Weather

I just looked at the wind map in the weather app, then I zoomed out and saw this, several hundred miles away from me,

That should take care of the perpetual fog.
 
All good with the offspring.

Since she has been in CA she has experienced a hurricane (not her first), an earthquake and now this.

Plus she can't even park her car without getting it potentially getting broken into, what sort of hellscape is this poor girl living in? I'm surprised she's lasted this long.
 
Year 2 of a mild winter here in New England. Nov 2022 I decided to invest in a snowblower, and I dropped some significant money to make sure It was going to be easy for my wife to use as well.

Since that investment, I have had only 2 snow storms that I used the snowblower on. One of them was a stretch and just an excuse to feel better on the investment last winter. Not sure if it I am excited that it didn't dump multiple storms of 12 inches on us, or dismayed that I seemingly wasted all that money.

Not a waste. Had a snowblower almost all of my adult life in WV. Some years it sat, some it got used quite a bit. Over 30 years I bought two. First one died at about 25 years, sold second one for $300. Total investment was about $1200/30 = $40 year. Well worth it for those times you so really need it.

Similar to a whole-house generator. Hate that it sits, but glad you have it when you need it.

Edit: You probably know this, but at the end of the season, start it and turn the fuel off and run the carb dry. A shot of fogging spray and it will be ready to go next year. Also make sure to use Stabil + Ethanol in your fuel.

We had a lot of 60MPH gusts. Lot of power outages all around.

I have friends in Daly City, HMB, Pacifica and San Jose still without power. Probably one of the biggest storms I've ever witnessed, winds were also over 60MPH in the north bay as well and we're lucky to have mostly underground power lines.

So why did you send it to me? ;)

Wind and rain last night were out of hand and its not going to get any better. Winter storm warnings are everywhere above 6000 with 8-14in expected.

My daughter sent me a Tik-Tok of the water in the street in Westwood near her office. Lot's of water.

Reminds me of the time we were coming in to St. Cloud in the evening, when the phone made a bad noise, warning us of heavy rain, possible flooding. As we drove through the deluge, the phone made that noise again, to warn us of a possible tornado. I asked, when you are in a car, and there is a tornado, what do you do? The response was "pull over and get down in the ditch." I looked out the window at the dtches, which were starting to overflow onto the shoulder.
 
Did anyone see the video of that tornado that hit Nebraska?

Saw on the news that one of these tornados was one of the top 20 strongest ever recorded.

Apparently Omaha and Lincoln got hammered hard.

It is amazing that there were no deaths reported.
 
Another spring evening, another tornado outbreak.

Only knew about this one as our friends are driving cross country and were in Nebraska and trying to dodge them.

But it looks like the more severe ones are south in OK and KS.
 
Pick you poison, as a resident of East central Texas, if my choice is more rain and 70s (warmer, more humid after) or no rain and triple didgits (central, north, west Texas), I’ll take the rain with the knowledge that my neighborhood has not ever flooded (knock on wood…) 😳
 
Working in the garden, yard yesterday @100F I was doing pretty well, We have a line of trees, behind our property that blocks the sun in the back portion of the yard where I was working. I had drank a large glass of water before I came out and then got a big bottle of water. Then I went around to the front to mow the yard, which is not large and that’s in the shade because of a large oak and a mulberry tree. 2/3 of the way through mowing I just ran out of energy. I had to stop and lean against the car for a while. It wasn’t a sensation of being hot, just drained of energy. I finished mowing and put the lawnmower away. Came inside prepared a giant smoothie (frozen banana, frozen plum, handful of strawberries, some lemon juice, and Stevia). My clothes were soaked from the water I’ve been drinking so I proceeded outback to sit under the gazebo, turn the fan on And slurp my drink. Even though it’s hot, drinking that much frozen beverage is cooling, then came in and got a bath. :)

Yeah, there have been multiple tornados in the state recently which is very unusual.
