We had a quick wet very windy spell this afternoon. It ripped both garage doors right off my husbands new barn. We are grateful it didn't mess up our new truck.

Under severe weather watch, tornadoes, until 4 am, and tomorrow more of the same. It's 70 outside right now.

Have flashlight ready, battery fan, in case electricity goes off.

Stay safe!

Cloudy, windy and chilly today...but starting Sunday evening, we are to have snow...possibly 14"!....oh I hope that does not happen...hate the stuff

Very rainy day, temp now 60. The backyard was filled with birds today: various finches, a couple blue jays, a small bird very much like a blue jay, but I can't remember the name, two woodpeckers, one was a downy. A few miles from here forsythia is blooming. Go figure.

Merry Christmas.

Today was in the 50's, but I found out that we are suppose to get snow on Sunday or Monday.

I absolutely hate this weather. It's the middle of the night now on Xmas eve day in PA. and the temp is 65!!! The normal high in the DAY is 39 now and tomorrow it will be in the 70's. The ski resorts are closed and life sucks. People are shopping in shorts and flipflops . And it's drizzly, raining, humid and foggy. Bah Humbug!

In Columbus, OH pansies are blooming.

I hate this unseasonably warm weather. It's winter and we should be shovelling. We've set record temperatures all week. I don't like rain, fog and drizzle.

2 years ago we had an ice storm that had power lines and trees down and people stranded at the airports. Hydro was out for several days in parts of the area. Not fun over the Christmas holidays, for sure.

For those in the flood areas, my thoughts are with you.

I am sorry to hear about your husband's barn doors Susie! I hope they can get them put back on. We did set a high here yesterday according to the weatherman, 64 degrees. Not supposed to be quite as warm today. Lots of rain yesterday for us too.

Lightning and thunder here all last evening - really bright and scary lightning too! and it rained hard for a spell. I wonder how many houses lost their Christmas decorations?

grainlady, that means your daughter may not live terribly far from me! WE had some wacky weather last night. There was a tornado on the ground for over 100 miles, from Clarkdale MS through Selmer TN. Another cell picked up around Waynesboro TN and was threatening Nashville.

High of 74 today.....going for a run later. I usually can't run outside after October and I've run several times this month!

I guess I am about the only one who is thankful for the warmer weather. The old saying is, "If you live in Kansas and don't like the weather, just wait until tomorrow and it will change."..and it sounds like we might get about 14" of snow starting Sunday night....and I really dislike that thought!

I am so sorry for those who had storms or a tornado last night...I hope none of you or your loved ones were affected.

Cold, but snow on the ground in ND

Had to run the AC last night. The wildflower seeds I planted a few weeks ago are starting to sprout. It has been warm enough so I've been working in the garden the past few days.

We are done with the warm weather - the weeds are loving this, the lawn is till green. Unheard of in central Illinois.

Now comes the rain. I just checked the forecast and added it all - Saturday and Sunday - almost 4" of rain is forecast and then some freezing rain on Monday followed by more rain!

Gosh, you all have been having exciting weather...glad that most of it hasn't been too dangerous. Here in Southern Oregon...it's "southern Oregon" rainy and dreary. We had a dusting of snow yesterday morning while the foothills and Mountains all around us got inches. Skiers are happy as the ski areas are operating for the first time in a few years. Mountain passes are open...and closed, depending on the direction one goes.Not too cold...hovering at the freezing/non-freezing level. Counting on that old sun to keep moving back where it needs to be...in the northern hemisphere. Hope everyone has a safe and wonderful day.
