What.

[tzikeh]

That is all.

ETA: Apparently, no, that is not quite all --

words on the page that map comes from: ICE TORNADO.

Now that's all.

If we have ice tornadoes, does that make thundersnow a given?

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Thundersnow due in Chicago on Wednesday.

[pocketmouse]

Holy thundersnow, Batman.

What will they think of next?

The meteorologistas here at the Lab, at the south end of that path, are all a-flutter. I, personally, am looking forward to a couple of snow days, as long as we keep power.

ICE TORNADO.

*SNORK* Your tax dollars at work, baby. (http://www.weather.gov/) Less... dramatic, shall we say? *g*

And tornadoes aren't phallic at *all*, nope. (https://secure.nssl.noaa.gov/v2gallery/v2-intercepts-a-tornado-6-5-09/P6050028.jpg.php) *g*

Tornados: Father Sky and Mother Earth going at it.

Yeah, they've already notified us that we get a snow day tomorrow, because we're expecting anywhere from 7 to 12 inches, as of last report. I think. Not much compared to places back east, but a lot for us -- with possible blizzard conditions!

I have to stop at the store on the way home to buy cat food so they don't eat me tomorrow.

Hee! elynross's final repose.

[vickita.livejournal.com]

Good luck with the store thing. I went to Walmonster at lunch (what? I wanted some more oranges; I got oranges on Saturday and they were soooooo good, I wanted some more, damn it), and the thing that killed me were the hordes of people scurrying out the doors with bottled water. I mean, I'm sure some of them live out in the rural areas, and if they lose power, they lose their water wells, and will *need* bottled water, but for most of us, really, not so much.

People here at the NWC seem to be proceeding on the assumption that we'll be out for Tuesday *and* Wednesday, which is fine avec moi.

[elynross.livejournal.com]

It was chaos, but strangely okay, given how little I like Walmart at the best of times! *g* There was good people-watching, and I got through it all in around an hour.

re: water, maybe people are thinking of the ice storms of several years ago? We didn't have any trouble, but it seems to me there were a lot of people even in urban areas that were without power or water or what have you for quite a while. I know I had friends in McAlester who went a week or more, which. *twitch* May I never have to! I'm just hoping for two days off work. I mean, if it's coming down hard until Tuesday night, there's no time for melting by Wednesday morning, right? Of course right!

[vickita.livejournal.com]

Of course right! I can tell you that by the time we left yesterday, most of the people at the Weather Center were pretty sure this was going to be a two-day ordeal, although I'm really not so sure. The worst of the precip is over, now it's just wind blowing the snow around and cold-cold-cold. Don't get me wrong; if I have the option of staying home tomorrow, even if it's "working from home," I'll do it, to stay out of the cold. But I suspect that a late start-time would really, truly be sufficient for anyone who lives within ten miles or so of the Lab. I dunno; I seem to be getting hardier in my old age, go figure.

I was without power at my house -- no heat, no lights, no hot water -- for five days in the Dec. 2007 storm, which was right before the solstice, and omg, I had reeeeally lost my sense of humor about it by about the third day. Gah.

[st-crispins.livejournal.com]

Figures. Probably will arrive right in the middle of my commute.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

You guys have been hit a LOT, lately.

[furies.livejournal.com]

this winter has made me happy for the first time in two years that i'm currently in california and not new york.

::shudders::

[misspamela.livejournal.com]

The Weather Channel and their understated take on the whole thing.

We already have two feet on the ground from previous storms and we're looking to get another two feet between tomorrow and Thursday.

Interestingly, Mr. MissP's neck has been killing him for two days and he's been swearing up and down that we are going to get nailed with some kind of ginormous storm.

[bethbethbeth.livejournal.com]

I hear you (she said, crying over her 56" accumulated snowfall).

*scowls at the weather*

[vickita.livejournal.com]

Bless y'all's hearts. You deserve a break. ::pets northerners::

[brewsternorth.livejournal.com]

Ice tornado WHAT. (And I thought "thundersnow" was a bit eep-inducing.)

[luminosity]

Hmph. We're getting the rain and tornadoes. Nothing out of the ordinary. Well, maybe a little colder than usual.

[kadymae.livejournal.com]

ICE TORNADO.

This is like frikkin porn for Meterologists.

[vickita.livejournal.com]

You have no idea. For serious.

[klia.livejournal.com]

I feel for you guys, I really do. I think I may be the only person in my whole family who isn't in its path. And I may actually wish you snow instead of ice, which is usually more destructive. This climate change crap sucks ass.

[shrewreader.livejournal.com]

Ice Tornado.

I believe we may now officially declare our residence on planet SyFy.

[neotoma.livejournal.com]

They're forecasting 'glaze ice' here, around 1/4 inch, along with sleet and freezing rain through Wednesday.

I am seriously considering hibernating for the next two days because of that.

[falzalot.livejournal.com]

Wow. That sure as hell tops this warning we had on New Years'...

[lydiabell.livejournal.com]

...

I can't even ... they have to warn people about light rain?

[cereta.livejournal.com]

Just FYI, this is P's fault. He left town. Crap like this only happens when he is out of town. Trufax.

[rubywisp.livejournal.com]

ice tornado?????? wtf?????

[terrio]

Can't you return this forecast as unsatisfactory and get a new one instead? Where's customer service when you need them, dammit?!

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Man, I'd love to have a weather exchange.

[jackiekjono.livejournal.com]

You know, from the northern perspective it kind of looks like Prisoner Zero has escaped.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

that is an AWESOME COMMENT

[jackiekjono.livejournal.com]

your welcome.

[phoenix64.livejournal.com]

Gee, and all I have to be concerned about is a little freezing rain later this week. Hee hee hee. OK, sorry. Bundle up and be safe, OK?
