F U Mother Nature (spring version)

[blas]

I swear to God this better not be anything significant.

If anyone needs me Friday, I will probably be lounging around, pouting in a giant hoodie and sweat pants and giant socks. Fuckinaye.

[Racket_Man]

I hear ya Blas. we got the same forcast---- slushy snow/rain and low temps. OH and welcome to sping(????) in Wisconsin.

DAMN now I will have to re-cover my roses and put them back in the garage and cover up my Bleeding Hearts AGAIN. AND I wanted to purchase and pot up some NEW roses (had two die last summer) this weekend too

[blas]

NWS still hasn't arrived yet or hasn't decided if it there were tornados here yesterday. Hmm, must not be that big of a deal.

Oh, GUESS WHAT IS STILL IN THE FORECAST THIS COMING WEEKEND?

And the local weatherman is teasing that there's the possibility we could be looking at some semi significant snowfall. He also said that temps Thursday into Friday will be plunging, and to expect the forecasted high for Friday to go lower and lower every day leading to Friday, chance that it may even go below freezing.

FUCK YOU MOTHER NATURE. WE SAID ENOUGH WITH YOUR LAST FUCKING STUNT AND WE MEANT IT! MIDDLE APRIL, SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[Treasure]

we got rain here in the early am hours, supposedly there was hail - i dunno me and the boy slept through it all, in fact he came back in when he was ready to leave, to grab paper towels to dry of the seat of his motorcycle - all i know is that apparently my area needs the rain, as we're considered to be in a severe drought right now....

[Food Lady]

We got the first really bad one and you got the second, smaller storm, Irv. Sleep well tonight.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Irv is alive and well....but tired and cranky because the sirens got him out of bed as he was just falling asleep.

All that for lots of lightning and thunder, a little wind, and maybe 7 drops of rain. It was probably worse out in the country.

[Becks]

Daaaaaaaaaamn...those pictures are FANTASTIC!!!

I hope Irv's okay, and I'm glad the rest of us are.

[Racket_Man]

...and the damn siren is going off again.



I really don't like this.

Thankfully most of the nasty stuff went south of us Becks. Now Irv might have gotten hit. and about 9:45pm the sky was crystal clear with stars and a cresent moon

I may say FU Mother Nature but the light show was GREAT. YES I have some pics. they are a bit grainy because I had to use the low light and slow shutter settings on my camera.

I just survived the Storm of the Century, so I'm happy. It hit bad west of me and then made a beeline for my town. They got golfball-sized hail, but I'm glad we didn't get the baseball-sized hail they said was a possibility. I spent the better part of an hour in my closet, waiting for my death. OK, hyperbole, but we were really getting pounded on the west side and I was really scared. I have no basement and I'm on the top floor. The huge tree out front lost 1/3 it's branches and after the storm the sidewalk was flooded ankle-deep. The sirens kept going off. So glad it's over. Hope Irv is ok; his county has a tornado warning.

[blas]

Storm sirens woke me up shortly after 4, was upgraded to tornado warning around 4:30-4:45, even though by then the sun was back out.

Supposed tornado about 20 miles southeast of me, but they are waiting on the NWS to check it out.

[Becks]

The man of the household reported lightning between 3:30 and 4 pm.

I am reporting a thunderstorm at 8:53 pm.

The damn tornado siren scared the crap out of me.

[BlaqueKatt]

I am disappointed. They ramped last night and today up to be something so amazing, and so far, nada.

A little hail and rain yesterday afternoon, cleared up, last night there were a few rumbles and one loud bang of thunder.....we've been under a severe weather warning since last night, until late tonight.....nope. The sun is out.

I will believe this when I see it. And as far as the 75 degree forecast, um. No.

no rain at all here, some wind and it's over 80 and humid as heck....ugh....my very fuzzie kittie is not happy....it's only april it should not be this damn hot already!

The weather channel is trying to say 34 degrees and snow next Saturday. The fucking nerve.

I hope that's not true, but my local news hasn't updated the weather yet. They still say 51 for next Saturday.

[Becks]

I slept through all the thunderstorms this morning.
