Moderators Travis In Austin Posted December 16, 2007 Moderators Share Posted December 16, 2007 Great photo Amy. No snow in Austin, none expected for another 5 or 6 years at least. It "snowed" (y'all are laughing I know) last year for the first time in about 10 years and Malcom got to play in it. He loved the snow.

Frzninvt Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Got plenty here in chilly Brrrrmont. My little girl has a hill big enough to sled down in the driveway now, the river behind me has a sheet of ice across it. It's not winter yet though, more to come. Thank goodness for Hakkapelita's and 4-wheel drive. I need a snowmobile! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 No kidding about Brrrrmont. I'm measuring about 18" in the Williston-Bolton snow corridor this morning; fallen since Friday. Supposed to drop to -10°F tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

germerikan Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Here in Germany we have about + 30 - 50 F. A little "pizzel" rain as we call it and not one flake of snow. We have not had a good snow storm here in Hannover (Northern Mid-Germany, Lowersaxony) in about the last 10 years or so. Actually I miss it. Well sometimes.

flannj Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 No we don't..... Storms continued to pummel the nation's midsection as darkness fell on a day when record temperatures were reported across much of the country. Tornadoes were also reported in Arkansas and Oklahoma and along the Illinois-Wisconsin border. About six homes were destroyed in the small town of Poplar Grove, Ill., where authorities rescued motorists trapped by downed, live electrical lines and crews searched damaged structures to make sure no one was trapped. Three people suffered minor injuries, Boone County Sheriff's Lt. Perry Gay said. About 15 miles away in Harvard, Ill., another reported tornado knocked six rail cars off their tracks. A tank car containing shock fluid was leaking, and another derailed car contained ethylene oxide, a flammable material widely used to sterilize medical supplies, but was not leaking, Union Pacific spokesman Mark Davis said. Authorities ordered the evacuation of about 500 residents in the nearby unincorporated town of Lawrence because of the potential for a hazardous materials situation, said Capt. David Shepherd with the McHenry County Sheriff's Office. No injuries were reported, he said. To the northeast, a tornado ripped through Wisconsin's Kenosha County. Eleven houses in Wheatland were destroyed, five others had heavy damage and four had moderate damage, said Matthew Gronke, fire chief for the town of Randall. About 13 people were injured, none seriously, authorities said. Deputies responding to a rollover accident saw a house collapse as the storm blew through, Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth said. "It got flattened as they were there," he said, and windblown debris ripped the emergency light bar off their squad car. The deputies completed their rescue of the motorist pinned beneath the car and then ran to the house. "They pulled the wreckage from the basement door and got some people out," he said. The tornado warning disrupted legal proceedings in Walworth County, as at least 300 people were moved to a courthouse basement as a precaution. Kenosha County Circuit Judge Bruce E. Schroeder, who was presiding over opening testimony in a high-profile murder trial that was moved in Walworth County, said he couldn't believe it when the deputy said the courtroom had to be evacuated because of a tornado warning. "It's a first," he said while waiting in the basement. "I've actually had ... warnings occur during jury trials before and frankly I just ignored them. But not in January." Three juries were kept away from the rest of the courthouse employees, deputies, reporters and others in the basement during the hour-long evacuation. Meteorologists said the unusual weather was the result of warm, moist air moving from the South that had temperatures hovering near 70 degrees on Sunday and Monday. "It's very unseasonable for this time of year," said meteorologist Benjamin Sipprell of the National Weather Service's St. Louis office. "The atmosphere is just right."

oscarsear Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 We're having one of the snowiest winters in decades around here. Actually we get a bunch of snow then rain for one of nature slushy's. Then it freezes and snows some more. Last night we got 8" and the front yard is starting to look glacial. It's about 31/2 feet deep out there now since we snow plow everything onto it. It all started 12/1 and it is supposed to snow again tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
