Wow, I am totally failing this whole "post more often" thing, aren't I ( Read more... )

I was going to go visit The Emmies this afternoon, but a rather rotten, sleepless night thanks to horrible allergies and/or asthma (which hasn't acted up in 15 years, dammit!) made me decide I didn't really want to drive an hour and a half, especially with the weather being just primed and ready to spit out severe thunderstorms and tornadoes at a ( Read more... )

It is storming. Kind of a lot. And this storm is making me nervous - it was just upped to a severe thunderstorm, and there is a rather lot of lightning. Haven't dealt with irrational paranoia about a storm in awhile, but I am not so ashamed to admit (okay, maybe a little ashamed*) that I am working the irrational paranoia thing right about now ( Read more... )

In a fit of I Want Greasy Bad For You Food, I called Dana on a whim to see if she and Uriah would be interested in meeting someplace Chinese for dinner. She was game, so I drove all the way to Marshfield for a Chinese buffet. Alas, they did not have any dumplings - which is what I was craving most - but still, good food and good friends makes the ( Read more... )

So I went home and stuff yesterday cause I had to go to Marshfield for some tax-and-insurance-stuff, and after that was taken care of, it was only another 15 minutes to go visit parents. It was also hot and I was super stressed and figured I could really use some parental comfort, so home I went. Got to the house about 2:00 ish, talked to my mom ( Read more... )

Yay, thunderstorm! And likely the first of many if it really does get up around 80 today as predicted.

ETA 7:33
Wow, it is really pouring out there. Yeee, first storm of the season!

ETA 7:39
Now we have hail! Wow, hell of a way to start the season.

Huge massive snow storm only dumped us under about 4-5 inches of snow because it was moving so fast (one of the meteorology blogs I read occasionally said it was "moving at warp speed", which amused me), so that was a lot nicer than the 6-10 they were predicting.

There is a big white, pink and green (with bits of yellow and red) mass coming toward us. Map. The various weather websites and programs I use agree in that the predicted snow fall will range in the 7-10 inches. Also, according to radar, it looks like our area in particular gets an additional treat of freezing rain or a wintry mix before all the ( Read more... )

We got rain, yay! Good sized storm, even, rolled through around 3:30 this morning. Not a lot of lightning, but what was there was pretty loud. Loud enough to wake me up from a nice sound sleep, which kinda sucked cause I wasn't able to get back to sleep around until around 5, and even then it wasn't much more than a doze ( Read more... )
