It's that time again--F*ck you Mother Nature!

[BeenThereDoneThat]

It's a bit chillier in my part of Florida than in Jester's, but not too much, yet. We'll get a bigger cooldown in the actual winter months. (No snow, though...with the possible exception of VERY brief flurries that barely reach the ground.) I grew up in New Jersey so I've had my share of the nasty stuff, TYVM.

We avoided the big one.

I was livid that Sunday night/Monday morning they were already putting us under Winter Storm Warnings and calling for first 2-4 inches then 6+ (well, the winter storm under just a few inches really bothered me, that's no storm). Thankfully, it was pretty obvious watching radar Tuesday into Wednesday that it was not going to hit us.

Yesterday morning, there was snow covering cars and grass, but not enough to do anything and it was really wet and sloppy, not slippery.

Thank you God, thank you SO MUCH that we did not get the 14 inches that some areas got, or even the 4 inches LaCrosse got, or even the 2 inches that just to the east of this city got.

WHEW!

The weather guy, Wednesday evening......looked so butthurt, it was not even funny. Almost pouting on live TV about it. Fuck off, asshole. There will be plenty, plenty, plenty more snow to get people riled up about later.

Been lucky that here in Ohiolandia it has been unseasonably warm. In fact, I am still mowing grass. I should not have to be mowing grass in November.

Bet you're not saying that right now, my friend.

My patio has little bits of ice on it from when it rained last night. I know, I know...not a huge deal, but (like Myt said) it was unseasonably warm up until yesterday. Like in the high 60s. In Ohio. In November.

In my corner of the world it's 45F, cloudy, windy, and foggy. It's rather like living inside a Castlevania game and I'm just as pleased as punch about that. I'm a big, big fan of gloom, and I love it when the weather gets all Gothic on me -- and it frequently does around here with weather like this in the winter and delightful storms in the summer.

I suspect that there are enough northerners, humourists and just plain nuts here we could arrange for this plane Evergreen 747 Supertanker to pay Jester a visit after orbiting at Angels 30 or so for a few hours for the tanks to chill out.

Hey, Jester! Heard your bar was smokin', so we took precautions.

[fireheart]

Admittedly we do sometimes get some wet weather in Summer, but it's rare.

Also a tip for newbies to smartphones: use your FINGERS. Not your thumbs

(by the by, I'm typinb this on my android phone as a test. So forgive any typos I may have made as a result of my fingers being too fat and I need to obtain a special typing wand or something. )

Have a look for Swype, it more or less solves the fat fingered typing problem

Weather can't make its mind up this side of the pond, its warm, then cold, then wet, then windy. We were predicted lots of snow for October but didn't see any.
All my berry bearing plants are loaded though, so they're either confused or something majorly wintery is going to happen!

[Racket_Man]

You're not a bastard. Unless I'm wrong in assuming that your parents were married when you were born.

You're an evil, evil, EVIL man, and I can't wait for a time when I can pelt you with snowballs.

YA beat me to it IRV

I WILL somehow find a good portable freezer AND the money to travel down there and somehow GET him (Jester) with a good ol slushball

well it started to snow/rain/snizzle/what the fuck ever up here about 7 or 8 am this morning aftrer raining ALL Fracking night (the sump pump is just NOW stopping)

driving tonight was not all that bad. the ground was covered but the streets reamained relatively driveable but the 2 snowflake law was in full effect tonight ie. 2 snowflakes fall and the phones light up for hours on end as if there is no other food available but PIZZA

I don't hate you. I think that's lovely. Now, excuse me while I go do the conversion to Fahramericanheit.....

Oh, 81. Well, being as it's currently 75F here at night, and 81 is just a few degrees or so warmer than that, I'm right there with you.

Of course, while *I* don't hate you, you DO realize that THEY will, right?

I was referring to those poor souls like Irv who won't get the lovely joys of summer here

I tell ya, it isn't Christmas down here until you can jump into a swimming pool or play with the garden hose

[Becks]

To be fair, my parents were, in fact, married when I was born. Hell, they were married for THIRTEEN YEARS when I was born. So there's no room for even an intimation that I am in any way illegitimate. Of course, when I said I was a bastard, I was talking more in the sense of my being an evil, evil, EVIL man. Which you seem to agree with.

As for pelting me with snowballs, I hope you have a good portable freezer, because I live in the tropics, I'm from Arizona, and I don't go Up North during the winter, as it's Cold Up There!

You'd be surprised at my skills.

Y'all gonna hate me now....it's a nice sunny 27C outside at the moment

I guess they got socked more up north where the precipitation may have been all snow.

Yeah, I'm a bastard. And your point being?
