samy316 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 No posts about today's perfect weather? It got to 80 degrees in DC, the warmest January temperature in recorded history. It's still 76 degrees as of 5:30PM. What a perfect Friday. Always enjoy getting these early spring weather previews. I despise winter, and I'm already wishing for March weather, when it's in the 60s and 70s here, baseball is back and the Cherry Blossoms are in full bloom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 We've had the snow... now get ready for the blood rain! Saharan dust plume set to spark more chaos as it hits Britain from tomorrow The Met Office has warned that blood rain will shock Brits as a Saharan dust plume hits the UK next week. The dust, known as blood rain due to the red stains it leaves on windows and cars, is set to fall in showers from tomorrow - less than a fortnight after Britain was hit by an Arctic blast followed by severe stormy weather. Last year, a similar phenomenon produced spectacular sunsets but vehicles were left covered in a fine dust that had travelled nearly 3,000 miles from the Sahara Desert.

China Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 An intense atmospheric river moves into California, threatening to flood roads and trigger mudslides An intense, long-lasting atmospheric river is moving into California Sunday, bringing the potential for “life-threatening” flooding, mudslides and widespread power outages as it dumps heavy rain and snow. Follow our live coverage here. This is what’s happening: Rare high risk for flooding: A rare Level 4 of 4 risk of excessive rainfall was expanded Sunday to include Los Angeles, in addition to Santa Barbara and Oxnard in Southern California, with the weather prediction center warning of “life threatening flash and urban flash flooding.” Rainfall rates up to an inch per hour will bring 3 to 6 inches of rain across the area. A more widespread Level 3 risk exists for much of coastal California, including San Francisco. A month’s worth of rain possible in Los Angeles: In Central and Southern California, widespread rainfall totals of 3 to 6 inches are expected – more than a month’s worth of rain for most. There are indications the storm may be as strong as Tropical Storm Hilary from last August, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said during a news conference Friday, and encouraged residents to take “common sense precautions.” Some residents told to evacuate: Mandatory evacuation orders have been issued for communities in Santa Barbara, San José, Los Angeles and Ventura County. Officials warned residents of potential “life-threatening” floods and landslides from the atmospheric event. Several school districts in Santa Barbara County have also canceled classes on Monday due to the severe weather. First ever hurricane force wind warning: The National Weather Service in San Francisco on Sunday issued its first ever hurricane force wind warning since records have been kept. Wind advisories and high wind warnings are also in effect for nearly 30 million people in inland areas across nearly the entire state from Redding to San Diego. “Near impossible” travel in the mountains: The storm is also expected to bring significant snowfall totals in eastern California and along the Nevada border. Heavy wet snow will spread across the Sierra Nevada through Monday with accumulation rates of 2 to 3 inches per hour, according to the weather service. Dangerous wind gusts are expected to produce whiteout conditions making travel above 5000-6000 feet “near impossible,” the weather service said.

The Evil Genius Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 ****load of rain and high winds this past weekend. We lost power about 20 hours ago (California, again lots of rain and high winds). Worst part is it's just our side of the street and our backyard neighbors side of the street. So all in all about 23 houses. PG&E of course sucks donkey balls and will get to it whenever they ****ing feel like it but I am glad we got the Tesla battery with our solar panels after years back. A little sun helped this morning but so far we are at about 60% capacity, so hoping we have power until actual power is restored. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted February 5 Author Share Posted February 5 Possible tornado spotted near Georgia, Florida state line As severe weather continues to move across parts of Georgia and Florida, possible tornadoes have touched down near the state line.

Do you suggest they taken a harder stance on the importance of a school day versus the life of children at bus stops, which are next to slick roads?

Skins24 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Just a head's up the next chance of "Surprise! It's snowing!" is Friday night/Saturday morning. If it does happen, it'll be similar to today. Brief, enough to look good for a while, then out of here pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins24 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 So Friday night/Saturday morning will definitely be more than a quick flash of snow. Widespread 2"-4" for the region. Similar to the events in January. Enjoy. Looks like La Nina may be making a return next year to ruin winter again. https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/07/weather/el-nino-super-winter-climate/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
