Our weather is still cyclone weather! New last night said this is the second worst storm in Michigan's history (lowest barometric pressure). The closest city to us had 46 MPH SUSTAINED winds last night at 11, with gusts well over 60! It's been worse today, so I can't wait to watch the weather tonight to get the numbers!

That's what I thought, Twiggy - I think it's a combo of the zoom/spray from the waves that was in the air, the sunlight and the fact that a camera phone doesn't have high resolution. We had 71 MPH winds today! We're fortunate that our house is actually in a fairly protected area - huge hill directly behind and to the south of us, plus we've got a larger hill to the West that protects most of our property. We live in the woods, and while there are a LOT of leaves blowing, we haven't seen any trees move more than their top branches. Hard to believe given the howling of the wind, but it really does help with all the hills around us.

What is that body of water? It looks like something from a Poe story.

The wind has been crazy here too- 50+ MPH gusts and about 30 MPH sustained. It's calmed now. My mom said Duluth, MN got 8" of snow along with it yesterday.

One of the Great Lakes.. which one, Teach? That is quite a picture!! Our weather today is just gorgeous!!!!! And I drove a new patient down to South Laguna.. Laguna Beach being omg beautiful. And today after recent rains and winds, as we came down the hill toward Coast Highway in Corona del Mar there was the sparkly ocean, the peninsula and Catalina Island looking like you could touch it.. many days you cannot even SEE Catalina. And the sky was blue with wonderful wispy clouds. The sun was shining, birds swooping around... The appt took longer than anticipated .. so much so that I had to call in to Am Cancer Soc to have them send a cab for my 2pm pickup, so we took coast highway all the way back. Just a day that makes you feel so happy to be alive and out and about.

We've had gorgeous weather. For two days! Tomorrow? Rain again in the forecast, dagnabit. And rain for Saturday. Sea, it was the offshore winds that did that... cleared out all the gunk so you could see for miles and miles and miles... (sing that last bit!).

I'm singing it!! I think tomorrow is going to be ok here, but I'm just driving a man within Fountain Valley and then going more inland to get my back adjusted.. which will be delicious too but no scenery. (well my doctor isn't hard to look at..)

It's been very nice Costa! Yesterday was a bit cool, but not bad. Today was beautiful. Which caused me problems, lol. The other day Darren lit the pilot lights on the heaters and we started to use them. I grumped at him yesterday cuz when he got up (at 2:30 am!) for work, he turned the thermostat in the living room down and it was cold when the kids and I got up. And then today, it got warm pretty quickly and when I went to turn the thermostat down the damn dial was stuck and wouldn't budge. When he got home, I said, "I know I just gripped about this yesterday, but, could you turn it down?" He glared at me, lol. I really didn't expect it to warm up this much as cold as it had been. It got down to 42 or 43 Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. Don't think it got above 50 all day Tuesday and then today it was 70!

Sea, we're supposed to be getting the tail end of something tonight into tomorrow morning, with rain/drizzle forecast till about noon on Saturday. But by Monday we'll have a bit of another offshore event, so it'll warm up and be beautiful again. Just crappy for the weekend, dang it.

I'm with the "none" people. Dakota's got two games scheduled tomorrow and she's going to be very unhappy if she ends up spending the morning and afternoon stuck in the house, which will make me very unhappy cuz then I have to put up with her grumpiness!

We have had the furnace on both day and night since we returned from our long trip. Heh, it just came on now, got it set at 68 for heat. It cycles down to 62 at 10 pm. Thus far I don't think I have heard it come on at night. We know it is a cold night here when the furnace goes on and off several times a night. Gonna head for Texas just as soon as we can get over these bad colds and have clear heads to get everything together.

We had no rain overnight. I got up and it looked like they would be wrong. But it started to rain about 7am and it POURED for about an hour and then continued to rain for another good couple of hours. Now it's poufy white clouds and sun, although chilly. Random weird weather today.

Snow?????? Ack!!!!!!! It started to rain about 4:30 this morning, really really hard (kept me awake) but by 7:30 we had clear skies and it was beautiful outside. Unfortunately, the few hours of rain flooded out the fields and the girls games were cancelled (they did practice at a different park though so that was nice.) It did cool down some and was cold tonight, but nice enough to be out for awhile.
