The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 It's looking a bit better this morning here. How are our continental European friends doing? MG Quote
tjobbe Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 (edited) sunny now , the storm was rushing through quicker than expected and left over some rain the night only, so as my Mosiac'S are all save its only the straw that gets a bit wet... Btw, Mosaic's... the famous Dionysos mosaic in the cologne Museum of roman art is potentially damaged by a wooden pannel protecting a fountain 100m nearby crushing the window and falling on to it Cheers, Oliver Edited January 19, 2007 by tjobbe Quote
mikeweil Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 lost again power for 1h and 1/4 of the roof of my barn....ups Do you mean "oops"? Or do you mean the roof flew ups in the air? .... both Scott, the german ups=oops and the ups=up as 10qm is gone with the wind...do not where it landed at least not on my property. Hope that the worst is over now, but I fear it might start raining before I can close the holes. Have about 100 (missed a "0" there...should be 1000) bales of hey and straw in the barn. Cheers, Oliver Oliver, I was thinking about you last night ..... Hope you could fix it before the rain came. We were more lucky here, the wind was blowing stronger than I have ever experienced before, but everything was still in place this morning. The high trees close to the house had to be chopped off several years ago, otherwise they would have come down on the house this time. It was strange - for almost two hours it was pretty quiet here, like we were in the eye of a hurricane. Then it started for another round. Contrary to you, we are rather low between two hillranges - but your house up there, open to the west side .... geez. Hope you all get through this safely! Quote
tjobbe Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 Thanks Mike, my direct neighbors suffered more heavy with a destroyed car and the other with lot's of scratches in the roof of his house we couldn't fix during the night so the rain go in there poring into the bathroom where the tried to catch and stop it somehow. In other cases only some damage to trees. The leak I have in the barn's roof is at clear sight not that bad as it is only at an area where few bales where stapled so the majority has not suffered from the rain at all and kept dry. Due to the height of the roof, there was not much chances to fix anything myself. I'm waiting for the guy to fix it at least temporarily but he's late due to all the damage Cheers, Oliver Quote

chris olivarez Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 The forecast calls for snow this weekend but right now it's clear and we got up to 43 degrees. Quote
Scott Dolan Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 Hmmm.... It didn't get that warm here today. About 38 or 39. But the sun was out and we got a lot of ice around here melted. Just in time for the snow this weekend. Quote
Adam Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 It's in the high 60s or maybe 70 Fahrenheit here today and sunny and beautiful. It seems like the Arctic cold front has now moved on. Quote
Swinger Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 Aaaah..it's getting colder here in Finland at last. We are expecting temperatures between 5 to - 15 fahrenheits during this weekend. It was unusually warm around here during December."Thanks" to global warming . Temperatures were between 46 to 35 fahrenheits around here during December. There was practically no snow on the ground except in the northern part of Finland and it was mostly raining water every day. *sigh* Quote
neveronfriday Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 (edited) It's looking a bit better this morning here. How are our continental European friends doing? MG Storm blew over a few hours after my last post here. Things did not turn out as drastic as everyone had predicted for our area, but the fire department was out in force, my neighbor ruined his own car this time around (with his own tiles falling off his roof ... what an utter and complete idiot), and I had a wonderful view of the mayhem across our small town here. The funniest thing were two teenagers trying to fire off a left-over New Year's rocket (one of those massive jobs with sequences of fireworks that last quite a while) and they managed ... to send it straight down the road only to explode in front of the Thai take-away, scaring the crap out of the people inside. The next day there was tons of water everywhere (I'm very close to the "Rheinauen" which is an extensive swampy area right next to the river) that had risen up through the ground. In short, nothing we aren't used to here. Edited January 20, 2007 by neveronfriday Quote
(BB) Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 A predicted 1"-2" of snow just turned into 5"+ time to start shoveling. Quote
Tim McG Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 (edited) Finally, it warmed up a bit in the San Joaquin Valley. 20's and teens were decimating the citrus orchards hereabouts Edited January 21, 2007 by GoodSpeak Quote

Scott Dolan Posted January 22, 2007 Report Posted January 22, 2007 Yeah, so what? It's January fer christs sake! Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 22, 2007 Report Posted January 22, 2007 Quite a pleasant day today, though a bit windy. Sun was slightly warm in the garden (or the bit of it that it can acually rise and shine on at this time of the year). MG Quote

The wildlife will be totally confused. Quote
Guy Berger Posted January 22, 2007 Report Posted January 22, 2007 Yeah, so what? It's January fer christs sake! In San Diego it's probably 65 degrees! This global warming thing needs to hurry up. Guy Quote
Scott Dolan Posted January 22, 2007 Report Posted January 22, 2007 Move to Florida if you want to sweat your ass off 95% of the year. Quote
Guy Berger Posted January 22, 2007 Report Posted January 22, 2007 Move to Florida if you want to sweat your ass off 95% of the year. I prefer California. Screw this humidity crap. Guy Quote
