Knuckles 904 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 We've had quite the break from hot weather here...while hitting the 90's (32°C) is rare out where I live (gotta love the ocean breeze ), but just 30 miles away they usually have about 15-20 90°F+ days during the summer. So far this year we have had only 1 Of course I just probably jinxed myself now Link to comment
chattius 2,526 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 34C and rain approaching from southwest... What I fear most currently are Fallböen. When rain hits the hot flank of a mountain resulting into a very sudden cooling which sucks in more rain for more cooling and out of nowhere there are very fast local storm winds which are channeled through the valley. While a tornado is rotating a Fallböe is directed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downburst While my ancestors were smart enough 3 centuries ago to build the house away from them the road to house and even more the trees along the road are in the probably way of the storm.

gogoblender 3,070 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Well...hottest day in the year yesterday...and this morning waking up to the pittter then heavy drumming of rain. Have to run to work ... umbrella on! gogo Link to comment
chattius 2,526 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Spend most of the night to pump water out of cellars at surrounding villages... 7 Persons were idiotic enough to park their cars on a parking lane direct at a small river which was totally flooded ignoring the weather condition red warnings we had the whole day. Cars are totally destroyed now because houses had priority. Link to comment
chattius 2,526 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Just read the data from my automated weather station: first 20 minutes of rain were 48 litres per square metre. in 2 hours it were 103 litres (about 4 inches height). Add hilly terrain where all water coillects in the valleys. Link to comment
Knuckles 904 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Well....one of the coolest summers I can ever remember having.....only 4 90°F days for the whole summer...and not even one heat wave at all (3days of 90°+ in a row). I have even put on a sweatshirt a few times in the morning (had sever days of low temps in the 50's) Watch....we'll get hammered the winter to make up for it Link to comment

Shame it's almost over now. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Knuckles, Max, my heart breaks over this... what an awful summer this was... and I kept hoping for a "break" to happen for our little corner of the world to be lifted out of these grey doldrums and shine in some light for at least a series of a few weeks... alas, grey grey grey... Thank goodness for Poutine! gogo Link to comment
Popular Post Knuckles 904 Posted September 5, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2014 Actually I was very very happy about the weather....I work outside a lot and really hate sweating. In the winter you can always put on another layer if you're too cold, but in the summer, there is only so much you can take off to stay cool before someone calls the police. Perfect working weather for me would be about 55°F. partly cloudy and 10mph breeze 2 Link to comment
Delta! 987 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Past few days we had warm, windy and overcast days, with the evenings bein cool, yet pleasant. I think our approaching summer is going to be a nightmare of very hot days and sweating a few littres everyday! I have always said the same thig as Knuckles, when it is cold, you can put on more clothes until you are warm, but you can only take so much off... Delta! 1 Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Been rained in for two days here now, and I was so sick on Friday, had to call in sick o_o ...feeling a bit better today, maybe a pack of spicey rman noodles to wake me up? Bring on the Sri Racha Bartender! gogo p.s. Theuns, we can ALWAYS take more off Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 We just broke into rain, thankffully... there was some creepy weather out and about before... hot, kinda, soggy,kinda and above all strange... though the rain's come through, making for a greeeeeeeeey daaaaaaaaaaay gogo Link to comment
Knuckles 904 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 This week coming up is going to suck for me....got a Nor'easter aiming right for New England and expected to stall right over us...so I got rain, heavy rain, heavy windy rain looking right at me for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and maybe Friday.. The worst part is its going to create high sea levels for 4 days and I live right on the coast....basement is going to flood....I really gotta move inland. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 how do you prepare for flooding basement do you have lots of stuff down there that you have to move somewhere in dry in preparation gogo Link to comment
Knuckles 904 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 The only stuff I have in the basement is stuff I don't care if it gets wet, like outdoor furniture...several years ago I moved my electric panel and furnace upstairs after particularly bad flood. Lost power and whole basement flooded at least 5-6 feet deep...Have two sump pumps but with no power they didn't do much good. If we get another hurricane, I am in a mandatory evacuation zone. While technically I don't have to leave, if I become trapped or am in need of rescue they will not come get me...I'm on my own. 1 Link to comment
chattius 2,526 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Sunny, chains of cranes and snow geese in the sky, so yes... Weather forecast says heavy storm with tons of rain will come. But nature beat science everytime at a weatherforecast it seems. The beats know well in advance it seems. 1 Link to comment
Knuckles 904 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Growing up in New England I always heard the following..."If you don't like the weather, wait an hour". Though I think most places have a similar saying...just proves how unpredictable/strange weather can be. Saturday we got a small snow storm (about 4 inches) and high temp around 20°F (-7°C). Sunday we had a high temp of 60°F (15°C) and heavy rain. Monday is supposed to be even warmer. And how do we go from 65°F (18°C) to a low of -10°F (-23°C) on Thursday with wind chills around -40°F (huh it -40°C too)? High temp that day will be around freezing. Now I don't mind cold weather, or working in it, but I do hate huge temperature swings. It's like a system shock to your body. I like temperature swings to be gradual. All I can think of is when I was in the Navy. I was leaving the Arctic and heading to Cuba. So within 2 days I went from -40°F with wind chills around -80°F (-62°C) to a sunny 90°F (32°C) and 90% humidity. It was such a shock to my body..I sweat non-stop for about 2 weeks and was sick the whole time 1 Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Holee MOlee we were hit big this weekend. Lots of snow, more snow, then lots of hail, ice then rain, then more snow. All on a weekend where my nephew came to visit. He's 4 years old, but tackled this storm well, and made it out to the ice rink with us in -20 degree celsius! And after they left, on the corner near where I live this: Ayuh, slippy outside! gogo Link to comment
CapnTucker 29 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I wouldn't mind seeing some snow. It hasn't snowed here (southeast GA) since Christmas Day of 1989. All we ever get when it snows elsewhere is cold rain. It gets cold enough to snow (was 22F last night), but it never does.. 1 Link to comment
Knuckles 904 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Well it was -5°F with a wind chill in the -20's this morning around 4am...how do I know this? Because I had to go into work early...and............the truck wouldn't start...lucky me huh...I got a lot of luck, just most of it is bad Took me a bit to find my battery charger in the shed as I got lazy this fall and just threw all the summer stuff in without organizing....so I got stuck out in the cold for about an hour trying to find the charger and then charge my battery. My luck, it was on one of the coldest mornings in the last 10 years....though one good bit of news...I bought my truck 10 years ago...and it still had the original battery in it.....it definitely didn't owe me anything 1 Link to comment

We were 2 degrees with wind chills in the -10's. Of course by the time I left the house, it was a balmy 7 degrees. 1 Link to comment
