Well, I finally ventured outside today and here a picture I took of some of results of our snowstorm.  :yikes:  It has totally covered my raised bed as well as cage on top that is filled with straw to protect my strawberry plants.   :wink5:

Cold and crisp here. 29* when I woke up. Killed my huge Pothos and Schefflera. :Crybaby: **sigh** Stupid Doug was supposed to move his cherry(antique) table so I could bring them in and didn't, so I had no room to bring them in. :Crybaby2:

That is so sad Tonya. 

It is raining and windy here, we are expecting another major storm to be going all day today with high winds, lots of rain and they are forecasting 3 feet of snow in the mountains.  I hope it stays cold or we are going to have more flooding.

Oh, Tonya, I'm so sorry you lost your plants.  I don't know anything about your Pothos, but years ago my Schefflera got bit by freezing temperatures and it looked pretty pathetic.  :yikes:  But, I brought it inside and it came back for me.  :yesssss:  I don't know if it will even help, but it's at least worth a try.  :wink5:

Hey, Triss, keep us posted on what happens.   :wink5:  I think that could be the storm they're expecting us to get this week-end.   :unsure:

Oh, Rita, I'm really sorry to hear that, but you don't have any ice do you?  :SmileyQmarks:  No, you can't fight the weather, but you can complain about it and sometimes that helps you feel better! :rofl1: I  hope you don't get too much so it ruins your Christmas plans. 

It's above freezing here and supposed to warm up more tomorrow, so I hope it gets rid of all this snow before we get some more this week-end.  :SmileyFit:  Fortunately, a lot of it is melting already.  Here's a picture I took yesterday with one of the limbs that came down with the storm and snow.   :(

Everyone had doors open yesterday. Went by my girlfriends house she had front and back doors open and she and her kids were wearing shorts. This morning was 60 until about noon wind switched from a south wind to a strong north wind about 50 mph in an hour it was 36 and still is right now no shorts today heavy coats and heat on.

Hey, Jimmy, it got up to 55 degrees here today, and I was running around in a light jacket.  :yesssss:  Unfortunatley, things changed rather quickly this evening, and I drove home from my daughter's in sleet and freezing cold temperatures.  Right now, it's 28 degrees, but the wind is blowing at 24 mph, so the wind chill is 14!  :yikes:

that 4 inches turned into 10 inches  :Wow: We have lots of the stuff to share! there is about 2 feet in my yard.It would be close to 3 feet but we got some of the ice storm last week that packed it down..  it is suppose to get in the 50's today and rain. I hope it don't cause any flooding over the holiday.

Wrennie, that sounds like a good plan, especially with the weather you've got there.   :wink5:  Tomorrow, I'm going to a friend's house  to celebrate Christmas Eve, but it only takes about 15-20 minutes to get there and so far our weather is okay with nothing in the forecast.  :yesssss:  A few years ago when we got a bad snow and ice storm and it took me over an hour to get there, then closer to 2 hours to get back home.  :thpullhairout:  Christmas Day I'm going to my daughter's, and she lives right here in town so that won't be a problem for me either.  ;)

Hey, I'm happy to report that we had some wonderful weather for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!  :banana02:  It was sunny both days, a little cold yesterday, but no snow or ice to contend with so it wasn't too bad!  Well, today it actualy got up to 52 degrees this afternoon, so it was great.  :Yahoo: Of course, tonight it's down to 26 right now, but I'm home and snug as a bug in a rug, so it doesn't even bother me.  :Whis:  I hope everyone had some good weather for all their Christmas celebrations.   ;)

We had off & on rain all weekend & over Christmas, which is normal for here this time of year. Temps have dipped into the mid to low 30's a couple times, but that never usually lasts very long. (hours.) Snow was forecast at 500 feet for last night, so I went out & covered up several things in the garden yesterday, that I hadn't gotten the chance to do before now. Roseburg sits at 465 feet, but we're on a bluff overlooking the city, so we're up there, somewhere around today's snow line. 
:idea: (Gotta check with my new GPS & see if it shows elevation.)

Ten minutes ago, it was 37° & this is what was happening...
     (https://www.southernspirithunters.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi75.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fi309%2Fgottahavegraphics%2FMisc%2FSnow12-26.jpg&hash=e66635a8663927e3a5224b8bbc2ddd9bce852c11)
Pretty, but it wasn't sticking.

Right now it's 42° & the sun is shining bright on everything that's wet! :nutz:

When LaRelle came in to work this morning from 15 miles south, she said there was 3" of snow at her house. Friends 20 miles to the north say they've been getting snow for the past 5 days.

Yay microclimate!  :yesssss:  :yay_jump:  :Yahoo:

We have rain! :yay_jump: :yay_jump: :yay_jump:

We need it so badly. I am just glad that it didn't rain while we had the family celebration going on here on Saturday...

The only snow I want to see is the kind like Rita sent me. Y'all keep that cold stuff where you have it.... :grinnnn:

Rained and windy this morning. Cleared off this afternoon never got out of the high 40's it is 42 now wind 33mph out of the North. Calling for snow flurries north of us around the Red River not expected here but this is Texas always expect the unexpected.

Yes, Patty, I know all about your microclimate and sure do envy you because you can do what everyone around you can't even dream of doing.   :SmileyFit: 

Actually, we're doing pretty well around here with some milder than normal temperatures, so I'm enjoying it while I can! :yesssss:  I can't believe that it got up to 50 degrees today, but it's dropping to freezing tonight.  :Whis:  I figure every day we get like this will help to keep the heating costs down and that's plus!  :wink5:

Been snowing here on and off since Christmas.  A couple of inches on the ground with the grass still showing though.  Unfortunately there is rain in the forecast for this week so it will all be gone before we know it.

Well, the daytime temperatures have been pretty decent since Christmas Eve, but it's gets a lot colder during the night!  :SmileyFit:  It got up to 47 degrees this afternoon, but it's going to get down to 30 tonight!  (https://www.southernspirithunters.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi17.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fb55%2Fthewrensnest%2Fsmileys%2Fwinter_brr.gif&hash=fac9921ec417b21ca2388c068500d392a20f3f28)  Still no snow or ice here, but that could change tomorrow since some showers are predicted.  :dunno:   I'm just hoping it doesn't interfere with my plans to go to my daughter's house to celebrate New Year's Eve!   :smileyNo:

We had a white christmas this year - the first one that I can remember.  Woohoo.

Anywho, current weather is windy and cold.  I took the girls out to play and it was 27 with about a 20 mph wind.  Needless to say, we didn't stay out long.  Most of the snow we got last week has melted, only about an inch or two in shady spots and the drifts.

Oh the weather outside is frightful. It is snowing, again.
"Periods of snow before 2pm, then periods of rain between 2pm and 4pm, then snow likely after 4pm. High near 35. South wind 8 to 10 mph becoming west. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches possible."

Right now, in mid-afternoon, it's probably warmer than it has been all day.  Actually, it's 22 degrees, but it feels like 7 since we have 20 mph winds, (https://www.southernspirithunters.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi17.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fb55%2Fthewrensnest%2Fsmileys%2Fbrrrrrrrrrrr.gif&hash=d5dfb9a8912a0d5ea6964f64f6968b9b2d75ffb5) so I guess it's pretty cold out there!  Well, I'm staying in the house where it's warm and cozy.  :wink5:

Geesh, Jimmy and Tina, guess we're cut from a different mold because I don't like the cold temperatures and love the warm weather.  :wink5:

It is mostly cloudy here, the sunshine weakly slipping through the high wispy clouds.  I think it is supposed to get up to the 50's today, which will be a pleasant deviation from the norm.  It was in the 50's yesterday, so we took the girls out to run off some energy while we raked up about ten thousand little broken branches and pulled them out of the ground as well.  On the plus side, out front yard is all cleaned up, minus the humongous pile of branches.  Do not look at my backyard.

A lil sun here today but not too much.  More rain in the forecast and lil flurries of snow.  Won't be enough to stick but as always it is pretty to watch falling.

It was nice out today, and it got up to the mid-70's.  :yay_jump:  Well, now I guess it's payback time.  :yikes:  There are tornado warnings and watches all around us here tonight.  :SmileyFear: On the 10:00 news, they said that three people were killed by a tornado in Missouri somewhere southwest of us, :crying: but don't know any details yet.  The forecast is for strong storms and wind tonight, and we are under a tornado watch until 5:00 am.   :scaredy:  Say some prayers that it goes around us and that there are no more deaths or injuries from these storms.   :pray:

It's snowing out right now.  Guess the weatherman was wrong when he forecasted another day of low 50's.  I doubt any of it will last long thanks to the warm temps the past few days but it sure is pretty too look at.

Yep, that will do it, especially when the ground is so wet.  :SmileyFit:

Last night, we got lots and lots of rain and some strong winds here, but there was no real damage. :happy: A few trash cans were tossed about in some of the yards here. Right now, it's 60 degrees with light showers and some wind, but I have my windows open and it feels so good to get some fresh air in the house. ;) Tonight it's supposed to get down to freezing.  :yikes:

The tornadoes are not anywhere near you, Patti? I thought a couple were in Ill?
It is still cool here, mid 60's. And sprinkles tonight. But we will be warming up the rest of the week. That is good except for  the wind.

Post by: patches on Jan 09, 2008, 04:57:21 AM
No, Tina, they really weren't near here, :smileyNo: but we did get a lot of wind and quite a bit of rain.  About 1-1/2" inches in our area, but there were some places that got up to 3-1/2".  Actually, I didn't hear of any tornados in Illinois, but I missed the news tonight.  The ones that hit Missouri aren't that close to here, although we did get part of the same storms.  :scaredy:

Major change for you Penny.  The sun is out this morning, a bit of a break from the clouds and rain and a sanity break for those of us who need the sun to stay happy.  I sure enjoy these mornings and keep popping outside just to bask in the sunshine.  I know it will not last all that long.

Hey, Christy, I want spring too, I'm so tired of staying in the house!  :thpullhairout:  I want to get out and work in the yard.  It's 34 degrees today and with the wind chill it feels like 24, but the sun is shining, so I'm not complaining.  I think it's supposed to warm up some tomorrow, so it may not be bad when I go to school.  ;)

Its frozen here,, cold, colder, an really cold,,, did i mention its also frozen here.  No snow yet here,, just frost an frozen ice everywhere,, our fjørd is frozen all the way across to the other side now... so maybe we might get snow soon.  we are averaging between 27 an 32 deg F. everyday.

Hey, Wrennie, I agree with you, it's sure a lot easier to tolerate the cold when it's sun is shining. ;)  I hate that gloomy, gray depressed looking sky  :(  It sure contributes to the "winter blues" when the sky is like that!   

Right now, it's 44 degrees, but it feels a little colder with the wind.  Tonight it will be down around freezing.  Sure glad I've got all my plants tucked in for their long, winter nap.   :yesssss:

Well, we've been getting sleet and light snow all afternoon - it started around 9 this morning.  At first it all melted but now it is starting to stick.  The winds have been horrible, blowing steady 25 and gusting to over 30.  I went out to walmart while the streets were still wet (not anywhere near slick yet) and I saw the funniest thing -- something like a 4 door civic high centered on a rock, on top of a median in a parking lot!  The bottom of the car was probably 2.5 ft off the pavement.  All four tires were off the ground.  :laughmao: :laughmao:  I bet that driver felt real intelligent.  I can't laugh to hard, with my luck that could happen to me!  :cringe:

Hey, Tonya, I'm with you on that one!  Evidently, the weather Sarah was getting went in a different direction or mother nature ran out of snow because we didn't get any.  I agree, Wrennie, this thread will be more enjoyable in about 14 weeks.  ;)

It's raining here too, and 35 degrees with a wind chill of 28, but the roads are good so far.  :ThumbUp: I shouldn't have any problems today, but I just pray they're still okay after my night class.   :pray:
