How's The Weather By You?

Turns out there were seven confirmed tornadoes in Middle Tennessee Tuesday night. All of the destruction, including loss of homes, stayed above us. The tornado pattern seems to be up I-65 from the SW and almost always follows the I-40 corridor or stays in close proximity to it.

Tonight was supposed to be quiet but we have more wind tonight than we did at any point last night. I knew it was too good to be true that we didn't lose any shingles last night --- they got loosened up for tonight's weather event, I'm sure:apthy:

I lived on a such a "windy path" on the OH/PA border that I had my dogs trained to not pass go and collect 5 lbs of dog treats, but immediately go to the basement when I pointed and said "basement! hurry hurry!". This current house is on a crawl space, so the current two are on their own if they don't come in the closet when I tell them to:eek:nthego:

Strange strange weather, without question.
 
I saw about those tornadoes just a little while ago, and was thinking about you TWH. There's been a few where I live over the years, but luckily never hit our home. We have one room in the basement with no windows, that's where we'd head if threatened. We've had warning sirens going off, but we haven't had to take cover yet. Good to have the pups trained, my guy will just go where I lead...of course the cat would have to be snatched up and carried.
 

Another beautiful day ahead for Las Vegas 65 and sunny. Ya'll come go for a walk with me about lunch time, it should be great! No other plans just whatever comes along for today. May run an errand or two. Enjoy !
 
Steve...How did that snow dance work out for you?...I think I did something wrong, must have shook my booty to the left one too many times instead of the right,:confused: because now we're supposed to get snow tonight. No more snow dances for me. You're on your own now, 'cause if it's one thing I don't need, it's snow.

You said it. Two nights ago we were sleeping with the bedroom window open and ceiling fans on and still sweating. I was really trying to brave it through without turning on the air conditioner. Tonight has snow in the forecast and the low is going to be 17 with a wind chill of 4. WTH??

Hope the weather your way tonight passes above you again.

It turns out there were 13 confirmed tornadoes in Middle Tennessee, 12 of which were on the ground:uncomfortableness:

Wednesday evening (after the tornado day) the wind kicked up around 5:00 PM and never let up until two the next morning, so I went two nights without sleep - lol lol Shingles are still on the roof but I know something had to have come loose because I could hear the electric cable, from the transformer to the house, snapping in the wind; something I didn't hear on Tornado Night.

It was 20 degrees in the garage this morning and the high might get to 32 - lol lol At least we have a lot of sun:cool:

Sounds like you are having the same exact weather we are. Ohhh..that electric thingy would scare me. Will the electric company check it out for you?

The snow didn't materialize last night, thankfully. It is really cold this morning 20 degrees here too this am..now at 27, but maybe high of 34. We had the high winds Wednesday eve, too. I have a huge tree on the hill on the side of the driveway that really needs to be taken down. I'm afraid it's going to go with a bit more wind..It will take out the power line...I have to work on having someone out to cut it, but it's in a very awkward place.
 
Yeehaw ! another beautiful day ahead at 67 degrees. Looking forward to my walk in the park a bit later. Getting the laundry underway and getting ready for the Super Bowl weekend. We got friends and food coming over to enjoy the day with us.

They did check it --- back in 2004 and their words, more-or-less were:

"---everything's fine ma'am. We put that much slack in the cable to allow for these wind storms but yewww can keep an eye on it, if it mekks ya fehl betr--".

lollollol since it hasn't come down in all those years, I figure them Good Ole Boys knewwww whut theh wur talkin' 'bout. Especially since my big Sorrel's favorite thing in life is to itch his back along one of the guide wires for that transformer pole - he could use a tree, just like the other three but, no, he has to use the guidwire. I'm surprised he has hair on his back, much less skin - lol lol:stupid:


Never fear, Ozarkgal, we are going to be in the 50's by next next -- get out the Hawaiian Tropics - lol lol lol

I know that's not directed to me but, the 49ers are 5 for 5 in Superbowl wins. I would like to see the Ravens win. The Ravens also have the young man whom the movie "Blindside" was based on. I know nothing about football and don't want to but it seems like the Ravens are the underdogs here; they got this far, so I hope they win:triumphant:


Again I say, I really feel sorry for Mom Harbaugh - if those were my two sons, I don't think there's enough Acepromazine to get me thru that game -- lol
 
Aw, SeaBreeze I am a COLTS fan and we ain't in it. I'm just hoping for a good game, no serious injuries and lots of fun. I have to work till half time but I'll catch the tail end and enjoy the friends and family at the house. That's really the best part.
 
We'd rather be rooting for the Broncos, they played good this season, but blew the game to make it into the playoffs. I'm not really a football fan either, but I agree with TWH, it's always nice if the underdogs get a break. :)

Hubby's football watchin' buddy, last year...

An overcast 65 for Vegas today. But we gonna have a great day with "FFFF" Friends, Family Food and Football, there's nothing better. Well, wait I could be in "The Big Easy" enjoying that wonderful unique city again.
 
^^^ I was there once but not for Mardi Gras. That is a city everybody should be able to visit once in their life.

My favorite things were the food, Preservation Hall, the food, REAL Pralines, and the food:eek:nthego:

The best crawdads by far, were boiled in some secret sauce in a 50 gallon drum behind a drinking establishment - lollol It took a lot of shots before I worked up the nerve to eat those things the way they were supposed to be eaten. That was 20 years ago and I have long-since stopped drinking and lost my "crawdad nerve" :rolleyes:
 
The weather over here is seasonal for a change.. I dread to use the word "normal" because what is normal ???

Nice and sunny days with the temp around the -15c mark and lovely nights with the temp around the -25c mark..

We love it that way except some more snow would be very welcomed..
Lots more snow actually...
 
^^^same here for today. Daily temps will hit what is seasonal (good word choice, I think "normal" should be removed from Merriam-Webster-lol). However as we work toward the end of the week, we will warm up a tad beyond what is seasonal.

I predict early Spring in my area - something I am not thrilled about, since I have two horses with Type II diabetes and Spring grass is dangerous to them -- I used to love Spring.
 
It's Vegas, and yes, another beautiful sunny day, mid 60's. We don't get a lot of variety in our weather but then we never have to have a back up plan either. I'm off to work at 11 but gonna enjoy the morning.
 
34C here today, a wee bit warm for me but a heap better than the 43+ we had last month,

nothing much doing around the home today, a few bits of housework then back on the pc as usual lol
 
Still seasonal but slowly getting a bit colder daily..
Today the high was -17c and the low tonight should be around the -28c mark and that isn't the wind chill factor..

Tomorrow they are calling for another cool day with the possibility of some snow..

The good thing about this cool weather is that there are NO bugs.....
