What's your weather?

[mamselle]

I hear it's snowing north of the border, but here it's actually rather calm, warm-ish, and dry.

Odd to have spring weather in March here....

Quite fierce thunderstorms, with a tornado watch.  Not too unusual in March here.  A tornado struck elsewhere in the state this morning and seriously injured a couple of people.  So far our power lines have held up.

We needed the rain.  We've had such a dry winter that we had an outdoor burn ban in February.  Only a few years ago people were talking about how unprecedented it was to have a burn ban in March!  A few weeks ago we had a brush fire very close to town that scorched about 80 acres.  In our state that's rare even in the summer.

March isnt even over, and we will hit 92 today! 
we have had wind warnings for the last 2 days!

[mamselle]

Back to the 20s this AM...up to 49 right now, and it might get a bit warmer by tomorrow....

The usual, in other words.

Don't like the weather?

Wait a minute...

When I left the house this AM, it was 70 and raining, with a wind advisory for gusts upwards of 50 mph. It's meant to snow tonight and tomorrow. Yep. All the seasons in the span of a day.

[D@mnD@n1el]

Right now it is 55 degrees fahrenheit, the precipitation is 3%, the humidity is 85%, and the wind is 1 mph.

Wild weather last night. There was a tornado confirmed too:

Lots of down trees and wires around the DC area too.

In a grey overcast
A ragged hole of blue sky
Look!  The sun peeped through

It was beautiful today! It was in the high 70s and we'll get a repeat tomorrow.

I love global warming [NoVa]! :-)

Cheers to hmaria.

[From you I learnt of the existence of WTOP. It's, like, news and information! No opinions. Very helpful.]

[mamselle]

It mi-i-i-ight be getting warmer.

I co-o-o-o-uld desist from raining every AM  that I think I'll get to take a walk...

But I'm not counting on it until June, or whenever it happens--whichever comes first...

More or less seasonable temperatures (on the high end of the seasonable range), and lots of rain and thunder and lightning overnight.  A brief power outage seems to have knocked out our HVAC chiller once again, the day after we had yet another expensive service call to get it running.  The worst storms are predicted to come this afternoon.  People are nervous.

[Morden]

A couple days ago it was very nice (say 64F); now it is 14F. Oh well.

I've heard a rumor that our local schools are letting out early because of the weather.  According to their web site, they will allow parents to come get individual children early, and might possibly have to board the buses late if bad weather hits at closing time.  About par for the course for the grapevine, I guess.

A staff member who is normally off-duty on Wednesdays, but comes to pick up her paycheck, hasn't shown up.  I suspect she's afraid to get out.  She gets awfully fearful whenever there's the least hint of bad weather in the forecast.

It was supposed to be sunny today--I think it was sunny earlier today, but there's dense fog now with the sound of foghorns in the background.

ETA: Just saw the news about the tornado in Texas. Hope everyone in the area is safe.
