They have never experienced what it is like to be caught outside by some kind of problem unprepared. They don't understand layers or wearing gloves. It has to be a generational thing but ,growing up on a farm, it drives me crazy. My teens don’t wear coats. Hats. Gloves. It’s beyond annoying. But. In their defense, since Covid, they have stopped using school lockers. Now they have to carry everything. Rather inconvenient imo. So I don’t blame them entirely for not wanting to haul around winter coats and accessories all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their backpacks (daughter still in HS) are heavy as hell. My son has never worn jeans in his life. 5 degrees outside? Shorts. He will layer shirts, including ones with hoodies to help with the cold. He has a pair of khakis for appropriate occasions. And, if he's going to be outside in the super cold for an extended time, he'll wear sweatpants. But no jeans since he was about 10.

TheWatShot Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 Getting an early start on drought season this year. No rain or snow in over 2 weeks and rain chances over the next 10 days are minimal. A lot of yellow lawns out there right now. I usually don't mind having a few days of unseasonably warm weather in February, but this mild spell lasting over a week is messing with my internal clock and making me think it's already spring. Kind of wish we'd get some snow just to sort of normalize things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWatShot Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 There were counties in southwest Michigan that were under a tornado warning just 4 hours before a winter weather advisory went into effect. As usual, nothing in my neck of the woods. We don't really get weather anymore; it's just hot or cold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWatShot Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Quite a day yesterday. Hadn't heard thunder since September, and my area was in a severe thunderstorm watch, a tornado watch, two severe thunderstorm warnings and two tornado warnings over the course of the day. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maedhros Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 I was tracking the warnings from NWS Indy, and think I saw just about every size descriptor for hail. I counted tennis ball sized, baseball sized, golf ball sized, ping pong ball size, nickel sized, quarter sized, half dollar sized, and here at the house we had pea sized. Apparently these are standard comparisons, it's just rare that I ever see so many used in the same night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like East of Muncie got the worst of things and I believe Southern Indiana had a few breakouts as well. Time of the year I guess.

I would have heard it too, as there's one immediately in our backyard! After that first line passed through, we were just south of the next group of cells that popped up, and north of the group that passed over Indy and parts south. I used to love storms, but that was before I had to worry about things like property damage. After we had the siding blow off, that was enough for me. My car is parked outside at the moment, so I wanted no part of baseball sized hail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was wild down here in the Evansville/Southwest Indiana area earlier this morning. Storm sirens started going off at around 5:30 a.m. Counties to the west of the city, Posey county, got hit. Semis and a box truck blown over on I-69, trees down. The most amazing one was in western Kentucky where a moblie home was blown over and a family of 5 was trapped and had 2 of 3 children were pinned. Fortunately they were all recovered without any injuries. A wind clocked at 100 mph was headed towards Santa Clause where I have a niece that lives there. We are still under a severe weather threat until 7:00 a.m. Wednesday morning as we could be in for round 2 sometime this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parakeet Jones Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 We had a tornado touch down a mile from our home this evening. Thankfully we have no damage. I was one of those idiots who stands out in the driveway trying to see it. The most dangerous storm I faced though as Mrs. Keet yelling at me over the phone from the basement to get inside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlinedavid Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 Well, from the corner of SE Indiana/Northern KY/SW Ohio….that was a big nothingburger. Maybe a 15 minute normal thunderstorm and that’s about it. Hope everyone else was just as lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
