Checking Your Weather This Sunday Morning!
Comments (24)For two days, especially today, it was very overcast here. A little while ago, I saw an orange 'patch' on the wall and realized the sun was finally shining in a little peephole in the sky at the same time as it's setting. It's beautiful but I got ticked as that will now make it colder tonight. Now I hear that we're under a winter weather alert......from noon Mon to noon Tues, with same 4/6 inches total, same as Nancy. I'm in Ohio. Please, please, winter bad weather, STOP!!!! I'm hollering 'Uncle'. Shirley...See MoreWeather Check-please list the state also
Comments (39)The weather has been a bit chilly and we are in for some rain Sunday to Tuesday. I don't mind the cooler weather but it is freezing in my house and I have been using a hand warmer when I am on the computer. I am still using flannel sheets and a blanket for goodness sakes. LOL I dread the hot humid days that are sure to come. This is the weather for Windsor, Ontario. I chose Walkerville because it is closer to me than downtown Windsor is and I live fairly close to the river so temps can very a bit as you go inland.

Comments (53)Glad to hear everybody is ok. We spent Wed. Night in the cellar. Here in SW OKC we received over 10" of rain and multiple tornado threats. We spent over 5 hours in the cellar and crawled out to find a river running in front of our house and as far north as I could see!! I think the flooding scared me more than the tornadoes. My daughter and grandson (he's 3 1/2 ) were here and she stayed overnight because she couldn't get home because of the flooding. I am ready to say enough is enough. Our house sits on a hillside to no water in the house, donkeys were in the barn, dogs in the cellar, so all are ok. I am dreading Friday and Saturday, I guess we will be back in the cellar, I just hope the rain is light....See MoreThursday's Severe Weather Check-In Thread
Comments (27)Dulahey, I am so sorry to hear about all the damage, but you and your family are okay. Everything else can be fixes. Your garden and yard are so beautiful and I am confident you'll have everything back shipshape in no time at all. That's too bad about the onions. You still could yank them out of the ground (if the growing tips are damaged and I imagine they are), slice or chop and freeze them to use in cooking. That's the hard thing about growing both corn and onions here---if the growing tip is broken, the plants don't regrow and produce. If by chance your outer leaves are broken but the growing tips in the center are intact, the onions might recover. At least you didn't take a harder hit to the house---so, as bad as things look now, they could be worse. I hope the little Purple Martins were okay. Our PMs already have their second round of eggs in their nests, and the juvenile birds from the first hatch are flying and doing their share of eating the nine billion mosquitoes that the wet conditions have brought to us. (I'm just guestimating nine billion---I didn't go out and do a mosquito census.) You know, there's tons of things you could start from seed now and still get a great harvest: squash, watermelons, okra, and even the southern peas of your choice (blackeyes, pink eye purple hull, zipper, crowder, cream, or lady peas). Don't let this weather steal your gardening joy. Even flowers and herbs would be enjoyable compared to looking at empty beds and thinking about what the storms took from you. Earth Sister, I agree with everything you said. I'd be so tempted to take all that trash and return it to them as well, although Tim likely would stop me from doing it. I have said it many times and will say it over and over and over again: we won the Best Neighbors In The World lottery when we bought this land and moved here, having nothing but the best neighbors on all sides of us. I still cannot believe we got so lucky, and wish y'all had had the same luck we've had. It only takes one un-neighborly neighbor to ruin a neighborhood. Busy1, I am sorry for your neighbor troubles too. Maybe the rain will wash them away. George, How could you sleep through the storms? I got almost no sleep on Wed night/Thursday morning because our storms rolled in around 1 or 2 am and stayed loud and crazy forever. I got twice as much sleep last night so I feel like a new person this morning. kfrinkle, I assume you got what already had come through here. It was so loud and crazy with all that lightning and thunder, and it goes without saying that none of us down here in SC OK wanted or needed more rain. Our rainfall never matches our mesonet station's either as we're several miles from them. I try to keep a running total for our place in my head and we often run higher than our mesonet station all spring and sometimes in the summer, but by the end of the year they almost always catch up with us and we end up with about the same amount. It is good to see Texoma rising, but now we are at the point where they have to start wondering if the marinas and campgrounds are going to flood. It seems like it is always feast or famine around the lake. So, you don't have much planted yet? Are y'all too wet? I have the whole front garden planted, but don't know how the lower portion without the raised beds is going to fare. It depends on how much more rain we get and on how quickly it comes. The back garden? Completely untouched. There's perennial herbs and flowers back there, but it is a muddy, weed-filled mess. I doubt I'll get it planted this month, but I haven't lost hope yet. It is reserved for hot-season plantings, including southern peas, okra, watermelons, muskmelons, Armenian cucumbers, winter squash, some summer squash and cucumbers, so I'd hate to not get those things planted. I still have time to plant all of them and get a harvest but the hard part is going to be just getting it to a plantable condition. If I can't get the back garden whipped into shape, I'll have to wait and plant the hot season crops as succession plants in the front garden after all the cool-season crops are harvested. That's not ideal, but it might be the best I can do with the sort of weather we are having. At this point maybe we all should be planting water cress and rice. We had a lot of street flooding in town and cars washing off roads and into ditches and such last night, and I just want to say that it is hard to feel sympathy for ANYONE who drives around a barricade and deliberately drives into a flooded roadway. Barricades exist for a reason. At least one roadway in Love County is closed until further notice because the road washed out. Down in the Valley View and Sanger area where they had the tornadoes and other severe weather to our south, a train derailed off the railroad tracks. Someone sent me a photo of it, but I haven't seen the news so don't know if that train was blown off or washed off or what. In the photo I can see train cars piled on top of train cars but don't know if the piling was from the force of the derailment or if weather "helped" create that mess. Okay y'all, we can keep talking about the weather and its effects on our homes, yards and gardens on this thread all day, but y'all know I will go and start a Friday Check-In Thread later this afternoon. If you aren't watching the weather to our west/southwest, there's already a Tornado Watch active in west Texas for a whole bunch of counties in the area covered by the NWS-San Angelo and NWS-Lubbock. I haven't looked at the radar yet to see if the party has started, but once it starts, those storms could roll towards SW or W OK. What are we going to do if we can't spend the weekend out in our yards and gardens???? I'd rather be out there in the yard or garden doing chores---mowing, edging, pruning, weeding, anything.......and instead we'll likely be inside watching the radar and running to our storm shelter locations and hoping to escape further damage. Rainfall is good but too much at one time is not, and it seems like we are only getting the kind of rain that is accompanied by severe weather this spring. Whatever happened to a nice, slow, kind, gentle, easy-going spring rainfall? I hope the western OK lakes are able to refill the way the ones in central and eastern OK are. The Red River is looking bigger and crazier every day now. Dawn...See More- 7 years agolast modified: 7 years ago
