The weather thread

Post yer weather here, if it appears that it will be interesting or severe, or, just different. Or, none of those things. lol.

I'm sick and tired of winter, and it ain't over yet! 2:00 this morning, we switched to daylight savings time, and look what's up and coming:

Tomorrow is forecast to be Much Cooler than today.

Now
Areas of low clouds will persist over over northeast and east central New Mexico this evening...while showers and isolated thunderstorms develop over portions of the south central mountains and southeast plains...and track to the northeast and north. Before 8 PM...showers and possibly a storm or two may pass over or near Roswell...Elkins...mesao...Elida...Portales and Fort Sumner. Wind gusts to around 40 mph...and spotty rainfall amounts of up to one quarter inch are possible with the developing showers this evening. The precipitation is expected to build into Curry and Quay counties by 8 PM.

Tonight
Mostly cloudy. Breezy. Scattered showers and thunderstorms in the evening...then rain likely after midnight. Lows in the mid to upper 30s. East winds 15 to 25 mph.

Monday
Breezy. Rain likely. Highs in the upper 30s to mid 40s. Northeast winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts to around 35 mph.

Monday Night
Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain in the evening...then chance of snow after midnight. Lows in the upper 20s to lower 30s. North winds 10 to 20 mph in the evening.

It's windy as hell right now rolling that cold front in... earlier today I could at least go outside, but I don't dare now.

I just want it to stop! It's time for Spring!

Still windy as all get-out here, and cold. Man, this bites the big one.

Will update more tomorrow.

Vancouver Island is having as good a winter as we could ever hope for. Warm and spring-like. A few days of cool weather or rain then back to mild and sunny.

Welcome to the forum, rtzed! Great to have you here!

Our weather right now is almost like yours, except for the occassional cold front like we have now... this morning, it's raining.

[dedanna1029]

Still raining, chilly, and dreary out.

I want sunshine!

So, for once we had a decent week, and now the weather-maker in the sky wants to kill it.

That weather-maker can bite me. I really don't need yet another fall on the ice this year (have had three so far).

Today:
Gray wet +2 C and snow is melting. Miserable weather.

[dedanna1029]

Sounds like it's bad all over the globe. :\

Well, all I can say now, is this g0d-d@mned house had best cool down in a hurry. It's hot as h#ll in here, and I'm tired - wanna go sleep. Can't with this heat, with no air conditioning.

I HATE THE SOUTH! Only two seasons here... too cold, and too hot!

Rolf, wanna come hook it up for me?
