Haha. Yeah, just try living there.

hmmm... one hour will be fine...

 

[undrcvrbro]

We've been getting snow today. It was rain and sleet this morning, but it finally turned to snow and started sticking this afternoon, and was kind enough not to start REALLY sticking until I was done running errands. I don't have to go anywhere tomorrow, so I hope it keeps pouring snow so I can enjoy it.

Hi, Moonie! Currently, we've got torrential rains pounding on the metal roof, and hopefully it won't translate into heavy flooding, though the prospects for late March/early April are a bit bleaker. The heavy snow-pack this winter (2-3-4' or more through most of the state with high water content) is a threat. A warm 3-4 day period with rain could devastate our infrastructure.

Spring has sprung here. Lots of flowers. It is beautiful in the mountains.

 

[Moonbear]

Nothing left but a few white patches on the grass now to remind us we had snow yesterday. I just want ONE nice pretty snow that sticks and lasts more than a day and is enough to build a snowman.

 

[turbo]

I wish I could send you a few hundred cubic yards of snow. I won't even glimpse my front lawn until late April/early May.

 

[VashtiMaiden]

5 minutes of snow! i hope so... lol.. here in the Philippines

 

[Astronuc]

We had lots of rain on Saturday and some areas flooded. Our flood control system worked and our basement remained dry.

Saturday evening through Sunday morning, we had high winds, with gusts about 40 mph. Some trees came down in the area, but our neighborhood didn't have any problems.

Missouri governor seeks federal disaster declaration for 70 counties

PIEDMONT, Missouri (AP) -- Residents of low-lying towns stacked sandbags or grabbed belongings and evacuated Wednesday as a foot of rain pushed rivers over their banks in the nation's midsection. At least 13 deaths had been linked to the weather, and three people were missing.

Record or near-record flood crests were forecast in several towns in Missouri. Flooding was reported in large areas of Arkansas and parts of southern Illinois, southern Indiana and southwestern Ohio.

And we're back to freezing temperatures again. I can't set my seedlings out during the day, it's too cold.

 

[turbo]

It might get above freezing today, but with the 20-25 mph winds, it won't feel too warm. Without counting any future snowfall, Caribou, ME has set a record 182.5" of snowfall - the highest total since records were kept in the 1930's. We've had well over 10' of snow here this year, but they have topped 15' and still have another month or so of potential snows.

We do not get weather in England, extremes like you yanks get would stop our country dead.
I have my fingers crossed for you Turbo, and hope you will not need a garden ark.

When I planted my garlic last December, I drove a 4' wooden stake to mark where the German garlic stopped and the Russian garlic started. There might have been 3' or so sticking out of the ground, and right now I can see about 8-10" of the stake - the rest is covered with snow. When the snow melts, I might have to wear my snowshoes when I till the garden to keep from getting stuck in the mud. Normally, we can start planting around the end of May, but that might get delayed this year.

No vampires in your garden then!

Until the garlic sprouts, I hope the stake will scare them off.

Hope the easter Bunny hasn't hidden the eggs yet. All the little children out in their brand new Easter snow suits...

I never thought that I'd see you cry about getting 6 inches overnight.

I saw a house fly a month ago that's how warm it is atm here! Please no Disney jokes.

I don't know from Disney, but where the hell do you live that you have flying houses?

 

[Schrodinger's Dog]

I've seen a horse fly, it's not uncommon over here.

 

[Danger]

So you're in Greece? Or have Pegusi gone international?

No England, we see them all the time. I'm surprised you don't.

Probably has something to do with what you feed them.

Yeah its Red Bull apparently it gives you wings.

 

[Danger]

I'm definitely detecting bull, but I'm not sure what colour it is.

 

[Schrodinger's Dog]

Nah it's a fact it's scientific.

 

[Danger]

I've seen that 'scientist' character in the ads, but never that specific one.
We actually have a bit of a problem with that stuff here. A lot of kids have taken to making highballs with it. Since that's not a good idea, it's illegal for a bar here to make one. On the other hand, they just sell a shot of rye or whatever and a can of Bull; the kids are free to mix it themselves.
Anyhow, my shift is over, so I'll outta here. Catch you later.

You want snow? We've got snow! Here is a view of the western mountains from the road that I live on.
