The End Of Days!!!!
I can't tell you how unbelievable the weather is here right now!!!! I have literally never seen anything like this in rl! The sky started looking really dark in one direction. (I would guess north-ish.) Then the wind picked up, and my 5 yo was laughing as she tried to walk against the wind.
Then the snow hit! I've never seen snow that was absolutely horizontal! For at least 20 minutes now, it's been like this! It's like a Spielberg movie or something. Arctic Circle kind of crap.
I tried taking a 15-second video with my cell, but the quality isn't good enough.
Looks like it's getting much lighter out now. I guess the clouds are being blown entirely past now.
EDIT:
Here it is.

All better. It ended about 10 minutes after I posted. Crazy, crazy stuff. I called one of Christy's sons, who was waiting in the car 10 miles away as his mother was in a store, and asked him if it was snowing. He said, "Yeah! But it's not coming down from the sky! It's sideways!"

Shhh! Don't meantion the 'S' word too loudly or the weather gods may hear you! Feb always seems to be a bad weather month so I wouldn't rule out snow just yet.CovenantJr wrote: Here too. The last few days have been sunny and mild. We didn't see so much as a hint of snow this 'winter', and I only had to wear gloves once.
I'm all for an early spring/summer though! It was lovely down my way today-blue skies and sunshine galore!

We have a 12 ft base and I'd say at least 25ft drifts. Maybe I'll take a pic and put it in the album.
And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.

~this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you~
...for then I could fly away and be at rest. Sweet rest, Mom. We all love and miss you.

Yes, pictures!
Incredible tale, Fist! As for concerns about the quality of your video, hey, it couldn't by any worse than a lot of the low-res crap I see on youtube. Post it!
Here, we haven't had a lot of snow lately (yesterday's mini-blizzard notwithstanding!). Instead, we've been experiencing seriously cold temperatures with a wicked wind behind it.

If only. I've tried sending flix txt-like to my email, but my cell won't let me. Kinda annoying to have a cell phone, which, practically by definition!!, should be able to communicate with beings and/or devices outside itself; and have that cell take flix, implying it can communicate those flix to beings and/or devices outside itself - yet it is unable to do so.Matrixman wrote:Incredible tale, Fist!

We've been having a thunder-ice storm all morning. And rain/ice/snow is expected again for this evening. My poor little feet turned into blocks of ice on my way into work, as the slush was higher than the level of my pumps.
I left all of my students' manuals in my car, so I have to venture outside again in the next hour or so.

Fairly cold here, too, yesterday and today. Temp is currently in the teens, with wind chill taking us much lower. The wind is the killer part, for sure... and to think I saw very silly people wearing flipflops and light jackets in this weather yesterday! Are these people idiots?
We are slated to get 3-7 inches of snow in the next 24 hrs - nowhere near the feet-upon-feet of snow that Furls is talking about - but this will be the first time it has snowed when the temp has been significantly below freezing - so we might get our first hard snow of the season... hopefully the last, too. Winter Where is global warming when you need it?

Hm. And I got sunburned in Atlanta yesterday.Wyldewode wrote:Thanks. . . they're just about thawed now. . . I'll let you know when they need re-warming.
I swear. . . today's weather is fit only for lounging in pajamas and fuzzy socks, covered with a warm throw, and doing something cozy.
And for the weather update. . . still raining. . . and 30 degrees.
