Crazy weather

How appropriate that when discussing the weather, Mrs H types just like a NWS teletype. Make the experience just that much more authentic!

Bug, I understand. It was in the 70's here today. Looking at sever t-storms this weekend. About 12 years ago I saw it go from 84 at noon to having 2" of snow on the ground at 9p and 17F at nidnight. That was a heall of a day.

Will Rogers said of Oklahoma,"If you don't like the weather wait 5 minutes." That seems to be true of many of the plains states.

BTW, we are really big red country.

We got the big now about the 14th. It's almost all melted now. Fucking plows took out the mailbox...



For anyone who is really bored and wants to read the wife's blog post about the storm....

A good friend of mine is the Director of the High Plains Climate Research Center at UNL. He says that due to the seasonal extremes in weather and the frequency of extreme weather events (tornados, blizzards, torrential rains, droughts, etc.) the High Plains (North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Wyoming and Colorado) are considered to have the harshest climate on the planet. Places like the Sonoran and Sahara deserts and the arctic regions, while extreme, they do have a pretty stable climate. We don't.

If you want to check out some incredible weather photos, take a look at Ken Dewey's site: http://www.hprcc.unl.edu/nebraska/photo-gallery.html

I was one of the storm spotters the night that this set of storms took place.

The entire community of Hallam, Nebraska nearly disappeared that night. We had over 30 tornados in less than 8 hours as part of that storm system that went from Kansas, through Nebraska and on into Iowa. As we were preparing to evacuate surviving residents of Hallam to an emergency shelter in the High School in the town of Hickman, another tornado wiped out that building. Yes, weather can be exciting here.

Bug, that sort of shit is nature telling people... "dont live here!! I'll bake you, then freeze you, then if that doesn't scare you off, heres a tornado just to clinch the deal"

Jeez, cant you people take a hint...?

BTW. 100F + here for five days in a row, then its just been in the 90s since... I havent worn pants in the house for a fortnight! On the bright side, neither has the wife

Prove it.

We've had some pretty screwy weather here too. One day it's 8*F, the next day it's 55*F. Go figure.

The whole statement or the individual bits of it?

PS: Still not wearing pants - I did wear pants while brewing today, but thats not in the house.
