Zlinedavid Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 If it's raining and blowing like hell, you're still OK. It's when it suddenly goes calm that the real danger can start.... Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drroogh Posted February 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Warning is over and not a single drop of rain. Thanks for thinking of us! And yes Richo I would love to go ice fishing with you! Just texted my daughter in CA who posted a picture of five snowflakes that people here in Georgia think I'm crazy when I say I miss snow!

Pretty weird weather week for sure. I'm a weather buff so it always fascinates me. Snow in Vegas and LA this week. Indy is doing it's normal thing this weekend. 60 on Saturday with 50 mph winds Saturday night followed by drop to 18 degrees for a low on Sunday. Glad you made it out dry!

Cant remember the year 95 maybe I have pics of us playing hoops outside at Hoosier courts shirts vs skins . The neighbors would not do skins just sports bra they were volleyball players. This was on Feb 22 , on Mar 1 sectional championships were played on a Monday because we had 6 inches of snow. Man I love me some college!!

Drroogh Posted March 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 So, I'm starting to think I need to move! Sunday, once again I'm watching all sorts of tornado warnings and such and have to say as the last wave went thru it got me out of my chair to see what was going on and get ready to dive for cover if I heard the TRAIN coming again like 8 years ago! Turned out other than some small dead stuff coming down all was good again. Unfortunately, just twenty miles to the south in Talbotton, GA there was some pretty severe damage! And FAR worse just sixty miles west 23 people lost their lives. I think, some snow and cold would do me just fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least in the Colorado mountains, which have gotten over 300 inches, so far this winter.

jefftheref Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 I was driving from Knoxville to Savannah Sunday and drove in that storm the whole way. Between Atlanta and Savannah i almost got blown off the road. I finally had to pull off the road until it calmed down a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denver, and my house are currently in the face a major blizzard. 60mph winds, and snow coming down so hard, I can barely see the houses across the street. We knew it was coming. First time I have ever seen every Denver metro school district announce they would be closed an entire day before the storm hit. Normally, school closings are announced the morning of. As far as the avalanches. Those were in the mountains. And as of today nearly 400 avalanches have been reported since March 3.

We had a nice little Indiana spring surprise today. 71 and Sunny in Indy around 3pm. Warm enough to get our doors on the Monon in the first time in weeks.

We had a nice little Indiana spring surprise today. 71 and Sunny in Indy around 3pm. Warm enough to get our doors on the Monon in the first time in weeks. Thanks. Power is still on. Over 180,000 poor souls lost power today. We actually did as you suggested. Charged the phones. Though we still have a land line. Plus we put fresh batteries in all of our portable lights. Thanks to Roku, I am able to watch tv news all over the country. Amazed by the high temps in Indiana today.... as we are getting hit with this blizzard. Our Governor just declared a state of emergency for the greater Denver Metro area. Calling out the National Guard to rescue stranded motorists. A pregnant lady walked into a volunteer fire department this afternoon, in Kiowa, Colorado. They had no time to ask her how she got there. Before they delivered the baby, right then and there. Because, they could not get their trucks out of the fire house. _____________________________ This snow is a blessing in disguise. Lowering wild fires on the front range that normally start to crop up at this time of the year. Farmers calling it white gold, as they prepare to plant. Also lowering the chance of wild fires in the mountains. And the likelihood of ski areas staying open longer than normal closing days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Had a tornado warning at work today. Pretty close to being the real deal. At one point it hailed marble size hail so thick you couldn't see 20 yards. When the hail started to rotating decided no longer fun to watch anymore and got cover.

RAW: Videos show blizzard, hurricane-force winds slamming Colorado Colorado Blizzard Brings Insane Wind Gusts On Eastern Plains There were quite a few sightings throughout the ohio valley in indiana and on the Kentucky side with several tornadoes. This is a short video of the cell they were following. I'm guessing this is what passed over my location. Looks like a developing wall cloud. https://mobile.twitter.com/ISPVersailles/status/1106256323602235392 I will say I would rather have a couple hours of this and a warm sunny aftermath than what so many people are dealing with your way.
