LSD, indeed: a really "bad trip."

[jeremyp]

How are you Aussies doing? Any news on that Cat 5 Cyclone? You guys have been hammered in the last year. Good luck mates.

Well there ain't no road just like it, anywhere I've found,
Runnin' south on Lake Shore Drive, headin' into town.
Just slippin' on by on L.S.D., Friday night trouble bound.

School closed for a third straight day tomorrow for almost all of Dallas and Fort Worth. Hard for the ice to melt if the high temperature is 18 and its cloudy. Shoot,I don't remember missing three consecutive days of school growing up in southern Kansas where we had some pretty decent snow storms.

[lonewolf]

The biggest snow storm I have experienced was April 1957... don't remember the official inches but I was snowbound in motel in Greensburg, Ks for five days.
The longest cold spell was Alberta, Canada 1968-69, 62 consecutive days when temp did not rise above 0 F.. lowest overnight temp -70F......got up to -40 F the next day.... we suspended seismic operations ...I did not go outside that day...

Day four of no school here. Received this email today which I considered a bit humorous. Found a copy of it online here http://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/foru ... hread.aspx

71F here yesterday. After two weeks of intermitent sub-zero lows, it was heaven.

Same story here - 59 and sunny. First time on the road bike since November.

Does not matter C or F at the reading.

Wisconsin has been colder than average with only two brief episodes above freezing since the beginning of December but now we are getting an extended warm spell. I skied 10miles Sunday and then road bikes with my 8-year old on Monday, ran yesterday lightly-clad (for February), and took a hike with him this morning at Picnic Point. We had a huge snow pack that has covered the ground since the beginning of December but it might melt out substantially before turning cooler on the weekend (and the more ground that gets uncovered, the warmer it gets).

[Pego]

In 40 years of living in central Wisconsin, the coldest it has gotten was -35F (-37C).

Maybe he was talking degrees Kelvin...Which would be mighty cold!

It's been so warm in WI that literally thousands of people have been outside cheering a Walker for two days. MJR would be proud.

It was 75 on the SF Peninsula for Super Bowl Sunday; today there's snow on the foothills.

[SQUACKEE]

59 a few days ago, this mornings run, 15 and very windy

You call that living?

Seems pretty toasty up there, so much so that your Walker has some of your legislators cooling off in other states.

We are supposed to get a foot of snow in the next 12-24 hours. Ufff. It has not started yet.

[26mi235]

The storm track move slightly north so that we got some week snow/sleet followed by some cold (almost freezing) rain. Still, the ground had warmed up enough several days back that the stuff is not freezing on contact most places so it is just mushy. Also, the melt meant that you could push the stuff to the side with a hard shove and did not have to lift it most of the time. If it was all snow we would already have 6-9 inches; suspect that this will be the case for Pego with more to come.

San Francisco is rainy today, but Friday night/Saturday projected to get snow down to sea level for first time since '76 (and only about the 10th time in recorded history). Then a sunny Sunday, then back to rain Monday.

And I'll be at 5000 feet in Albuquerque, with higher temperatures and probably less snow!

My house is at about 1200 feet and they are talking potentially six inches of snow. Having a big family gathering tomorrow- I may have to shuttle folks up the hill in my truck. This would definitely be a first for us . . .

[Daisy]

Here's some advice. Don't aim for the face with the snowballs, it wrecks the fun.

Here in Wisconsin we're in full thaw. It' almost like spring.

Oh so close, but just a bunch of chilly air. No rain, no snow. Water went south.

Not sure I would say spring, it has been in the teens all afternoon and snowing lightly but steadily the entire 2-hour hike in the Arb and since. There was also a fresh thin layer on Lake Wingra when I skied this morning.

If I can be outside without gloves, that counts as spring. Call me an optimist

Maybe you can be outside without gloves (a few minutes does not count, neither does it if they are in pockets instead) -- not me. I did get to spend 4.5 hours skiing in parts of the Arb this weekend.

BREAKING NEWS:

Just saw my first snow drop this morning. And a Blue Jay!

[gh]

does a tornado warning on the San Francisco Peninsula count as acting funny?

"Everybody funny. Now you funny, too."

Didn't know I was going to get a reference from my all-time favorite George Thorogood song when I came into this thread today . . .

They cancelled my daughter's track meet today -- it is 33 and sleeting with wind chill of 22 and it does not feel that warm. I just checked my watch and it says that it is the second half of April -- time to get a new watch?

This truly sucks. We are supposed to get 3-6'' of snow. The spring just doesn't want to arrive .

Wrath of God-type rain here

And it just keeps coming and coming. The Ohio River is already sitting just a couple feet below flood stage before this morning's 2+ inches, with even more due overnight tonight and tomorrow. Once this stuff hits upstream and starts flowing our way things will get mighty interesting downtown along the river.

As I said in another thread I picked a good year for a coaching sabbatical lol
