I don't think I've ever even been in a hailstorm before. Ever. TOTPD

Okay, you know what the joke is about Canada right? "If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes." I think it's weird pretty much all over Canada. Alberta had a 26ºC (299K - for you science geeks) one day and 5ºC (278 K) the next day type week too. It's, um, sunny/rainy now with slight flurries at night. As long as it does it doesn't go below 0ºC, because then we'll get black ice again, and the roads will be torture. Not to mention Edmonton's public transit system is not up to par. |

This is creepy. About 14 days ago in Wisconsin in April, it had gotten up to 100 degrees one day and had been 80 degrees every day. Now, it's early may and it is under 40 degrees. But like they say, if you don't like the weather in Wisconsin, wait 5 minutes. I think Coach Z is from there.  But since my father is from New Jersey, I don't have a Wisconsin accent, although I am picking up one.

This morning on the way to school, it started to precipitate. Now I could tell whether it was rain, sleet, hail, or snow, It was just....crap. |

For me, it was raining when I came up to the u, but my friend who came up the other way got snow. It's wierd, because out college is on a hill, so the weather is always messed up. |

I got your Freakish Weather right here!! The radar is completely clear, the forcast is partly cloudy, with no chance of rain for until tomorrow afternoon, yet, it's raining. God is using the weather to mess with my head, AGAIN! <edit= Upon checking the actual radar (on the NWS site) I see some precip.I think I have an idea why Weatherbug didn't show it.> |

Upstate weather? Upstate where? Unforcasted precip/storms are quite common in my part of Kentucky, any time you have mountains and moist air, you can get orographic precip. The thing that puzzled me was the fact that it wasn't showing on the WeatherBug radar.. When I looked at the actual radar from the Jackson, KY site, I could see the precip. My guess is, since Jackson was still in "clear air mode" with their radar, Weatherbug probably ignored any data from Jackson. If you just read that and are going "CLEAR AIR MODE?!?!? WHAT!?!?!", thisshould help clear things up. |

Um... nope. I tend to think of my own town at "upstate". And pretty much any other city-related word. |

May 12th. 10cm of snow. Well, you live in Canadesia. What else do you expect? 
Down here it's NIIIIIICE and sunny. Maybe a tad windy, but nothing I can't handle.

I wish I lived in Canadia. Then I'd have a reason to buy this Trogdor hoodie. What kind of sick business puts a sale up for hoodies in MAY?!? ... Oh. That's right. Harmless Junk Incorporated. |

... Oh. That's right. Harmless Junk Incorporated. Well, you usually put things on sale to get rid of them, so you don't have to store them until the next season. That's why I paid $100.00 for a $450.00 leather duster jacket when I bought it last june. |

| Post subject: | So, what? |
So, what do I do? Do I put the hoodie away till the unseasonable weather comes? Do I send it back and tell them to put another sale on later? Do I sit in the refrigerator with it on to enjoy the coolness? Do I just not buy it? Gah! It was hot today. Hot, hot, hat. Er, hot. |

Ohh, poor JumbleCaper. I really don't want you sending this one west... It's just been raining a whole bunch here. And TEF, things always go on sale when you don't need them. Like Christmas decorations after Christmas. If I were you I'd just hang on to it until it's cold enough. |

I recall that snow in April. Peeved me pretty bad. Oh well, that's Michigan. And earlier that week was a record tying(?) high of 84°F. This week we just had a couple 80s then one with a high of a mere 56 yesterday. Argh.....bllblblbllbl |

Well, this isn't so much freakish weather as it was kinda cool weather. Tonight at work, we pretty much stopped everything we were doing and ran for cover. We had some EXTREMELY heavy rain (probably 1-2 inch/hour), very high winds (best guess is sustained around 25-30 knots, gusts were 75 or so knots, swing sets were going across the parking lot), and REALLY bad lightning (almost AAAARRRRRGGGLLLBLBLLBLBL! caliber cus we're on a hill with nothing really tall around us). It was pretty rough, especially when you consider I pretty much spent the entire 30-40 minutes of it in a cargo container. Still, in a demented way, it was kind of fun. |

I hate when it looks like it is gonna rain and doesn't. Like today, The skies got good old fashioned T-storm dark and nothing happens. I want to see a good thunder storm. You those the ones with lightning so bright you need sunglasses and thunder so loud that is makes the house shake. |

Yesterday it rained real hard. A small creek formed in my backyard and the neighbors basketballs floated down it. Then it started hailing. Then the power went off for about an half an hour. There really isn't much to do with no electricity. |

Simple, the weather's broken... You know all those commercials where the TV weather people say "When severe weather breaks, count on us" or other stuff like that? Well, that's what happened. The weather broke. We need some sort of duct tape cannon to fix it. |
