Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 01/01/1502:25 PM
Well then let me be the first to chime in. It was totally freezing yesterday, getting down to 32. The wind is what did it. So cold my grandkids made a snowman just a few miles from their house. That's cold for sunny California. Today very clear, sunny and will get about 58-60. The wind stopped so it's much better.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 01/01/1506:22 PM
Temps have been in 20s. Winter has arrived. I would like to hibernate from Jan 2 to March 16 (don't want to miss St. Paddy's day). At least daylight is getting longer.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 01/02/1512:09 PM
OMG, freezing here. I know it's no big deal to most here, but when I went to the park for my run today, the grass was covered with icy snow. You don't see that a lot in my area. In some areas, it got down into the 20s. In my area, 32. That's cold!!!!

You mean frost or a hard freeze TIS?
They are having a pretty bad ice storm in Texas, I'm trying to get our crew out there as they have been getting hit since the 31st and are expecting more tonight.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 01/03/1504:24 PM
So funny to see ppl here in California dressed like we are getting snow in beanies, gloves, scarves, heavy coat, thick pants when I go on the trail in the morning. It was 43 degrees and I'm wearing work out pants just below knee, tee shirt, and light sweatshirt hair in pony tail. I must be a hot blooded Italian Jersey girl.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 01/03/1504:33 PM
It's a "stay-home-day" today. It's snowing (about 3 inches on the ground now) but is expected to change to sleet/freezing rain later and then ice tonight before it all changes over to plain rain tomorrow. This is the same storm system that brought snow to southern California.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 01/05/1501:16 PM
62 degrees yesterday, torrential rain and wind last night. 5:30 am walked outside to a gorgeous full moon with a rainbow-like, wispy cloud across the moon. 35 degrees and no sign of rain on the ground.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 01/05/1505:55 PM
Boy, what a great change here from just a few days ago. It's 80 degrees and sunny. My kind of weather!!! Just went for a nice long walk. First time in a long time, I didn't wear a jacket.

Lou, you would fit right in here in South Jersey. Yesterday there was an old man in Shop-Rite in shorts and a wind breaker. He must have been hit by lightning.
10 degrees this morning. Not nice. My gas bill will be through the roof.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 01/13/1509:38 PM
Typical winter day here in the High Desert: 1" of snow this morning (at 40 degrees--did you learn in school that water freezes at 32 degrees?), then sun came out and snow was gone by 2 p.m.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 01/16/1509:09 PM
Don't fret about the cold. Daylight is getting longer.
12/21, Winter Solstice (Darkest day of the year) Sunrise, 7:14 am; Sunset, 4:37 pm. Today, Jan. 16, Sunrise, 7:16 am; Sunset, 4:59 pm. 24 more minutes! In case you wanted to know, the ocean water temperature at Atlantic City...a toasty 38 degrees.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 01/19/1510:45 PM
Ole man Winter did a bad thing on PA, NJ and NY yesterday - flash freeze. Light rain came down on cold pavement and created a skating rink. HUndreds of accidents and pile ups resulting in several deaths. Not good.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 01/25/1511:32 AM
Getting ready for an HISTORIC snowstorm in the NYC area. Monday night into Tuesday will bring up to TWO FEET of snow. The City and surrounding areas are now under a Blizzard Watch.

Yea I know we are blessed with the best weather on the planet The winds were blowing pretty badly here the past couple days. It's still pretty windy by me. Enjoy your walk
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 01/25/1510:47 PM
We are flying up to Boston in the morning and either go to Worcester or Providence to gear up and wait for the snow/wind to hit then hit the ground running. Reminds me of '13 when we got 33" in Providence!
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 01/26/1502:05 PM

That is some UNPREDICTABLE weather by you. The day to day temp fluctuates so much. Well at least you won't be weathering any storms in NY so you're good. I bet the night sky is beautiful, less light pollution.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 01/26/1506:33 PM
Winter Storm Juno. Really, a name for these winter storms. Just doesn't have the kick-ass feeling like a hurricane. Anyway, Juno in South Jersey is turning out to be a slow starter. A few flakes today, but temps were in the mid 30's. Just now it is hitting 32, but still just a windy drizzle most of the day. Now it is suppose to snow in the wee hours of the morning and the wind might kick up to 25 mph. So I might wake up to 3-5". Gotta feel sorry for Boston - 75 mph gusts and lots of snow. That will deflate your balls.
All those people who bought milk and bread. Enjoy your toast, sandwiches and milk shakes. I'm sippin' a vodka martini at the moment.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 01/26/1511:55 PM
I talked to my cousin earlier today about noon and they only got about a half inch of snow. How are you east coasters making out over there with the storm?
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 01/27/1503:35 AM
Where's this "blizzard" at?? Two days ago I was supposed to see up to 30" of snow, and so far got maybe 4" -- Guess I shouldn't complain! Or, I just jinxed it......
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 01/27/1508:46 AM
Half of my driveway is still bare. The local newspaper has a new "weather person", who started yesterday. His first column warned of 12-18" possible in Atlantic County. This morning he is apologizing.
Snow should end in South Jersey-Philly by noon with less than 4" accumulation. There is a statewide travel ban, but the TV News showed wet pavement on the AC Expressway. It is windy and what little snow there is, is blowing around.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 01/27/1512:03 PM
Ha ha! That was 24/7 news on cable channels. Still covering it this morning. Unless there's more to come?? I hear roads are open but are schools? Yesterday they said some schools were closed thru Wednesday.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 02/15/1503:27 PM
Well, it's clear and sunny here in NC, but today when I was out, it was 24 degrees, the coldest it's ever been in the 20 years I've been here. Reminded me so much of NY
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 02/20/1506:15 PM
Hey, Polar Vortex, go to hell. Can't wait to see my heating bill. I might need a loan....and I'm in not-so-cold South Jersey. 5 degrees this morning. Even the salt water bays are frozen.

Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 02/20/1511:42 PM
Schools let out here early today and was postponed 2 hours yesterday. Too many out in the country have to sit and wait and/or walk too far and it was 12 which is freaking cold for here.
Looking at an ice storm next week, matter of fact looks like we might be heading towards Dallas Sunday to work a potential storm there

Funny you mention the Pine Barrens, since I live on the edge of the Barrens. In fact we are within the jurisdiction of the Pinelands(barrens). Funny thing, when I saw that episode, I said to myself, "that's not the Pine Barrens, it looks like Harriman Park (in Rockland/Orange county in New York). I spent many days fishing, hiking and wandering around Harriman Park. The ending scene; a fade away scene of Tony driving near a lake. I blurted out - "That's Lake Tiorati!" Having driven through the heart of the Pine Barrens; it's flat and as the name implies, full of pine trees, no maples and oak like the scene in Sopranos. Artistic license.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 02/25/1508:28 PM
35 and raining all damn day here. Has snowed up to 8" already in North Bama. Didn't think we'd get any callouts on this storm but things are looking that way if this keeps up.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 03/04/1509:42 PM
Oli we are getting your crap tonight into tomorrow. It was 78 today and after midnight we could have freezing rain and sleet. Only in the South.
Looks like we are heading out in the morning for either Arkansas or Mississippi since they are supposed to get slammed by the ice. I'd rather get 12" of snow rather than 1/2" of ice like AR/MS is going to get. That crap is flat out nasty. I've always hated ice storms and with the wind chills bottoming out Friday morning we'll be miserable out in that crap!
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 03/15/1503:20 PM
Very nice A-Girl. You're in/around Yorba Linda? Skies have been clear, and no smog. I'm by the Cleveland Nat'l Forest and the mountains are so crisp & clear with maybe a tad of snow. (at a distance (or in a picture) snow is just fine)
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 03/15/1503:29 PM
Beautiful!!! Just a note. Not very many areas (except forest type) in SoCal where you DON'T see palm trees. When we first moved here the Palm Trees and the red tile roofs were two immediately visible things we didn't have in MI.
Edit: Oh and of course the mountains where awesome.

Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 03/20/1508:35 PM
They say we are experiencing "El Niño type" weather these past couple years. Whether that is true or not I have no idea. Hopefully, a beautiful spring and mild summer will be coming your way. You must be so sick and tired of the cold.

Hi A-Girl. I'm doing ok. It's been around 100 as far as I know. Yea, pretty hot. I've heard reports of another El Nino (I think they call it Godzilla) coming to the West Coast. Supposedly would get rid of our drought. That's great, as long as it doesn't get rid of people, homes,etc. If I've learned anything the 37 yrs I've been in CA, it's the weather is always exaggerated. I guess so much sunshine, that weathermen/women are dying for something BIG to report.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 08/15/1503:09 AM
TIS that is so true. Sometimes, another perfect sunny and warm day in the southland gets old. Give us some variety. We don't want El Niño, just some showers once a week to get us out of this terrible drought.
There are signs up all over here telling us to limit water use. I have never seen so many brown lawns since I have been living here. How about over near you?

True A-Girl. The park I go to every morning for my run recently put up a sign on grass saying "Recycled water in the morning. Bodily contact prohibited." Makes me wonder, what about people who bring dogs for a walk. What does that mean? Anyway, first time I've seen that.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 09/03/1505:25 PM
It's suppose to be in mid 80s today but it's only about 65 (10:30 a.m.) and overcast. I even have a sweater on. Almost looks like rain. Hmmm Maybe it'll heat up.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 09/03/1505:57 PM
I haven't read or heard about any rattlesnake warnings here. You can never be too careful especially when up in the hills. I can't believe people try to take a selfie with a rattlesnake ever see that
Something new and interesting... My son said that since the field grass is dying out they are not allowed to play soccer or run on it during recess. It's pretty much off limits. What a shame! The kids can only play on the black top or on the playground.

I go to the nearby park for a run every morning. They recently put a sign up on lawn saying "Recycled water used in the a.m., bodily contact is prohibited." What if you're walking your dog and it sniffs around?
As far as Rattlesnake selfies...you will NEVER...I repeat NEVER see me do that. I'm the one who jumps on the table when i see a mouse. OR a snake. Geez, you'd think I live right in the middle of the boondocks. I know what it is tho. They are tearing down a portion of the Cleveland Nat'l forest to build houses and I THINK that's bringing some of these critters ( ) out.
Yea I did hear about a guy who took selfie of he and snake and got bitten. Geez, ya think?? LOL
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 09/03/1506:31 PM
I'm with you TIS. I'm very afraid of snakes. They have had snake warning signs permanently posted at every park over here for years but luckily I haven't seen a snake yet. Once they start building homes, you're right, all the poor animals have to find somewhere else to go. Hopefully, far away from you and your neighbors.
Our town looks pretty awful with all the grass dying out so it is great that they are recycling water over by you.

Mark,
Do you remember Cheech/Chong's first album (I think "Up in Smoke". The one that had a joint paper enclosed the size of the album. ). "Dave's Not Here." If any one would ever say "Dave"...."Dave's not here" would be an automatic response. Maybe you're too young to remember.

Probably a few degrees hotter in Yorba Linda and Anaheim Hills than here in Westminster/Huntington Beach. Still past 80 degrees though and it's almost 8:30 in the evening. Haven't seen any snakes, but there's plenty of lizards.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 09/08/1507:12 AM
77 degrees right now it's a lil past midnight. El Niño está aquí. At least you have the ocean breeze to cool your area down. That really helps. We have a ton of lizards over here too. One is named Steve lol that's what my kids call him.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 09/08/1504:29 PM
Suppose to get to 103 today & tomorrow and stay pretty warm all week. I heard a cool down (in the 80s) by next week. I always consider September a summer month (unlike MI when it started cooling down).

TIS
No, sure didn't. The thunder scared the dogs, but they're alright. Can barely wait for this humidity to go away. It's feeling like the South over here.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 09/11/1502:03 AM
I thought I heard that next week it'll cool way down to the mid 80s. So get your jacket out A-girl. Look at it this way. With September nearly half over, real hot summer days will be fewer and fewer.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 11/16/1512:29 PM
41 degrees right now in northern Jersey. I got the blow dryer out and had to blow dry my toes for a while because I'm downstairs freezing. My Aunt has the heat on too high ustairs, it is like a sauna up there so I would rather be down here. So far the sun has been shining, a little breezy but clear crisp temps. Luv it!

A-Girl, what the heck you doing in Jersey this time of year??
It's been cool in the evenings here, but suppose to be in low 80s today.

Hi TIS. My Grandma's sister, who's 94 got sick. So I was going in to visit her. Turns out the radiation to fight off her colon cancer made her too ill to see me. So sad, she just wants to die. My Godfather was asking to see me too so I decided to still go in to see him. Also, my friends had a few days off to take me around NY so I went to see them too. Plus my kids are tied to me at the hip most of the time so I needed a break from them, some R & R for myself. All of my family is back there, so my Aunt had some of the family over so I could visit and catch up. I didn't even get to go visit my Mom's side, ran out of time. And the cold never bothers me, it's the heat that makes me cranky. I used to go visit my grandparents in January on my school break. Now that's cold. Brrrr.
It was 64 on Monday so my toes warmed up nicely I put the blow dryer away and took a walk. Beautiful autumn day.

A-Girl, I'm sorry about your grandmother. I didn't even think it could be an emergency type visit. My prayers to her.
I know I talked to my brothers in MI yesterday and they said it was pretty nice (60s) but expected rain in the next couple days.
When I visit, unless it's an emergency visit, I'll always plan to go anywhere between April and October. I simply can't take the cold. LOL I have my brother heat up the car til it's toasty before we go anywhere. Ha ha They laugh at me but I don't care.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 11/18/1506:56 PM
No worries TIS. My Grandma passed away back in 2007 at 94. This is her sister, my Aunt who will be 94 next week. In a way, I'm glad I didn't see her this trip so I can remember her as a strong healthy woman when I saw her two years ago.
I think El Niño may give the east coast a break this year. Maybe they will end up having a very mild winter while we here in CA get beat up with storms.
You are in the right state for nice warm weather that's for sure. CA is great. I can imagine how awful it must be for you in that cold winter weather in MI!
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 11/18/1507:31 PM
A-Girl,
My mistake, you did say Aunt. Yea, I know what you mean about remembering her as she was.
As far as MI, I lived there til I was 32 and hated the winters my entire life. LOL God, I remember getting stuck in my own driveway sliding in a snow bank or such. Hauling out the shovel. Burrrr. I was pissing/moaning the whole time. Ha ha ha NOW, I'm so Californianized that I will be cold when it's 50. Ha ha ha
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 11/25/1503:57 AM
I'm gunna look for it.
Sometimes a kid from around the corner gets to me before I head out to do the job.
I let him do it, he's a good kid and reminds me of when I did that as a kid.
Today, no other kids around here are interested in goin out an makin a buck shoveling snow. Pussies. They dont even mow lawns, I see the Fathers or landscapers doin it.
I did all that shit when i was a kid.
Good luck, hope you find that Shovel or someone to do it for ya.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 12/07/1506:11 PM
I'm with you Faithful1, give me that cool weather and the change of seasons, not just sunny and hot every day.
Warming up again 81 today. Took this while on the trail yesterday. And look at the second photo which shows how the city is saving water. All the grassy areas are now brown; so ugly. TIS must be happy that the cold weather is gone
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 12/07/1507:33 PM
Yea, it WAS a tad cool for a couple days, but I must say, I still am up early and go for a morning run. I just bundle up more. You guys will laugh BUT I have my electric blanket out just to avoid a chill. Ha ha ha Like I always say, you simply can NOT beat California weather.
Great pics A-girl. Yorba Linda? I think I see your backyard from my house. Ha ha It IS sad seeing beautiful greenery go brown. I sure hope we get a real rainy season.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 12/07/1509:27 PM
Nice photos AG and agree with you on the ugliness of the brown grass. Here is Westminster so many beautiful lawns have turned brown, including ours. I'm surprised that the state isn't giving out tax breaks for artificial lawns. A couple of neighbors have them and they look better than the dirt-look. As to what TIS said, we are supposed to get an El Nino, but they say it may not help much with the drought. People forget that much of California is basically a desert.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 12/08/1512:19 AM
Faithful1 I heard that it may be as bad as 1997, remember all the mudslides in Malibu and the piers getting hit hard along the coast? Those storms did a lot of damage. We are planning to replace most of our front lawn with native plants. The brown lawns I will never get used to, such an eyesore.
TIS an electric blanket already? I'm just kidding. At night it does get cold. My little doggie is my portable heater. He sleeps on my feet under the covers, drives me crazy. But one thing I have to say is he keeps me nice and warm.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 12/08/1506:29 PM
Weather here continues to be absolutely gorgeous. I went for a run early this morning to beautiful scenic sunrise as a backdrop to city lights. I heard it's suppose to cool down by tomorrow or Thursday, to what may e 60? Ain't life a bitch.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 01/06/1609:16 PM
Whoa! Who says "It Never Rains In Southern California?" It's pouring here and tv has had weather alerts every half hour or so. Last report I heard was all of Southern California. I really don't mind. It's kind of nice for change cause we very seldom get big rain storms AND with thunder no less. Ha ha Plus, we sure do need it.
That being said, I wouldn't be happy if I had to drive in it. The freeways will be bonkers.
Stay dry (if you can) my fellow Californians.
TIS
Damn, I have to take the dog out and she absolutely hates the rain. ha ha.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 01/08/1604:56 PM
TIS, that same "Godzilla" El Nino that's inundating you is slopping over here in the AZ High Desert. We've had three days of on-and-off snow. At this altitude (5,300 feet) it can snow (and accumulate) when the temp is almost 40. The saving grace is that it melts quickly when the sun comes out, and the main roads get clear even if they're not plowed, just by traffic.
This morning I awoke to another 4" of snow. Luckily, three guys in a truck happened to be passing by and offered to clear my driveway and turnaround for $50. Well worth it at my age.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2016) - 01/19/1604:53 AM
For the North and NE U.S. the week of Jan. 18th - 24th . . . . "The snow falls hard, and don't you know... The Winds of Thor are Blowin' Cold Cold Cold Cold !!!!"

These guys dont know nothin' bout old school live zep..u got my attention though..
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 01/25/1610:18 PM
It snowed here all in one day. I am to old and smart enough to try and do it myself. A few of the guys I use came after with snow blower and shovels. Did it all in an hour.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 02/10/1606:55 PM
Any of my fellow Californians enjoying our fabulous weather? Unseasonably warm into the hi 80s to low90s. Not to rub it in of course but like I always say, you just can't beat SoCal weather.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 02/13/1608:35 PM
TIS I'm glad you are enjoying this weather!!! I was in your neighborhood a couple weeks ago and hardly recognize the 91 freeway. They are making a ton of progress. I heard it will be shut down to build the bridge. Yikes!!

Hope you are doing well!!
It's a freekin' mess. There isn't a Serface Club exit right now either. Yes, next weekend, the 15 will be closed from the 71 to the 91 I think. A real mess. It's been that way for month. A while back I was taking my grandkids to the McDonald there right on Serface Club. What should have been a 5 minute drive took me 45 minutes. I'm NOT using that street anymore for a while.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 02/14/1602:02 AM
TIS that would definitely keep me off those roads. It will be so nice when it is all over. Having that bridge will alleviate so much traffic in the future. That freeway is like a parking lot most of the time.
I just drove in the far right lane the whole time I was on the 91 which took forever. I had no idea if my exit would even be open so when I got to it I was so damn happy!! Took me about 30 mins to drive 12 miles at 11 in the morning. Not too bad. I told my sis if I can't get off the fwy then I'm heading to Pechanga to play a couple of hands of blackjack and I'll take you out to lunch another day ha ha

Yes, we got it here too last night and looks gloomy/cloudy this morning with more rain expected. We really need it, so I'm not complaining. Plus, I kind of like the rain. Sometimes I turn everything off (tv, or radio, etc) and just like to listen to it. On the other hand, I NEVER like to drive in it. Like every Californian knows, ppl hear can't drive in the rain!! LOL Freeways slow down to a crawl when it drizzles. ha ha
Re: What's the weather like today? (2016) - 11/27/1609:42 PM
I wished it would pour here. We are in an "extreme drought" now, haven't had rain for like almost 70 days now and I'm not exaggerating. They are expecting bad weather in the South tomorrow and today but I'm hoping it hits here because we need the rain bad. Creeks are dry, lakes are pretty much dried up, and rivers are way down. People are deer hunting here with kiddie pools filled up with water, and that ain't no joke! This is the longest we have ever went without rain in the history of record keeping in the weather offices.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2016) - 11/29/1603:15 AM
Hi TIS. Me too. I really enjoy the rain for a change. We started turning the heat on now at night. It finally feels like autumn. This morning on the trail people were wearing heavy coats, beanies and gloves lol It was only about 50 degrees out.
Don't even get me started about driving in the rain
Re: What's the weather like today? (2016) - 11/29/1603:20 AM
Snowed up here in the High Desert last night and today. We're at 5600 ft. and temp didn't get below freezing, so it melted. At this altitude, we can get snow when the temp. is as high as 42.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2016) - 11/30/1601:01 PM
We finally got rain but got the tornadoes too. Currently under a tornado watch until 10am. Monday we lost power in the first round of severe storms and was out 23 hours. I guess it's kinda ironic my power was out.
Now waiting on round 2 but luckily it doesn't look as bad. Last night was rough North of us though. 3 dead early on and heard a 24 hour daycare was hit with 4 kids in critical condition. Lots of damage in North Bama.
Police say Tuesday's brutal winter storm claimed the lives of two New Yorkers as they tried to clear snow in front of their homes.
One of the victims, a 47-year-old man, died after suffering a heart attack while shoveling snow outside his Staten Island home as the wind-fueled nor'easter dumped more than a foot of snow on parts of the tri-state area.
Police received a 911 call around 12:30 p.m., authorities said. Paramedics were at the home on Stobe Avenue in Dongan Hills within five minutes and found the man going into cardiac arrest, officials said.
He was taken to a hospital, where he died several hours later.
A 38-year-old man also died Tuesday afternoon after he fell ill while trying to clear snow in front of his home in Wallkill.
Police said Anthony Cantela was snowblowing during the storm when he began to feel unwell and suffer chest pains. He went inside and told his family he was feeling under the weather, then took a shower and went to relax in his bedroom, authorities said.
Officials say Cantela is also believed to have had a heart attack.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2016) - 04/04/1706:52 PM
We had so much rain that all I see now are BUGS, mosquitos, all types of insects. This is pretty unusual for us. At night we can sit outside with minimal to no bugs. But this year it looks pretty bad. Has anyone who lives in Cali noticed this? I kill at least two mosquitos a day compared to maybe one every couple of weeks.
There are a couple of guys doing our front yard landscaping, taking out the grass putting in some plants and other shrubbery and rocks.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2016) - 04/04/1708:27 PM
Tomorrow we have a chance at "long term, large and violent tornadoes" and up to "baseball sized hail" with various super cell thunderstorms which will produce the big boys. Many people have no idea that Alabama leads the nation in EF5 tornadoes, tied with either Kansas or Oklahoma I forget which.
But I hate days like tomorrow, you never know when it's your turn to get the bad shit. At least with a big line along the front you know when to hide but when these super cells pop up and drop a tornado in less than a hour it makes it hard to get to safety quick.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2016) - 04/06/1710:44 PM
Well we got lucky and only had like 1 or 2 tornado warnings, but hail beat the living shit out of us last night. Just 10 miles up the road we had baseball sized hail, and no I'm not exaggerating. One of my mother's close friends lost 2 different windshields in it and a co-worker will be replacing a brand new Explorer hood and probably the roof too.

Glad everyone stayed safe. Too bad about all that damage to the vehicles. Wow! That was some hail storm.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 01/05/1810:00 AM
I froze my ass off here in Brooklyn, NY. I am still looking for it today.
My guys that removes the snow was not available yesterday. So I had to find other guys. Can’t find people to do it here near the water. I am in fairly good shape, but it to much area for someone my age to do by himself.
My wife found some one on Facebook. I am not on Twitter, Facebook or any other form of social media.
That was good. They told us there in the area and I got a price settled before they came they gave me the price I loved that I actually saved money. They came within 30 minutes after my wife made contact with them.
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 01/06/1812:43 AM
Watch out for the North Koreans Oak. Living on the west coast can raise the temperature from 68 degrees to 4000 degrees in no time. So don’t forget the sun block
Re: What's the weather like today? (2015-) - 01/06/1801:09 AM
Meh. Fear mongering, just like the WMD's in Iraq. Like I've said before, Trump and his more extremist supporters are a far bigger threat to this country than North Korea, but that's for another thread.
Regarding the weather, in all seriousness, hope everyone is safe. I saw on the news that the wind chill in N.H. tonight is going to feel like, and this is a quote, "100 degrees below zero". What the actual f...???

We're in the monsoon season here in the high desert of northern Arizona (5300 feet elevation). Temp gets into the hight 80s/low 90s by early afternoon, then clouds, thunder and lightning, then torrential downpours for a while, then clearing. Rain desperately needed here.
