Cat O'Falk 3,290 Posted January 26, 2016 Good news Cat O'Falk - your spiders should go back into hiding by Tuesday/Wednesday if you're north of Birmingham and Friday anywhere else. Yeah they did but the buggers are back and in my bath. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadGuy 1,614 Posted April 3, 2016 Spring in Chicago - a shitty time of year. Yesterday was the weirdest weather I done ever experienced. All day it was a weird pattern. Cloudy with flurries/light snow, then sunny but windy. There were literally 10 separate snowfalls separated by periods of sunshine that melted anything that stuck. Today was nice. 70°F and sunny. I went to play tennis like any white person would do. Cold, cloudy tomorrow, more snow in a few days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadGuy 1,614 Posted April 18, 2016 Past couple of days have been sunny and in the upper 70s/low 80s. But starting tomorrow it's going to be back in the upper 50s/low 60s and rainy for over a week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarolAnn 926 Posted July 7, 2016 For those of you who missed my screenshot on Facebook, at 2:30pm today the effective temperature in my neck of the Great Plains was 109F. Just thought I'd share. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bless you, I've noted 105f in Tenerife and that really was too much.Just checked the UK hottest being 98f. But could you imagine 51 degrees C in India? That's 124f...

charon 4,943 Posted July 9, 2016 CA, I took a washing in today and it was still soaking. I had put it out to dry.....last Monday. (Can't leave it till tomorrow, ah , notices time, 'today' , as the neighbours wouldn't like it out on a Sunday). Fantastic April/May but it's been shite ever since.

CarolAnn 926 Posted July 9, 2016 We currently have storms. Lightning and high wind. My husband just got done cutting apart a tree that fell on my sister's house. I have no power. Why the fuck do I live in Texas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why the f**k do I live in Texas? Because you can openly walk down the street with your bazookas on display. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charon 4,943 Posted July 10, 2016 A/ been smarter to cut the tree afore it fell.... B/ because it's nearer Mexico than New York? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarolAnn 926 Posted July 10, 2016 Funny thing about 60mph straight line winds - they take down whatever they want. If it hadn't been that tree, it woukd have been the other one. I'm generally grateful when they all don't go flying. And I'm way past the age where people want to see my bazookas. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted August 13, 2016 6.07" of rain by 8am, have had four flash flood warnings including 30 minutes ago as it hasn't stopped raining virtually all day. Didn't hear an updated forecast but I have to imagine at least 9" of rain today, roads and areas underwater etc. and Hurricane Gustav dumped a total of only 7.5" in two days, by comparison.

Still amazes me that someone named John Edwards could get elected after the stigma of the previously scorned Presidential candidate, which I guess accounts for the BEL in JBE just to clarify 'I'm not the a-hole guy'. Still, surprising he prevailed. He seems a decent chap fwiw. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
