BWI and they issued a code red at 4 o clock for our area, so we had to go into the basement and stay away from windows. Just got back to my desk. Two tornadoes touched down around 405 they said, one near Olney and the other in Laurel said it was 50 mph heading east. :-o gonna make a run for it to get home before something else comes through.

Be safe!
i was psyched to get derecho'd yesterday, as they hyped it all day.
barely drizzl'd.
I managed to dodge it all.
This morning I was in the office long before the first wave.
Just some heavy rain for a few minutes.
Split DC before the afternoon storms hit. I was on a train racing out of town as it came in.
Tornado warnings here at home passed without significant event and just a light rain when I got off the train.
Oh well.
My sister got hit a couple of days ago in Edmonton with tornado warnings.
They were bunkered down in their basement for an hr or so.
It's a rarity to have twisters out there.
I think I lived in NC last time a tornado came from MD, and that was like 3-4 years ago.
Rare that we got 3 touched down so far this summer.

I've been sleeping with them open since Spring.
I think 'Lope has been using his AC...
We only just put the window units in a couple weeks ago and I still have only slept with mine on in my bedroom a couple times. It's just about time to put the big one in downstairs.

If it were only up to me, The AC would've only been used a few times so far this year. Clearly, it's not up to me. :-)

got about 2 inches of snow. just went out and the roads are pretty much all clear. seems like it stopped and the sun is about to break out.
sunday was a lot worse.
driveways are great and all till you have to shovel them, pretty sure i forget that every year.
Past 9am, and it's -13 degrees. Looks like that foot of snow we got Saturday night will be sticking around for a while.
Hm... Negative thirteen degrees and twelve inches. Go.
When I walked my dogs this morning it was -15, not including wind chill. We got over a foot of snow this past weekend and now we are getting another 6-8 inches today into tomorrow. Good times.
Yeah it's up to 0 in the central VT/NH valley now, and just started snowing. Weather center says we won't get much, but I'm reserving judgement.
We got 35+ cm on Sunday and another 25+ coming tomorrow.
I say if it's gonna be cold, we might as well have some snow for the slopes.
Bring it on.
Damn right.

There's nothing like the sound of every electronic appliance and device turning on all at once after a power outage. Such a relief.
Another storm coming through today. Up to another foot of snow and we have wind chill warnings through tomorrow. Right now, with wind chill, it's -25.
Shit blows.
Yesterday I was walking around outside in a t-shirt and was fine.
Woke up this morning to a good six inches of snow. Man I wish I had taken the trash to the curb before bed.
Fuck this Shit.
Snowing right now and it's -34.

I had a friend who worked at a photolab and they had an acronym for those - AFS.
Another Fucking Sunrise.
We just got another 8 to 10" last night, hasn't seemed to let up in weeks. Every other day is another dump of the white stuff.
Snow still coming down here too but I couldn't care less. What sucks is that with the wind chill, it's -32 right now.
Yeah, we got about 6-7 inches which is pretty solid here. Cleaning off our cars this morning at 6 AM really sucked!
I don't have any snow to bitch about (actually, it's a welcome novelty around here) but I am totally over this ridiculously cold weather. Several patches of ice on the road this morning. The only good thing is that the wind blew so hard last night it must have dried up all the moisture that would have otherwise formed a thick layer of ice and frost over everything as it has done many mornings this fall/winter.
We got about a foot from Wednesday evening through yesterday. Currently about -4F, and forecast for double-digit negatives tonight.
My ex texted me first thing this morning: "-7 shoveling the driveway" (We shoveled out of a 50-yard driveway after a 3-4 foot snowfall in February of 2007, in single-digit negative temps and 30 mph winds. My back still hurts.)
Yeah, so 20 degree this morning, going to be 61 Sunday afternoon, and then back to 15 by Monday night. That's how people get sick! Stupid weather.
Temperature in the single digits, snow in the double digits here
Getting really cold up here
New crystals of snow....
-7 out there right now. We've got a foot of snow on the ground and another couple of hours of snowfall coming up after which the temps will be dropping. -19 is the coldest I've seen predicted for tonight/tomorrow.
On the plus side both mine and my wife's places of employ have closed today.
Just a hair too far south for snow & whatnot.
Yesterday and overnight the temps rose so that it's 48 here now. It's gonna drop throughout the day into the night into the teens.
Days where it's warmer at 5am than noon are weird for me.
We hit 70 on Saturday. It's 23 right now.

We are in the 40's here. Zero visibility as the fog eats away our snowpack.
Temps are going to plummet this afternoon.
Weather in the teens here in Oklahoma. Hope everyone is staying warm in the NE!!
I'm getting emails about area schools closing tomorrow.
It's not even precipitating around here!
they cancelled work/school today and tomorrow. because what else do you need after 2 weeks off but 2 more days. not happy about trading days that have wind chills approaching -40 for 2 days in june, but i have no choice.

Yeah, not quite that warm or cloudy here. Rain stopped a couple hours ago, it's clearing now. What was a foot and a half of good base is going to be 2 inches of frozen solid/granular by morning.

i totally believe that.
the stereo i have in my garage isn't working. my storm doors barely close because the hinges are frozen. my car sounded like it wanted to kill me when i tried to start it. even the snow is frozen. this is nuts.
My phone tells me the wind chill in Chicago is -35.
Fuck that.
Nothing quite like that here but they've closed the schools as if I can take another day off.
Its fucking nuts. Pumped gas and scrapes the car earlier, probably about 3-5 minutes total outside. Despite the gloves, I thought my hands were going to fall off. Serious pain. Thought I maybe did some damage but they are ok now.
My buddy just told me that Wisconsin is going to be colder than Mars tonight. I'm not too sure about the accuracy of that statement but it sounds crazy/fucked up.

snowed about 5-6 inches over the weekend.....
0 degrees when I got in the car this morning, think it got up to 25.
uhhh -35??? pretty sure the earth is telling you northern midwesterners to relocate.
Friday & Saturday it barely got above zero. Today was 45 and rainy. Tomorrow we'll be lucky to see a double digit high for the day. Fucking New England, no wonder I'm sick.
-14 right now, -35 with windchill.
Damn my reliable work ethic. I really want to call in today, but I just can't get myself to call in 'because it's cold outside'.
On the plus side, I have heat, power, cable and Internet. The neighbors on my left have their phone/cable line down in their yard and the entire street to the right of me is out of power. We're in the sweet spot where we lost nothing. Yesterday the neighbor directly to my right came over with his wife and two kids to warm up and have some hot coffee. They had a sheriff come pick them up in a truck and transport them to a family members house.
Wind Chill here is -3.
At work it's -6.
I commute via public transport and by foot in DC so I chickened out to stay home and watch the kids. Working from home sounds pretty appealing with those numbers. I couldn't figure out what I'd wear to maintain myself in the 15 minute walk from the Metro to my office.
So fuck it. I'm home.
My wife just told me I'm not allowed to drive to work today. So that's nice, but I still feel like I should be working. I can justify it by telling myself that's she just got another raise and since the library is closed today due to weather she is getting paid for not even being there.
I got no answer at work when I tried to call in so I called my manager on his cell. He said his car won't even start today so he called our owner to tell him that we wern't going to open today. He then instructed me to "go smoke a bowl and stay warm". It's nice to have a cool boss.
i tried this last night, and it worked. a cup of hot water instantly turned into snow when it hit the air...

High 60s today, Snowpocalypse Deep South Edition starting tomorrow. They've already closed my office, which is nice.
This lady I work with, her daughter (probably would) goes to college in Charleston and they had not only cancelled classes for the next two days but kicked kids out of the dorms. Come on, people.

It's pretty bad down in Alabama - here's a FB post from a friend of a friend in B'ham...
QuotePeople in Birmingham need our prayers. Here is what I just got home from: Linda & I tried to go down there in my 4 wheel drive truck to get our daughter and their 3 kids. She had a minor wreck this morning and they closed the day care. She could not get there due to her wreck. She called me at about 12:00 and didn't know what to do. Linda & I got gassed up, warm clothes, etc and took off. We got to Warrior and could not get any further on the interstate. We tried Hwy 31 and got about 2 miles. I could have made it all the way in my truck IF I could have gotten around all the cars. NO. WAY. Lots of phone calls between us and Sarah and her husband (Bruce) who is out of the country right now. She FINALLY got back to her car (with an AAA person) and jumped it off at 4:45. She was 4 miles from the daycare where her kids are. At 6:15 she still was not there but was making progress. The daycare was having beds brought in. Many are staying the night there. Birmingham is a mess. I don't know what those people on the interstate are going to do. Highways are closed. Stopped and filled up with gas at Warrior and all they had was premium. I hope every business will make a warm place available. If you know someone out there, remind them that sitting in your car with the heat going and not moving can create a carbon monoxide poisoning hazard. Lots of distress will occur on this night. Serious dangers. Prayers are certainly needed. By the way, we have a contact at the church/daycare that is ready to go get Sarah if necessary so we are confident she and the children are safe. But that whole city needs our prayers tonight.

1.2 inches in the last 24hrs? somebody save them!!! :crazy:
I've seen this happen too, in Chapel Hill. Nobody has snow tires, nobody knows how to drive in snow, and everyone gets on the road as soon as it starts snowing. It's a genuine public safety catastrophe.

More snow last night. Not a lot (1-2") and it's fluffy powder. The sledding hill was probably pretty excellent first thing this morning.
But the fucking schools are closed.
Again.
Kids didn't go last week at all, Monday was a teacher workday, they went yesterday and now we're closed today.
City needs another plow. Or a leaf blower.
I'm at work, though, because the next 'snow day' I take will not have kids in the house.

Problem is that it's statistically unlikely that they'll need that truck again for years.
The problem here in my town is that they don't really know how to use them effectively.

See, you gotta figure--if there was enough regular snow down there that you could make steady money removing it, it would have been done way before now. The way to profit from a situation like you have down south this week is straight up piracy--chains on your truck, some lengths of iron pipe and a couple hard boys with nothing to lose.

yeah denver is suppose to get snow all week :frustrated:
hope there is enough to at least cancel work 1 day this week
-12 on the forecast, was -5 when I got in the car this morning
took about an hour and 45 min to go 20 miles to get to work. so many accidents.
got about 4 inches of snow and ice.
yeah nasty plains weather here today.
super windy and dry with about 8inches from last night.
prob about -30 with the wind chill.
We've got a little less than foot here so far today. A Nor'easter is predicted for Sunday too. Need a place to put all the snow
Went to bed.....no snow, dry ground......
Wake up today.....12+ inches of heavy, wet snow....
More expected today.....and more expected again Sunday....damn Nor'Easters......
hate wet snow, we didn't get that much (only about 6 or so) but man do I hate shoveling a few hundred lbs of snowcone. just to leave the house.

If it makes you feel better, my snowblower is clogging with this wet heavy snow, so I've gotta go out and shovel another 50 feet of driveway now that I've eaten dinner and put the kids to bed. This will cause me to miss my weekly jaunt to :wtu: 's place for band practice. :cry:
10 degrees, -6 with the windchill... Glad I'm flying out friday for a few days break from this.

Austin schools were delayed two hours today due to "threat of ice." It was 36 degrees with zero-point-zero precipitation. WTF?
:hereitisyousentimentalbastard
Even if temp drops and it rains, the ground isn't frozen, right? Zero chance of icing. WTF, indeed.
Freezing rain this AM and an icy layer already forming over everything. No office for me today. ("Working from home" though.)
Bad news is the roads are impassable and so I'm stuck at the house. Here's hoping the power and cable hold out.
6-10 inches tomorrow? Why did we come home?!!?!?!?!? :frustrated:

Posted this on FB, but for those of you who didn't see it.
-20 windchill that day (yesterday), expecting another 4-8" over the next 36 hours.
Temps in the 60s yesterday.
Today the whole region is shut down with up to a 8 inches expected here.
It's mostly falling sideways.

Yeah, I actually just had to deal with that. Water was seeping in where the water main enters the house. Long story, but Luckily it was a relatively easy fix for $250 instead of thousands towards a total foundation repair.
So it's been raining like crazy here today. Be thankful you aren't traveling from BWI this week.....
As of right now, according to the Baltimore Sun, this is the fifth rainiest day in the area ever.
Oh man, that would suck to come home to after a long trip! FACK!!
man if I came off a plane and walked to my car in that mini pound id flip.
yeah heard lots of flooding going on back in MD.

Do they even get out of bed before they make these decisions?
Went in to work for 8 only to be sent home at 9.
I would be pissed if my commute was more than 10 mins.
Just finished a first pass of my driveway. Drifts over 3 feet, with a 4 foot bank at the end courtesy of the plows. We still are due to get another 8-12 inches today. Still have power, though. Stay safe everyone. Even you, birdman.
Lame. Everything's shut down--schools closed pre-emptively, etc.--I wake up to maybe 2 or 3 inches and it already stopped falling. Vermonters need to stop watching the goddamn Weather Channel.
no work today :rockout:
went out to clear the vents to my furnace and HW heater. Drifts were just below waist high
stay safe BM (and everyone else).

Fuck. This. Shit.
Been out for 20 hours and already had to replace two tires and a plow cutting edge, readjusted a clutch, have added 5 gallons of oil to a leaky system, been through 6 gallons of coolant and 40 gallons of hydraulic fluid. I'm singlehandedly responsible for poisoning the entire local ecosystem with all my fluids spilling onto the ground. And there is still another 24 hours left to this storm.
I hate snow
Damn! That's insane.
Snow? Keep it up there!
65 at the beach yesterday, had a nice walk on the va beach boardwalk. :mrgreen:
and we haven't really had any weather to melt any of it in between storms.

Ill have to bust out the little grill I got for the porch. Been grillin inside on the foreman recently
we tested out one of these that my friend is going to start selling around CO. This isnt the exact model but its like this and theres a stainless steel cook top that goes over top the fire that you can cook on like hasbrowns, eggs, steaks, bacon, etc.
Worked well. Pretty sure they are really pricey

I can tell you that his route looked great this morning.

ANOTHER couple of inches of snow this afternoon and then ANOTHER 12"-18" this weekend w/ blizzard conditions. Sick of this shit.
it's going to get above freezing for an hour 1 day next week. there is now hope.

On my drive home yesterday, they actually interviewed an owner of snow removal service in Boston on the radio here in Denver.
I think it was called like Ippolido or something?
He was just talking about logistics for the snow removal price for small lots and that they have a ton of people out there all the time even with threat of snow.
Yeah I know some guys here who are getting $300 a load to haul away snow. Many of my friends have been working basically around the clock since Super Bowl Sunday. It is an absolute goldmine here if you own big dump trucks and excavation equipment.
Yeah he said to clear a small lot and truck away the 10-15 loads of snow, runs people 2000-4000 bucks. :-o
Something about wife/mother/sister getting $300 a load

You can take all of it Maine. Massachusetts is not accepting any more snow.
I wish
where do those guys with the dump trucks put the snow?
I thought that you can't put it in the ocean
Most of the people I know just move the snow to somewhere with plenty of space. A few dump at local golf courses and gravel pits.
They bring it to snow farms. I'm not kidding.
Large bodies of open water if nearby, right? But I assume fuel cost is the limiting factor on disposal.
We got 2 inches in about five minutes earlier tonight, then it stopped on a dime and the temp dropped at least 20 degrees.

They stopped dumping in bodies of water years ago. The scraped up snow contains all sorts of contaminants, solids and liquids. However the DEP had allowed some towns to start dumping in rivers just this week. Thing is when the snow melts it all ends up in the watershed anyway.

Yeah, I wondered about that, the loss of filtering effect by dumping straight to a potential water source.

We're in the 24+ area.
Good times, so sick of this damn Winter, I need to get the hell out of this part of the world.
My dad lives in BC and the bastard was aerating his lawn this week.
It was March, maybe early April before I was talking that^ way last year.

I spent 45 minutes on the phone thursday night trying to find some roof melt. It's almost like a precious metal at this point
I feel for you all . I had a pipe burst In my unfinished basement yesterday morning. Luckily I was home and caught it reasonably quickly with minimal damage done.
I'm prepping for another day in the truck. At least this storm is gone by tomorrow.
Ugh, what a pain in the ass pcr (and everyone else).
Hope it gets cleaned up fast with minimal damage to the wallet.

fortunately you were home (and the basement is unfinished)
pcr3 - forgot to mention - I don't know where you are in the Boston area but the roofers who came to our place did a good job removing snow from the roof at a reasonable price. He replaced our entire roof about 10 years ago and we need him to come back every now and then for things like ice dams. I can give you his contact info if you need it.

it's funny cause it's true. Here if the temp even drops below freezing they shut everything down! you know, cause the roads could possibly be icy.
My father gave me a snow blower last winter. He upgrade his and had this one rebuilt. Naturally I've not had occasion to use it... Looks like my chance will finally be here tomorrow. Got it gassed up and purring this afternoon...

yeah., im still pulling to break the record for any month, but we're about 3-4 inches short and it'd take a gully washer to hit that by the end of the week.
really, it never rains here as much as i prefer, so its been a nice change for once.
i miss the east coast where the humidity in spring and summer always breaks with a late afternoon shower.
here it just builds up and never breaks except sometimes over night.

A friend of mine lives across the river about 0.75 miles from my house. I took this picture of his back yard Sunday:
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-PJuXhOjT2RE/VhRm2PfQxHI/AAAAAAAADok/IqO7locHkoQ/s640-Ic42/carl-flood.jpg)
The river is at least 15 feet higher than normal here (and rising at the time; may still be as tributaries continue to feed it). There's normally a five-foot fence that'd run across the middle of the frame that's still a good bit above the usual riverbank. Luckily their house is about 60 vertical feet further up the slope.
Crazy scenes here in town the last couple days.
That's nuts. I was wondering if you'd been affected by the floods. Hope you and yours are safe.
Thanks. The topography and elevation are kind to us in my hood. Many others, not so much.
Hurricane Patricia, about to make landfall on Mexico's Pacific coast, is a monster. With 200 mph winds, it is nearly the maximum theoretical strength for a hurricane.

Patricia, Strongest Hurricane in History, Nears Mexico Landfall
Over the past day or so, a phenomenal episode of strengthening has pushed Hurricane Patricia into the record books. Now, as the strongest hurricane ever measured—with 200 mph sustained winds—Patricia is just hours from making landfall in Mexico.
The National Hurricane Center, with official forecasting responsibility for the Atlantic and eastern Pacific, all but ran out of words to describe the storm's ferocity, labeling it "potentially catastrophic" and "incredible." On Twitter, professional weather watchers went a step further, marveling at the storm's record-breaking ability and fearing for Mexico's coastal cities. Such a scenario—a quickly strengthening storm of unprecedented strength headed straight for land—is the stuff of meteorologists' nightmares.
As of Friday morning, Patricia was a strong Category 5 hurricane—after strengthening from just tropical storm strength a day earlier. Still, calling Patricia a Category 5 underestimates just how ferocious this storm is.
Patricia is headed for a landfall between Manzanillo and Puerto Vallarta on Mexico's southwest coast on Friday. The storm threatens to be the strongest ever to hit Mexico's Pacific coast, surpassing a 1959 hurricane that also ranks as the deadliest in that part of the Pacific. As it moves inland, Patricia is expected to produce up to two feet of rain in Mexico's coastal mountain range, creating a risk of flooding and mudslides over a vast area including Guadalajara, the country's second-largest city.
As of Friday morning, Mexico is scrambling to prepare for Patricia. Three states—Jalisco, Colima, and Nayarit—have declared states of emergency. In Colima, officials handed out sandbags. Nearly 400,000 people are in the storm's path.
Patricia has now surpassed 1997's Hurricane Linda, which stayed safely off Mexico's west coast, as the strongest known storm in the eastern Pacific, and 2005's Hurricane Wilma, as the strongest known storm in the Western Hemisphere. It may have also surpassed 2013's Typhoon Haiyan, which devastated the Philippines, as the strongest known storm in world history. It's difficult to compare tropical cyclones in the western Pacific, called typhoons, and eastern Pacific hurricanes if only because routine aircraft measurements don't exist in the western Pacific. Unlike Patricia, Haiyan was never directly measured by an aircraft, so we don't know its true intensity.
Over the past 30 hours, Patricia's central pressure has fallen by 114 millibars, from 994 to 880—possibly beating the world's record for fastest intensification. Since lower air pressure drives faster wind speeds, such a fast intensification has greatly increased the storm's strength—Patricia strengthened by 100 mph in 24 hours, the most in the era of complete data coverage by weather satellites. This historic data was collected by a hurricane hunter aircraft flying through the center of Patricia, which departed the storm as it was still strengthening. Shortly after the research plane left, satellite estimates of Patricia's intensity broke the Dvorak scale, peaking at 8.3 on the 8.0 scale.
In fact, Patricia is now very close to the theoretical maximum strength for a tropical cyclone on planet Earth.
If there is any good news, it's that Patricia's incredibly strong winds are concentrated into a narrow region near its core. The latest National Hurricane Center advisory shows Patricia's peak winds are confined to a span of just 15 miles across the center, which should help limit its impact at the time of landfall. Still, that's little consolation for those in the storm's direct path.
Patricia's rapid intensification is linked to the current strong El Niño in the Pacific, which, along with global warming, has helped produce record-warm ocean temperatures in the region near where it formed.
My heart breaks to think what they may be in store for.
That is necking futs, prayers and vibes for everyone down there.
Yeah I've got a friend who's worked under me the past 2 seasons at summer camp who's from tropical southern Mexico, haven't heard back from him...
Just asking... Where is the Phish show slated to be, relative to this?
Mexico is about to get f'd in the a.

This is on Pacific coast, Phish is in the Gulf. Hurricane season in the Gulf ends in Nov-Dec, but I'm probably gonna take a look at travel insurance now.
Reports so far are some damage but no casualties. Sounds like they may have dodged a bullet, thank Icculus.
We're getting inundated with rain today. It's crazy. Just ask this guy:

All we have right now is rapidly falling and blowing snow.
My friends and parents are reporting about 22-24 inches in Baltimore and still coming down. Schools are cancelled through Wednesday already

Officially the biggest snow storm in BWI History. 29+ inches.
I'm about 30 minutes south, so we always get less, but it wasn't by much this time.

Put in an hour with the snowblower yesterday, two hours today, clearing out the sidewalk (corner lot) and down the block in each direction.
Everything is closed tomorrow so it's time to start drinking hard.

storm slammed Denver with very little notice from any meteorologists
Just randomly found this Instagram user, samlovrien (https://www.instagram.com/samlovrien/), who's a storm chaser and photographer based in Iowa who takes some pretty rad pictures like this:

So there's this thing... ripping through cuba right now... headed towards me.
I've never been in a hurricane before, I have no idea what to expect besides wind and rain. We're supposed to get slammed pretty hard. It's not supposed to hit land though.
Does anyone have suggestions?

Baton down the hatches and hang in there. If they say to evacuate believe them and do it. Otherwise just hang in there and expect power to be out for a few days, limbs down all over, and property damage to not be your problem since you're a renter anyway.
You're in Florida, right? Find a Pollo Tropical near you. They don't need power to open and sell chicken they cook on their gas grills. They are famous for being the only thing open after a storm down there.
Glow sticks are always good to have around the house for the sake of power outages. Also, try to have some books and/or magazines handy so you can kill time with them, as opposed to wasting your battery on the phone/tablet.

Just saw that one of those places opened up here in town. Their advertisements posted up on the windows looks like their hottest selling meal consists of plain white rice, black beans, and grilled chicken. I like all those things, but it just cracks me up how simple that meal is. I'll have to try to remember that place when I've been drinking at Barton Springs Saloon

In extended power-outage and/or flooding events, tap water may become temporarily tainted by contaminents. Where a boil order may go into effect, this can be difficult if your stove is electric and the power is out..
Other persons may rely on well water which is hard to pump without electricity to drive the well.
Thus, having clean water on hand is useful.

So, my parents left their Savannah home this morning to head to the Mississippi Gulf Coast for a family reunion... and just as their flight was leaving evacuation orders came in for their area. They live on the intracoastal waterway... basically, the side of the island that faces away from the Atlantic... in Savannah, GA.
Fingers crossed they don't get too much damage in this one! The Georgia coast has not taken a direct hit from a hurricane since the late 1800's.
All my Charleston friends had to evacuate three or four days ago. Vibes to everyone on the east coast affected by the storm.
interesting the storm will loop back into Florida:
https://www.wunderground.com/hurricane/atlantic/2016/Tropical-Storm-Matthew?map=ensmodel
Dang that's crazy.
From the category storm map it looks like it will be heavy rains and light gusts, nothing like the first hit. I gues it could gain some speed coming back towards the coast though......

Thankfully, the water in the mid-Atlantic is not as warm as the Caribbean and Gulf so it should lose some energy with time.

The potential for re-strengthening is there but even if it's a 1 or a TS, so soon after a Cat4 hit, anything will be bad news for recovery efforts.

Well it's official, my roommate and I are gonna ride it out. We got food etc and are ready. He's got a full tank of gas in his truck if shit goes down.
I'm officially scared... This shit seems like it's gonna get pretty intense. :crazy: :crazy:
like, fuel for the truck, or like, "wahwahwahwahwahwahwahwahwahwah" gas? You're sober these days, right?
Fuel for the truck haha. Yes I'm sober, and if I die in this I'm gonna die sober. That thought isn't really crossing my mind right now I'm more worried about safety
Stay safe man. and remember the water might not look to deep but could be rushing so be careful about driving through it.
Only Hurricane I ever got hit with was Sandy and I don't think it was even bad when it hit upstate NY
Yeah we're thinking about evacuating. I gotta talk to some more locals to get a feel for it, I also happen to be mother fucking broke right now.
By the time shit gets sideways and you think, damn, we shoulda spit, it may be too late to split.
Be careful.
We ended up evacuating to my roommate's grandpa's ranch in southwest Georgia. We're busy shooting guns and mudding...WEEW!
But honestly I'm glad we left. I didn't want to risk it. My area was theoretically safe, but who knows with hurricanes.
Got this email from my mom today. Haven't been able to actually talk with them yet. Hopefully tomorrow.
All good news, though!

We spent last night in Atlanta and came back to Savannah on the first flight this morning!!! As we were driving in, a neighbor called to say that the power had just come back on!!! Only about 10% of the island has power now so we were very lucky!
There are no stop lights working any where in Savannah so every intersection is a four way stop!!! Made an interesting drivie home!
Once on the island, the storm damage is VERY evident. Huge trees down everywhere!! They have cut a single car path through the down trees so were able to get home. The really good news is that the Publix grocery store on the island has a huge generator --- and they're open!!!! So we immediately threw out everything in the fridge and freezer!! And we had food for lunch!
We were VERY lucky. All windows are fine!!! And the only real tree problem on our property is a huge pine tree that's at a 45 degree angle. Luckily it's resting on a liveoak --- or it would have been in the kitchen!!! Since it is NOT into our house like our neighbors, I suspect it will be weeks before they come to remove it.
We obviously took no water --- just lots of rain --- but the water never got into the yard!!!! Yea! The marsh looks a little wind blown!!
We are feeling very lucky!!!! And our happy to be back.
Kathie
glad they made it through

Just got the voicemail from the superintendent of schools in my daughter's district, announcing a SECOND CONSECUTIVE SNOW DAY for all of Addison County Northwest. (It's a Lake Champlain-adjacent district of maybe 5 small towns between Burlington & Middlebury, VT.)
This winter we've had three distinct cycles of storm->thaw->freeze which turned snowbanks into berms and walls of solid ice. Last week we had nightly lows over 35, lost almost all our remaining snow cover, leaving plate ice in shaded areas and not much else.
Now those delicate flowers working in my kid's school system need A SECOND GODDAMN DAY?!?!?! THIS IS VERMONT AND THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING.
eta: If anyone needs me, I'll be walking to my hometown pub, b/c they're fucking open and should damn well be rewarded for it.
Up to 35 in of rain from Harvey?!? That is bananas. Somebody check my math but I think that equates to like 400 ft of snow.
Don't think we have anybody down there (Austin looking ok, right PG?) but if so, stay safe, dudes.

I think 38 ft of snow is more like it. But yeah, stay safe to anyone in or traveling to or around the region. Looks like it'll be intense.
I'm far more worried about Houston than Austin. With the models they're showing right now that storm is going to stall and just pummel Houston and the rest of the coast from tonight straight through next thursday. Major sections of Houston will flood, there is no question. There is a small chance the storm heads north and we get 15+ inches here, but I doubt it. We'll see the outer bands hit us for a few days and get about 6" of rain. There will be some flash floods, but we're used to that. The cool thing about Austin floods is that they last about an hour before they just drain away... provided the rain stops.
Me, I'm leaving town anyway. We were supposed to leave tomorrow morning but we switched our flight to tonight just to make sure we get out of here. Spending the night in Dallas and catching the rest of our flights as they were scheduled out of DFW in the morning. With any luck, we will be in Martha's Vineyard for the duration of this weather event.

That's what I've been thinking about through all this. The Katrina kids, and the psychological trauma that they've experienced, and now are having to repeat. Pretty tough break. :-(
The NWS had to update the colors on that map to correspond to the amount of rain that has fallen. Vibes to all affected.

Luckily this year I live on the second story (and rent) so I don't have flood waters to worry about. I also have a reliable car, so if I need to I can just get the fuck out. The owners of my shop have already given me the go ahead to take the car if I need. Also taking empty 5 Gallon jugs from our water cooler to fill up. I think I will be fine either way.
I'm just low key terrified, this stuff is still so foreign to me coming from Ohio, where our only natural disasters are blizzards, which are really just inconveniences.

Just spoke with my parents. They are busy packing up all those awkward teenage pictures of me so they can evacuate in the morning. There is a mandatory evacuation order for Savannah that includes everyone east of I-95 - which is in-fucking-sane. That's pretty much everyone up the East Coast of Georgia and Florida.
They have friends in Augusta with a guest room open for them. Should be a 3-hour drive. I'd be surprised if they get there in less than 10 hours tomorrow... and that's with contraflow opening on every major road away from the coast... contra should open at 8am tomorrow and stay that way.

Fake news. That image isn't real.
My parents are a little south of Sarasota, viewing distance to the intercoastal waterway but somehow in flood zone B, which just went to voluntary evac. So now they're trying to put together plans on what to do. Scary situation for all of Florida right now.

I have no idea if that is flood level rain or a light drizzle.
Light drizzle?
What the hell, I live in Canada, we should be getting snow in January.
And yes, that would be measured with a US ruler.
They don't have rain in Canada.

Our little mini-spring (36 hours of temps in the low-to-mid 50s) is coming to an abrupt end tomorrow. It will be 50 in the early hours of the morning, and then by early evening it will have dropped all the way down to 12! Along with the obviously high winds you'd expect from such a radical change in temperature, they're calling for an epic segue of rain > freezing rain > snow. Fuck January.

It will be 50 in the early hours of the morning, and then by early evening it will have dropped all the way down to 12! Along with the obviously high winds you'd expect from such a radical change in temperature, they're calling for an epic segue of rain > freezing rain > snow. Fuck January.
I hate when the weather plays that trifecta. the transitions are usually pretty smooth, but that jam in the middle particularly sucks. I'll take a help slip franklins over that any day.

Knew we shouldn't have let them put than canal next to the house.
We got 2 feet of snow today in < 18 hours. I decided in the fall to not buy a snowblower for the new house and experience one winter here to gauge the need. I chose unwisely. :frustrated:

Sorry to see this scene up your way, Budd. Hope you and yours are high and dry enough.

Doesn't seem to be. Only 85 in the taproom now though, so that's not too bad.
Gonna be 109 back where I am!
Good Lord - stay out of that office - and don't even think about brewing today.
Ha, no brewing today fortunately. And that boiler's staying on standby.
I'll probably excuse myself to do "keg inventory" 5 or 6 or 10 or 12 times today.

From what I gather the tech was out on Saturday and had it running, and it crapped out again sometime Sunday. They had one of those swamp coolers that you screw a garden hose into running, apparently. I imagine it sucked a little!

Monday night they cancelled school for the rest of the week down here! :hereitisyousentimentalbastard
But, we did have a mandatory evacuation for Zone A (my area) folks by Tuesday 8am, so I guess they wanted those that were leaving to not be penalized I guess.

We had unseasonable cold in VT over the holiday. Lost power on Thanksgiving for about an hour right after dark, just as I was starting to plate the food. Luckily my old man had a stash of shabbos candles on hand... but somehow they started getting distributed around the house, burning, on fucking pieces of cardboard. Gonna have to talk to my folks about basic safety. I'm one more incident from suggesting that we need to pay someone to be there with them when I'm not.[/tj]

Yeah, that's def eye-opening.
Been super cold here too lately.
Denver got two snows already
The mtns have been getting slammed. Couple slopes opened early.
I drove back from Vegas with a friend and got to Eagle, CO like 20-30 miles west of Vail and it was white out conditions. They closed the Vail pass around 1030 and we didn't make it time slept at my friends spot in Vail village for the night. Woke up it was still pounding. They got like 6-8 inches between those two days wish I could have stayed to hit the slopes.
I don't remember the last time we got solid snow like this by mid Nov.
The hills should be open by first week of December.
yikes
we've had a ton of rain here (my least favorite weather is 40 deg and rainy) but nothing like what you guys have had to deal with.

We had the opposite extreme, it was close to 60 degrees here in NE Ohio.
yeah it was snowing and single digits here on NYE and 1/1. Out east with the wind chills it said it felt like -10. Still got some snow/ice on the ground but should be getting up to 50-55 this weekend here.

My parents said almost a foot of snow has dropped in the past day in Cleveland.
Yeah. We, too, got slammed last night. Not quite as much as Cleveland, but we still got about 8". A layer of freezing rain in the middle of it made for hellish driveway shoveling. We now have an overnight windchill advisory for temps as low as -20.
So it snowed for a good 24 hours+ here in the upper Connecticut River valley, VT/NH central border region. Easily two feet in the hills, probably three for the ski areas, a solid 20+ inches even down at the river...
Stopped falling around 5 or 6 tonight and the temp dropped FAST, which is fine--I'd rather have dry powder to drive in than wet slop or ice.
CRAZY thing though? The wind gusts up on my hill are blowing enough snow to trigger the motion-activated lights in the driveway. It's like a less annoying version of an over-sensitive smoke detector.
No snow but it's fucking cold as shit for Virginia these yesterday and today.
We've got moisture coming in but the temps will soar to the 50s along with just to keep the schools open.
its been snow and cold here for weeks now.

Dumping snow when I woke up, got about an inch. When I went out for lunch it was sunny and 50. Still got a little snow on the ground
Every damn storm we've gotten the last 2 Winters have been a bunch of snow and finish with rain, then cold for 5 days.
Very discouraging for a family of skiers.

Well, my parents left Savannah this morning. They are under mandatory evacuation. Headed for Augusta, GA - inland and north of danger. Their house is on the water - but facing west on the back of an island. Still, there could be a storm surge that royally fucks their shit up. Hoping for the best at this point.

Yeah, very scary. Good luck.
We got hit pretty hard with Dorian, nothing compared to the devastation of Bahamas but tons of trees down, boats/marinas destroyed and evacuations from storm surges.
My biggest complaint was my plants being blown over before harvest :crazy:
My folks house was 100% unscathed. Savannah really dodged the bullet.
^^ excellent! glad to hear it! how did north charleston fare?
yes!

I've got a trip booked to Quebec the first weekend in Dec for an 'early' start to the season.
I just received my Epic Pass last week. Good at 5 New England resorts. Also just booked a trip out to Tahoe in early March. I'm ready for the snow to fly.
We've been open one day so far and it's been dry since then. But we've gotten a couple feet this year so far and it's stayed cold. Can't wait. Unfortunately, they don't do any snow making here so we have to wait for Mother Nature to get the base going. But if October is any indication, should be a good year.
Shoeveling 32 inches of snow sucks. We got that much since 1 pm yesterday, with another 4-6 expected today. Lake effect drifts are closer to 4 feet deep!
68 degrees today in NE Ohio! It's kinda hard to celebrate, considering what's causing this and how Australia is currently burning. But still. Almost 70 degrees in January. Yay?
Under a tornado watch here for the next 5 hours. Meh

2nd highest 1 day total for Lincoln

Austin is frozen over. We?ve lost at 4 more major limbs in our yard today. One entire tree is gonna have to come down. Oh.. and we?ve been without power for six hours at this point. Doubt it will be back on by morning. This house is not made for winter. It is fucking cold with no heat.
And we are headed for even colder weather. There has never been a stretch of more than 24 hours below freezing as long as I?ve lived here. I?m seriously worried about just how many of our homeless population will parish.
Also... lol:

There were two separate 20+ car pile-ups on the same stretch of road in austin today. Up in Dallas there was a 130+ car pile up today.
yeah that 130 car pileup was nasty. i heard 4 deaths.
weather is hell in neb this year.
negative highs this week and were pilling up multiple snow storms back to back.
Still no power. Getting down near 40 inside my house. Fun.
Yeah we are starting to get a little of the ice storm here in north Missip...4-8inches of snow/sleet by Monday.
Back in 94 we were without power for 4 days because of ice. Thankfully my mom has a big fireplace at her house, and we bought a few generators after Katrina.
Hope they get you fixed up soon Rational Dave.
Woke up to 0 degrees and snowing.
tomorrow & Sunday snow with -12 low. About to fire up some brisket noodle soup tonight.

Got at least six inches of snow last night. Before this year I?ve never seen snow that stuck around for more than about six hours. It?s definitely the first time there?s not some grass still visible in the yard. It?s nuts.

That was the plan here only austin energy fucked up and took too much offline at 2am last night. Now they can?t bring any of the areas they cut back online. So that plan of 30 minutes off then rotate to another area broke down. Now 40% of austin has been without power since 2am. It will be zero tonight and none of these people will get power until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. It?s really bad.
We were without for 31 hours last week when it was 32 degrees and our house was unbearably cold. I can?t imagine what it will be when it?s zero outside. Thankfully, we have power in our house. Knock wood, it hasn?t gone out since Friday here. Fingers crossed!!!

I was the only one in my office to come in today. I should have taken a snow day. My drive in was atrocious! The city hasn't done a thing to the roads, so there was close to a foot of snow still on our main roads. On my way in I was going 10mph and a fucking cop made a left turn 5 feet in front of me (no sirens, just a regular turn)! I had to slam on my breaks to not hit them and that caused my car to do a 720
o spin. That fucking cop didn't even stop to see if I was okay after what they had caused. I have a bad case of 'FUCK DA POLICE' today.

That?s nuts. We?re about to hit over 100 consecutive hours below freezing in austin. That hasn?t happened since 1949. The record is 145 hours. With any luck we won?t break that.
Still about 40% of austin has no power. 4 million in Texas have none. They are actually afraid of a total ercot blackout. If that happens all of Texas will have no power, the system will have be rebuilt, and we could be without power for months.
How?s that
kill all regulations strategy going, folks? Remember when we thought it was funny when 45 put former tx governor rick perry at the top of the Dept of energy? Not so funny now, eh?

This was the map I saw this morning, but the predictions change frequently.

ETA: I'm sure as shit not complaining, and I'm sure we'll get ours later. Stay safe and indoors y'all.
Hope you Portland folks have air conditioning...
So... heat lightning's never really been a thing growing up Vermont, but tonight I've seen shit worthy of my memories of high summer in the midWest, only the light's reflected off the hills & clouds, instead of filling half the sky & hitting the horizon -- it's something.
We've been in a smoke cloud for a week or maybe even longer. Worst air quality in the world for two days in a row apparently. Can't be outside for more than a couple hours without your throat burning and trouble breathing.

My dad has been saying something similar in the Okanagan Valley, BC.
Well, we got 11 inches of snow here mid-way between DC & Richmond,VA. You may have seen news about I-95 being shut down and people spending 20+ hours stuck in their cars? That's here. We're lucky. Power is on, the only tree damage we suffered fell in the neighbor's yard. My friend had some big limbs from his massive magnolia tree come down and one punctured his roof. Bright-side, it was over the kitchen and not the records. Lots of other friends are without power. Friends on aa farm nearby are. They're heating with the wood burning stove and melting snow to flush. So that's not great.

Yeah, prayers for those folks on I-95. A 40-50 mile stretch closed for 20 hours? I can't even imagine.
That's what we're getting Friday so we extended our cabin stay at the ski hill for another couple nights. I'm guessing that sort of storm shuts down a city in your neck of the woods RJ. Happy to hear you weren't stranded on the interstate.
damn, glad you're safe RJ. Friend's dad got stuck in that overnight traffic jam on 95, that honestly sounds like one of Dante's levels of hell. Hope everything gets cleared up soon.
Between the 5" of snow Denver got on 1/1 and the covid cancellations, DEN airport cancelled something like 3000 flights from 1/1-2. I somehow made it home on Saturday night, only an hour delayed. We are super lucky the snow came in since it was so dry and windy before; it spread some fires along the flatirons and burned up ~1000 homes :'(
We are suppose to get 3-5" of snow tonight during the Nuggets game so that will be fun to walk out to.
If only you guys had some tanks and shit.
That's how we get rid of the snow.

Wow. I guess it was just a matter of time before she became another cosmetic-surgery casualty. Those Fox News viewers really hate when the female of the species shows signs of maturity.
So my neighbour warned it would be a snowy winter from seeing that the wasps nests were up extra high in the Fall and a ton of berries were left on the trees. I guess he was right.
We have gotten 60 inches in January with another 16" on route this Friday. Best ski season I can remember. :beerbang:

I love how nature gives us signs of what's to come in the winter. High wasps nests, early/late bird migrations, and so on.

interesting signs. Weve been getting about 1-2 inches a week for 2-3 weeks. now 6-10 inches tomorrow night :o
We've had an exceptionally cold, icy winter in VT. Not atypical enough to really be "crazy", but only one good snowstorm that brought about a foot, several ice storms, and at least a dozen mornings of negative Fahrenheit temps. Shit winter weather, for sure.

That's what I said!
I knew that RJ, I just really like watching Kevin doing it.
It went from 5o on Sunday to 60o outside right now (I have the fuggin' windows open! The cats are loving it.), and now a 'Winter Storm Warning' for the next three days where we are expected to get around a foot of snow.
Climate change isn't real. ::)
This video needs the America Fuck Yeah! song as its soundtrack...

QuoteThe driver of the red pickup truck seen in a widely circulated video flipping over on Highway 290 during a tornado in Elgin will soon be driving a brand new red Chevy truck.
Bruce Lowrie Chevrolet in Fort Worth announced Thursday that they are giving 16-year-old Riley Leon a 2022 red Chevrolet Silverado to replace the one that was damaged in the tornado.
Leon told NBC 5 on Wednesday that he was on his way home from Whataburger where he had gone for a job interview when he was caught in the middle of the tornado.
The driver of a red pickup truck seen in a widely-circulated video flipping over on Highway 290 during a tornado in Elgin says the twister hit "out of nowhere" and adds he's "blessed to live another day."
"I honestly didn't know what to do, to grab onto the steering wheel or to start praying," the 11th grader said.
The tornado pushed his Silverado on its side, then bounced it back upright, before he appeared to simply drive on.
"On the video, it looks like I drove off but in reality I didn't," he said. "I landed in the center of the road and I was just driving to get off the road."
The sales manager at Bruce Lowrie said they felt bad for the teen who had to go through such a shocking experience, leading them to gift Leon the new truck.
Leon will be in Fort Worth on Saturday to pick up his new ride. It's perfect timing since he starts his new job at Whataburger on Monday.

Woke up to an inch of snow, which is completely crazy!
Apparently Portland weather records only go back to 1940, but there's never been any recording of snow in April here.
1940?

It looks like Hurricane Fiona is tracking right at us. I was excited at first with the prospect of some surf but it sounds like it's going to be an absolute mess of wind and rain.
Batten down the hatches people!!!

Good luck
Stay safe.
Here; it was finally below 85-90 today. Nice brisk 60-65. Pretty much done with the heat til spring.
we went from a record 103 monday to 63 on tuesday.
40 degree drop in high temp in one day
Sustained heat, humidity, and rainless weather in my corner of VT this past summer--not all-time peak figures, but notably sustained highs. Drought probably only officially ended last week or so. It was SO GODDAMN HOT AND SWEATY ALL GODDAMN SUMMER. Understand, none of the old homes here have air conditioning.
The weather is finally, truly, turning the corner and I'm absolutely here for it. Give me storm-rattled windows and a blazing woodstove, please.

Yeah 37 degree difference here in some spots, from Tuesday to Wednesday night, pretty wild. About to go down to buena vista for billy strings festival and it's gonna get down to 45 :)
Checking in for any word from Budd.
The same jet stream dip that has given us beautiful autumn weather fueled that storm on its way into Canadia.
Looks bad up there.
Was thinking about Budd too. U got power, budd?
Hey folks. My fam did pretty well. We were one of 2 streets in our neighbourhood that didn't lose power so we hosted some families for dinner last night. All of the coastal areas are pretty much under water. It will be quite the clean up. My biggest loss was one of my plants was blown over.
Only one death that I'm aware of where a woman's house in Newfoundland was swept into the ocean.
craziness! glad you fared well!

Glad to hear you guys are well and taking care of one another. Godspeed on the cleanup & return to normal.
Horrible news about the fatality. What a frightening way to go.
Thanks for checking in folks, love this place.
Here's a vid of the storm surge in Nfld...
Glad you're safe, Budd. Crazy shit.
Ian approaching CAT 5 status. Winds currently at 155 MPH, CAT 5 is 157. Please keep the people in the Tampa/Sarasota area in your thoughts. We'll be fine here in Orlando. I'm expecting minimal damage, probably power outages from the CAT 1/Tropical storm when it gets here. Honestly more worried about my dumbass neighbors not strapping their shit down or putting it in the garage than I am of the actual storm itself.
Stay safe, 'lope.
Yeah, we have close friends with property on the coast in Naples.
Doesn't look good.
Damn yeah I heard they even closed 21 waffle houses, which if you ever lived in the south, means this storm a big deal.
Stay safe lope!

My mom and stepdad live in Naples. They got lucky. Really lucky. So far, just loss of power.
The scenes from Fort Myers, just 20-30 miles north of them, are horrifying.
I hope your experience is similar to my parents, 'lope.
Nothing like the impact of a hurricane type disaster, but damn is it spooky--we haven't had a real frost yet this fall, and no rain either. Like 6 straight weeks of dry warm sunny weather. In late fall in Vermont, what the actual living fuck. I'm honestly kinda weirded out.

I was just talking about this with friends. It feels so weird to have back to back to back 20+ (70+ F) degree days in November. And the forecast doesn't look like it will let up for the next week +.
Legit has never happened in our lifetime here in Atlantic Canada. It does not bode well for an early start to the ski season.

It is very strange to have all the windows in the house open in November and have it be kinda hot.
It's 75
o in Indy right now.
It was oddly warmish until two days ago and then we just got a half inch of snow last night.
don't know if it's the warm temps or the dry summer we had, but the coloring of the fall leaves were some of the best too. at certain parts of the day it was glowing inside my house from the sun hitting the surrounding trees.

we have an over abundance of acorns b/c of the dry weather apparently. not sure why lol but someone was telling me that. and yeah alot of colors.

OK, so I thought our fall foliage in VT was a little less colorful than normal, but I'm not putting money behind that assessment.
But the weirdly hot fall continued until this afternoon -- last few days were cloudy and humid with highs in the 70s and overnight lows in the 60s. But today's seen the clouds push off behind strong, steady winds, clear skies, and plummeting heat & humidity. 70 degree high today, predicted high of 45 tomorrow, followed by a true killing frost.
All at once.
With a total lunar eclipse on election day tomorrow.
I wish I had more ammo. [j/k I trust my neighbors]
Getting cold... fucking fast!
Same just happened in Indy. We went from 34o to 15o in an hour. Tonight's low is currently predicted to be -11o.
And there was 'snow thunder'!
I don't know if that's what it's really called, but that's sure as shit what it sounded like. The snow/rain came down so fast and hard that with the crazy ass wind it was setting off both our Ring doorbell camera and backyard floodlight camera constantly.
-40 wind chills.
i love this time of year. ::)

Thunder snow is one of my favorites! Tried the enjoy the storm yesterday, but once the temp really dropped my beer kept freezing solid and the butane in my lighter actually froze!
Need a coozie to keep your beer warm?
We reached -37o with the windchill today. That's fuckin' cold!
It's so cold in Chicago tonight, Jussie Smollett might get jumped by some MAGA goons.

Haha I'll be in Chicago next week!
But yeah it was brutal here last couple days. -14 think lowest I saw on the weather app.
Got like 2/3 inches. My moms flight got cancelled here, Baltimore got the storm today. hopefully she makes it tomorrow.
We only got maybe an inch here, but there's ice under it and the wind is killer. Thankfully I only have to go the the grocery store, 3 blocks away, and my mother-in-laws, 2 blocks away, for the next three days. Gonna stay nice and warm inside the rest of the weekend.
Central Vermont's getting the shit kicked out if it, à la 2011's Tropical Storm Irene. The capital city's emergency services are relocated away from their HQ because of the flooding. Some hill towns might be islands by this afternoon.
Eta I'm in the Adirondacks but my old man reports that one of the three roads to our place is washed out. The state highway that connects to that road and one other route up our hill is probably going to wash out in several locations.
Damn, that sucks.
Also, sucks because the wife and I are taking a staycation next week, but in order to not have my company contact me to do any work (as they are know to do when I'm off) I told them I was going to VT. Now I'm going to have to monitor the situation to see if my fib is still viable.

You shut your whore mouth.
Just brutal sunrise.
Sorry to hear.
Hate to hear that, Kelley. I know that storm years ago devastated the state. Hope the impact doesn't turn out that bad.
I'm pretty sure 2023 will go in the books as the wettest Vermont summer on record. Just absolutely drenched. My vegetable garden's a wash. Lawns are swamps. Hayfields aren't getting cut b/c tractors can't maneuver. My old man joked that we should have planted rice.
Shit's nuts, I tell yas.
Today was the 36th consecutive 100+ day in Austin. Previous record was 27 in 2011. Tuesday, August 22nd is the first day on the forecast that May break the streak. That's the last day on the current ten-day forecast.
And I work outside.
At this time I will refrain from pointing out that you live in Texas on purpose and simply commiserate. Sounds terrible. Our weather here blows but not like that.
Last weekend, we had a sudden storm with a microburst. This pic was taken down the block from me. Trees down everywhere. We had no power for a day and a half, which wasn't so bad. Clean up is still going on, and a tropical storm is heading our way.
Jeebus, glad you're ok.
My sister's place got walloped last week--a few big trees came down right near their house. Weird thing though, they're only a half hour away from me and it didn't even rain at my place that day.
So my friend texted me from Ingonish, Cape Breton where we are headed for a ski trip next month and said they've gotten 5 feet of snow in the last 3 days and it's still falling.
