This morning I had an unplanned trip to the chiro (I've been having pain when I turn my head since around Friday night) and looking at my car, that storm the other day really did raise the water levels in our yard to just above the bottom of my car door. o.O ( Read more... )

I posted about this on FB last night (breaking my LJ before FB rule :-p) because it was storming so hard I didn't want to turn on my computer... Last night driving home on the freeway from the PT, it started raining. It's Florida. It does that here. I noticed some really spectacular lightning off in the distance. What I didn't notice, because I was ( Read more... )

It's 60F right now. High of 75F on Saturday and we're going out on the boat, dammit!

I'm tempted to find a campground and spend the weekend. (Yeah, I said that last time it got warm. We REALLY need a tent...)

Tomorrow we're leaving to do a drive through Vermont.

I just found out that yesterday, Killington, Vermont got 14 inches of snow!!!!

We said we weren't leaving Maine until we saw a moose, and first night there, we almost hit one with our truck. Well, we're not leaving Vermont until we see snow!!!

It's actually supposed to be hotter here tomorrow (94F) than in Florida (93F). Although these little reminders of why we left are nice every now and then, I guess.

Our pipes froze ( Read more... )

Low tonight of 17F/-8C, feels like 15F/-9C. Low tomorrow night of 17F/-8C, feels like 12F/-11C.

Let's compare that with Victoria, Canada, where tonight's low is 42F/7C, feels like 35F/8C. Hey, yagowe, can I come and move in with you guys? (Last I checked, my degree qualifies me for Canadian citizenship. Anyone know how badly it would screw up my taxes ( Read more... )

Tomorrow is supposed to have a high of 48F and a low of 19F. ***19F*** In FLORIDA. And we're planning a trip that originally included much out-of-doors. And beaches. Erm... I don't think I own enough clothing to keep me warm in this. (I'd probably be handling this better if I at least had a way to get warm. I have a space heater about two feet away ( Read more... )

Hey, Gustav. Oh, hai, Hanna. Still cleaning up limbs from you, Fay.

Not that either of these new ones really look like a threat to us, but this gets old year after year. (Although GOD I feel sorry for the people of New Orleans. Have I ever mentioned that dreamfreeze and I had planned a vacation in New Orleans that would have put us there the week after ( Read more... )
