I know there was a weather report thread here on WP sometime in the past, but it must have gotten buried. Basically, this thread is to post any interesting weather reports, including any potential curveballs that Mother Nature may be throwing at your town.

I've only lived here since May of this year. I lived in the South before that. WTF is this??? 10 to 25 inches of snow? That's enough to bury my bike in!

Well, at least if I die my body will be preserved in its ruggedly handsome state thanks to the ice...

I moved up near Syracuse, NY a few years ago and we get a ton of lake effect snow here. I'm still adjusting. We measure it by feet, not inches. My first winter here was so surreal. We often have to search for our mailbox before we can even dig it out. I do get a kick out of the southern states when they shut down entirely for 2 inches. I know they don't have the resources and preparedness that we do, but it's still cute.

No curveballs recently. Just relating to a long and hard winter.

I know, right? Back in Memphis schools would shutdown at the very mention of winter weather. Here you see kids trekking to the elementary school in knee-deep snow. I'm probably going to have to break out the snowshoes this Wendesday.

Blame it on Global Warming. Blame it on our Sinful Nature (Pat Robinson would agree).

Since May? That is how they trick people, come October you are trapped till the next April.

Here on the Gulf Coast we have had wet, followed by the worst of cold winter storms covering the whole state, and moving from south to north. Wind, flood, cold, deaths, and today it looked like snow weather. Last year it snowed, a once a decade thing here, but it also came from the south. Our normal winter weather is clear skis from the north, and a rare front that brings cold.

This Global Warming is rough!

It passed over Sodom and Gamorra on the Mississippi, my home, and it's wrath fell on the Bible Belt, the Saved of North Louisiana. God is punishing their failure to elect a Conservative Republican to continue His rule on Earth.

We have been running ten degrees cooler than normal. Nights have run even lower. We should be at 80 day 70 night, we are at 70 day and 53 night.

Cold and wet in the Tropics.
