Morning Shawn! Chilly here this morning, looking at the 50's later. Calling for 70's this weekend. I'm liking it!

 

We're going in the other direction and the wind is really whipping. Gusts up to 60MPH in the forecast. Makes that -10 feel even colder.

 

Must be windy all along the east coast, everyone is talking about that.

 

Folks to the south of us appear to be taking a tornado hit. Glad we don't see those suckers here.

 

Man, there have been a lot of those this week. Weird that so many have been happening out east.

 

Morning Shawn...big wind here also...watching folks garbage cans blow by all morning. Tornado nearby Saturday night...fortunately only property damage...no injuries. Hold on to your hat!!!

 

Might have to add you guys under the "Tornado Alley" area

 

Last one around here was 6 years ago...some towns still haven't finished rebuilding. I believe 3 people lost their lives in that one. It was a much longer duration storm than the one Saturday.

 

I don't know if you can chalk it up to climate change but the weather seems to be a lot more changeable and violent lately. The trees that came down here early this week have been there for at least 50 years with no issues - then, bam, big winds and down they come. Glas I wasn't driving back north this week in the middle of the tornadoes.

 

Good morning Pat

 

Good morning Shawn. But the continuous theme is - still no snow

 

Does happen, but rare. Around 4 years ago there was one that hit Washington village. Damaged the roof on one building I believe

 

good morning Ken. Good thing you ate those extra donuts to help hold you down.

 

I thought they determined that was a straight line wind shear event. We've had those here and they have close to the force of a tornado but it is straight line wind, not circular. In any event, we do get some hellacious winds down here once in a while.

If the garbage cans had been out this AM they'd be in the neighbor's yard by now.

 

Morning Jim. Donuts as ballasts.......LOL
