Weather's Gone Crazy

"The National Guard was also mobilized in Kansas, where at least 50,000 homes and businesses were blacked out and stretches of more than a dozen highways were closed. Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius declared an emergency.

Parts of Kansas got up to 32 inches of snow and wind piled it into drifts 15 feet high. The state Highway Patrol used an airplane to find stranded motorists."

(Then again, I've been in storms living in upstate NY where snow drifted high enough to cover the entire side of the house (lake effect snow). Chest high drifts were common and I remember a storm in the late 70's piling snow well over my head in some spots. )

It's still 80 degrees here in Florida.

Weather is weird.

It's manic here, big wind and rain. Maybe it's just winter but it's never this bad.

Yup I remember when I was younger (like 10-15 years ago) and my dad would be shovelling feet high snow. Now it's all gone.

Around this time we would have had several snow falls here in new york. We've had not one with similar to spring temperatures.

I'm half expecting to see a dog go flying past the window.

We've had crazy weather in bc for the last couple of months. From torrential downpours that caused a boilwater advisory for a million plus people in vancouver, to severe windstorms that knocked out power all across the province. We've had hurricane force winds on some coastal areas of the province over the last month as well. Tonight, it's raining. We never get rain at this time of the year, it's crazy. The little halfmelted bit of sno we have will be gone by the middle of the day tomorrow. Usually we are hovering around 10 degrees below freezing (celcius).
