I started Basic Training in February (the 4th in fact) in South Carolina. I remember VERY well those damp chill mornings standing around in formation at odarkthrity

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...

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

[1]^ Glossary of Meteorology. American Meteorological Society. 2000. ISBN 1878220349. http://amsglossary.allenpress.com/gl...arch?id=virga1.

So there, now we know.

What I tell you three times is true... or, boy, do I type slow.
Thank you dear sirs (all three of you), for these helpful answers

I'm sure I would have been even more confused if she had said. "Virga. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday."

Now they're calling the impending Snowpocalypse: Midwest Revenge "life threatening". Betty, do you think I can get out before it hits and stay with you til it's over? (kidding!!)

Cold rain beats heck out of snow.

And the rain here isn't even that cold! Come on down!

I was laughing this morning because we've got 3 or 4 family members coming in from southern California this weekend for the birthday party, and now the forecast is calling for possible snow Friday night. Of COURSE it couldn't be beautiful and sunny like this past weekend!

well, I'm not Betty, obviously, but when snowstorms were coming my way....with the name 'Midwest Revenge' .....I would pack up and run, run.
Take care; have you all things secured, enough blankets, food, wine and ebooks, batteries, shovels?

Oh,. the name is mine, LOL. But they forecasters are seriously calling it "life threatening". Yes, I have everything we should need, although if the power goes out we're going to be very cold. Gas furnace...but electric fan!
