We actually had thunderstorms last night. In Indiana. In January. Tornado weather today woo-hoo!! And the rain isn't supposed to let up anytime soon - southern part of the state is underwater, but our lake is looking fabulous.

They forecasted our weather temps for the next couple of days are supposed to drop thirty degrees from what we've been having. There goes the nice balmy upper 60s and low 70s highs. Ack, the lows will be below freezing if that's true. <shiver>

The weather was wonderful today.. Of course I had a garage door failure and couldn't get out to the vet (Critter was already pissed and now she'll have to be pissed tomorrow when we do go) and the insurance adjustor came out today and was really nice.. he's thinking they will (less my deductible $500) take out and replace all the soggy insulation, replace a couple of sheets of drywall in the ceiling and one in the wall, get rid of the popcorn in that room, put it back (or not.. he says my choice of course) repaint ceiling and walls, have the carpte cleaned and disinfected, include checking for asbestos, and someone to move furniture out and in and rehang the ceiling fan (I might even see if I can find a better one on sale and pay to have it connected to a lightswitch and even include a light!! So lots of work ahead but I'm pleased. He says they are running all over have had around 5000 claim and that is rising (in so cal)(for St Farm) There are places here in Orange County where there is bad slide danger, evacuations of 4000 in San Clemente (due to a creek rising.. a major flood control channel..), Ortega Highway washed out for a week, and more.. But no rain for at least the rest of this week!! I went out on errands.. post office, Curves, Togo's for sandwiches and FRY's Electronics (all Dra's fault!!) and it was lovely out and I could see snow on the mountains too.

YIKES Skootz! Is that without the windchill factor? We have windchill warnings of -50 for tonight and tomorrow. Most of Minnesota got dumped on yesterday with snow. It looks pretty, but I'm ready for spring now! Any day!

It is crazy weather this year isn't Twinkie. We have a little drift of snow in our yard left and I am sure it will be gone by noon. I don't want to be looking at dull blah grass and black plowed fields, I would rather look at the snow this time of year. Especially since we know in this end of the world we will get more winter before spring comes.

Our rain is possibly hitting Biloxebelle and Grannyg today because the wind had picked up sending the front eastward. Our temps are heading down to the low 40s upper 30s tonight, but right now the sky is clear and a beautiful blue.

We had rain and fog yesterday- wround 40 degrees. We don't have a high for today- just falling temps all day then it's going to be a COLD week. Windchill warning for up north Wisconsin is -40 (and I saw further north in Canada where the windchill was supposed to be -55). Yuck! Brrrr. Then there's some pop up about how the snow is melting and spring is on the way. Riiiight. In about 2 more months! Today Mostly cloudy and blustery with isolated flurries during the morning. Decreasing clouds late. Morning highs in the upper 20s...then steady or slowly falling temperatures. Northwest wind 15 to 25 mph. Tonight Mostly clear and bitterly cold. Lows from 5 below to 10 below. West wind 10 to 20 mph. Wind chills to 30 below. Friday Bitterly cold with morning wind chills to 30 below. Mostly sunny. Highs around 5 above. West wind around 10 mph. Friday Night Mostly clear and very cold. Lows from 10 below to 15 below. West wind 5 to 10 mph. Wind chills to 30 below.

Gracie, I got your weather but the rain wasn't as bad as they said it would be but the wind was unbelieveable. Knocked out power lines all over and tree limbs are everywhere. Luckily, my power didn't go out but lots of areas around me did. I was hoping it went out at school but alas, it didn't. <sigh> Now it's freezing cold and yesterday the high was 70. The weather needs to make up its mind if it's gonna be spring or winter.

Off the lurking wall... Snow, snow, what snow. Northern Minnesota got snow, Southern Minnesota got snow but here in Minneapolis area, hardling anything at all. We have yet to get an inch in one setting. We are now getting the cold like the rest of the state. This definitely has been one wierd winter so far. Now whooping cough in my just barely teenager. Where are those beaches?

The weather report said there was severe weather up your direction Granny! Yikes. I saw pics of tornado-like damages and flooding that caused some too. You can feel the difference in the outside temp inside the house here. Guess it's because they don't make 'em like up north with plenty of insulation unless you build it yourself.

Hi Tiernet!!! Sorry to hear about your youngster and whooping cough. Looks like the powers that be need to get out the vaccination charts and revise them. I had whooping cough as a child and remember it was miserable. Had to stay in a darkened room in bed all the time, and it was during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Blech.

There was this bright, yellow thing up in the sky this morning when I left for work. It made me squint, and made the ice all shiny when I looked at it. I don't know what it was called, but I think I may have read about it in a book once. Doesn't matter any more, because it's gone again, and the nice clouds that I've become so accustomed to are back.

I have.... SUNSHINE!!!!!!! I have.... two kitties who are following the patch of sun around, and looking like they are totally in kitty bliss. We have clear blue skies, and it's gonna be getting warmer, at least thru Tuesday. We'll finally dry out. And I can shrug off those "will it ever stop raining do I need to build an ark where the heck is the sunshine dammit winter doldrums"!!!! For those of you in MN, one word: YIKES! Then another few: Why the heck do you live there???? <grin>
