They are just killing me! weathermen!

[growalot]

Ok just fire all of them some body Please!... Today severe weather high winds 100% chance of rain and thunderstorms all day...It's breezing 60 and up until just now blue skies and sunny. So I look again 30% chance of rain and overcast. Good thing I didn't listen and went for my walk and did a little work... Then I click on the SEVERE weather alert tab...Flooding Thursday through Saturday.I'm thinking I'm not holding my breath, seeing it's Tuesday and they couldn't get it right in an 8hr time frame let alone several days.

What really bothers me about this is the satellites.. I watched a show about all the ones circling the earth and how they all map every single aspect of our world 24/7. Temps, layered wind currents and speeds, ocean currents and speeds...ect...ect..ect and they don't' seem to get as close to being right as the guys did when I was a kid 50 bleeping years ago! When technology like we have today, was only in comic books! 

OK I'm done...

Just a bunch of Weather rookies on these channels. I like intellicast for weather info.

I use weather underground ...which I think uses the national weather...but also has the radar for the area we are in listed...we have 4 local data gathering units on the local farms, both hill top and valley.

Only job in the world you can be wrong everyday and still get paid.

IDK, they hit it pretty close most of the time. We had over an inch of rain between last night and this morning. Now, wind gust up over 50 mph. as forcasted. Lights are flickering. Getting ready for lights out, again.

I wonder what the weathermen think of antler restrictions ?

I briefly played in a band called The Weathermen many years ago. We absolutely sucked, but somehow we still got payed.

I hope they are right. We need it in our area to dry things out a bit. Your right up the road so I'm sure your just as soaked as we are.

Well, weathers are calling for up to 2 1/2" of rainfall here today, with up to 2" of wet snow tonight. Flood watches up for a large area of the state. April showers bring May flowers, if they don't wash out in the process. 

Just like walking on a wet sponge here.

I can see they haven't gotten any better since hunting season then.

[growalot]

If it's going to flood the rain had better start soon...because I have been out all morning until 1:30 and it was windy but gorgeous to work. Just as I hit the door it started to sprinkle but that was only enough to wet the drive. It is 46.8 which means 44 here,tops. That is a 4 degree drop since 6am this morning. So again so much for rain all day....

[growalot]

They finally got it right....we have well over an inch of wet snow and it's still snowing so we could get the 1-3 they predicted. though the winds barely moving the flag so 20mph with 40gusts isn't any where near us as of yet. Think I'll have time to finish trimming the pear trees and grapes can't complain it's really pretty out there. and it will keep the Toms from being to "frisky" with the hens too early in the season.

This has been as depressing a Spring as I can remember. Especially after the past few years when Summer basically started in March

[growalot]

I really do not like quick summer no springs...I have time for some great peas and spinach

We're on sump pump/crock watch. Sump is taking on water and it's moving it out once every few minutes.

Normal operation for most people, but my house either floods like a pool or is bone dry. Getting water into the crock at all has never happened (outside of fully flooding from other points of entry in the basement), so this is a first. Probably as close to flooding as I can get before actually flooding out. I have a heavy leak on one of the clamps/gaskets joining my outlet pipes right at the corner of my foundation - where the pipe leading to daylight connects. Was planning on grabbing the parts this weekend, and it may end up costing me since I am sure that water is recirculating back into the crock. 

Part of what makes my house flood is also what makes the water leave fast, too. Hoping as the hours go by, it improves quickly. We're getting mixed wet snow and not a lot of precipitation.

Good Luck Phade..
