Your Weather (Page 11 of 12)

Things are bad around here. Lots of folks have had to abandon their homes due to the rains. The rain came so fast that no one had time to prepare for what happened. With Monroe / West Monroe being a "river city" and the river rising over 6' in a 24 hour perion is totally unheard of. So far we have been lucky in there has only been 3 deaths confirmed. It could have been much worse. The rain appears to have stopped this morning so we are getting a well deserved break. We have received right around 21 inches of rain since late Tuesday afternoon. Me and mine are high and dry and we are very thankful for that. I have a couple of "carpet blower" fans that I am carrying to some friends so they can begin to dry their house out, today. I imagine they will get well used before I get them back. Anyway, ya'll keep us in your prayers - we need them.

Yeah Joe, we woke up to 3" of snow this morning.  20 miles north of here they didn't get anything.  Last week I was running around in a tee shirt.

Oh well........

We're just coming off almost 2 weeks of unseasonably good..... shoot, it was 83 on my back porch in the shade on Thursday!  Folks are still driving around with snowboards on the roof rack though.

This keeps up, we'll be having to plow the fire-breaks real early!

I feel your pain!  It was BEAUTIFUL here for a while.  Spring was springing up all over.  Then all of a sudden we got snow and it hasn't warmed back up since. We're on about 2 weeks of the "spring joke" now.  Snow this time of year here is no biggie, but it doesn't generally fall after the flowers come up. 

Took me awhile to find this. I didn't realize how long it had been since a post was made in this thread.

First day of Spring here in the Northern Hemisphere and we have 6" of fresh snow on the ground.

30 miles to our South and they're expecting 15"

Yeah. You guy's got pounded pretty hard this season. Most of the snow missed us by skirting off to our South or East. Guess we're paying for it now.

Hoping to get to the range today in order to see what all the wind over the winter has done to our 3D range. It's a 2.1 mile path winding back and forth through 38 acres of woodland. There are at least three trees along the path that need to be removed, but because of placement make removal difficult. I should have Uncle Joe come down to shoot a round and expound upon the nature of tree removal then repair to the clubhouse for a fire and picking.

Probably not this year, though Topdawgz is looking to do something on Memorial Day weekend in his neck of the woods. Things are still too up in the air with my Dad for me to plan.

Yep. The weather guru's are calling for 1"-3" here as well. But being April, it won't stick around long.

70 here in southern Ohio today also.  76 and sunny predicted for tomorrow and my favorite smallmouth stream is the only one in a 50 mile radius that isn't flooded so I'll be out floating in one of my kayaks and flinging lures tomorrow morning.  I had a minor procedure performed on my back today to reduce pain in my legs. The doc told me to take it easy a couple days and avoid exposing the area to contaminated water to prevent infection.  I explained that I have been waiting 5 months for ideal conditions on the stream and tomorrow was going to be "the day" as rain is expected over the weekend and will probably muddy the water and make it unfishable again. He shook his head, grinned and finally told me to go ahead but be extra careful.

So I'll be able to fish tomorrow, make it to the weekly Saturday morning  jam session at the local music store, play again for a "special needs" children's group Monday, then head for Alabama and Florida for 10 days with my camper, bringing along a guitar for a little "campfire pickin" .  I have to admit this retirement life  is pretty sweet........!!!!

I would love 70’s. Still in the 40’s here. Chance of snow again this weekend.
