I understand there are worse weather events happening out there this week, so let me start by apologizing for my bitchiness to anyone fighting tornadoes or floods. But…Really? You can’t be serious. A winter storm watch at the end of May? :eek:
Only a few days this spring have I worn short-sleeves. Only a few days over 70 since last October. I mean, I know I live on the Canadian border, but this is getting ridiculous.
Blame La Nina. (pretend there’s a tilde over that second "n’)
We are still getting snow too. Got about a foot last Saturday.
My yard looks like the middle of February, with piles of the stuff still about 4 feet high.
At least we aren’t that bad up here. I spent Memorial Day in Leadville, CO many years ago and I remember looking up at breakfast and seeing huge snowflakes. One of the locals a few tables over said, “Of course it’s snowing, we can count on it damn near every Memorial Day and 4th of July.” :eek:
Yep. Fireworks and snowflakes put on an interesting display.
Winter storm watch? Where?
But then I see that you’re in Nowhere, Western Australia. (Must be southern WA. Are you in the highlands southeast of Perth?)
We’re finally getting on to spring around here, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see one last snowfall before the end. What’s more frustrating isn’t the abundance of cold days, but the lack of warm ones: It was only just last week before we had our first shorts day. Usually, there’s a day or two of that in March (before going back to down jackets the very next day, of course).
Wisconsin is behind by about a month in how temps should be. I hope it’s not as bad as two years ago when we only reached 80F and above a couple days the whole year.
It’s almost a summer day here, but just last week I heard someone complain that it felt like we were about to get snow.
Every Memorial Day weekend I go away, and I refuse to take regular shoes and long pants. It’s my personal start of summer. But every year I have doubts about the weather being anything but more winter. May is a horrible month here.
Jim Cantore just tweeted that he is setting up shop in a nearby town today. That is never a good sign.
Exactly. It is like we can’t get past late March.
Somebody needs to bump the record player. I think the needle is stuck. 
The way things have been going lately on the Weather Channel, I think I might start evacuation prep.
I live in sunny California and it’s like January today. We keep bouncing between warm, sunny days and winter storms. We’ve had lightning and hail and it’s pouring today. Normally it would be 100 degrees by now…
Looks like Cantore went to the right spot. Tornadoes have been spotted are about 20 miles West of him and they generally move east-North-eastward.
Which puts me in the path as well.:eek:
I have already made arrangements with a neighbor to go the their basement if it starts to look rough, which would be about an hour from now. Made sure that my girlfriend and her family have a plan too.
And a rendezvous point, too
Incredibly unstable weather around her.
I have had a bad feeling about this since the outbreak in Oklahoma yesterday. I told my GF yesterday that unstableness could easily move to our town today. I don’t usually get nervous about storms, but I have had a pit in my stomach all day today. We haven’t had any rain yet but it has been windy all day, and extremely humid.
St Louis is getting zonked right now too.
There’s a hidden spot near the Bungle Bungle Range that borders on Canada.
We’re supposed to get some snow over the next day or two, probably just an inch or so if that much. It’s raining now. I won’t be surprised if I see some white stuff out there in the morning though.
I know I live in the mountains, though not as high up as enipla. But damn, we actually have daffodils and tulips blooming and the trees just got leaves last week! We don’t need any more snow for awhile. Not that there’s anything I can do about that but do what everybody else is doing, bitch and moan about it.
I hope a late summer means this winter is going to be warm too
