Well I'm Sorry About The Weather - The Climate, Earth, Space, Storms, Weather Thread

Sazerac?

 

Probably. It's so damned easy and I'm so damned lazy. Also love a La Louisiane. Then again, Burns Night was this week, so maybe a Bobby Burns. I'm always looking for opportunities to rationalize.

 

Blasphemy!!! We'll have none of that in this forum !

HAIL GRIMES!!!

 

To make amends, I hereby commit myself to creating the world's first Hail Grimes! cocktail. Being that Grimes aligned himself more with Mussolini, perhaps I can work this into the recipe:

 

It goes well with Guzzlers Gin...Red Skelton's favorite.

 

Smooooooooottthhhhhhhhhhhhh!

 

Well, this could be interesting ...

 

whoa, time for a Costco run!

 

Did that yesterday.

 

I remember going to LA in the 70’s and how absolutely horrible the smog was. Trump won’t be happy until every major city in the US has the air quality of Beijing.

 

The prayers worked!!!!

Sorry I missed the discussion here! We're currently in Reno, but need to be back in the Bay by Friday, so we're trying to time our trip on the day with the least snow in the forecast. It looks like that's Wednesday, as of now. Friday would probably be better but we have a 10 AM flight out of SFO on Friday.

 

There will almost certainly be a reasonable but not snow-free travel window sometime on Wednesday or Thursday (probably Thursday), but you will need to be flexible. Some models see the snow ending on Wednesday. Some keep it going longer. It's too many days out to know for sure.

 

We often get long, multi-week dry spells in the winter up here. That's not an unusual occurrence. But this dry spell was a little longer than typical. It actually ended last week. We also tend to get our snow (and rain) in a few big, multi-day, multi-feet events. If the storms that are coming really play out the way that some (but not all) models are suggesting, it'll be a memorable series of storms -- though definitely not the biggest individual storm or multi-storm events I've been through. It also helps that we don't have that much snow on the ground. If you get 6 feet on top of 6 feet already on the ground, that's getting difficult. But 6 feet on top of 2 feet isn't as big deal.

 

In my current home, we’ve had snow from at least Xmas to early April except for this year. We had snow cover for probably a week. I only have had 1 chance to take the girls sledding at the nearby park. With it being mid-50s today and probably 60 before the storm approaches Wednesday, the snow might last a week.

Things are looking increasingly grim between the Rockies and Sierra Nevadas below the Sawtooths/Wind River Mtns.

 

I've had up to around 15 feet of snow on the ground at my house.

 

My tomato plants are only 1 1/2' but there's plenty blossoms.

 

Brutal today. 5/8" rain and 15 mph winds!

 

That's a lot of rain for Sandy Eggo! I was in Coronado last week and there was some rain on Tuesday and Wednesday. We couldn't sit outside at Spiro's. My lamb kabob was just not the same without the pigeons begging for pita or fries. But there was nowhere near half an inch of rain while we were down there.

Anyways, up here in Reno today we had a smattering of snow. The deck outside has a bumpy frozen surface which would probably work for curling. We're still supposed to get 6-10 inches of snow overnight and tomorrow. We've pre-salted the driveway in case we need to go somewhere, but tomorrow is probably a good day to stay inside. Wednesday is still forecast to be the least amount of snow at Donner Pass so we will try to make our escape then.

 

I'm optimistic about the weather tomorrow!
