Winter just won't give up here. Another couple of inches of snow overnight and 32 degrees. Hopefully it will melt fast, the lawn is green and will need to be mowed soon.

That is a good idea!! I think I will do it with a bagging attachment.

may 8th and we are under a Winter Storm warning. So far it's just what 6 months ago we would call a pretty snowfall. We may have 5 or 6 inches by morning and should melt by tomorrow night. ___Dave

The May 8th storm gave a us about a foot of wet snow. Then we had a week of beautiful Tee shirt weather, although every day started out around 35 degrees, but warmed up with the sunshine. Today, May 19, it snowed fairly hard almost all day. Thankfully this time the ground was warm enough that it melted as fast as it fell. Our lakes and streams are full.___Dave

Cold and Wet. Had the first frost here last Friday. going to be a long cold winter.

Around +17 celsius. Clear. Bone Dry. Spring seeding is chugging along. She is getting really dry. Top inch of soil is powder.

More than 8000 years ago, the first civilization of the world was born on the shores of the freshwater lake Black Sea. People lived well, had their kings and priests, worshiped their gods, kept animals and cereals. But the end of the next ice age came. The level of the ocean has risen. The Bosporus stream broke and the salty water from the Mediterranean burst into the Black Sea. The level rose by 200 meters and swept the cities and fields. That's how the first human civilization disappeared. The legend of the great flood was born.
Spread to people around the world. One part went to the east and created the Sumerian civilization. The other part has spread throughout the entire Balkan Peninsula and has created another civilization. Over the centuries they are called Pelasgians, Thracians, Bulgarians ...
The wheel of the story rolled. The Flood is coming again. Goodbye friends, I'm going to build ark.

I feel for you Eustance, my daughter and her family are there in Bulgaria and she has been telling and sending pictures. Yesterday I think she couldn't leave because both cross streets in her neighborhood were flooded almost over the wheels of her car.

In what city are they?

They are in Plovdiv, just about the center of the city. I was there this time last year.

4th day of Winter and if today is any indication, going to be a cold one. Going to be about 50-55deg. with a cutting breeze. Victoria-Australia.

It's been warm lately.

Well KnifeSlinger#81, I see your 100 degrees and I'll raise you 2 degrees! (check out the "feels like" temp, the heat index, 119 ) Noticed all the weather stations on TV are issuing alerts for folks up the country, ain't nothin' new in this part of the world.

.TF, that looks about the same as it is here in TUPELO right now!!!..... ........

HOT y'all can have this wheather I'd rather a Nor'easter

I hear ya gdogg! Y’all don’t have many places with air conditioning there. My sister-in-law’s place in Owls Head doesn’t have any AC but normally they don’t need it. When they do though it’s miserable. I was in Rangeley several years ago in August when it was 100 degrees. We went there to escape the Texas heat, but it was hotter there that day than it was in Texas.

Here the highs have been mid-90’s, typical for this time of year in Texas. We just came in from visiting with neighbors for a couple of hours while sitting around the picnic table under a big oak tree, drinking iced tea. It was quite pleasant there in the shade with a nice breeze.

It will not be comfortable here in Ponder country today. Clear skies, 0% chance of rain, high 99 with a feel like temp of 102, humidity at 33% and a calm wind. I believe after church and lunch I will just take a long nap or watch a good old western.

8am here in Jersey. Already 85°, feeling like 95°.
Forecast for 99° actual, heat index 110°+

Gimme 60° +/- 5° and I'm happy. Flannel shirt during the day, light jacket in the evening

Well guys, i never new how hot down south can get during summer. Most of the time clear sunny days are between 25 celsius (75 fahrenheit) to 30 celsius (86 fahrenheit). Just the humidity is the kicker, anywhere from 65 to 90 on any givin day. Makes those hot days a lot hotter. But lots of days are cool with low humidity. Some days are nice, can work all day. And some days are cookers, can't do anything. That's the thing about East Central Saskatchewan or West Central Manitobia, the weathers awesome during spring, summer, and fall. Only winters get you. Even then, people that move here from hot places, North Affrica tell us that they take this any day over cooking. That's why you got lots of snow birders around canada. JMTB

Lots of bad weather in our area last night. The whole of eastern South Dakota had storms of one sort or another. We had 3 tornadoes in the Sioux Falls area, on the south end of town about 10 miles away from me. Some business buildings sustained heavy damage and lots of vehicles and trees damaged. I had 2 1/2" in my gauge, other areas west of town had as much as 7 inches! The forecast is for more of the same tonight, and as I write this heavy thunder rumbles can be heard and rain is coming down. Fortunately no one was injured last night as the cell phone system kept sending warnings for people to take cover, which they did immediately. We will have to see how it goes tonight.

Gorgeous 60+ degree weather in Ireland so far! Supposed to be a sunny and 70 degree Indian Summer for the next several days.

Thank you so much for posting the photos of lovely Ireland. No longer have an itch for traveling with one exception.....yup, Ireland.

Update on Sioux Falls tornadoes: Several business were damaged or destroyed by three F2 tornadoes Tues night. This was about 3 miles straight south of where I live. There had not been a tornado in the Sioux Falls city limits since 1989. There is some very good video footage taken from a drone available on Youtube, just search Sioux Falls Tornadoes in the youtube search box. Very luck no one was injured as this occurred about midnight and the business were closed. Also some apartment buildings nearby were heavily damaged and the residents are being displaced.

So it's finally the month I begin to check the weather forecast and look for a potential deviation from the hell summer we have here
for 8 months of the year.......and today I saw a forecast temp lows that began with a 6!!!

Yup, hoping the forecast low of 69 holds true on 9/26!!
