Joe G Posted March 8, 2008 Report Posted March 8, 2008 We now have over a foot with two foot drifts and its still snowing! Not that bad here, but I am officially tired of the cold. Quote
Tom 1960 Posted March 8, 2008 Report Posted March 8, 2008 Alot of rain here today. Pouring at times with a brief outburst of thunder and lightning. There's alot of water running down the street. On a positive note, a good amount of snow has melted. I just can't wait till spring! Quote
AndrewHill Posted March 8, 2008 Report Posted March 8, 2008 We now have over a foot with two foot drifts and its still snowing! Not that bad here, but I am officially tired of the cold. I think you guys are going to luck out and miss the brunt of the storm. If I knew how to upload pictures, I'd take one of this four foot drift in my back yard, its wild! And its still snowing! We now have around 15 inches! Quote
GA Russell Posted March 9, 2008 Report Posted March 9, 2008 I'm scheduled to change planes in Cincinnati tomorrow. Should I be concerned? Last night I tried to get my flight changed to go through Atlanta, but it would have cost me $300 (!), so I decided to try my luck this morning. When I got to the airport (Seattle) I was told that there was no problem in Cincinnati. But for the time being, the Atlanta airport was closed! We lost a little time in Cincy getting the plane de-iced, but it was all good. Quote

A friend told me last night that the weather there was so bad that they had a driving ban; no one was allowed to leave their home! Quote
zen archer Posted March 9, 2008 Report Posted March 9, 2008 Yesterday we got 3 inches of rain and the WIND was like a Freight train., kept me up all night. The lawn is covered with tree branches and one of the branched slammed into our front door last night. Quote
sidewinder Posted March 9, 2008 Report Posted March 9, 2008 80mph winds and heavy rain forecast here for the early hours of the morning. The sky is already looking ominous.. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 9, 2008 Report Posted March 9, 2008 Yes - sunny most of day but bloody big black clouds rearing up in west just now. Nipping out for a quick cough and drag before the rain starts. MG Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted March 9, 2008 Report Posted March 9, 2008 (edited) It's been gorgeous here all day - not a sign of Gotterdammerung. Disappointing: a) Because I had to stay in and work all day - some nasty end of term deadlines. b) I was hoping we'd get a call saying the school was closed tomorrow due to the end of the world, reopening Tuesday. Looks like I'll have to head in whilst a maelstrom sweeps around me. Edited March 9, 2008 by Bev Stapleton Quote
sidewinder Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 Maelstrom here nowhere near as bad as expected last night. Worst to come? Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 Maelstrom here nowhere near as bad as expected last night. Worst to come? Not bad here, either - and the maps on the TV forecast this morning showed that we were right in it. I wonder if this is a case of 1986 having too much of an impact, such that forecasters are now inclined to say things will be a lot worse than they turn out to be. Crying wolf is as bad as underestimating the severity of a storm. I wonder how good American forecasters are at predicting the severity of storms? MG Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 It was wet today but some nice sunny spells too. No-where close to the madness of last July. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 I might have spoke too soon.

sidewinder Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 A few branches on the roads this morning and heavy rain today but - on the whole - nowhere near as bad as expected. The South Coast, West Wales and Cornwall/Devon seems to have got the worst of it. Quote
randissimo Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 Finally getting more sunshine .. January and especially February were brutally cold, lots if snowfall, and only 2 or 3 days of sunshine all month.. High temps are very slowly starting to climb above freezing.. I thinks it's going to be another couple of weeks before we see temps warm enough to melt the 3 foot snow banks on the sides of the roads here.. Quote
paul secor Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 Windy yesterday and today - tho not as bad today. Probably normal wind conditions for Chicago or Buffalo Quote
Guest Bill Barton Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 The weather in the Seattle area today is truly bizarre. First hail, then snow, then rain, about 30 seconds worth of sunshine, now just the typical general grayness. What the hell is up? It's freaking April 18th for goodness sakes! Back in 2001 I moved 3200 miles to get away from this crap. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 It would be pretty nice here, were it not for the icy nor-east wind blasting through! Summer's here MG Quote
sidewinder Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 It would be pretty nice here, were it not for the icy nor-east wind blasting through! Summer's here MG I've heard there's a 'Euro-Stench' coming in from over the North Sea from either Germany, Holland or Belgium (or probably all 3 ). Will hold nose when I head out later. Quote
AndrewHill Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 Warmin' up here. Was able to sleep with the window open last night. Quote
paul secor Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 Sunny, warm - a beautiful spring day - went for a walk at 6:30 this morning. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 went for a walk at 6:30 this morning. So did I - out into the back garden for a fag MG Quote
BillF Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 I've heard there's a 'Euro-Stench' coming in from over the North Sea from either Germany, Holland or Belgium (or probably all 3 ). Will hold nose when I head out later. Everything smelling of roses here in the North Quote
