How's The Weather

This week has been typical Kansas weather. First starting last thursday it started raining measurable amounts. The first since Dec., this continued all weekend. Then the begining of the week the snow came.(my personal favorite) Some parts of the state received 12-14 inches, but no one is complaining about the wet or the cold. Hopefully it is enough to save the wheat crops some but don't if it is enough to pull us out of our drought. Anyway at least it is finally cold and muddy.

Baby Sis

Rained here today, not heaps but just enough to cool it down.

Hello All
Finally saw some warm sunshine today. Senta how is the weather in Russia?

It seems like all we are getting here is rain and temps in the low 60's... I like the temps and enjoy rain... but we have had enough rain already. Ground is saturated and the creeks are starting to reach the tops of their banks... and the forecast is calling for more rain, looks like I may be doing some sandbaging by the end of the day if it doesn't ease up a bit.

I sure wish you could send that rain here to south texas. I finally broke down and bought another waterhose to reach outside the immediate area where I live. I'm able to keep the vegitation well taken care of but, I had noticed that the area surrounding mine is NOT well kempt. A few days ago I started watering those areas as well--the grass was brown and dead and the only green there were the weeds. I planted some carpet grass there after de-weeding and I already see that the grass will do nicely there. Also in my area, we have Burmuda grass everywhere--but that is better than weeds.

Anyway, to get back on subject, it is hot and VERY humid here today with light winds out of the south. Summer has already placed its tight grip on south Texas.

Well I lived in Houston for four years when I was growing up, did basic training in San Antonio and worked in Austin for a year a few years back, so I understand what your talking about. So I will see what I can do about sending some rain your way... maybe I can put some in a bottle... lol

You got that right, Carl.

Well it has not stopped raining here yet, but it did let up enough that the water level of creek next to my house dropped over night. So it looks like there will be no sandbags for Eric today...

We can definately use it my friend. Also, glad that your situation is getting better--and no sandbags for many months or years to come. ;-))

Ukk--basic training in Texas must have been misery for you Gents. I take it that you were in the USAF? My father did his basic training in San Antonio as well during WWII.

Jay, I hope you there don't get too many Tornado's, I have a feeling that Corpus Christi is on the "chopping block" this year with the Hurricanes. I mean, we here are already chewing our fingernails and Hurricane Season is not supposed to start till I think June? Hurricane Celia Was the last "bad" one we got though Hurricane Allen did do alot of damage in CC and in Kingsville (where we lived at the time) I definately aint looking forward to this summer.

Another thing that makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck is, that during our so-called "winter" that the water temperature in the Gulf of Mexico, never really had time to get colder and only dropped about 15-20 degrees. Boy is it ever so warm --and again ever so early. I think this is going to not be a very good summer this year. I am not the panicking type but, I admit that I am a bit nervous about this Hurricane Season. Last year was bad enough.

Carl - This summer is looking to be another scary one for hurricanes, I agree. I know Corpus is way overdue for a big blow. I hope it doesn't happen, but the probability is getting more and more in favor of one of those monsters coming ashore in your area.
I, for one, will be keeping high thoughts in your direction that it doesn't occur.
Cheers - Jay

Thank you my friend. Yep--on yesterdays evening news, they were saying that we are up from last year to a 50-50 chance of being hit hard--up from about 30% For several years now, I have looked at each season as "the one that we will get hit in" and thankfully; we avoided that bullet each time.

Over the Easter weekend, we've had near-record high temperatures in the 90s and cloudless afternoons and are supposed to have a couple more before a weak front drops temperatures about 10 degrees. We've had very little winter while spring just up and dropped out of the equation. We may be in for a very hot summer
Cheers - Jay <_<

Yesterday, we got up to 94 steamy degrees. Today is supposed to be even (ssssss) HOTTER.

Well it looks like the rain is finaly going to end, no chance of rain until this weekend, and we are now up to a toasty 61 deg.

Rain? :o whats rain?

funny thats how people react when they are driving out here and it's every stinkin time...

"Dude, whats that stuff hitting my windshild?"

82 degrees and sunny. But I am not home. I am in Atlanta for work again.

A steamy 91F and record high today.

We have had less than a foot of rain since September 2005. The last few months are suppose to be the wettest months of the year, and we didn't get it.

Hey Chester, send us some of your rain.

Cheers B)
