WTF?! Today, tornado watches; tomorrow, snow?!

[Behind the Aegis]

I don't know where y'all are, but here in Oklahoma, we were having some lovely weather (86 high today), preparing for the start of tornado season, when alerts flash on our screens..."conditions may be conducive to snow on Thursday evening/Friday morning." Not a "freeze warning," not a "y'all it's gonna be a bit nippy," NO! SNOW..IN MAY! The states above us, should be getting hit soon. I was looking at weather.com and saw predictions for as much as foot of snow in some places. I am so perplexed.

I wonder how this will all play out, especially since so many things are trying to bloom. My roses and irises are already a month behind, and I am afraid this will kill them.

How much do y'all think this will play into "global warming is a hoax" crap?

By the by, from all the weather predictions I have seen, we (in OK) as supposed to have a warmer summer than last year, which will MAJORLY suck, but the east coast is supposed to have a slightly cooler summer.

So, what's the weather like where you are and do you know what your summer will be like?

She's testing y'alls faith in James Inhoff.

2. It was in the 80s here in Houston today, it'll be down in the 40s tomorrow night. It's crazy. n/t

3. It has already dropped to the low 50's here! It was 77 at 9:30!

From the end of February, the weather has been NUTS!

4. Early spring here in West Virginia

Thanks to a mild winter, I expect the insects to be a problem this summer. I think it will get really hot as we get more into summer. Just my opinion. Rainfall adequate overall, with no big floods.

For those who think global warming is a hoax, there is nothing I can do to change their minds. But it is clear to me that the phenomenon is a natural fact.

5. We had tornadoes and snow both

on the same night a few weeks ago. We're in Colorado, so a bit north of you. We had lots of snow today.

6. In Kansas, April has had 20's to mid-80's

4 snows, a couple of thunderstorms and an ice storm that damaged about 40 trees in my yard...having a thunderstorm now..sounds like it will turn to ice or snow later tonight..

We've had more December in April than we had in December..or January for that matter..

7. San Antonio forecast low: 43

Dang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The all time record low for entire month of May is 43.
The average low for May 2nd is 64.

I assume our summer forecast is similar to Oklahoma's. Our summers always $uck anyways. The only hope is that they start late and/or end early.

16. Yeah, Texas is in for another heat wave and possible drought, like us.

Y'all's temperatures are going to be hotter this summer too.

8. Its finally spring here in New England

We all have to get used to these extremes!

hey if you get sick of the tornados and snow... you can always come visit me

14. I can't take another hot summer.

We lost three trees! Our yard was dead so long there was no point in cutting it.

The only place I have been in NE is Boston, which is why the bombing was even more sad for me, because I really enjoyed that city...even when I got there during a Nor'easter. The only place open was a gay bar...had a damn blast!

9. Supposed to hit 80 in southern BC this weekend

I read the summer is supposed to be a bit cooler than normal. Which means we'll be breaking heat records.

When I lived in Alberta, it was common for it to be snowing (and I mean snowing! not flurries) in May one day and 85 two days later. Crazy weather out there.

10. We were at 81 on Monday. It started snowing last night,

has been snowing all day. Northeast Colorado, and parts of the northern mountains are looking to get a couple feet of snow. High today was 28. We desperately need the moisture, but the extremes are a bit tough on these old bones! Anyway, this is likely the storm that's headed your way.

15. it got a bit warmer than that here in foco

but it was still too cold for this time of year.

11. We got a little snow yesterday

and a new storm is blowing in. This is really late for us up here, too, but not unheard of. That seems really bizarre for Oklahoma, though.

12. Eastern PA here

Today's forecast
Sunny
High 75
Low 48

[fizzgig]

13. we just got 13-14 inches

i'm in northern colorado and mother nature seems too stoned to keep her shit together this spring. 80s over the weekend, rain started around 730 or 8 last night, snow probably started around ten and finally tapered off around 8 tonight. and it's only supposed to be in the upper 50s through the weekend.

we were 20 inches below our seasonal average in early april and now we're two feet above normal after this last storm. that's about six feet in a month, something i've never seen.

great for the snowpack and the reservoirs, but really? i want it to be spring.

old farmer's almanac says this summer will be cooler than average and, after last summer i sure hope to gods that's how it plays out. we had weeks of 95+ june into july last summer and the whole damn state seemed to be on fire. i don't ever remember a summer as terrible as last year and a spring as cold and snowy as this year.

17. We had several spates of 100+ days.

I picture birds exploding in the air.
