the weather thread

[icarus]

Here we can discussed the weather we all have. At the moment we have a huge storm. 3 deaths already. It's dangerous to go outside. All trains are canceled. a satellite dish was blown awayand landed behind my apartment.
How's the weather overthere

[Deloria]

We have hurricane winds and it's quite rainy as well, but it's hardly dangerous and I was having an awesome time watching the storm before.

[Yonkey]

Yikes... hurricanes?

The weather's not so bad today.  We had the first actual snowfall a few days ago.  It was blistering cold the next day and the day after.

[icarus]

becomes very jealous. You've got snow??

searches for a new job nearby the snow 

[tessspoon]

It stopped snowing here hours ago. My snow is all melted. Now it's just cold and yucky.

[Deloria]

Yikes... hurricanes?

Well, extremely strong winds that are often referred to as hurricanes, yes. Along with a bunch of rain.

I'm also jealous about the snow!

[tessspoon]

Hope they don't do much damage.

[Yonkey]

A lot of the snow on the streets and sidewalks have turned into disgusting black slush, so I doubt you'd really be jealous of all that.

But that's pretty horrible about the hurricane force winds.  We've had some really strong winds a few times in the past, and they're certainly not fun to be in... combined with rain.. ugh.

[Deloria]

Hope they don't do much damage.

Nah, one just has to watch out for stray branches and one will generally be fine. It's really not that bad.

But the rain is more than slightly annoying if one's in it as I found out earlier today, but the storms are fun to watch.

As for the slush, I actually am a bit jealous. This is the first Winter through which I've gone when it hasn't snowed at all.

[Yonkey]

I was perfectly fine with there being no snow whatsoever until now!

Oh well, at least it hasn't gotten to the bitterly cold and freezing winds yet.  When it's slightly cold outside and there's snow I don't mind, but when it's -20 to -40, it's really disgusting.

[tessspoon]

It's really not that bad.

That's good. The one in the Netherlands sounds pretty bad, though.

Oh well, at least it hasn't gotten to the bitterly cold and freezing winds yet.  When it's slightly cold outside and there's snow I don't mind, but when it's -20 to -40, it's really disgusting.

*Can't imagine living somewhere so cold*

I hope everyone is OK over there.

But the rain is more than slightly annoying if one's in it as I found out earlier today, but the storms are fun to watch.

I enjoy watching and listening to storms too.

No it wasn't a hurricane but it did have hurricane force winds. 105 mph

Well I'm safe (even after the satelite incident).
And in the end there are 5 deaths. Loads of people had to stay at the stations since all train traffuc was canceled. A colega of mine slept at his desk since he couldn't get home. I woke him up this morning 

Only lots of material damege. I hope all train trafic will be normal today since I want to go to my bro's birthday party.

RAIN! Oh rain, thou has blessed us!

We got so much rain today, there were actually puddles you could jump in and make splashes with.

We haven't see this much rain for maybe over a year.

[Deloria]

It's being referred to as Hurricane Kyrill over here, so I don't know. But they're force winds more than anything else.

[Gilgamesh]

Ice-wintertires=no driving today
Lucky me No snow has fallen yet!

The wind has caused a lot of damage, and I also heard about two trees falling on a house in Beguim.
So just to be sure, CC are you all right?

[tessspoon]

I drove home today to stay for the weekend. I opened the freezer door and found a big snowball with "Hot Stuff" written on it from yesterday that my sister decided to name and keep. 

[Jafar]

Careful...she might be saving it to throw at you in the summer when nobody would expect it.

Strange! I wonder why they would do that? It wasn't cyclonic nor was the water temperatures right for one to develop. I don't understand that.

lol, that's hilarious Tess! The only thing here is cold weather. The higher elevations get snow, but us? nope!
