Becoming a weather geek!
« on: December 27, 2008, 03:00:51 PM »
I just watched a cold front blow in  @O@, both out the window and on radar. Amazing stuff.

The cold front itself was not (yet) spectacular. Only about ten degrees difference. It got dark, tho, and the street lights came on.

The weather geeks were predicting this cold front four days ago, before it was even on the charts.
Among the amazing things science has given us - weather forecasts.  :)

Join the club, I even have the weather channel on my cell phone, which I just upgraded to The Voyager so I have a bigger screen and a mini TV so I can watch it wherever I am.
I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO into the weather, no one can compete with the forces of mother nature: earth, wind, water, fire....  @O@

I wish the weather geeks would predict our weather right . Last week they said it was going to rain but we got ice
and a lot of bad accident's . I'm very glad I don't have to drive to work .....just walk or in last week's case ..slip & slide....and fall every so often...  :(

We used to listen to the Weather Channel 24/7.  :D Yes, we are weather geeks too. The fog today was surreal- driving through pockets of it felt like some kind of movie. This is after negative temps and a huge amount of snow. The foot of snow seemed to melt overnight and we have flash flood and fog warnings today. Gotta love nature.

DH and I have been weather "geeks" for a loooong time:  I guess that's what happens when your livelihood depends on it.  When you farm, you are constantly checking weather for rain, or lack of it; hail, wind, cold, heat.  I don't know how to live any other way!  ::)  8)
