Anybody here getting as weird of weather as I am?

Post by Neon Heart » Mon Mar 20, 2006 4:39 am

The weather here in Kansas City is being... What I like to call topsy-turvey. Why you ask?

Okay, well... Last Sunday, the Kansas City metro experienced one of it's earliest and biggest tornado outbreaks in the month of March. Seriously, it was a really weird day. It all started at like 8am I think, and went almost nonstop for 15 hours, three rounds of storms in all, but HUGE freakin' super cell storms nonetheless. What made it all so weird was when the first microbursts and tornados were reported, it was only between 40 and 50 degrees outside. There were at least 61 tornado reports alone, that day.

And now... the forecast for Monday in Kansas City? Sleet, snow, and ice.

This seriously isn't a joke, this is true stuff. I know it isn't exactly impossible, but it's just too weird for me to experience tornados and bad snow storms within a week.

x____X;;

EDIT: I would also like to report that we've just been issued under a winter storm warning. I guess they wouldn't talk about this sorta thing for three or four days, and not be serious about it, right? xD;

I don't think I can say the weather has been weird here for just March. For most of January, it felt more like April. Then in February, it felt like winter here again. And now in March it's been moving back and fourth. Just last Friday, it was warm enough and nice enough to sit outside in shorts and a t-shirt, and the very next day we were all back in long sleeves.

Well, weird weather is nothing new if you live in Colorado. A couple days last week it was so warm and sunny it almost felt like summer and in the mood for shorts, but the next day the wind was blowing at a million miles per hour. Right at this moment, it freakin snowed so bad school closed, so that's why I'm here.

Yep, odd weather is nothing new if you've lived in Colorado as long as I have (or longer).

Oh yeah, it rained and thundered ligthly this weekend before the freakin snowstorm came in.

*Shrugs* in Texas it changes every day, so I'm not surprised that we had a HUGE string of storms all weekend, it's 71 today, and tomorrow it'll be 55.

Our weather has been very messed up all year long so far. (Which is probably why my eczema has been so completely terrible -__-) We've gotten extremely rapidly shifting, weird weather. In a span of like a day between each arrow, we go from...

Negatives -> 60s -> snow storm -> rain -> negatives -> storm with 80 mph winds -> sunny, warm day -> frozen tundra again

That's pretty bad, even for us. But then again... Oswego is, as I like to call it, "Lake Ontario's B*tch".

Seattle is known for odd ball weather, in the last few years. Growing up, my mom used to tell me "If you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes it'll change".

We had 28 days straight of rain back in January. Another couple weeks and it would have rivaled Noah's Flood. sometimes we have winter weather that is almost spring like. Then we had hail and bad storms. This month we got snow for a hour, a couple days.

I miss the days when the weather was normal.

In Maryland, I've been experiencing the weather changes as well.

Back in January, it was getting a bit warm, that I rarely wore my fall jacket, and I even wore my shorts while I go out running. Then, a few weeks later, we had a snowstorm. Now, in March, the weather has gotten warmer and I went back to waering shorts for running. This morning, I experienced some flurries, and the weather was a bit cold.
