Totally bizarre. It was 103 degrees Fahrenheit today here. And that's with 50% humidity so it felt like 109 degrees Fahrenheit. For all you metric system dudes out there we are talking about 42 degrees Centigrade.
I actually just ran 20 Sprint's and did 60 push-ups at 40 sit-ups right smack-dab in the middle of the sunlight and made a video of it.

A solid 4 inches of snow last night and still falling.

Re: The Nasty Weather Thread
Heavy snowfalls up north and Cristobal coming ashore down south. Never a dull moment in stateside weather.......

Re: The Nasty Weather Thread
The way 2020 has been going, we should expect all kinds of nutty weather.

Re: The Nasty Weather Thread
Up on the Butte hill, which is just over a mile from me but over 1000 feet higher, they got 14 inches of snow. On Friday it is expected to be 80 degrees.
June is always a fun month weatherwise.

looks like you could go up to the top of that hill and bring back a few hundred pounds of snow and stand on the corner downtown selling snow cones.
I'm serious

The snow has pretty much melted already. That real wet spring snow is very heavy and it melts very quickly.

'Cristobal' sounds like some glorified flamenco dancer who has an elevated opinion of himself. Pretty fortunate we had it more that half surrounded with massive 'dry air' from the North. Some strong rain bands yesterday and your standard 6' to 1 foot of standing water for half the day until the pumps caught up otherwise just a dry run. The outer barriers-man made sand dune levees down in Grand Isle were wiped out though. Large areas of this region are very much on borrowed time should a Cat1-2-3 come direct.

I saw 27 drainage pumps have been working. Between Jefferson and Corps of Engineers 17 portable emergency pumps too. But is it normal that the Town of Grand Isle has only 10 pump stations that are in place and working?

Re: The Nasty Weather Thread
Well..... here we (fucking) go again. :(
Hurricane season was apparently in a hurry to make an entrance this year.
We're not even out of July yet and already several storms have made their presence known. Right now we're feeling the effects of newly named Tropical Storm Isaias (nice touch with the Spanish version of Isaiah).
Thankfully not much wind... but a hell of a lot of rain and should be that way for the next two days, seeing as to how Isaias is a very large system.
The center is passing to the south of us, but doesn't really make a hell of a lot of difference with a storm of that size.
I'm thinking the neighboring Dominican Republic is about to get all sorts of rain and some pretty good wind gusts... and it's anybody's guess what Isaias will do after that.

Grand Isle is on borrowed time as are the lower lying outer banks of City. Grand is literally an island with one highway and post Katrina the protective wetlands aka storm buffer have been badly eroded. The manmade dunes and fencing might as well be castles made of sand..melt into the sea..just had a Hendrix moment. Anyway they're basically sitting out chin in the air, any system with substance and surge should send the 1,200+ inland but people down here don't budge, spook or deter easily.

I hear ya bro.
As if the current year weren't bad enough..... now it seems hurricane season has gotten off to a running start.
Some projections have the Gulf of Mexico getting walloped by a one-two punch from Laura and TD 14 (whatever they decide to name it).
Laura should be either skirting us or hitting us sometime this weekend before moving on.
"TIRING" is the right word for it, man.

Not going to lie breathing a major sigh of relief being 100 miles away but hope anyone there gtf OUT. We'll get some massive bands once it clips east post landfall and tornado warnings but Lake Charles and TX boarder area are about to have hundreds of flat parking lots. Worst time too right in the middle of the night. Eye is tightening too

We are 180 miles northwest of HOuston. I remember passing thru Lake Charles and Port Arthur etc on the way here. Flat and marshy, theyre in for a rough ride.

Damn bro... the Gulf is getting its ass kicked this year. Looks like this year could go into the Greek alphabet before long.
Stay safe.

Re: The Nasty Weather Thread
Fires on the west coast, storms on the southern coast, it is tough for those there and relatives we have there. On a boxing note- this is one of those things that makes a person fall in love with Manny Pacquiao when he donates so much money to his nation when they got/get inundated with bad weather.
Have to really count my blessings.

Seesm the whole planet is getting flooded out. I seen vids of Yemen FFS and Saudi Arabia with streets 5 feet deep of torrential water. WE're talking middle of the fucking desert. Check out Rub' al-Khali, ... weird shit going on, you wonder if its weather manipulation using technology. Or global warming..... whether manmade or not. Somethings up lately.
And hell no did this shit come from BAT SOUP.

Re: The Nasty Weather Thread
Next up.."Zeta". Whatever the f that is. Moving at a good clip and snuck up on us a bit. Time to play that game we call "who's the dumbarses who go to work tomorrow with no guarantee of getting back home before landfall" :D. On a a good note went to 'stock up' at stores and literally needed nothing at this point in the year. At All. Bought a watermelon, a pumpkin and a gallon of coffee ice cream ;D.

WTF??
Damn Spic... the Gulf coast has gotten absolutely HAMMERED this year! :(
More specifically, the Louisiana Gulf coast. Here we are closing in on November and the damn storms are STILL coming off the assembly line.
"Zeta" is the Spanish word for "Z"... which is odd because I thought they were still on Greek letters.
Well... looked it up and it seems they still have "Eta" and "Theta" before they run out of Greek names also... and will probably have to go to numbers.
Either that... or start using "bad words" for future names. :D :D

Yeh it's hauling arse. Went from landfall expected late Thursday to 5 pm tomorrow all in a nights sleep. The Gulf coast is now a literal pinball machine, systems form hit or miss you fellas and then fly right through the 'flippers' that are Cuba and Yucatan peninsula to bounce around god knows where. A day in the life bro ;D

;D Never thought about Cuba and Yucatan as "flippers" in the Gulf of Mexico "pinball machine"... but I'll be damned if you look at the map and all the storms that have chugged their way through there... and that's exactly what it looks like.
Don't know whether you've taken any hits, but good luck out there... and hopefully the storm factory closes for the year before the WMO (I thought is was the NOAA) gets pissed off and starts using names like Shithead and Fuckoff.

Elsa coming and she looks hangry. First hurricane of the season "Elsa" sounds more like a divorcee who walks around a cheap Motel collecting weekly rent but yet another early start. @TitoFan good luck and buckle up mane

Re: The Nasty Weather Thread
Got close to fifty degrees here, no idea what that is in barbaric American measurmeant, terrible temperatures though passed the all time Canadian record by 4.5 degrees... I'm just glad global warming is nothing to worry about according to some people.

They are watering the steel bridges in Seattle. Absolutely insane weather in British Colombia too. Hope you stay underground in the basement and keep cool.

Same to you, my friend. Elsa passed safely to the south of us... but there's always that sinking feeling that when a hurricane takes that path... someone somewhere is going to get it. In this case, it looks like Cuba and the west coast of Florida. Forecasts say it has weakened back to tropical storm status and shouldn't strengthen from there... but TS is still damaging, both from wind and rain.
It's a bit ominous that here we are in the "E's", and it's only the 4th of July. Hopefully you'll be spared up in your neck of the woods.

I don't have a basement... I should start digging, the temperatures have eased of a bit now, still around 30 though, quite a lot of wildfires too, lytton which set the record (49.6) has pretty much burned down, of course the fire started from something else(maybe a spark from a train) but when it's so hot and dry the area is just ready to catch fire.

The weather IS insane. Everywhere. It's so unevenly divided, too.
Droughts in California (as usual), while the Eastern seaboard (and the Caribbean) are gearing up for yet another active hurricane season, which means intense storms with the winds and rains they always bring.

Re: The Nasty Weather Thread
Elsa twated herself out rolling over Cuba and lands as quick upgraded hurricane 1 but bad indicator for the season. Best thing was that she was really moving fast from start to landfall. It's been raining for the last 8 days here some heavy some light but saturated. They're actually using inflatable and water levees in some BF spots a few months ago :-X. Said it before but if we see anything close to last year then I see a U Haul in my future. The Gulf want's it back.

Re: The Nasty Weather Thread
Perfect timing Ida you ugly hag. I think I'm due for an extended vacation in Destin Fl anyway. Have to say this one sort of just crept up stalker style. But if you show me a Cat 4 and I salute and walk the other direction. Of course we've seen it before but this has a certain feel. If that's a thing ;D. Rule #1..no sleeping in a Walmart parking lot or trying to shower with a carwash sprayer this time because of zero hotels ;D. Ah memories. Should be a hoot.
