The weather

[Magicman]

I would almost rather see a bowl of grits in front of me than those cold temps this time of year.

At least the Grits would warm you up.  I would be concerned about the withdrawal effects on you as they wore off.   ;D

We are a wet 35° this morning.  Not raining, just wet.

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

I have seen withdrawal from Grits......it's not pretty.  smiley_sick

[thecfarm]

I look at the grits situation this way,if I never start,I will never have to quit.

That other picture was taken in the wifes car at 6:50am when the it was just getting light.

Its now 8:15am and the sun is shinning and this is the temp as I let the jeep warm up so I can go check on animals.....

[Autocar]

Here this morning its ten degrees and calm wind. I believe there calling for a little snow later today. Grounds not froze a bit so work is at a stand still.

My thoughts about a switch flipping are based upon the near record warm winter in the southwest and near record cold in the NE. All that has to happen is the normal west to east spring air movement and the cold will be done. I think overall the situation is near average. It's just that the cold is stuck and the heat is stuck. We shall see.

Anyway, 78 and sunny. ;D 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

A couple years ago just about this time we had snow storm that dumped 20" on us followed by a few days of cold but a week later it was 87 degrees.

Hey, Chevy I'm not arguing whether you had the coldest winter in your records. Could very well be. In 2008, that was our record year. This year ain't even close for the amount of snow or cold for us. It's certainly been cold, but not many mornings lower than -10F here. January if you recall we had a lot more mild days out this way and you couldn't fathom it. Oh well. :D ;)

Yes in 2012, I took photos of aspen (on this forum) flowering the end of March and a week of 70's degrees, not sustained, but farmers were on the fields by May 1st. We had major floods in towns.

I am hoping to see all above freezing temps at high noon in the next 8 day forecast tomorrow night. Tomorrow was the only below freezing day. Looks like something next Wed,snow than rain.

[thecfarm]

I had -5 for a low, 1 above now. Some place was suppose to be in the -20 range. I guess them was the so called valleys. Looking forward to the warm up. Hope it don't come and go so quick,I miss it. Sun is out nice and strong for now.

[Autocar]

Its in the teens here and the wind is out of the northeast, I don't think theres any direction colder then a northest wind. Weather man says its suppose to get better as the week goes on . I can't wait Ive had enough  :.

[isawlogs]

-30°C again this morning, winter that does not want to end....   

[mesquite buckeye]

Partly cloudy and 84 ;D 8) 8) 8)

Now where did I put that suntan lotion?

[sawguy21]

You keep this up us northerners will get you.  ;D Mind you, you can keep your 115 to yourself this summer. I can't handle that for long.

[mesquite buckeye]

Already 132 in the greenhouses. Even the saguaros were sweating. ;D

[isawlogs]

 I can always put on another layer or another log wich ever suits me at that time, what will you do this summer...     ;D  Mr. Sunbather  :D

[chain]

The new 8-14 day forecast finally shows the center of arctic cold moving to the Northeast where it is supposed to be, for crying out loud!

That means the upper mid-west, south and plains will now begin to return to more normal temps for March. Dryer conditions may prevail in middle south.

I can always put on another layer or another log wich ever suits me at that time, what will you do this summer...     ;D  Mr. Sunbather  :D

That is so mean spirited I don't know what to say. :'(

Now I have to go outside and get rid of the flannel shirt cause it's too warm for that. ;D

Not summer yet. ;D ;D ;D 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

[mesquite buckeye]

When summer comes it feels like the sun goes right through you, it is so intense. Pretty tough from about Mid May to Mid September. Most of that time it is still nice at night and early in the morning.  ;D
The rich guys head up your way for those 4 months. That is not me. :(

You do save money on heat and winter clothes. ;D 8) 8) 8)

[Raider Bill]

Tornado warnings just went off here. Water Spout 3 miles off shore headed this way.


Good bye cruel world.

Update, getting 3 inchs of rain per hour right now.

[Chuck White]

We had -20° at 6:30AM and +22° now!

[chevytaHOE5674]

Finally a "warm" day UP here. Started the morning at -8° and it got up to 29°. Looks like a few more days like this on tap.

[SwampDonkey]

I think the cooling off bill would offset any heat savings. ;D I know a fellow up here that lived in a trailer. His electric bill was the same winter and summer, over $300/mo. But you don't think of it being hot up here in summer. It is if you have to swing a saw in it. ;D

[Magicman]

We had a drizzly, nasty, dreary, foggy, and wet day today.  That and most of my day was "windshield" time.   :-\

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

If you look on the S.C. weather map right now......you will see a flood in progress.  :D :D :D
