Earlier this week, it was over 70 degrees here. Then, we had a round of violent thunderstorms and heavy rain, which turned into 4 inches of snow overnight. Then, it got warm again yesterday and the snow melted. Now, here it comes again: 4 inches or more forecast today and tonight, then back into the 60's by Sunday.

Old Man Winter: Go the hell away! You stayed gone all through December, January and Feburary, so what are you doing here tormenting us in March just before Spring?

Well...as they say: No Whar But Texas!

Kit, I used to travel for a living and when I'd watch the news and weather in my motel room I could always tell what my weekend weather was going to be. If TX got crapped on Mon or Tues, SC was going to get the same thing by the weekend.

OH QUIT MOANIN' KIT. I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THAT CRAP ALL WINTER. THINK I'LL MOVE TO THE EQUATOR.

Bolling, I read a fiction book once about a guy who always seemed to be stationed in extreme cold places. He said when he retired he was gonna build a house on the equator and put in steam heat. When the temp fell below 100 he was gonna turn on the heat.

It will get better soon,President Bush will hand over the weather machine to his successor.No more Katrina, and the like.

You live in Texas and you're crying about the weather? Come up here to Michigan. We just got hit with 8 inches of snow two days ago

BTDT, thanks. I used to spend a lot of time in Michigan, usually in the winter, and learned to hate it (the weather, not the state).

The heaviest snowflakes I ever saw were falling between Grand Rapids and Muskegon one night. In my headlights, they looked about the size of dinner plates and must have weighed 10lbs apiece as they hit the windshield with a loud "flop."

Man...I wondered if I'd get to Muskegon alive! My biggest fear was sliding off the road and having to get out of the truck. I was afraid a flake would hit me in the head and knock me out.

LMAO!! I cannot wait to be out of this state. The weather sucks beyond measure. Well knowing my luck when I graduate OSUT, they'll sent me to Drum.

Texas weather and women... you have it made

Hey! Somebody has to do the tough duty!

Yep, global warming is a biich ain't it?

Snowing in Dixie ain't nothin new. Redstone Arsenal, 12/62, I was listening to a Cleveland, OH, AM radio station (KYW 1100). The whole bay, including NATO Germans, heard the snow prediction and I had a crowd around until a station ID played. It did snow 1/2 inch in Huntsville and it closed the whole base down. LMAO.

Still snowing here. We have 3-4 inches right now. The temp is right above freezing so I guess it will freeze over tonight with ice beneath it. It is a winterwonderland outside! I don't remember it ever snowing in March (in Texas), do you?

Hope you are not buried in the snow, Kit. It took me an hour and 45 min to get home today (normal 20 minutes). Late start tomorrow.

By Monday it'll be spring!

Yes, I can remember snow in March before.

Right now, it's still coming down and we already have 6 of the 4 inches predicted in the yard!

What would Obama do?

Meechigan aint got nothin on Ohio. Especially Northern Ohio. We get the normal snows, then get the double whammy when it comes accross lake erie and picks up more moisture. 4 inches of light snow in Canada turns into 12 inches of crap when it dumps on us. They call it 'lake effect snow' and those hit hardest every year are in the 'snow belt' of Ohio.

You're joking, right? Upper Michigan (Da Yoop) is smack-dab betwixt the two largest of the Great Lakes; You've no clue what Lake-effect snow is!

Back in 1992, on May 10, fer Crisssakes, we got nearly three feet of Lake-effect in a 24-hour period and ended up snow-bound for three days because the plows were afraid of damaging the roads during "break-up!"

I ended up hand shoveling nearly a quarter mile's worth of road and lemme tell ya bub, that thar was some heavy shait!

HA HA HA HA.
It only rains here....incessantly constant, dreary, bleak...crap, I wish I could remember what the sun looks like....

Oregon and England. Different terrain, same weather. Had a fiance from Oregon once. Had to visit her. Decided i would never live there. We are obviously no longer engaged.

KJ--You come here for a winter, and i'll go up there. I'm thinking they may not be much different. Supposed to get 18 inches by saturday here. Can't wait until spring.

kit, try east tennessee, today, 68, tomorrow, Mostly cloudy. Snow likely in the morning and early afternoon...then a chance of snow late in the afternoon. Brisk. Snow accumulation up to 2 inches. Near steady temperature in the lower 30s. West winds 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 70 percent.

this past monday and tuesday 71 and 73, wednsday, 53, thursday rain and 44..no wonder my sinus' stay messed up...lol

Here in New Jersey it can't make up it's damn mind. It will be 25 degrees one day and 55 the next. Then we'll have a 55 degree day and get 4 inches of snow the next. Everyone is keeping a cold. We're getting rain right now.
