The weather

Gary_C · February 10, 2014, 01:22:36 PM

There may, just may be good news coming. Our weatherman said the jet stream is sagging. Looks like more straight east to west flow instead of that polar vortex. After these two nights of -16 temps, it all the way up to 30 degrees later in the week. And lows of double digits ABOVE zero. 8)

Take care Willie and remember that I am only a phone call away.

We are suppose to get up to 6 inches Wednesday.
I'm just glad I'm not in Atlanta. :D

Al_Smith · February 10, 2014, 04:47:26 PM

6 inchs or maybe even 10 would not be a big deal in these parts .Poor old Atlanta is not prepared for it nor is the populace .

Lawdy I remember once in Norfolk they got 4 inchs of snow and closed the navy base .

Now all you folks who subscribe to Al Gores' theory how does the great Nobel peace prize winner address this stuff .Maybe the same theory as the idea they make snow out of styrofoam or some such nonsense .Tried to set it on fire ya know .Made national news too .

Al probabley takes it seriously ,Tipper I'd imagine could care less .This Al laughs and tee hees over the whole idea . :D

High temp today was 2° in the sun, in the shade I doubt it broke zero. Can't wait for Wednesday when its supposed to hit 20°.

Seriously guys, that is one awful winter. Yuck. That is why I don't live there anymore.

Also I like to pick oranges off my tree. ;D 8) 8) 8)

SwampDonkey · February 10, 2014, 07:17:36 PM

Hey, I pick winter apples, but they are frozen solid like hard balls. Good for the birds to eat, not me though. :D :D 8)

Al_Smith · February 10, 2014, 07:36:10 PM

I got a buddy who spends the worst of winter in Arizona .He calls about every two weeks .His last call it was about 75-80 degrees when we had 10 below .

Now to me Florida is looking better as I close in on retirement if for nothng else than Jan. and Feb .Those are generally the worst two months .

I drove past a church today that had this sign out. " Whoever is praying for snow, good job " I would have added "Now stop it"

Happy Birthday Marty!

This is still 'old man Winter's' time, it's not spring just yet. And, I remember, a few year ago we had corn 4" high on April 6, and I think it was a Easter weekend. A severe arctic front came through blowing a hard freeze for three days, the twenty degree range, killing all corn..dead.

chevytaHOE5674 · February 11, 2014, 07:14:43 AM

-11° this morning here close to the lake. Wife called from 3 miles inland on her way to work and said it was -28°. Brrrrr

curdog · February 11, 2014, 07:42:44 AM

It looks like the snow is actually going to make it this time around. We could get up to 12-14 inches from Wednesday through Thursday. I'm definitely happy, but concerned about some of the areas of eastern nc and sc and ga. Looks like they have the makings of a crippling icestorm. Hope everyone stays safe.

Magicman · February 11, 2014, 09:01:21 AM

We are slightly above freezing at 33°. The folks North and East of us will not be so fortunate. :-\

Wick · February 11, 2014, 09:07:59 AM

It's been snowing all morning here. Big puffy snow. The yard was already covered when I was loading the OWB this morning. Worried about the ice to come, maybe the snow line will stay on top of us, but doesn't look good. Got to be careful what you ask for :-\. Might need to go pick up a generator.

wwsjr · February 11, 2014, 09:23:31 AM

We have about 1/4" ice with 2" of snow. 25° now with wind chill 14°. Another round of same ice and snow due tonight. DOT is salting and sanding roads and bridges. High today mid 30's.
