Jan. 22- Statistically The Coldest Day Of The Year

in the Northern Hemisphere.

I'm in Wisconsin.
We're having a bona fide thunderstorm. With real rain!
NOT snow - aka a thundersnow.

There's grass in my yard.
True, it's not green. But it IS grass. In January!

very happy

is that unusual conversing

Stay safe cheers
And it's not Global Warming.
It's weather...like when we were in a deep freeze a couple weeks ago.
Like the feller sez, 'It's extremes that make an average.'

Frankly, I don't care what it is!
It's January!
We're having a thunderstorm. With real rain!
I see grass in my yard.

Gosh, I'd love to see that thing they call... 'rain' wow
I know, right Molly!!
confused

I was confused when water was, like, falling outta the sky!
roll eyes...hole

I searched it on YouTube typing
It's O.K.!
Just that rain stuff.
Quite common, actually.
Or so it said on YouTube...don't know how far I'd trust it.

Mic, I have heard about it, but I always presumed it was a myth.

I put it into the same category as flying saucers and yeti
Hi Miclee
It is El Niño; or is it la Niña this time.professor
laugh cheers
That's what I used to think too, molly!

Water? Falling Outta The Sky?
SERIOUSLY?!
laugh...rolling on the floor laughing

But I'm a believer now, you betcha!

And if there's really such a thing as...you know...rain...
I'm seriously reconsidering my take on Yetis.

I was always pretty sure 'bout flying saucers though.
Anything that has its own emoticon...transport...evidence like that is quite compelling.
As we all know.
Probably better than YouTube even.

OK Mic
enjoy it so wine
I see they blame El Niño for our drought around CapeTown. laugh

But it is serious. We had water restrictions for the last six months.and use our bath water to flush our toilets and dishwater to water our plants.

It rained this morning (out of season) but it did not even wet the ground before it stopped. Our weatherman predicts 80% chance for rain tomorrow but they did not say how much to expect. I have a 20 liter bucket under the gutter in case it rains enough so I can wash my car.

But this is nothing new. I can remember water restriction since my school days. We just don't have enough water in this country. our dams are empty and the rainy season is still a few months away.

We are still going to kill each other for water.

JAN. 23. - UPDATE...

Temp dropped to -3c
Water that had fallen from the sky (aka 'rain') turned to ice uh oh
Water still falling from the sky turned to freezing rain sad
Then snow cold
Which covered the ice uh oh

Grass is gone sigh

Enjoyed the respite from bleak frozen white hell.
Brief though it was snowed in

Like the feller sez, 'It's the extremes that make an average.'

Mic, you really should move to this beautiful dry,green brown land, where you will never see that dreaded water falling from the sky ever again daydream
Miclee
Years ago there were talks of towing icebergs from the Antarctica but I don't know what they're going to do with it when it gets here. But nothing came of it in any way.

When the rain comes and the dams are full nobody is going to worry until the rain stays away again.doh
cheers
lightbulb cat!

Towing an Antarctic iceberg?!
roll eyes...rolling on the floor laughing

Here's the new plan...

WAIT...playball

Yes. Wait!
EnvironmentAl Gore says it's gonna melt.
Then all you have to do is haul the water to S.A. in tankers.

hmmm

Better yet, use the time while you're waiting constructively.
Build a pipeline to Antarctica & you'll be ready to turn the spigot the very instant EnvironmentAl is proven correct!

The pipeline will have the added advantage of being less easily set ablaze than a ship.

Hello Miclee,wave from western Canada. After an extremely cold Xmas week, we re getting some Mild temperatures. And we re getting occasional spots of rain. Unfortunately its freezing rain,doh Makes it bad for walking and driving,doh Never thought I d say I miss the colder weatherconfused
hug never ever get emotional about weather....especially not good weather. Have tested it. You attracted the ice and snow by getting so excited about the rain. professor I keep on watering the garden when it starts raining and it works....sometimes.laugh
