Ransom Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Still snowing...on and off. Got up to about, oh, maybe five/six inches. Looks lovely, but I'm glad I don't have to go anywhere. I hate driving in the snow. Makes me crosseyed! ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

'Bastian Devareaux Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Currently 58, overcast and windy.....They say 78 by Sunday. And before any get envious....No, it is not the norm.

Red-Handed Jill Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 We had one of the worst storms in ten years yesterday. Winds of 100MPH (150 up in the hills) and a hell of a lot of rain. Marin (north of San Francisco) was pretty much shut down due to flooding and they closed a lot of the bridges. It pretty much calmed down to just steady rain by late afternoon. This morning and afternoon we had thunderstorms. The storm passed right over us so that thunder was LOUD. As in house-shaking loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I HATE SNOW) But it looks like the sun is coming out, so hopefully the roads will dry out...

Cheeky Actress Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hasn't anyone told Mother Nature that it's JANUARY!!!!! Just yesterday we here in the State of Wisconsin experience a nasty 100 car pile-up down in Madison. The warmer weather has been causing a fog so thick it has lasted for the last three days! I was told today that one of the people who is in 'servere' condition is my very own neighbor, Dan! He was coming back from a outing just outside of Madison when it happened. As he was coming down HWY 39/90, his car was struck from behind. It was number four (4) in line. A work buddy was with him that day. Unfortunately, he did not make it. T Then today we had some pretty severe weather in my neck of the woods (Southeast WI). Up here, we experienced high winds, lighting, heavy rains, and even hail. This push of warm weather we had for the last few days has really messed up the seasons. There is no snow to speak of, expect for the large snow banks still in parking lots about town. My dear freinds in Northern IL informed me that they had servere weather down there today as well. They lost a locally loved apple orchard which was wiped out by a tornado today, but they are all in one piece and doing fine. Just north of them (near Lake Geneva, WI) Another family friend experienced some damage and they are without power; but nobody got hurt. It's been a rough couple of days.

Red Cat Jenny Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Good Lord! The weather has been wreaking havoc in many places. Hearfelt thoughts of support to all those in the affected areas. Cheeky, prayers for your neighbor and condolences for his friend. Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love.

Cheeky Actress Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Thank you so much, Red Cat for your kind words. We have no idea what Dan's condition is, but only that he is being watched around the clock as of the moment. We plan to go down tomorrow afternoon to see if their is anything we can do for his lovely wife and Dan, not to mention his friends family as well. We are all in shock over this.

Ransom Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 We'll keep your friend in our prayers, Cheeky. So, so, sorry to hear such sad news. We're still getting snow. Sad news for us is, we had to have our 15 yr old greyhound put to sleep today, due to bone cancer. Robert was out in the dark and wet, burying him with his buddy, Sinbad, who died four years ago, also from bone cancer. Apparently, it's comon in greyounds because of the running they do at an early age. Very sad day. Take care, Cheeky. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Red-Handed Jill Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I am so sorry to hear about your greyhound, Ransom. At least he had a good life while he was with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aedon Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Aye, it's always something ye feel like ye should have seen coming that blindsides ye isn't it, Ransom? I had a spaniel who lived about ten years, who died of some gut malfunction that's rather common in her breed. I never knew a thing about it until it happened, but hey, that's how life is. Chin up and face the day, I suppose. It gets better with time. -Aedon Me mum named me Aedon. Me mates call me Lucky. Me enemies call me a bastard.

Patrick Hand Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Have I mentioned that I HATE SNOW recently ? I was just up in Dorrington (5000 feet) when it started to snow..... OK it wasn't sticking yet, so I figure I can finish my beer and head for home befor it gets too bad......... wrongo..... the stuff stuck and froze to the road..... obvously I got home..... but there were cars all over the road (skiers from Bear Valley maybe.... people wot think because they have a four wheel drive, they can drive in the snow just the same as they drive in the City......) DANG..... I HATE SNOW...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Handed Jill Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 It's been raining on and off here, with some lovely wind as well. Jack and I were throwing knives and tomahawks in a lot near our place when it started to rain. Fortunately, that spate of rain didn't last very long and we were able to continue throwing sharp objects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
