[greenbriar]

[msongs]

1. lows in parts of alaska tonight - Minus 10 to Minus 30. winter is coming nt

[BrklynLiberal]

2. I know it was snowing in Chicago yesterday...

Early Winter...? I am waiting for Indian Summer.

[greenbriar]

3. we are talking loud thunder and lightening and ground cover hail

really weird

[Art_from_Ark]

18. Meteorogically speaking, it's not particularly weird

Cold Canadian air clashing with warm air is bound to result in some storms.

I remember flying into a December storm one year going from Memphis to Arkansas-- 60+ degrees surface temperature on the Memphis side, 20 degrees surface temperature a few miles into the Arkansas side. Heckuva storm-- thunder, lightning, high winds, rain, sleet, hail, snow, you name it, it had just about everything.

4. Is that normal, early, or late?

Don't know much about Kansas weather.

[greenbriar]

5. it is definately not normal

snow would have been more normal

[jobycom]

8. I was just trying to decide whether tonight would be cool enough

to leave my windows open and turn off the AC... It is not one America. :)

Hope you're safe. I read a couple more of your updates, and it sounds nasty.

14. Something similar happened in Nebraska, in January 2008

We were at a hotel, when it rained, hailed, AND snowed...all within a 15-minute timeframe.

Nah, there's no climate change going on! :sarcasm:

[valerief]

6. Poor thing. You're not in Oz anymore. Stay safe. nt

[greenbriar]

7. holy cow...we may lose electricity...lights are flickering

this is really weird

[jobycom]

9. Alright, everybody, greenbriar's gone, now we can talk about the party!

[greenbriar]

10. haha not yet

but if you remember from summer


I HATE storms

[jobycom]

11. I seem to remember you having unpleasant experiences with them.

[greenbriar]

12. I am terrified

of tornados

[jobycom]

15. I can't imagine anyone not being.

I mean, some people may have a greater proximity tolerance than others, but the darned things scare everyone.

Are you in a tornado watch now?

[greenbriar]

17. don't think so

the weather alarm did not go off

[jobycom]

19. They really have weather alarms?

I thought those were just in movies. What is it, like a speaker in the middle of town, or does it broadcast over the radio, or what?

[greenbriar]

20. we have a weather alarm in our home that we bought but the City has siren towers

posted in stragetic locations all over town. when the weather is bad they flip a switch and bingo, teh sirens warn the town

[jobycom]

21. What does the one in your home do?

[orleans]

16. i remember. i am too. (tho it's getting a little better with me)

hope the weather improves quickly--and the lights stay on.

[ben_meyers]

13. No help coming from the west

It's 52 in Phoenix and we had hail in the valley and snow up in the rim country yesterday.

[Bozita]

22. Pat Robertson would say that it's because of God directing his wrath at Kansas ...

... for voting for McCain/Palin.

[Winnipegosis]

23. Come up to Winnipeg

...and you might just slip on a patch of ice if you're not careful.

Damn!
