Funky weather

[AndyK]

I have recently been blessed with some funky weather.
The snow and wind up here in Washington have been big to say the least.
kinda cold too.
I just got some pics of my place in California and it is a bit wet down there in Danville.
I hear that this Wednesday we will get another rain front coming in and my boy will probably be putting in sand bags.
We can now kayak on both of our properties, so there is that .
Anybody else been getting hit?

 

[Mike - LA]

Tornadoes all around us here in my area presently.

There are video clips of submerged San Francisco Waterworld all over the Internet.

Round 2 to be worse than Round 1.

Epic level storm approaching.

Forecasters warn of 'brutal,' potentially deadly storm system arriving Wednesday

After experiencing an atmospheric river that soaked Northern California New Year's weekend, Bay Area residents prepared for another, even more devastating storm system set to arrive Wednesday.

Flood Watch through this Friday. Hug wind watch through Thursday.

The ground is soaked and cannot absorb anymore water. So the water will move sideways across the ground.

Folsom lake has gone from 30% capacity to 60% capacity from this recent storm, in less than one week.

Discharges have gone from 1,000 cfs to 20,000 cfs as the US BOR makes room in Folsom lake for the coming storm.

The weather has been quite impressive and will continue to be so through this week’s coming storm.

Just unseasonably warm and rainy here, nothing life threatening. All of you folks in “danger zones be safe! There is always someone that thinks they are smarter than a storm, let them not be any of you good folks!

Well, Skipper really had the decision to make on whether to go out or not, Gilligan was just the deck hand.

I guess those of us in the upper midwest are just used to having 6 or 7 months of awful every year and for those who aren't as blessed as us it seems like it's just a stretch of nice dotted by a disaster or two. For us, we have a few weeks of really nice and the rest of the year wondering why the hell we live here

 

[Timothy F. Lewis]

I know why I live here…
Weather? Well I’ve got a new furnace, AC and the cottage in July (thanks to my sister in law), Michigan is something you just resign yourself to or, move.

Seems appropriate, and a good song:

That's a really good rendition.

We've gone from something like -13 to 38 F in less than 2 weeks. Right now, I've got about 4" of sludge I'm going to have to move in the morning at 32 F. I am not looking forward to that.
