I'm sure the Westboro Baptists would have an explanation for that weather.

Meanwhile, your safety is in my thoughts, JustinO, and that of your family and friends.

The rains up in the NE of this big country have finally reached us down here on the central southern coast.
It is unusual for the warm humid air from the NE tropics to reach us down south, there the next stop is Antarctica.
Fortunately the long journey has taken the sting and the intensity out of the downpours to where we are just getting a gentle quiet and warm rain. Not a breath of wind, very pleasant indeed.

But I believe there will be heavier falls in the northern and desert regions of this state of ours. Fortunately the populations in those areas are small and well used to sudden and unpredictable flooding downpours, however infrequent they are, for that country is very flat and drainage is minimal and slow.

So, weather is much on the agenda for all of us this week, eh.

Thanks Justin for sending this storm up to us! lol
It hit here around noon and blew like the blazes!
So much for Canada sending all the BAD weather south.
Lots of snow but hey, it's winter!

jimm said...

We got hammered, too. And the back-swing of the storm will blow in more snow off Lake Ontario.

Bad day. Furnace brokedown this a.m.
