2 to 3 inches of snow in the Atlanta metro area and the whole damn area comes to a screeching halt. What a joke! People already think the South is backwards. This debacle isn't likely to change their minds. Hey, and what the hell is with us 'mericans that we are now naming every single little snow "event" or rainstorm with a name? Yes, folks, continue to marvel at the ridiculous coverage of Snowstorm Leon!
Leon? This is so stupid and tiring... Jesus wept.

panic is good for business! Terrified people are easy to control! if we give every storm a name, people will think it's going to kill them, and they'll panic, and do what we tell them, and buy useless shit! We'll name the storms, and we'll have special coverage, and we'll tell them over and over about how cold and snow can kill them!
and we'll laugh all the way to the fucking bank.

Exactly the opposite of the weather today in South Wales. Rain to the bus stop, rain at the bus stop, rain from the bus stop to the office, rain from the office to the appointed place for Mrs Sioni to pick me up and take us to the Cardiff Park and Ride* where it was raining. Rained all day all round Cardiff.
*We think a "Park and Sail" might be in order.

We should do that with rain in Britain for rainstorms. Have we got to Z yet? (Except in Sioni land where they are still on A. It has to stop raining before you can move on to the next letter for the next storm.)

Been looking at floods today - our little local river is spilling out of its bounds into the old water meadows, and covering the road on the approach to the bridge by the ford. And the approaches to nice new houses in "The Meadow". The water is rushing downstream towards the town which was last flooded in the late 60s, down the bed which was so dry a few years ago that the water company had to plumb in a new supply from a perched aquifer a few miles away, in the process nearly wiping out a colony of glow-worms.
On one lane, a van had tried to get through what he must have thought to be a large puddle, apparently thigh deep, and the driver had to abandon it.

We (San Francisco area) could do with winter showing up in the first place (or at least the rain, we did get some cold earlier this season). It has been drizzling on and off all day and my nearest weather station has recorded 2/10 inch which is no where near enough.

The problem with celestial machinations is that there are too many chiefs and not enough braves. We got Jesus and Mohammed and Krishna and who-all beating their chests and demanding "WORSHIP Me!" when what we really need is a bunch of middle management drones to roll up their sleeves and freaking re-route the infrastructure.
To whom it may concern: send us Penny's flood!

Well we could try week by week a different deity.
Demeter seems good for a first try; unfortunately the details of the mysteries have been lost.
The beginning of a Homeric hymn to Demeter (495 lines in all):
I begin to sing of Demeter, the holy goddess with the beautiful hair. And her daughter [Persephone] too. The one with the delicate ankles, whom Hadês seized. She was given away by Zeus, the loud-thunderer, the one who sees far and wide. Demeter did not take part in this, she of the golden double-axe, she who glories in the harvest.
http://www.uh.edu/~cldue/texts/demeter.html
Given the last line, Kelly should play Demeter herself, axe in hand, looking for her lost daughter. Not sure who would play the other parts. However, this is probably more heavenly than is allowed on this board.
BTW the rain has now stopped and none predicted for several more days.

Saw an interesting article in the paper the other day plotting the average rainfall in California back 2000 years based on tree rings and sediment deposits. It looks like things have been wetter than average in the last 200+ years of record keeping, and back around 800AD there were droughts similar to this one that lasted for 150+ years. So even with this drought being the worst in recordedhistory, it is still pretty mild by comparison.
Can't find the article online, but will keep looking.

There was a farmer on TV saying that his farm is 95% under water now - in Somerset. He also made the point that his septic tank is flooded, and this worries me, as the water table must be at record levels now. For those who don't know, septic tanks exist in rural areas to collect pee and shit, so if it floods, it ain't pretty. Normally it drains away into surrounding land, but a very high water table prevents this. Oh mighty Cthulhu, come to our aid, and send the pee and shit to central government.

Try singing "Our God rains" over and over.
Today, being my birthday, and the sum of the numbers, repeated until one digit remains, having risen to 5, I put on my wellies and splashed around on a sports field into which had spilled water from the river above the weir as it made its very long way round back. I was clean water, as a child imagines floods. There was a two year old being walked through by its Dad. Fun floods, not the desolating Somerset sort. They were talking cess pits in Somerset, as well as septic tanks. Worse, I would think.
Nobody's mentioned how they are getting the cows milked down there.

We've been having fun with freezing rain here. Yesterday, the roads were slicker than owl shit, although the trees all looked rather pretty. It's been raining here all day, with temps hovering right around freezing, so that every now and then there's a tremendous crash as yet another chunk of ice falls off the roof, or another limb breaks off the trees in the front yard.
Sigh!

If I could, I would. I wasn't in the best of moods on my walk from the hospital to the office this morning anyway, and my brolly dying a spectacular death in the wind and leaving me to get drenched didn't do much to improve it.

I was caught out yesterday in a bloody #$%@#!*&@!! flood in Atlanta. When I left the house at the crack of dawn, the weather was cloudy but "warmish"--50 degrees Fahrenheit. However, as the day progressed, the temperature dropped and dropped and then the heavens opened and the wind blew all the damn rain sideways...into my face and everyone else's... yuck, what a cold, shivering, miserable mess I was in my soaked parka (gotta waterproof this really soon!) with a soaked backpack...ugh.
So, all you drought-stricken folks, I have a present for you. I shall squeeze out all my sodden clothing and backpack and the water accumulated will be enough to save California! Sure, it's dirty water with lots of lint and cat hair but hey, beggars can't be choosers, right? ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)

The maximum temperature on Saturday is set to be 40 degrees C. The minimum on Saturday night is forecast to be 30 degrees C.

Shipmate from Somerset here. It has rained and rained today, with more promised tomorrow, a pause on Friday and then another massive storm promised for Saturday with unsettled weather into next week. The River Tone in Taunton is not far off breaking its banks (although holding so far). Unfortunately all the muddy swollen river water speeding through town is heading straight for the Somerset Levels where the police have evacuated three villages. OK, this situation isn't of tsunami proportions, mostly it is fields and very small settlements rather than towns and cities getting affected, but this has been going on for weeks now. And when villages get evacuated it is getting serious.
Met a person today who had spent 3 hours getting to work (driving from Devon to Taunton, which should take about 40 minutes) because of the number of road closures. The Uriel family won't get flooded (we live far enough away and high enough above the river to be safe), but there is an awful lot of disruption down here.
And any Shipmates living in drought areas, come and get some water from us. You can take it for free, just turn up with a tanker and take as much as you want.

We have enough water in Oxfordshire, thanks.
It's stopped raining for now but I'm getting a bit sick of what used to be fields and are now lakes with ducks sailing on them. I'm just dreading any more - it took me nearly 3 hours to get home tonight because of disruption on the south coast railway lines and I don't want to see any more underwater railway lines.
And the wind is strong enough tonight to snatch the breath from your mouth and the hat from your head, push you off balance on the pavement, shower it with branches, and send some advertising signs flying down the road.

Where I live, the Christmas storms blew a branch down on a car, the owner of which is now claiming money from the responsible neighbourhood society, because the Chair told him we had had it surveyed and it had been assessed as not needing anything done until later in the year - we had arranged for it to be dealt with this week. He thus believes we knew it would be a hazard at Christmas, and the severity of the storms is irrelevant. He parked his car under a tree under those circumstances! (We do have insurance, and should be covered because of said expensive survey, but even so.)

Whereas, in Caledonia Stern and Wild it's just been a bit dreich.
I remember when my FiL visited (very much a southern Englishman, and born before the 1st WW) even in summer, he would point at any cloud bank on the horizon and ask 'Is that snow?'
But I fear Fimbulvetr is upon us and Ragnarok not far off.

Don't worry, it will all freeze solid soon and then you won't be able to walk anywhere except where it was untouched. Ahh, the joys of winter in a place that floats up and down around the freezing point the whole season and turns every kind of weather into a mess.

I would find that physiologically challenging. It would be more "FUCKING ice. Fucking, sort of rubbing, touching ice." But then I'm male...
Anyway. Rain. That's all. I mean, literally. Just rain...

There is not enough "OW!" in the world for that one. And I don't even have one.
What has gotten into you lately?

I cannot expect people to believe “
Jesus loves me, this I know” of they don’t believe “Kelly loves me, this I know.”

One hopes it isn't ice. Because that would probably be even more painful.

Ah,good old climate change.....
Here in Eldoret we've already had heavy rains which are not due for another month. The people are still preparing their fields and planting.This does not bode well for this year's harvest.
This weekend we will go to Turkana where the ***** stupid weather has meant no rain at all and once again they face famine.
I'm fuming with helplessness
