I have been watching the television and they are saying we are in for ice and snow, starting tonight.
They said plan for electic to be out.
Last weather here on the forum we had a weather topic so I wanted to start it up again.
I found this site for us to follow. I dont know if it covers the world or not .

Our weather is about to turn a bit as well...Tomorrow we will be down in the 30's...Yesterday it was humid and in the 70's and thats about how today is as well...

In Houston we usually don't have to many real cold days any longer...Snow would be a very rare event...

If you end up losing power Kim, stay warm...Thank goodness for firewood, gas heaters and blankets...

Tomorrow is our first day of volunteering with the Houston Police Department and the Houston Police Acedemy Allumni Assoc...It's going to be raining and somewhere in the 30's.... perfect timing, that is...
Yep, were going to be outside under a tent...

It's raining, lightly, here in Ohio. Temperature 55! They are calling for a high in the 40s by Thursday and possible snow. Actually pretty warm for this time of year in Ohio!
This is my contribution to the weather watch.
j

In Texas we've had nicer weather than normal for this time of year, it's been sunny and warm. Yesterday was one of those days but tonight it's supposed to snow!

Here in New Mexico, its supposed to get down to the 20's tonight, snow coming in....right now it is chilly and windy, so the front is moving in...brrrr

HAHA you American make me laugh. In Western Canada here we've had a string of -25C thats about -13F and a foot of snow in the last 72 hours; not to mention the windchill that significantly makes it colder outside.

Well here in South Africa, its 31 C which makes us about 56 degrees warmer than you guys in Canada

Yes this weather is something else. It is 70F here now in southern Indiana and in 36 hours the high is suppose to be 30F. It is just hard for for old bones to adjust to that drastic change but we will. God Bless,. offgrid.

I turned on the weather channel and its 72c and by midnight we will have freezing rain. We are in a Toranado watch and a Winter storm warning. Snow moving in early in the morning with 3 to five inches of snow. At least the snow will be over the ice so it will be easier to drive.
At noon they said some places will get up to a foot of snow, they are not sure where yet. I dont worry so much about the snow but the ice is a different matter.
Yes, they are saying there will be power outages. I am going to the grocery store and get some food. I dont do hardly any plowing on the roads here because of the mountains.
Kim

Here in central Tennessee, next to Alabama border, it has been very warm 67 degrees. Short time!
Felt all week like spring. We are fixing to have our behinds frozen as well...

I live in New Hampshire.. that the little state above Massachusetts and borders Canada. Itsbeen bizarre normally we would already have snow. It was mild last year too.. like Spring instead of Winter. I do ntlike thecold that much either. So why am I here? Too broke to move away...

They just came on television a few minutes ago and said we will be having a storm here within a few minutes with winds 60mph. From what I'm getting on tv the toranados are north east of here about 65-75 miles from us. I think it is where Ducktape lives.
Now they are saying freezing rain by midnight. It feels so funny out side now.
Kim

its snowing here right now!!!

Man I went in to Wal Mart tonight it was just cold, came out and could not get my doors opened in the car.

It was pouring freezing rain and sleet! My windshield was so thick and frozen over it took me a long time to get it scraped off. I think we have snow coming in the morning. It is just too stinken cold in Oklahoma!

Hi everyone,
I live in southern Canada and we have had unusually high temperatures for this time of year.
Just out in a sweatshirt, but some have been wearing shorts.

In other parts of Canada they are getting lots of snow and very cold temperatures, unusual for them.
Parts of Vancouver island are having weather (cold, lots of snow) that they don't normally get.

What is normal anymore anyway. Friday our temperatures are supposed to drop.
It has felt like spring here lately. But I am afraid it is going to change.

love,
rosie

Hi there fellow Ohioian!
It sure does sound like up here closer to the lake area we may be in for some colder weather and snow. But boy the weather has just been beautiful this last week!

SD

Here in northern Ohio this last week the weather has been beautiful, warm and sunny, much to our surprise. Before this it was so rainy, cold and so gloomy. But there's a change coming, I can feel it in my body. The weather people are saying the cold and snow is heading our way. I'm in that area where we can get the lake affect from Canada. (Thanks guys. )

Hey Val....That system that past through there is about to pass through where I live...It is up in Conroe,Texas right now and that's only about 40 miles away from me...Right now it is still humid and 70 something...In a mere hour or so it will drop to the 50's with wind gusts making it feel in the 40's....

ARG!!! I get to be in this weather for 8 hours today and tomorrow....Hooray for me!!!!!

ewwww.... it's heading this way today. EWWWW!

I have to drive up near Chicago tomorrow... I hope the roads won't be too big of a mess.

Hi Neighbor!
Still 56 here and the wind is picking up. According to the radar the front is just coming into the northwest part of Ohio. It wouldn't hurt my feelings if it went down to about 15 and stayed there for a couple weeks. Kill of some of those germs that are floating around!! I am not afraid of those little "boogers" that stalk in the darkness, but I do wish that my nose would stop runnings. I have a kleenex attached to my right hand. It is starting to take root!!!
j

It's been snow ice and wind here but last night it rained and melted it all away. Good thing cause l got lots to do and the roads and ice were hindering.

We have freezing rain and sleet now. I heard on the Weather Channel that OK is really getting it bad right now.
This time yesterday it was 72 and now it is 28.
kim

Yes Kim it it crazy cold! It started with freezing rain and sleet last night and has snowed the entire day!

Whew, 1st time we have all be snowed in for a very long time!



Love ya,

Val

It is starting to get bad here now just in the last few minutes so I guess we are going to get what you have been getting all day.
I heard you guys had a blizzard warning.
I have been thinking of you so please keep us posted.
Kim

Laughing at this vision of you!

From the last weather report we just might miss the mess that is hitting the others in the west. But it is raining now. Just the thought of all that freezing rain, snow and cold makes my body hurt! Ohhh I just not ready for this cold weather to happen. (Can't wait to go to the Gulf Coast in December for a few weeks, uhmmm warmth!)
SD

Hi Stormy,
Our church is going to Mississipi to build some houses for Habitat for Humanity. Have you got a hammer?
Just looked at the radar and we are getting now is just the front edge. The storm is fairly broad and the freezing rain and snow is on the back edge. I was out in the rain for a little bit with our dog, and the kleenex came off. I will have to get another one soon or keep my tongue sticking out! better get the kleenex.
j

That is enough of the foolishness!
Today has been real different. It was 55 at 7 and now it is 29! Large power outages to our south and east but we missed that. It was really something to watch the rain in sheets and the wind blowing them almost horizontal. But God has been good!! No Damage! Sorry if my foolishness offended anyone! Just the way I am at times.
j

We were totally cheated here in the Ozarks of Arkansas! We were supposed to get 5-7 inches of snow and all we got were icy roads. Bummer. I love the snow, it's so pretty. Makes everything look clean and new, somehow. Oh, well, maybe next time?

Spring Snow Dumps on Upper Northeast


http://apnews.myway.com/article/20070405/D8OAKDRO2.html

So, I guess this mean P.Phill was wrong....LOL! His prediction was winter would not extend the extra 6 weeks....

Where I live in north of Barrie, Ontario, we have already got about 3 inches of snow today with another 15 inches or so forcast! So much for our early spring!

Here in Arkansas, they are calling for snow tonight. We are under some kind of warning but havent had time to see what one the TV.
Kim

Well, lets see....Here up in Northeastern Ohio, Yesterday it was almost 80, but this morning I woke up to find a couple of inches of snow! OHHHHHH I want this snow to be gone!!! It's been snowing all day and the temp has remained in the 20's. Talk about a freaky start to spring. My poor tulips that had finally come up are now covered in snow. It sure would be nice to have a real spring, whatever that may be.
SD




Hi J!
I never did see this last message, I would have really liked to help! Let me know the next time your Church may be interested in going down there, I might be able to go then. (PS. Trip was wonderful. The Warmth of the sun and the people just warmed my heart and soul!)
Stormy

Lots and lots of snow again today here in northern Ohio. Hard to believe it's spring. Looking forward to those real spring days!
SD

Last night was 29 degrees...and today was not much warmer...I am glad that the garden isn't in the ground just yet! My Roses are blooming though...

After unusally cold front moved through Memphis. We had high winds up to 45 miles per hour, that knocked out some power here...

Bismarck sees record snowfall
By GORDON WEIXEL
Bismarck Tribune

http://www.bismarcktribune.com/articles/20...news/131842.txt

Sure glad I am in the south....and I am praying for those that are dealing with all that snow.

We notice some trees blown over yesterday from the high winds.
This morning we also heard of blizard warnings in AZ. for today. These are the stories my parents told me to watch out for in the last days.
Kim

I will tell you something amazing! It's related to my book! (It's just too curious)!
I was born again before Easter and found the website on Easter. I started writing the book a year later on easter, and the publisher called me on Easter week 3 years later!
I found the book looking for the tomb of... Esther!
The date of the movie about... Esther (One Night with the King) is coded with the book I wrote and my birthday!

And now, here, just before this Easter, record high (88) and low (26) within 2 days!
Somehow, Easter/Esther/my book who talks about time and the weather are connected!

In France, we have the same word for "time" and... "weather"!!!etc...
I live in the house of a doctor named... "WEATHERS!

I see a pattern of God's anger in the weather. Bees in the US leave their hives and never come back. Bees disappear. This is devestating to most of the food crops. Everything from corn to apples depend on bees. But people reacted with a ho hum atitude, thinking, well, there are still plenty of fruit developing. Lo and behold, what little the bees did pollinate got completely destroyed by the cold weather! It fits the Biblical pattern, God sends one event to destroy a crop, then creates another event to wipe out whatever is left. God is judging America and the evidence is plainly visible in these events. Not only these combined crop losses raise the prices, but the demand for alternative fuels is driving up the cost of foods like beef because the grains used to feed the farm animals are also in demand as alternative fuels. The cost of wheat broke records, it has shot up in price. There is a kind of fungus that is spreading all over the world, harming the wheat harvest.

"A quart of wheat for a day's wages and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!"

It's comming.

Your Friend in Christ,

Messiahiscoming

Flyingsquirrel, yep, you got it right...Biblical Prophecy coming to pass...pestilences, weather patterns changing, food shortages, drought...all the things that JESUS told us to look for...

Matthew 24 and Luke 21.

Well, during the days around Easter all it did was snow. There was about two feet on top of my car! The whole time I'm trying once again to shovel this heavy snow, (and my back's killing me), all I could think about was I am soooo done with this snow!!!!! I don't want anymore snow!!! or cold!! I felt so tired and weary that I just could finish shoveling.

From all the weather reports from today they said that pretty much we'll be lucky if we see 40's within the next 7 days. Well, at least it has rained and was above freezing so all the snow has melted. (Thank you Lord!!!!)

Something happened on that day that I was shoveling, (and yes gumbling), the snow. I was shoveling my walk and looking at my poor flower beds, thinking about my destroyed tulips that had just come up before it had snowed, when all of a sudden I felt the Lord speak to me. He let me know that I should be grateful for all the water, snow or other wise that we have had this winter because a terrible drought is coming. I felt in my spirit he was warning me that we are going to have a very hot and dry summer.

I thought about this, and I also thought about that this would represent the spiritual condition as well.

We watch the weather on t.v. this morning and they are calling for rain and snow showers today and tomorrow also. Whew, we are in the South and still getting it.
Kim

Just found this reading through the news site. I hate storms, and they always seem to come when the kid's and I are by ourselves. Anyone in the mid-east coast we can come stay with!?

Devastating Storm Heads East

The entire eastern half of the U.S. is bracing for a monster storm, the likes of which one forecaster says occur "once every 20 years."

A storm system heading east from the Rockies is expected to strengthen over the Atlantic and form a huge nor'easter that will barrel up the East Coast, bringing gale-force winds, driving rain and heavy snow to much of the eastern half of the country.

Forecaster Brian Korty says the entire eastern part of the U.S. will feel the effects in the coming days. He calls it the kind of storm that happens "once every 20 years."

Accuweather.com predicts the storm will flood low-lying areas and cause coastal erosion. Inland areas could see a record-breaking snowstorm.

Stormy weather moving though our area now...

State College, PA) - A major and potentially costly storm is developing across the southern Plains. After dumping up to a foot of snow in parts of Colorado and New Mexico, the storm is now producing heavy snow across Kansas into eastern New Mexico. In some areas, it looks like a blizzard. Severe weather, including an outbreak of tornadoes, was unfolding across west and central Texas and Oklahoma this evening.

Our Severe Weather center will show all the watches and warnings associated with the storm as it continues to produce adverse weather across the southern Plains through tonight. The snow will continue to rage into the night as thunderstorms erupt across Texas into the lower Mississippi Valley. This is the type of situation, where tornadoes will develop due to strong shear present across Texas. In addition, the storms will produce damaging winds and large hail. The Southwest Regional News has more about the damaging storms and snow that fell over southern Rockies. The squall line that evolves out of the thunderstorms will move across the South Saturday into Saturday night with additional damaging wind gusts, large hail and tornadoes expected.

North of the severe weather, a snowstorm will continue across western Kansas, southwest into New Mexico. According to the Midwest Regional News story, the storm tapping into rich moisture from the Gulf of Mexico will dump up to 12 inches of snow from far northeastern New Mexico to southwestern Kansas into early tonight. Travel, both on the ground and in the air, will be hazardous in this region not only due to heavy, accumulating snow, but also because visibility will drop tremendously in blowing snow.

When the storm strengthens into a major nor'easter off the Northeast coast by the end of the weekend, a reappearance of heavy wet snow will be definite across far northern New England Sunday night into Monday. The East Regional News story discusses that chances for either a deluge of rain or a burying in a potentially record-challenging snowstorm in the rest of the interior Northeast will depend on the exact track of the storm.

Wherever wet snow falls, our Winter Weather Center is warning that the weight of snow, which will be loaded with moisture, could cause roofs to fail and may be responsible for power outages as power lines and tree limbs are brought down. The threat for flooding will quickly follow the storm's passage as temperatures moderate.

East of the area with the threat for a late-season snowstorm, the East Regional News story also states that a flooding rain will begin to spread over the eastern mid-Atlantic states and coastal parts of New England Sunday, with Monday's Boston Marathon possibly being adversely affected by the storm. Gale-force winds shifting to the north of the storm will blast the immediate shoreline and bring a threat of coastal flooding and beach erosion.

Coastal Flood Watch

Statement as of 3:59 PM EDT on April 13, 2007


... Coastal Flood Watch in effect from Sunday afternoon through
Sunday evening...

The National Weather Service in Upton has issued a coastal Flood
Watch... which is in effect from Sunday afternoon through Sunday
evening.

A significant... possibly major... Nor'easter will affect the
region on Sunday and Sunday night. This storm will bring strong
northeast winds to the area on Sunday... causing water to pile up
in New York Harbor and along the South Shore of Long Island. The storm
will also coincide with a period of higher than normal Spring tides.
Minor coastal flooding will be possible during the high tide
cycle on Sunday morning. During the high tide cycle of Sunday
evening... only 1.5 to 2.5 feet of tidal surge will be needed to
produce moderate coastal flooding. The surge during this time is
expected to be above these levels... with preliminary surge
forecasts of around 3 feet. This would produce serious coastal
flooding similar to that experienced during the Halloween storm of
1991 and the superstorm of March 1993.

Although the coastal Flood Watch is posted only for the Sunday
evening high tide cycle at this time... there is a strong
possibility that the storm may stall south of Long Island... and coastal
flood watches and/or warnings may need to be extended into Monday
and Monday night. This scenario could result in significant
coastal flooding again with the high tide cycle Monday
morning... and major coastal flooding with the high tide on Monday
evening. Water levels Monday evening could potentially approach
levels last observed during the major Nor'easter of December 1992.

A coastal Flood Watch means that conditions favorable for
flooding are expected to develop. Coastal residents should be
alert for later statements or warnings... and take action to
protect property.

Seen that Dallas had some Tornado warnings too!

We had hail today and it is still on the ground now. It's 42 out side and it hailed.
I heard Dalles is really getting it now.
Kim

The storm that Dallas is getting is suppose to skirt us tonight sometime....We just replaced the roof over over 44' deck....Josh wanted to put sheetmetal on this time, but thank goodness he used tie downs...The wind hopefully won't rip it off...We had a shingle roof on it and I wonder if we should have just put a new shingle roof back on....

Yep! Things are picking up, and if your not keen on these signs, man, your just plain blind....

Hi there ArmyWife!
I use to live in Newport RI area so I understand your concern. Sounds like it's going to be a pretty bad storm if your near the water. Hopefully your base might have some places for emergency's if it's needed. But most homes that are in the New England area are pretty sturdy and will hold up fine, just stock up on some food and water and lots of batteries for your radio and flashlights, (one of those little portable tv's really comes in handy!). If you've got a fireplace get some extra wood. Some times the power can go down for a while, I experienced no power for two weeks once. Just in case you have leave, (even if you don't), pack up some things for you and the kids, (and pets), just in case. (If your not sure what to take look up on the Red Cross website they have a good list). If you've got an umbudsman find out what some of the other ladies are doing, if your new there and don't know anyone. There's usually someone that also may want some company to ride out the storm with. Just in case know where the nearest emergency shelter is. I know the Lord is with you and your family, as you pray for protection over your home and family the Lord will comfort you and see you through this. Most of the time these things aren't too bad and they leave the area pretty quick so hopefully it won't be as bad as they say. Good luck.

God Bless
Sandra
