Im sitting here at work waiting for the snow/ice storm to happen or not .I was told this morning I would be here the next several days until this one passes .Man am I ever bored .

I bet, heard you might get hit again. Maybe it will be the last time finally for you this winter. I'm so ready for spring and cruise in time.

[flash]

I wish it would go ahead and do its thing whatever it might be ,I hate being away from home but I can use the overtime for another transmission for my truck.

[Ken Hayes]

Always crossword puzzles to do........or thumb twidaling.

[flash]

I have been web surfing like crazy but Im about to turn in for the night .I have a mattress on the floor near my work table calling my name.

[Ms Grumpy]

So how are things today John ? I hope you guys are OK. Please let us know.

[Ms Grumpy]

We are going to have a heat wave tomorrow. It should be in the mid 20's. I just want it to be warm enough to get rid of some of the ice on my driveway.

[flash]

It snowed all day today but most of it finally melted by about 2 PM ,we were supposed to stay on campus until this next storm passed but my boss decided we were not needed and got to go home at 3 PM .We are expecting ice and or snow tonight and tomorrow but I hope it misses us . It is nice to be home after 32 continous hours at work.

[shadowgray396]

Most of the snow is gone here. Was almost 50 today, but going to be very windy and wet tonight. Some flooding is expected with all the melting snow and rain. Thursday looks a little dryer.

[flash]

Its all icy and white here and snow keeps on coming down.

[shadowgray396]

Some sun balls today off and on. Starting to rain tonight again. Wasn't a bad day outside after all today.

[flash]

We are still getting freezing rain/snow mix .My driveway is about 750 feet to the street and I just walked up it to see how bad the paved road was as I have seen little traffic today .It is solid ice ,wont be going anywhere tomorrow .

[Ms Grumpy]

John, you and Joan need to be careful with all that ice. Stay inside and warm. Being where you are I hope that the temps will be going up soon and that it will all melt for you. Keep us informed on how you are doing.

[flash]

I dont plan on going anywhere til this crap is gone .

[carpoor]

It was 84 and sunny earlier today, then the rain and high winds came. (80-100 mph gusts) We've had a 30 degree temperature drop as a result.

[shadowgray396]

They keep saying it's going to be one of the worse ice storms in a long time.

[Ms Grumpy]

From what I am seeing on the news right now the people near John didn't learn from the last storm. Many people are stranded again.

[flash]

Traffic on my road has been very light ,mostly 4 wheel drives and ATV's ,we got a lot more snow during the night .

[BillsCamino]

I'm home.
Landed in ATL about 1pm. With temps in mid 40s, sunshine, and wind gusting to 30 mph this will all be gone soon.
The 38 mile drive from airport to home here in Marietta was simple...half the roads were dry, the others only wet from the meltdown.
Easily speed limit PLUS on the Interstates.

[flash]

Welcome back home Bill ,glad you made it home safely. The roads are finally clear here but still have a lot of snow on the roof and yard .I had to scrape the driveway with the tractor just to get out.

[Ken Hayes]

We're havin a heat wave here....27*.......pretty soon we'll be up to the freezing mark. Hope all this crap clears up soon......I wanna bring my car home in 43 more days from storage.

[flash]

It thawed out enough for us to visit the bodyshop today ,we just had to get out.

[shadowgray396]

Maybe that will be it for you now. Doesn't sound like you lost power from the storm in your area.

[Ken Hayes]

PLOWIN SNOW IN PITTSBURGH

On a bitterly cold winter morning a husband and wife in Pittsburgh were listening to the radio during breakfast. They heard the KDKA announcer say, "We are going to have 8 to 10 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the even-numbered side of the street, so the Snow plows can get through." So the good wife went out and moved her car.

A week later while they are eating breakfast again, the radio announcer said, "We are expecting 10 to 12 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the odd-numbered side of the street, so the snow plows can get through." The good wife went out and moved her car again.
The next week they are again having breakfast, when the radio announcer says, "We are expecting 12 to 14 inches of snow today. You must park..." Then the electric power went out. The good wife was very upset, and with a worried look on her face she said, "I don't know what to do. Which side of the street do I need to park on so the snow plows can get through?"

Then with the love and understanding in his voice that all men who are married to blondes exhibit, the husband replied, "Why don't you just leave the car in the garage this time."

[flash]

That is always a good one ....... We are finally seeing all this crap melting away but yes we were lucky not to lose power.

[shadowgray396]

Raining and almost 60 yesterday, but now the state is under a flood watch and land slides with all the rain we are getting. Snow levels on the hills are now at 70 percent of normal and a few weeks ago we are at 10 percent.

[Ms Grumpy]

Back into the 20's today. After a couple days flirting with temps in the low 30's anything that may have melted has now turned into ice. Kids have been telling me it is supposed to warm up next week. I don't even want to watch the weather anymore.

[BillsCamino]

Forecast calling for temps in the mid 70s by Thursday. What a difference one week makes!!!
I hope the weather is decent next weekend...we're taking 3 grandkids to the Mardi Gras parades in LA.

[Ken Hayes]

We are back to snowin again. Said we were supposed to get only a dusting today (its already 2 1/2" now and still comin down) with more wet and heavy snow comin tomorrow.

[RBeckman]

Oh boy, more snow today and they are saying 4"-6" on top of the 70" we already have. I need a bigger snow blower.

[Hank70SS]

10 in the morning here and it's 71*. Supposed to be in the upper 70's low 80's through the week. I'll be thinking of you guys up there and thinking I'm glad I'm here.

[shadowgray396]

Rain and more rain and more rain for us. Has decided to make up for lost time.The Hawaii
pineapple express has hit. More snow in the upper elevations by the end of the week. I don't think a water shortage will be a problem for us this summer now.

[flash]

Our weather is great at the moment ,sunny but cool breezes from time to time ,much better than snow.

[BillsCamino]

What a difference one week makes!!!
It's 71 degrees and sunny right now. I've got one little hold out pile of snow in a shadowed corner under some azalea bushes on the north side of the house...about enough for two decent sized snowballs. :)
Thinking about bagging it and put it in the freezer for this Summer.

[Ken Hayes]

With the 3"-5" of snow we got last night, that put us over 6' of snow in the Detroit area so far this winter. I think we are at the #3 spot in record snowfalls here and we aint done with winter yet.

[Ms Grumpy]

I haven't been outside today. But I know that when we got home at 4am this morning we had about 4" of new snow on the ground. My kids were not happy that they had to shovel more snow this morning because I had made arrangements for my daughter to pick up a treadmill at 10am.

With the temps being above freezing today and by Thurday it is supposed to be about 40. Then back down to freezing on Friday. So our biggest problem right now are ice dams on the roof. I will be out there tomorrow seeing what I can do to chip away at the problem. I am not the only one many of my neighbors are dealing with the same thing.

[smokenjoep01]

Great cruising weather here in the South. Not to hot, not to cold. Just perfect for a old carbureted V8
Went down to Myrtle Beach. I hear theres a big car show down there in the spring.

Joe ,Run To The Sun is probably the show you are talking about ,we have not been in several years but its a great show. If you go back down there check out Suck,Bang,Blow ,a little biker bar just out of town with a burnout pit out back. This is THE ONLY bar my wife has ever been to and its where we met our friends band called Silver Travis .When we were at the show the bar owner invited all the Hot Rods to come use their burnout pit and viewing is on top of the bar roof. AND DONT DRIVE ON THE BEACH ,take my advice on that one .

[flash]

I forgot to say yes our weather today was wonderful ,I came home from work and split firewood ,I wanted to get the convertible out so bad that I could not stand it.

[carpoor]

81* today, hardly a cloud in the sky. And wouldn't you know it... been slow at work going on 3 weeks now. Hoping things pick up again, I need that OT money.

[shadowgray396]

I worked today and might as well been in the shower. Came home soaken wet. But was in the 50's so it wasn't all that cold.

[Ken Hayes]

Last night at midnight when I went to bed it was the highest temp of the day 40*. Right now at noon its 40* CMON SPRING !!!!!!!!!!!

[Ms Grumpy]

The thermostat in the van must be broken. It said 46 today when I was in West Bloomfield. I know that can't be right because this is Michigan.

[flash]

Today was cloudy cut warm ,no complaints here.

[shadowgray396]

One more day of hard rain and we dry out for at least the weekend. Been flooding all over the area the last few days.

[Ken Hayes]

It was correct Nancy.

[Ken Hayes]

Today we are supposed to be in the mid 40's* with rain and high winds. WOW, talk about some crazy ass weather.......right now its 34*, it rained for about 30 seconds with thunder and all, and immediatly it turned to snow. Been snowin for less than 30 min. with thunder and we have almost 2" on the ground. This snow is really comin down hard and fast. Is this stuff ever gonna stop?

[flash]

Its mostly cloudy here with temps around 70 I would guess ,no thermometer ,but I like it. It may get stormy later tonight if their predictions ring true .

[Ms Grumpy]

We have over an inch on the ground. Now the weather stations are saying no rain today but 1-3 inches of snow. Maybe rain tonight. But high winds blowing up to 50 mph. Hang onto your hats boys, it is going to be a long night with that huge weeping willow in my back yard.

[Ms Grumpy]

I am mad. It was so windy today that it took my 3 recycling bins and blew them away. Someone got 3 nice recycling bins. Even though they have my address on them, I won't get them back. :(

[shadowgray396]

My momma told me... if you don't have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.

:grumpy::grumpy::grumpy::grumpy::grumpy::butt1:

Thats funny

[shadowgray396]

We finally had somewhat nice day. Rained all day yesterday. Looks like the weekend is going to stay dry until monday.

[carpoor]

It has been in the mid 80s the past few days, hot & sunny. Today the rain came around 1pm and hasn't let up since. It is supposed to rain all weekend, clearing Tuesday.

[Hank70SS]

Mid 80's here too. No rain yet but the humidity shot up yesterday. Had to turn the air on, don't like being in the motorhome with it all closed up and the air on but it's too hot in here without the air.

[BillsCamino]

Mid 70s here in LA today...great weather for tonight's Mardi Gras parade down in Lafayette!!

http://www.zwani.com/graphics/mardi_gras/images/mardigras3.gif

[Ken Hayes]

Hey Hank, come on home....you'll love it..........NOT!!!!

[RBeckman]

26 and plenty of snow here in Petosky Michigan, just got back from a 60 mile snowmobile trip...so I like the cold and snow for this weekend. Now rest and go out for a nice diinner and adult beverages.

[Ken Hayes]

Used to go to the UP in the mid to late 70's snowmobilin. Went from Paradise to Marquete and back in 1 day. All the guys had sliders except me, I had bogie wheels on a 74 Suziki XR400. Talk about gettin the crap beat out of ya.

EDIT: I just checked and by car its 284 miles. We were on anything but a road. Traveled alot on the Lake Superior shoreline when we could.

[flash]

We took the Malibu out and dropped the top and cruised a few hours so that should tell you how our weather was today .

[Ken Hayes]

Dang John, rub it in.......LOL. Well I guess next week we're down to single digit temps at night again.

[flash]

Thats for you sending us snow a while back ,but we definitely have spring fever .

[shadowgray396]

Cleaned up yard debris and mowed the lawn, Oh I mean moss. Little cool, but the sun was out.

[shadowgray396]

Another fun day working in the rain up by Seattle today. I was soaked by the time I got to my Hotel. Even rain gear didn't help today.

[Ms Grumpy]

I have been dealing with trying to get rid of the ice left by the snow melting last week when we had a couple days in the high 30's. Now we have the next week of temps that will all be below 20 degrees. Don't expect to see 20+ degrees until next Tuesday.

And now we have spotty snow showers. Would someone please let Mother Nature that we have suffered enough.

[carpoor]

Rain is back, tomorrow mid 60s and more rain. It was high 70s and low 80s Monday and Tuesday.

[flash]

Its 33 degrees here and getting colder ,wind was cold all day today .

[shadowgray396]

Seattle had 19 straight days of rain as of last monday. The last 2 days have finally been nice and almost 60 today. Going to be in the 40's by the weekend up here. I'm headed back down to Oregon on Friday but looks like rain over the weekend.

"This Is the City Hardest Hit By the Awful Winter
By David Winograd @davidwinogradFeb. 25, 2014"

Follow @TIME

"This winter has been among the worst in years for many parts of the U.S., but a new weather index finds that it’s been especially bad for one city in particular.

On a relative basis, Detroit is experiencing the most extreme weather of any city in the country, the Associated Press reported Tuesday. That report was based on an index created by National Weather Service meteorologist Barbara Mayes Boustead.

Boustead’s analysis, based on cold temperatures and snowfall, found that Detroit is in the middle of its harshest winter since 1950. Detroit has had 6.5 feet of snow so far this winter and 100 days of below-freezing temperatures.

New York, Milwaukee and Duluth, Minn. also topped Boustead’s extreme weather index—those cities are experience their fourth worst winters—while Minneapolis-St. Paul, Louisville and Cheyenne, Wyo. are experiencing winters that rank in their respective top 10 worst.

Much of Detroit’s extreme weather this winter can be attributed to geography and bad luck, the index’s co-creater Steve Hilberg explained, as a change in the jet stream has directed arctic winter air towards the city."

[shadowgray396]

We hit 61 today, but it poured most of the day. Looking like around 60 the rest of the week, but the rain is going to be here also. Mountain snow is going to start to melt so the rivers are going to rise even more then they are already.

[Ms Grumpy]

Ray are they predicting a lot of flooding in your area ??

Here we are still dealing with the frigid cold. But the weather man says that we might get into the the 30's. Above freezing....that is almost unreal for us.

[shadowgray396]

There is a good chance our local rivers are going to flood by the weekend. We are expecting between 2 to 4 inches of rain in the next 2 days with freezing levels being high in the mountains. Our 2 large rivers the Willamette and the Columbia are already starting to climb, but so far are below flood stage. Good chance we will have mud slides like California is having with all this rain. We are now caught up on the rain gauge for the year.

[Ms Grumpy]

So we hit about 20 today. The sun was shining and some of the ice that has built up since the last snow storm, is starting to melt off the roof. It is just so frustrating, I had all the ice off the roof and then after the snow the last time it built up a little bit. I just can't win !!

[flash]

It was nice and sunny here today with a high of about 60 degrees .

[carpoor]

Currently crappy, rainy, and 68*. Sitting on a job site waiting for another sub to get out of my way. And, hoping the rain will let up long enough for me to drag in my supplies.

[Ms Grumpy]

It looks like Friday might hit 39 or 40 degrees in Michigan. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

[flash]

Its cold and raining again here but at least it aint freezing ...................YET .

[carpoor]

Low 50s, windy, no sunshine, and just plain miserable today.

[flash]

This morning started with rain and cold but by noon it was sunny and almost warm .

[shadowgray396]

Still lots of rain here, it just poured at the beach today. Could even be outside for more then a few minutes without being soaked.

[flash]

Today is going to be convertible weather ,we are taking the old girl out to the country backroads .

[shadowgray396]

Have a fun day with the old girl, Lol

[shadowgray396]

Rain has come to an end finally. Looks like partly cloudy and about 60 the rest of the week. If I have to be home I'm glad the weather is going to get better. There saying 66 on Saturday and 71 on Sunday. I hope they are right. It will be time to get the Chevelle back out.

[carpoor]

Beautiful weather yesterday and today. Similar weather is expected the next two days. (temps in the low 80s) Supposed to be barely 70* Thursday, and low 70s Friday. I am so sick of this see saw weather we keep having. One day hot and sunny, then cold and rainy with no sun the next.

[Ken Hayes]

They say we're getting 4"-6" more snow starting Tues night............aint it ever gonna STOP

[flash]

We had another great weather day today ,sunny and warm .

[Ken Hayes]

Now they friggin updated it.........4"- 8.5" of more snow.

[Hank70SS]

Now they friggin updated it.........4"- 8.5" of more snow.

Glad I'm not there to enjoy it with you. Been in the upper 70's to mid 80's since we've been here. At home it's the winter that never ends, unbelievable weather this year.

[flash]

It was another top down day here .

[BillsCamino]

Yeah, great weather day for two plumbers to dig up a portion of my front yard and replace a section of "compromised" sewer pipe. :(

[Ms Grumpy]

Yeah, great weather day for two plumbers to dig up a portion of my front yard and replace a section of "compromised" sewer pipe. :(

Bummer......

[Ms Grumpy]

I have spent the past few days, and 100lbs of salt finding the end of my driveway. And now we are getting more snow and the friggin snow plows are going to deposit more ice at the end of my driveway. I am going nuts !!!

We are only about 10" away from being the snowiest winter on record. There are records that I would like to break, but not the snow record.

[shadowgray396]

Wow it has been a long winter for you. Spring is only a week away. We are going to be in the 60's the rest of the week.

[Ken Hayes]

Got to 54* today......rainin right now, at 11:00pm all the alert sirens went off, its 41* and droppin fast, will start snowin in a bit and not supposed to stop till tomorrow afternoon. OH WOOPIE

[Ken Hayes]

It started snowin during the night and boy did it snow. There is close to 6" of new snow on the ground and it don't look like its stopping any time soon. Judy left for work around 8:15am and at 9:00 you couldn't see the tire tracks in the driveway. Right now theres about a 2 1/2' drift in the driveway between the houses. I aint going out there till its done.

[shadowgray396]

Time for spring for you guys. You can't seem to get a break. So how much snow has melted since you were at 54? Has the grass even shown back up yet? I have to mow my grass today, it's getting long.

[RBeckman]

We have over 8 inches of snow on the ground right now and drifting and still snowing. I decided to work from home today for second day in a row and after it stops I then got two hours of snowblowing and shoveling at least get out the driveway. I'm done with this crap.

[flash]

We had rain move in last night ,its clearing now and going to get cold again but luckily no snow .

[BillsCamino]

The last time I left the country...y'all got three days of ice.
DON'T let that ever happen again John!!!!! I'm leaving tonight...:D

[flash]

Bill ,have a good trip and tell Liz and Liam hello from Joan and I ,and we will try to keep the snow and ice away .

[Ms Grumpy]

Safe travels Bill. This morning David and I decided to go out. I decided that there was too much snow on the van to get out the ice scraper so I just went into the garage and pulled out the push broom. It still took a few minutes because the snow was pretty heavy.

I was amazed at how much ice was built up under the snow. It was like driving down a dirt road, even on the expressway at 10am. We traveled at about 45 mph and people were flying past me, and we saw at least 4 cars on the embankment after they had spun out.

I am not sure how much snow we got, but it was too much. lol I had just gotten the front of the garage cleaned up and was going to pull the Toyota out, it hasn't seen the light of day since the beginning of December. I don't drive it much in the snow so we put it in the garage while the Malibu is in storage. But now I have to make sure that there is no snow in front of the garage again. But I hear we might be in the 40's by Friday. Welcome to Michigan !!

[Ken Hayes]

Nancy, we got over 6.5" last night and today. All we need now before the 1st day of Spring is 3.1" more snow and we will break the record of 96.3" in 1880/81.

The temp now is 14* and the wind chill is 1* and its supposed to get colder tonight.

[BillsCamino]

A little foggy and 49 degrees here in Dublin @ 4:30pm...4 hr time difference right now.
They don't do Daylight Savings for a few weeks yet.

[shadowgray396]

Have a safe trip.

[BillsCamino]

Nice day in Dublin. Took my wife on her annual Dublin shopping spree on Grafton St today. :D
The town is really geared up for St. Patty's Day on Monday.
I'm fortunate enough to be able to drive my buddy Liam's '72 Chevelle SS in the parade again this year...leading the club's collection of American Muscle cars viewed by a crowd of thousands.
Club gives out over 2,200 green beaded necklaces and over 200 stuffed animals that I bring over from the States.
Always a BIG hit with the crowd!!!

[flash]

I look forward to Liam's pictures ,he always takes the best pics .Have a good time while there .

[shadowgray396]

That sounds like a great time.

[carpoor]

Currently 60* here, waiting for it to warm up just a little bit more. (10* more) Then, time to thrash on the car the rest of the day.

[BillsCamino]

Sunny, relatively warm for this time of the year (low 60s) but WINDY!!

Spent the day in Northern Ireland...checked out the Peace Wall that separated the Catholics & Protestants, toured the Titanic museum in Belfast and stopped in to view St. Patrick's burial site in Downpatrick.

[flash]

It was a nice warm day here ,didnt go to the Canton cruise in ,was dissappointed not to have my truck back.

[shadowgray396]

Going to be in the 60's this weekend and sunny.

[Ken Hayes]

Right now its 30*, sun shining, warmin up and gonna be a pretty day (just a bit cold).

As long as its not raining on Sunday March 30th, I plan on bringing the Chevelle home from storage on Monday the 31st...........hope it don't rain or snow!!!!!!!!!!! Even if I leave it in storage for a couple of days into April, I would have to pay for the whole month...I don't wanna do that.

[flash]

It is very nice here today ,clear and sunny with a high of 70 forcast .

[shadowgray396]

Maybe 70 here on Monday, that would be nice.

[shadowgray396]

Was 70 yesterday, but back to rain for the rest of the week.

[chevymaher]

60 yesterday. Snow today and 17 tonight.

[flash]

It's DAMN COLD .

[BillsCamino]

It's DAMN COLD .

Not for long...but then turning wet for the weekend. Which is OK...I've got plenty to keep me busy between building a new kitchen and Chevelle drivetrain swap projects.:D

[shadowgray396]

More rain for us into next week. Headed north next week. I will be not that far from where the slide was in Washington.

[Ms Grumpy]

Hail, snow, rain, sleet, snow and rain again. That is how today went around here. Welcome to Michigan. But it did reach 40 degree today. WooHoo !!! lol

[carpoor]

Was supposed to reach 75* today, I highly doubt it ever got warmer than 68-69 degrees though. It was overcast and sprinkled a few times throughout the day.

Tomorrow - 80* and 40% chance for afternoon showers.

[shadowgray396]

2 to 4 inches of rain expected the next 2 days.

[Ken Hayes]

Nancy, the sidewalks barely got damp here at the house. Its supposed to get warmer from now until I get up around 8:00.

[shadowgray396]

Still raining around here. Looks like another week of rain on and off again this week.

[Ms Grumpy]

Wasn't a bad day around here. Started out a little chilly but warmed up. I am sure that Ken will have a 50 degree day to get his car out of storage. :) also jealous !

[flash]

It was sunny and warm here today .

[SS Shaun]

we had a freak snow storm last night. we all thought it was going to be rain even the weather channel called for rain. i got 3 inches and other places got as much as 10 inches and now its 48 degrees and sunny...lol

[flash]

It is perfect weatherwise today ,sunny and warm ,convertible weather .If the truck dont come home today Im breaking the convertible out .

[Ms Grumpy]

It was in the 50's today. Looks like Ken must have had a great day with his car since he didn't post here.

[flash]

Im jealous of Ken ,his came home ,mine did not.

[Ken Hayes]

It turned out being 57 yesterday. John, we're all rootin for your truck to come home. They've had it way too long.

[shadowgray396]

It turned out being 57 yesterday. John, we're all rootin for your truck to come home. They've had it way too long.



Amen to that.

[flash]

Thanks guys ,mine is coming home today ......................................I hope .

[shadowgray396]

Made mid 60 today, and sounds like 70 tomorrow with mid 70's maybe by next weekend.

[flash]

Its a rainy day in Ga ,we need that Ark that WildBill was building ,boy has it ever rained the last several hours and more to come .

[chevymaher]

I am ready "Not Now But Right Now" and it is raining.

[flash]

Ready for what ? Im ready for warm and dry weather again ,this rain sux.

[carpoor]

Cold front coming through tomorrow, and rain as well. Was nearly 90* the past few days.

[chevymaher]

Ready for what ? Im ready for warm and dry weather again ,this rain sux.

To start priming the car. It is ready. But it was raining down sideways outside. Open the door for the blower and it would be blowing water right on the car. Now I got work coming so later this week i hope.

[Ms Grumpy]

Today started out really dreary and now it is raining. It may be 47 degrees but no more rain !! or snow !! or anything wet coming from the sky !!!!

[Ken Hayes]

Dethatched the lawn today. After Judy got home I BBQ'd some ribeyes, got done just as it started to rain.

[shadowgray396]

Weather going to be around 70 tomorrow. Time to go to a car show.

[shadowgray396]

74 today and I'm sweating working in the yard.

[flash]

It was mid 70's here and partly cloudy but perfect cruisin weather .

[shadowgray396]

Get weather to get some yard work done today. Mowed the lawns, edge and trim some on the hedge. Also rototilled some of the flower beds for flowers in a few weeks. Hit 75 today. Going to last a few more days, then the rain is back.

[chevymaher]

LOL cut the grass yesterday and burnt the winter branches from the trees that fell off. 85 degrees. Tonight it supposed to snow. What is that. Then back to 50 tomorrow.

[flash]

We are getting some light rain today which is fine by me ,hope it washes some of this pollen away .Everything is glowing yellow here .

[chevymaher]

Wow it was 85 degrees the other day. Woke up and there is a inch of snow on the ground and cars.

[BillsCamino]

Cold weather needs to stay up North!!
Predicting 30 degrees and frost here tonight. Was low 80s all last weekend.

[flash]

Rainy ,windy and cold today and as Bill said its going to get colder tonight . Im building a fire tonight .

[Ken Hayes]

Yesterday it was 72, day before it was 80. Last night we finally set a brand new all time record of snow for a season. In 1880/81 we set a record of 93.3" we are now at 94.8". 133 year record shattered.........NOW GET THE HELL OUTA HERE !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ken Hayes]

In the 2nd pic, that small dark thing in the driveway is one really confused Robin.

[flash]

Ya'll can keep that white stuff .

[Ken Hayes]

Right this minute its 30* and we have a white-out condition. I can barely see the house across the street. I need a drink.

[Ken Hayes]

Now it stopped and the sun is out full bore. Man I hate Michigan.

[Ms Grumpy]

I know it is crazy Ken. I took my kids to school at 7am and spent 10 minutes scrapping ice off of the van. Had I been smart I would have started the Toyota (remote start) and been able to just wipe the snow off. Crazy.

Worst part is that I wanted to go and get my car this week. Mother Nature just hates me.

My van and the chevelle hog up the heated garage. I won't drive the van in nasty weather. It is a custom and my other baby. Pregnant chevelle.
I park the truck next to the door and run a space heater in it. Keeps the ice and snow off except the nastiest weather. Below 10 degrees or so.
Global warming is killin us here with these record breaking low temps and snow.

[carpoor]

It was high 40s on Wed morning here. Cloudy and low 70s today, plenty of rain this evening. Supposed to clear up tomorrow and hit 78*. Easter Sunday is supposed to be mid 80s and sunny. (This will be the first Sunday I have had off from my 2nd job in 10 weeks)

[shadowgray396]

Light rain tomorrow and sunny on Easter Sunday, about 68. Then rain returns next week.

[flash]

It has been a long rainy day in Ga ,started early this morning and has not stopped yet .I had the day off as a paid holiday and my wife took a vacation day with hopes of driving the convertible ,didnt happen .I had 4 huge oak trees taken down yesterday and planned to work on them tomorrow but its going to be rainy again tomorrow .

[shadowgray396]

Rain here, but looks like Denver is going to be around 70 next week while I'm there.

[shadowgray396]

Raining hard tonight in Denver, delayed our night mission for the scan truck.

[chevymaher]

I am ready but the weather says Ah No You Are Not. It is chilly and raining. But tomorrow says 75 and sunny. Maybe I can spray this jamb and window tracks and move on.

[Hank70SS]

Rain here today, in the 40's. Should be around 60 and that's not in the long range forecast, only the 50's.

[Ms Grumpy]

Rain Rain go away. The forcast looks like chilly with rain almost everyday for the next week. Frustrating....

[carpoor]

It's been sunny and in the upper 80s lately. Supposed to be sunny and 90* + today! It's going to be a hot summer.

[shadowgray396]

75 here in Denver today, but rain and a chance of snow tonight. Glad I'm heading home tonight to Oregon.

[shadowgray396]

Been in the 80's up here in Seattle Washington area. Looks like rain for the weekend and most of next week.

[flash]

Looks like Ga is going to get a nice weekend .

[carpoor]

Lots of rain! :mad: I have been getting soaked pretty much every afternoon. So glad I only have one more week of this. (I gave my two weeks notice this past Monday)

[Ms Grumpy]

We were supposed to get rain here today, but it turned into a nice day in the 50's. Hopefully we will see the 60's some day soon.

[chevymaher]

All I want to know is when is this global warming going to hit. It should be in the 80's here by now. It in the 60's with overnite lows in the low 40's This is feb weather.
All I can say is thank god for global warming or we would freeze to death around here.

[shadowgray396]

Rain today. Low turnout at the cruise in today. Chevelle stayed in the garage, but still went out and looked at the cars and passed out fliers to our show.

[carpoor]

Yesterday was miserable and rainy. At one point I saw 59* yesterday afternoon. Today is sunny and wonderful.

[flash]

Weather could not have been better yesterday and today ,sunny and breezy and warm . Took the truck to the PeachState Chevelle show yesterday and went cruising in the Chevelle convertible today ,great weekend .

[shadowgray396]

Looks like rain this weekend so the Chevelle most likely won't leave the garage again for a car show. I guess I need to be home to drive it. Going to be a car show up north where I'm at so maybe I will drop in for lunch to at least see the cars.

[flash]

Ita a rainy night in Ga and expect more tomorrow .

[shadowgray396]

Rain, hail, lighting and thuinder and sun breaks was the weather today in the seattle area. They say its going to dry out by tomorrow. I hope so.

[shadowgray396]

75 to 80 at least til friday here in Seattle area. Very nice weather.

[BillsCamino]

75 to 80 at least til friday here in Seattle area. Very nice weather.

Good...hope it stays like that Ray!!
We're heading to Seattle in a couple weeks...departure port for a week long Alaska cruise beginning the 8th of June.
Probably fly up a couple days before. Haven't been in that area in a few years although have spent many days at Boeing Everett in the past.
Might even try to get over to Triple XXX Rootbeer for a bite.:)

[Ms Grumpy]

So glad to be back home. South Carolina is hot and so muggy compared to what I am used to here in Michigan. I love the landscape and the Smokey Mountains. It is just too hot for me.

[shadowgray396]

Got to go to Pike Place Market in Seattle if you come up early. The flying fish market. Also if you do come up early I might be in the area, would love to me you in person.

[BillsCamino]

Also if you do come up early I might be in the area, would love to meet you in person.

:cool:
That would be great Ray...I'll keep ya posted on our plans.

[shadowgray396]

Weather has been in the 60 and 70's in the Seattle area this week. No Rain.

[Ms Grumpy]

Monday was a really nice day. I got the shed cleaned out and put up 2 of my canopys and power washed them. I had put them away wet when we came back from South Carolina and it was the first opportunity that I had to clean them up. I also cleaned out the garage cause I was bringing my car home.
Tuesday was a decent day too, a little warmer with some rain in the low 70's. Today started out wet and we were supposed to have some rain but it never showed up. It was a little warmer, mid 70's and pretty muggy.

But from what the weather man says...the next 4 or 5 days are supposed to be beautiful in Michigan. I am hoping he is right, we deserve it after the Arctic Freeze this past winter.

[Hank70SS]

Pretty good storm went through in the middle of the night. They were calling for up to 70 mph straight line winds. Looks like they got some just a mile south of us, lots of tree down. We just a have a bunch of small sticks down, nothing big. We did lose power though. I reported it around 6 AM and still no estimate. DTE Energy, our electric company, has around 140,000 customers without power in SE Michigan. We could be out a day or two. Not as densely populated here as some of the other areas that out so of course we're a lower priority.

[flash]

We have been having thunderstorms about daily for as long as I can remember but nothing damaging like in your area .Im ready for some drought ,my garden is drowning ,my tomatoes have blossom rot and it wont dry up enough for me to spray them and trying to keep my yard mowed is impossible .But we did get to go cruisin in the vert on sunday before the storms hit.

[chevymaher]

It so hot and humid here. I been getting everything ready. Painting then open the doors and start the fan to air it out. At daybreak. So I can shut the doors and turn the air back on before it is hot upstairs. 75 degrees and 90% humidity at dawn.
It is a nice cool 90 right now.

[Quadracer392]

I feel ya man! I'm just next state over and it's hotter than the hubs of He!! I hate going to the garage to work on the car or anything else cause after about 20 mins you might as well have stood in the rain. I've been looking for an A/C unit to put in there and I think I'm going to put the trigger on something by the weekend.

[flash]

If my shop was air conditioned I would probably live in it .

[chevymaher]

I got air down there. I got cable and TV, stereo and computer with internet. I do live down there alot. I got the Tim the Tool Man Taylor thing jumping off.

[carpoor]

Tropical Storm headed our way... lingering just off the coast currently.

[Quadracer392]

Well I figure if I get AC down there I'll at least have a cool place to sleep if I make the wife mad. Plus I spend most of my evenings in there and I can't stand being hot and sweaty when I'm trying to work on things.

Hope you guys don't get hit to bad carpoor.....are they expecting it to become a hurricane?

[shadowgray396]

Hit 97 today, been in the upper 70's. Cool down tomorrow to 80.

[Ms Grumpy]

Be safe Carpoor.

Today was not as muggy but it was still pretty warm.

[carpoor]

Looks like it will be North Carolina's problem and not ours. We dodged a bullet.

[Hank70SS]

Looks like it will be North Carolina's problem and not ours. We dodged a bullet.

Sorry for the people in the Carolinas,but good for you.

High was only 73 today, some rain this morning but sunny now. We got power back around 4PM Monday. They sent me a text around 5PM with a repair estimate of 11:30PM? Yesterday power went out just south of us. Knocked out our TV and internet. Earlier today Comcast and ATT both had portable generators feeding their relay boxes to get people back online. Don't know if the power is back but we have power, TV and internet so all is good.

[shadowgray396]

Weather was in the 70's today. Finally planted some flowers around the house. Haven't been home much to get them in. Better late then never. Now if I can just get my wife to water them while I'm gone.

[shadowgray396]

Going to be around a 100 by the end of the wek.

[Hank70SS]

Rained over night, hot and humid today. 85 and dew point around 70. Feeling a little better now, humidity must be going down. Hate the humidity, heat is one thing but the humidity is a killer.

[Ken Hayes]

Hank, don't forget that that sun is very extreme this year.

[Ms Grumpy]

Hank I have to ask if you got a call from DTE thanking you for your patience with the power outage. We did and we never lost power.

It was pretty muggy today, and of course I decided to do some yard work. I had my grand daughter here and she was so full of energy I had to try to find someway to wear her out. But an 8 yr old has endless energy. She wore me out after having her for 4 days this grandma is tuckered.

[Hank70SS]

No call from DTE, just glad they got the power back on. Seriously looking at a Honeywell 15KW automatic standby generator at Costco. $3,500. Have to find out what installation would cost but I'm considering it. We lose power too often and the small portable generator is getting to be a pain.

[flash]

Hank, I would love to have a generator like you are thinking about getting ,we have one on campus here for the presidents home and it seems to do a great job when needed .

[shadowgray396]

Looks like the east half of the US will have unseasonable cool weather next week and the west coast is expect to be around 100. It's called the Polar Vortex. Our heat wave starts Friday and will run for the next week.

[flash]

Our weather has been better lately ,hot but with much less rain ,I like it.

[Hank70SS]

Hank, I would love to have a generator like you are thinking about getting ,we have one on campus here for the presidents home and it seems to do a great job when needed .

I'd love one too. The people behind us have one, Two neighbors across the side street have them. Guy around the corner just ordered one and there are others scattered around the neighborhood. The portable generator does the job, if you have gas. Hard to keep the 5 gallon jugs full when you have to cut the grass every 4-5 days. Going out to fill it and hook it up in the rain or a foot of snow isn't a lot of fun either.

[shadowgray396]

Heat wave is here for the next week or so. Going to be around 100 til wednesday.

[Hank70SS]

Our high on Tuesday is supposed to be in the 60's?

[Ken Hayes]

We were supposed to get nailed with a hell of a storm during the night last night..........didn't happen. All we ended up with was just a shower. Today was supposed to be that same storm.....dry and just overcast.........oh well not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth.

[chevymaher]

90 degrees and high humidity so far. Family reunion and a church festival at the same place. Jr don't know it yet but he is looking forward to riding ferris wheels and other stuff.
We get there at 3 and T-Storms scheduled for 4 on. So if we get some rides in early. Once the rain starts we can sit eat and chew the fat with everybody.
Just trying to make the best of it.

[shadowgray396]

Lighting and thunder with rain just moved in. Drop the temps to around 70's

[flash]

Our weather the last two days has been great ,low humidity and temps in the 80's ,more like a september day than July.

[Ms Grumpy]

We have had some beautiful days here too. Low to mid 70's low humidity, just beautiful. Gave me a chance to get caught up with some yard work.

[shadowgray396]

We are not used to having days in the 90's all the time. We have already had more 90 degree days this year then we have all summer. We only get about 10 a year. Most of the time we stay in the 80's.

[flash]

Today was a mostly rainy day with temps very nice in the low 70's ,just very light rain. More rain expected for the next week.

[Ms Grumpy]

Another nice day today and I was stuck doing things for hubby and not taking my car out. :(

[Ken Hayes]

Went to a show in Farmington then off to Bakers.

[shadowgray396]

This is over the top today. You think I moved to Phoenix Az. This is in Oregon, did someone move the state? Going to be like this all week.

[flash]

We are having lower humidity and temps in the mid 80's with some very nice breezy days ,Im loving it.

[Ms Grumpy]

Temps have been pretty nice for the past few days. Just random downpours.

[shadowgray396]

Another 104 day, but humidity is only at 25%

[flash]

Our weather has been wonderful lately ,cool temp of 59 degrees this morning ,very low for July .

[shadowgray396]

Day 6 of over 100 degrees, with no end in site. I'm working till next thursday in this stuff. It was 74 at 5:30 this morning when I went to work.

[shadowgray396]

Looks like another week of 100 degree temps. Fires are burning now all over the west coast area. We had thunder and lighting storm come through saturday night.

[mestorod70]

98 Dees grees constant showers and thunder storms.
Humidity at 75% is it mid September yet.

[shadowgray396]

Finally heading home where it has been around 80 this week. spent the last 10 days working in 100 plus degree days. I beat and ready to go home.

[BillsCamino]

Seems to ALWAYS get hotter weather here AFTER the kids go back to school. :(
Mid 90s today...

[flash]

Hot and sticky here today.

[Hank70SS]

Humidity is down temps close to 80, finally some nice weather. We had over a week of storms in the afternoon after things heated up.

[Ms Grumpy]

The weather has been really nice for the garden. Huge cucumbers and tomatoes when I got back from the NOCC show. I am just hoping that we have nice weather for the next 2 weeks. Let's make it past the WWDC and Back to the Bricks.

[Hank70SS]

Yup, another perfect day. Went with Lynda to Milford Memories, was getting a little warm near the end. Probably walked 2 miles but couldn't ask for a nicer day.

[BillsCamino]

Pretty noisy storm come thru here this afternoon...heavy rain, lots of boom-booms and tornado sirens.

[flash]

We didnt get the tornado sirens up here but lots of thunder and rain .

[Ms Grumpy]

I just turned my air off because it is supposed to get down to 55 tonight. Nice sleeping weather. Then it should be around 80 for the next few days. David and I were sitting on the porch tonight and he said it felt like a September night.

[carpoor]

Hot and humid... no end in sight. :(

[shadowgray396]

102 for Monday here, we have wild fires burning all over the state now. Extreme dry for us also.

[Hank70SS]

Yesterday was interesting. Over 6" of rain in some areas around Detroit. Took our son around 3 hrs to get home. He was on the Lodge freeway, had to get off because it was closed. Got on the Davison to try to get to I-96, had to get off. Made via surface streets to I-96 then had to get off. Took Plymouth Rd to Telegraph to M-5 and finally back to I-96.

I-696 and I-75 is still under water. The water in the underpass was up to the bridge, around 14'. Every freeway in the area was closed at some point due to flooding and many are still closed. Some may be closed for days while they move all the abandoned cars out and clean up the mud and crud on the freeway. I think they said 32 cars were under water just at the I-696 - I-75 interchange.

Hope no one in area had any basement flooding. We didn't get the heavy rains here, Livingston county was one of the few without flood warnings.

[Ken Hayes]

We live about 20 min from Detroit Metro Airport. Yesterday Judy and I had to pick up someone that came in from China. His plane was about 35 min late and it took us over 2 1/2 hrs to get back home. Got home to about 5" water in the basement. Spent around 4 to 5 hrs cleanin up that. Didn't get to bed till 3 this morning..........boy was I beat.

[flash]

We have been having the normal afternoon thunderstorms off and on but nothing like what ya'll are talking about .The worst thing we are dealing with is the high humidity ,very sticky out and about.

[Hank70SS]

Sorry to hear that Ken, a flooded basement is no fun. Had to clean one up at my mom's condo when she lost power and the sump pump wasn't running. Had to clean one up here when the pressure tank sprung a leak, we have well. In both cases the water was clean, no sewer backup but still a mess. Hope all is well now.

Still a lot of roads under water here, abandoned cars all over that place. Can't blame the owner's, can't go forward, can't back up, water rising. Leave it and save yourself.

On the news right now, they have divers looking for people trapped, no doubt dead, in their cars under water on the freeways.

[RBeckman]

3321

This says it all

[Ken Hayes]

Mine wasn't any sewer water comin in (thank God). I have deep window wells in the back yard and one of them has a sump pump in it that stopped working, so the water seeped through..........guess I gotta get out the UGL Waterproofer Paint and give it another coat.

[flash]

What a difference a day makes ,lower humidity and lower temps today .

[flash]

Our humidity is coming back but the morning temps have been wonderful here ,seems like fall in the mornings and back to summer in the evenings.

[Hank70SS]

Been like that here too. Upper 40's to low 50's overnight, feels like September not August. I think we've only used the AC a couple times all summer.

[shadowgray396]

They said the east side would have a cool summer and we would be hot. Looks like the weather person was right for once. We have been hot and dry now for over two months. My water bill has been higher then it has every been.

[Ms Grumpy]

I am wondering what this fall is going to bring with the cool summer we have had. Usually August is in the high 80's and 90's. We have been in the 70's and low 80's. I just am hoping that what Mother Nature does this winter is nothing like last winter.

[shadowgray396]

From what I have read it might be another cold winter on the east coast to midwest. Most likely not the record snow fall you had last year.

[Ms Grumpy]

It has been pretty humid around here lately. The temps have been in the high 70's and low 80's. Today should be in the low 80's again with lots of humidity. Usually August in Michigan is in the 80's-90's. We should hit the 90's for a day or two this week and then back to the low 70's.

I don't know if everyone else is having some really strange weather also.
