Poll of the day: How's the weather?

Bouncing back between the A/C during the day and heat at night, both come on very infrequently. Right now the thermostat is off, where I hope to leave it as with the rain coming the humidity is rising.
We have bugs now too. They look like houseflies but they bite and the bite HURTS. Worst thing about Phoenix so far. Soon, the whiteflies will come to eat the grass and my herbs. Literally nothing you can do to rid yourself of them.

Be sure to take a canoe trip through the bayous. [cue Dueling Banjos played on accordion and fiddle]

 

Storms yesterday and today. My favorite kind last night.... Lightning, downpours, wind.... Crazy. Supposed to keep raining today, snow tomorrow. This is more like it!

 

80 right now. Storms coming

Mid 60's and breezy--feels like early fall in places with 4 seasons. Sunny, gorgeous. One of those great-to-be-alive weather days. Can't wait for a big walk later today!

 

If it weren't such an expensive place to live, I would LOVE to live in SoCal

We had weather today. Tornado warning, severe thunderstorm warning, heavy rain, some hail, and lots of wind. It occurred to me that every room in our house has at least one window, and we also don't have any rooms without outside walls. I wish basements were more prevalent down here.

(I did make a fort in one of the middle rooms, though, as both a shield against possible broken glass and a way to calm the pups down. They liked it. I almost want to leave it up.)

 

It's 27c - 85% humidity - 50% chance of rain

The high today should be 29c.

All in all, not too bad.

 

It's 15F and will be that or lower for the next week or two.

 

Read today that my former home of 30 years, the Chicago area, had no snow in January and February breaking a nearly 150-y.o. record. Weather has been so bizarre throughout the country--the globe, even. Wonder if there is anything to that? Hm.

 

On my drive from Oak Lawn to the loop yesterday, it went from an ice storm to pouring down rain to a blizzard to little fluffy flakes within 15 miles and about 45 minutes. There was snow on the rooftops today and it's currently floofing while I'm driving in Oak Lawn to work. But none on the ground!

 

high Wednesday was 80, freeze warning in affect tonight. wish it would make up its mind

 

All HELL IS BREAKING LOOSE. For 2 days now we have had snow, today is April 29th, hail, a total of not quite 10 inches of rain, the thunder is pounding and the lighting has been destructive. Lightning struck our shop and the vibration shut our machines off. The building is steel, the I beams sweated vapour, the elecritrial conduit flamed at the plug, and the ceiling bulbs all exploded resulting in total darkness. Amazing, truly humbling, grateful no one was harmed. Home now and the weather is shaking my home and like drums in my ears.

 

We're having multiple tornadoes to the NE of us, and we're forecast to have severe thunderstorms and possible tornadoes here, as well. All around 1 or 2 in the a.m.
