Today is Tuesday, March 6. The forecasted high is 60 degrees. That should be warm enough to melt the THREE TO FOUR INCHES of snow that fell overnight Sunday/Monday morning. Almost every school in the area had a snow day Monday. This gave schools an even longer long weekend, as they also dismissed school 2 hours early on Friday, March 2 in anticipation of tornadoes.
The temperature on Friday? 70. How many places not only have enough of a temperature change to go from skirts to snow boots and back within 5 days, but also through in tornadoes, hail, and blizzards within that same time period?
This picture has been floating around on Facebook. Full disclosure: the first picture is not actually from March 2nd's tornado weather. The comments say it's actually Iowa, circa 2008. However, this picture:

was taken about a mile from our house. We were incredibly blessed with the storms. We didn't have so much as one branch out of place. Communities not terribly far away have been wiped off the map. Of course, we are not the only state to be slammed with the tornadoes and I ask your prayers for those in Indiana, Tennessee, and Alabama in particular, as this is the second time in less than a year for many residents to lose everything.
If you don't like the weather in Kentucky, you better go somewhere else 'cause you'll get it all in a week.
Hopefully I'll get a post together about what's been going in the house. Not much, but a mini-project or two. That is, I'll get it together if I'm not in the hospital with pneumonia like the rest of the city!
So true! Kentucky has seemed even more unpredictable in the last few years than in all my childhood. I'm glad you all are safe and will continue to pray for those affected by the storms. Perhaps the next project should be a weathervane? :)
ReplyDeleteFor realz. We had temperature swings in Alabama--shorts one day, coats the next, but not the actual weather mood swings. Maybe Mother Nature is about to get her gift from "Mother Nature" if you catch my drift ;)
