I was convinced that someone in this MR thread had somehow managed to CALL me about the weather in their area instead of just posting it here...

bwahahahaha! let's do the time warp again!

I did too!

(and I just edited my post about what kind of a breeze that would be -- it wasn't ladylike!)

Starting tomorrow evening we're going to get hit with 15cm overnight and another 10-15cm Wednesday. I hope they don't close the schools on Wednesday, I already took tomorrow off for court (gotta fight for my child support or I'll never get it

).

Oh no, that is so cold.

Warm woolen underwear for all! Glühwein!. Hang on.

And I thought we were cold...-4C, and I went cycling along the canal for one hour and now I have one very cold toe, brrrr

Pookeysgirl · 01-31-2011, 11:14 AM

Oh it's freezing. My sliding door wouldn't open on my van this morning, the kids had to go through the front seat

Desertblues: Thermal socks! I wear my husbands all the time

Florence: I'm so going to have a steaming hot bath tonight

Betty: Do you have caller ID? I'd call her back and ask her about tomorrows weather so you're on top of things

poohbear_nc · 01-31-2011, 11:17 AM

Cold (40's F) and rainy! One of those damp cold winds that chill the bones!
(Did someone mention Gluhwein?) (No more for Betty - until she stops thinking that we're calling her!)

GeoffC · 01-31-2011, 11:44 AM

same as it was this morning, cloudy, cold - but the virga has now reached the ground copiously ....

FlorenceArt · 01-31-2011, 11:51 AM

Rain that doesn't reach the ground Flo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virga

It's just nasty here, coating of ice on most everything, snow is falling now, streets are slick - black ice -- and getting colder by the minute. Has dropped to 9F...

D**n I hate having to look up words; the meanings should be intuitively obvious, like Mac icons

In meteorology, virga is an observable streak or shaft of precipitation that falls from a cloud but evaporates before reaching the ground.[1]

So there, now we know.

What I tell you three times is true... or, boy, do I type slow.

GeoffC · 01-31-2011, 12:00 PM

It's getting as bad as the civil service in here - everything in triplicate ....

kennyc · 01-31-2011, 12:01 PM

You know it's getting like government in here. Three answers saying the same thing ...

GeoffC · 01-31-2011, 12:02 PM
