5-7 inches of snow in DFW in March? Yeah, must be global warming......:nonono:

[Joe G]

I'd move. :bandit:

[68fastback]

Must be! :shades:

Usually the crocus are breaking through the residual crust of snow by today (my b'day), if any snow left ...there's 2 feet of snow pack on the ground :rofl3: definately global warming -lol

[Alloy Dave]

Currently snow on the ground...about 4-5" of it...but we are expecting mid 40s in about 3-4 days...finally.

[Boston Mike]

oh, its gonna be 65-70 all week next week. Most of it's already melted away. What a PIA of a morning though..........................at least Kherington had fun sledding and making snow angels for a little while.

I don't know what the fuss is about. It's been beautiful here in Tampa. Warm and with a nice breeze.

[Grabber]

Going to be 70 here in WA Sunday.

Here's the plan: Meet at Lava Java - off I-5 Exit 14 (west side of freeway) on Sunday. There's a Chevron there in case you need to top off. We will LEAVE by 10:15 - slightly earlier than previously stated. We'll drive up the Washington side and may stop at a gas station in Naselle for those of you who drank too much coffee upon departure. Lunch at Dooger's (lots of parking and and they're directly across the street from go-karts. Cars will be safe there) and then we can do go-karts or whatever anyone happens to be in the mood for. Sound like a plan? Don't forget to set your clocks FORWARD one hour Saturday night!!! Debra Love (https://www.facebook.com/debra.love.940) - please email to club.

I can't stress enough how many times I've said similar things to people. Sometimes it saddens me when I see people who have no right being parents of anyone...not to mention 4-5 kids....and then we have several pairs of very good friends who are not able to have children of their own and yet they would be fabulous parents. It just seems really out of whack to me....nature can be fickle.

[Darkside]

Forecast is 89 for tomorrow. AC will be cranked

[68fastback]

Should be around 50 here tomorrow.

Went down to the river today ...the big tankers (pushed by huge tug) require an ice breaker to run interference for them ...the local ice breaker here at the Coast Guard station is too small, so the BIG ice breakers the Coast Guard has down in NJ are the 'escort' ships -- pretty wild sound too as it breaks it up.

Hope I can catch ice-out in a couple weeks -- sometimes it's spectacular!

[Highwayman]

I worked on the USCGC ice breaker Healy for a few years as a civilian getting the propulsion and guidance system straightened out. A flat bottom boat is a completely different ride on the sea than a standard boat. We put it through some interesting rides when we would have to make test sea trails.

Awesome!! That is much bigger than the breakers we see from NJ Coast Guard station and our local breaker at the Saugerties CG station ...all we have here is a small breaker and a buoy-tender -- which is a very cool ship that I've been through a couple of times.

Here's some pics from yesterday ...I think this breaker must be due for an engine overhaul?

Funny thing: the head of the EPA was before Congress just recently and they asked her how much CO2 is in the atmosphere today vs historically. She had no idea :doh: and after several attempts at the question and her dodging it (because she was cluless) they told her how much (tiny amount) and asked how she could risk impacting so many US businesses and so many jobs, and how this could be such a high EPA prioroty (that they want to prevent things tranditional BBQing! -doh) etc ...of course there was no answer. :doh2:

Bureaucrats only continue being bureaucrats if they continue to make work for themselves. They only expand their empires if they can make more work for themselves tomorrow than they have today. QED.

About 3 days ago we had some serious winds (news said "up to" 90 mph) and about 3-4" of rain in 6 hours. Power was out for 23 hours at our house. One of my rentals had a tree in back that was partially knocked over and fell on the neighbor's porch...ruined a few windows and their air conditioning unit. I'd guess about $6k-$10k damage.

1411414115141161411714118

[Alloy Dave]

Then as I've been driving around town the past few days I've snapped a few photos of some of the worst damage. In that one pic, you can see the asphalt drive lifted. When I first saw that house, there was a car parked on it and the front end of the car was 6' in the air...but by the time I came back past an hour later and took the photos, they had moved the car.

The only thing we lost was our milk. Frozen goods stay safe for about 28 hours. I was about ready to transport it all to a friend's house.

No we don't have a generator....

1) Frequency of storm bad enough to cause food to spoil - once in 10 years
2) Cost of generator - $5,000
3) Cost of new food - $500

There's a difference between "trimming", "raising the canopy", "topping", and "removing". We need some of each done. And the location of the tree is critical...we have one that's in a back yard with no easy access...they'll have to tear out a section of our fence just to get a bucket truck in there. The cost of the fence repair alone is $400.

Charleston has had A LOT of snow in the past couple of weeks. And the overnight low in the valley has been below freezing more often than not the past few weeks.

Today we got to enjoy the refreshment of getting cold water from the sink when turning on the cold faucet. We will get to enjoy this for a couple of weeks before the lows go back up into the 60s.

[68fastback]

We've had almost no snow this year -- just a few light 'dustings' under an inch so far. Has been cold enough tho.
This Friday night into Saturday might be first winter storm tho models show it more down by TG and Wash DC area than up here ...we shall see.

The reason you don't have snow is some guy burned a bunch of land to make fields so he could farm 7000 years ago.

I thought it was TG's fear of crossing the Mississippi River that was throwing of the earths rotation

[Tommy Gun]

Just be glad Sharun doesn't slip into the Mississippi from the east, the impending tidal wave would wipe out a large area of the west coast.

We got an inch or 2 of snow over night - school was cancelled again. :banghead:

Weather has been sort of screwy here. The El Nino storms come over us but it doesn't rain, just high overcast. So while the normal highs are close to 60, we've stretched to do mid 50's because we don't get much sun. Today is supposed to be clear though so if it warms to 50 by 8:00 (one hour) I'll head to Cars and Coffee for a couple of hours. I haven't driven the GT since Thanksgiving so need to warm it up.

I'm getting 2 feet of snow today. :popcorn:

...or not. It was partly cloudy at 7:00 (my time) when I wrote this and by 8:00 was cloudy and looks like rain, and damp and cold. Oh well. There is a Bowery Boys movie on TCM.

I enjoy watching the drama of reporting snow accumulation in the Northeast. Do you know how many places in the country had 8+ inches of snow this week. Quite a few. We actually had right at 8" here Wednesday. And on Thursday, everyone gets up and goes to work. Not even mentioned on the news.

We have been getting rain for the last couple months. Its a welcome sight around here. I don't mind the rain. Grabber should be used to the rain. After her lives in rain central. :lol:
As fot the east coast its dangerous to be out in a blizzard. 2 feet and blowing snow is not something to play with. Cant figure out why all those folks are stuck on a PA. freeway. Some truck drivers may be professional but what are they doing out in weather like that. Does it matter if your load is sitting at a warm motel or a cold freeway?

[Tommy Gun]

The blizzard finally caught up w us here at the beach. Got at least an inch maybe over night.

Probably wont be able to budge the doors open and will be stuck in the house at least another 24 hours.

We can barely see the tops of the vehicles outside, and the grass is almost covered. :surprised:

Hope they dont call a state of emergency, I'll have to try and take the trash out later today.

Plus, haven't had one night below 0*F yet -- last year we had 9 nights between -10 and -22*F and many below 0.

Bad thing about an El Nino year here is that we tend to get huge snowfalls very late (mostly in March) ...with heavy wet snow :ugh: ...hopefully the moisture will wait until April :pray: when it's rain -- hopefully rain :rofl3:

Now people are crying in Pacifica about the ocean eroding the cliff that there apartment is sitting on. it happens every year. They look out the window and see the ocean getting closer then bit** when they are told to move. What are they going to do ride it down the cliff. We have had some high surf here in recent months.

[68fastback]

yeah, I think I'd have moved about 10 years ago! :yikes:
It's so strange to see dirt cliffs that high near the ocean. Here in the NE it would be solid rock. Probably when those apartments were built the ocean was a few hundred feet away. Leetle by leetle :rofl3:

Vegas is finally getting out of the El Nino flows. They have left us mostly overcast for the past week or so. High clouds that keep it from getting too cold at night but prevent the sun from warming during the day. My forecast on the phone shows 71 on Saturday.
