Weather - What's YOUR weather today? (Part ONE - Started Sat., March 14, 2009) (Let's keep this going.) Showing 2,701-2,750 of 2,790

[Linda]

Turned out to be a sunny cool morning and a sunny blue-sky afternoon - even if only around 60-62 degrees.

Had a cup of coffee outside when I got home from work. Nice. Soon be able to do this everyday; I'm waiting.

[Nina]

We are expecting a dousing thunderstorm tonight and perhaps hail and yes, my poor old pansies.

[Jim]

We've had gorgeous weather lately. The asparagus is coming up. Not enough for dinner yet, but soon.

[Joy H., Group Founder]

Yes, I'm looking forward to the warmer weather!

[Nina]

Pansies survived and sunshine this morning although a bit cooler than our seventy and eighty one degree days. And thankfully no hail last night or tornado warnings. It's that time of year.

[Joy H., Group Founder]

Glad to hear that, Nina.

[Jim]

Thursday we got up to 80. Yesterday was cold & rainy, colder & stormier as the day went on. We got 1.5" of rain. This morning it is 34 & snowing. Big, fat flakes that aren't sticking & are kind of pretty against all the trees & bushes in bloom or with new, green growth. The forsythia, pears, & daffodils have been done for a while. The redbuds, plums, & crab apples are losing their blooms as they leaf out - a pretty mixture. The dogwoods & tulips are in full bloom.

[Joy H., Group Founder]

Quite a mixture, Jim! The dogwoods must be pretty.

[Nina]

Your description, Jim, reminds me of the MO Ozarks. Sometimes I miss it.

[Nina]

Seventy degrees tomorrow and then at night down to thirty three. Ouch for my poor already planted garden..Still working in our basement but making some progress. Lots of shopping even to buy mattresses, box springs, sheets etc. Besides a couch. Oh well some day it will all be behind us.

[Jim]

Glad the basement is coming along, Nina. Our temperature is bouncing all around, too. I generally don't plant tomatoes until Derby Day, the first Saturday in May, since they don't like cold feet & never do well if I put them out earlier. This year, that's about all I'm going to plant, I think. I'm think I'm going to pull out half my garden. I just don't have the time & it hasn't done well. We get a squash bug & there are a lot of roadside stands I pass, so I'll probably just pick up what I want there.

[Linda]

43degrees and windy, rain on and off
well - the grass, tree buds will grow, I guess!

[Nina]

Perhaps ninety degrees on Thursday and my pansies won't be happy.

[Jim]

We had a cold, wet weekend. The past few mornings it has been in the upper 40s & Monday didn't get up to 60, but dry. Yesterday felt hot at work (Louisville) but when I got home it was only in the mid 60s so mowing was a little colder than I like. I swear sitting on the lawnmower or tractor either lowers or raises the temperature by 10 degrees. I HAVE to get the big tractor out & start mowing the fields tonight. They're past due with grass up over our knees.

[Nina]

It's pouring, it's pouring but the old man isn't snoring. Instead he is repainting the basement wall that had just been painted as we had one more water leak. It came from a hose that connected an unused faucet in one hall bathroom to the ice maker in the fridge in the kitchen and so it somehow went under the cabinet in the hall bath and under our closet floor to the carpet in master bath and soaked the entrance to that bath. Confusing to describe and how he ever figured it out was a miracle. He stopped the leak but working on the hose that was on the basement ceiling.. All's well that ends well. Not exactly well; the carpet is now longer soaked but stained so carpet cleaning is next on the agenda. After new carpet is laid in living room and furniture put back in place in basement etc etc.

[Jim]

Wow, you all can't catch a break with the leaks!

[Nina]

Record rain fall but at least no tornado to catch us. We are still in the recovery mode from the flood, however. Waiting for furniture to be put back in basement; rug in office to be cleaned; doors must be shaved as they won't close over new carpet; chest leg repaired that they broke off and carpet installed in living room and mattresses and box springs out of our front hall; furniture moved to granddaughter's home and then rearranged here with different furniture etc. Wish us luck

[Jim]

Good luck. We're in HOT weather now. Around 90 & humid. Ugh.

[Nina]

Severe weather forecast with heavy rains and possible tornadoes. Wish us luck.

[Jim]

good luck! Hope your basement stays unflooded!!!

[Nina]

The rain missed us as did the tornado that hit nearby damaging many homes and injuring several but no deaths thanks goodness.

[Nina]

More rain in May than ever/broke the record by one inch. Sorry about the people with flooded homes but at least the grass is green. Looks like Ireland.

[Nina]

Can you believe it's ninety three today. Where did spring go?

[Jim]

It was close to 90 here today. I didn't go out much, though. Still fighting pneumonia.

[Nina]

Remember I said my daughter's bronchitis turned into pneumonia. I am so sorry yours did also. She had to be hospitalized for several days with IV antibiotics. I hope you are on antibiotics. Take care and please don't overdue.

[Jim]

Thanks. No hospital, just no energy & feeling like garbage. I take my last antibiotic tomorrow & I've made a doctor's appointment for next Tuesday. I'll cancel it if I'm better.

[Nina]

Good luck. Hope you feel better soon.

[Nina]

Almost total dark at ten thirty in the morning and pouring rain; earlier it was pouring hailstones. My poor pansies but at least I don't have to water them today.

[Jim]

We actually have a day without rain. It's supposed to start again tomorrow. Way too much. No hay is being made & it needs to be. I can't even cut the grass in the yard on time due to puddles. We're still an inch or two below last year's record breaking amount, but that's little comfort when we've gotten an inch in 15 minutes a couple of times. Besides, last year we were practically drowned. 40" or so is our norm & we had almost twice that.

[Nina]

We had four and a half inches rain today

[Jim]

We had a nice day, if steamy. Humidity of 90% & in the mid 80s. Got some of the fence fixed before lunch & too much heat.

[Jim]

It's terribly hot out. The temp is in the upper 80s, the sun is scorching, & the humidity is close to 100%. I was so glad to have an air conditioned house to come into after putting up some fencing this afternoon. Just an hour or so of work, but I soaked my shirt through. The heat is definitely getting to me more as I get older. It doesn't help that my office is a server room, so I never get used to the heat. I don't know how I used to manage to work out in it & live without A/C. This is the first house where we've had it.

[Nina]

Nineties here all week.

[Nina]

Ninety three and humid. Not good weather.

[Mary JL]

Currently in Omaha, Nebraska the temperature is 95 degrees with a heal index of 108 degrees.

We have been under an excessive heat advisory warning since 1PM on Wed. July 17th and this is extended and not expected to end until 7PM on Sat. July 20th. Very difficult. Even with A/C the humidity stays in the air. This morning, it only "cooled cown" to 82!

Are you getting this massive heat wave as well? Keep cool, all!

[Jim]

About what we have today & yet Marg is getting a load of hay. Sigh.

[Nina]

Ninety seven degrees here today and tomorrow and then a cold front and mostly in the eighties next week. Can't wait.

[Nina]

So far this week we have had nine and one half inches of rain. Rain again tonight. Yesterday the temp. was ninety four degrees and today it's sixty four degrees. Thirty degree difference in one day.

[Jim]

Wow! We're still suffering with a drought. Send some rain this way, please.

[Nina]

In the eighties here and so far this past two weeks we have had then and one half inches of rain. Maybe it will come your way soon. I am off to ID and they just had their first snow. Wish me luck.

[Jim]

Snow. Wow. We're supposed to hit 97 today. Good luck, Nina!

[Jim]

Well, Tuesday hit 98 degrees in Lexington & next Tuesday the low is supposed to be 42 degrees. Most of that change will take place on Monday. A 56 degree change. Ugh.

[Nina]

After eighties all this week it is now cold in the fifties. Such a change makes us feel the cold.

[Nina]

It snowed yesterday in ID as we were leaving.

[Nina]

First frost tonight.

[Jim]

I think we're supposed to get ours tonight or tomorrow night.

[Nina]

Today is 68 and tomorrow 73 degrees. It is an up and down temps now as next week is 68 and next day 56. Flowers still blooming although not as strong as earlier.

[Nina]

Fall colors barely beginning.

[Nina]

Fall colors late. Only one inch rain in Oct. Ten to twenty degrees below normal for OCT. Hope Nov. is better

[Jim]

We've had to bring in our rain gauge. October's high was 97 toward the beginning of the month. The low was 27 as we left it. I've got to get the heater in the horse's water trough, but Marg forgot & filled it back up the other day.
