This Weather has got to Go!

[saltysurprise]

I got rained out at work again today:rolleyes:. Drive nearly an hour to the job, work for 90 minutes and it starts. Rain, sun, rain, sun. It's uncomfortably muggy too. How's that Hurricane watch going in your neck if the woods there Creampuff?:wonder:

On the plus side, I'm working in a fairly affluent and snotty part of town. This old guy on his wannabe Harley Davidson (I think it was a Yamaha) who lives across the street has TOTAL attitude. 'I'm bad a**', with my leather vest, my little skull cap and big burly beard:rolleyes:. Anyway, he was pulling out and I tried to smile and wave (he never smiles or waves), he shoots me a dirty look... And stalls it leaving his drive way!! :lol::lol: Hilarity ensued. For me anyway. Good work cool-guy!:thumbsup::lol:. Oh, and I saw a licence plate frame that said, "I'm not speeding, I'm qualifying". Perfect...

[EIR Loe.307]

Well Tropical Storm Erin passed without too much issue. There is a Hurricane on its way now. There are some other disturbances to follow it as well.

Lovely:rolleyes:.

I was reading in the paper today that 6 people had been killed in your area because of the flooding. People stranded in cars in the flood waters:wonder:. I know it doesn't seem like much after what's happened over the past couple of years down there (Katrina), but stay safe bro:thumbsup:

[EIR Loe.307]

This is peak season too. I have to get the plywood fitted this weekend so if I need to board the windows I'll be ready. Hope that there's no need though. Knock on wood. ;)

[saltysurprise]

I'm glad I live on a big rock. No flooding. There are earthquakes though:wonder:. So far they have been little more than amusing.

Not to put a scare into you, but aren't you glad you're not working off-shore right now?:eek: YIKES!

You got that right. The boat would be onshore right now though. It freaking raining again. It was nice this morning. Blue sky and all. Oh well. Guess the xbox will be getting fired up tonight. :lol:

Raining here too. Not like there though.

Jenn's gone to chick-flick with her GF. I can't decide between tube steaks on the bbq or pizza for dinner. I got the beer and some of that west coast funk;). I'll prolly crank up the home theater and watch '300' while no one can complain:rolleyes:.

Hot dogs it is:D Ooodles of onions, mustard and cheese. Can't for get the Bulls Eye hot southern cajun BBQ sauce.. *drooling*

Its raining in the good ol' UK again .. again .. again .. again ... :eek::wonder:

Here's a noon update for Sat.

[saltysurprise]

Here's a noon update for Sat.

Salty's Hurricane Telemetry Centre shows currently that you'll be wet, but otherwise ok. So far so good.

You must just love it or hate it that you can watch that shizzy rolling in on you. That's pretty freaky...

It gets kinda crazy around here when it's like this. I was at wal-mart getting my hurricane supplies (ok ok Hurricane party supplies). The storm isn't supposed to head here but they are out of alot of stuff already. I went for sweet & sour mix, pineapple juice, oj, coke, 7up, buttershots (liquor store) and all the necessary survival stuff. Ok so we're gonna get trashed beyond recognition and worry about the Dean thing later. Hehehe. We'll be making hurricanes of course.

[saltysurprise]

Hehehe. We'll be making hurricanes of course.

Ukk! Those things make me sick.:lol: And stupid:rolleyes:

Its raining in the good ol' UK again .. again .. again .. again ... :eek::wonder:

Has the flooding at least subsided a bit in your area? It was looking awfully soggy there a month ago:wonder:. Today we had a deluge of rain that rivaled some of our winter rain storms. It was gushing, and I got soaked.

These are a couple pics from last November just up Island a bit. During and after.

[EIR Loe.307]

Here is the current projected path, Atlantic outlook, and Dean path models. I'm near the 95W x 30N grid on the path models.

[EIR Loe.307]

Looks like we are going to be ok here on this one.

Boy, I'm glad I'm not vacationing in Belize right now by the looks of things:wonder:.

Looks like we are going to get hit about 1am on this one.:(

Batten down the hatches!! Humberto is coming to give ya a big wet willie!! :lol:

You know what blows me away?.. When people live in a area, known to have re-occuring natural disaters and generally piss-poor weather conditions for months at a time. Why not move?????? Is the weather (otherwise) and lifestyle THAT good that it's worth the risk?? :confused: Thanks for hiking the insurance rates, jackassess!:rolleyes::lol:

[EIR Loe.307]

Well folks, it finally got cool enough to have to wear shoes instead of sandals. Still in shorts though. :D

[Harakimi]

It's freezing in Finland, not much tho but there is snow even here in the most southern part of the country. Snow is good because now you can actually see something when you go out. :lol:

Hahaha! I know exactly what you mean:lol: It hasn't snowed in my town yet, but it's only about 2C this morning. My local ski hill has recieved about a meter of the fluffy stuff in the past 3 days or so though:thumbsup::D

[Ryan]

It snowed during the Remembrance Day weekend in New Brunswick. I was at the outdoor ceremony in 6 inches of snow and it was still snowing like crazy.

It's all gone now though. It's about 10 degrees and raining outside currently.

[Ryan]

It's getting colder and colder here, but still isn't cold enough to snow.:mad:

I always enjoy the coldest parts of the winter, because it has the best part of winter. Outdoor hockey.

Last year some friends and I built a huge rink outside our residence, and held a big campus wide 3-on-3 tournament. The rink was runner up in the CBC's nationwide backyard rinks competition. If we had won we'd have gotten free tickets to the Stanley Cup finals.:cool:

Here's a recently discovered picture of it. I'm on the far right in the dark blue.:cool:

[saltysurprise]

I miss outdoor rinks:( It doesn't get cold enough on the Island.

We used to make them in the back-yard when I lived in Alberta as a kid. My dad would get furious when he came home from work and the lawn was flooded and frozen:lol: And they were terrible, all lumpy with chunks of grass sticking out:lol:

That's a nice looking rink for sure:thumbsup: I remember seeing that on HNIC.

[Ryan]

It's snowing like mad here. A couple cm's an hour, and it's supposed to continue all night.

Here's hoping that classes are canceled tomorrow. If so than my semester is done a day early, as Tuesday is to be the last day of classes for the semester.

Just 5 3 hours exams separate me from Christmas break, and the halfway mark of my University career.

[EIR Loe.307]

I feel you, it's rough here too. Can you believe that it's going to be in the mid 60's F here tomorrow. So cold. Hehehe

[Ryan]

I feel you, it's rough here too. Can you believe that it's going to be in the mid 60's F here tomorrow. So cold. Hehehe

It's 27F here right now. Actually that's warm for this time of year.

[saltysurprise]

It's about 10C here right now, but we had up to 50cm of snow over the weekend, then it started to torential rain with the warm weather, now its flooding everywhere:wonder: There was 2 feet of water at the grocery store parking lot and a small lake in the school field.

The boat may come in handy:lol:

[JoelManiac]

Id love to see snow.:(
Its about 20c here now with thuderstorms that come over every afternoon then die out. I wish they would actually hit.

[EIR Loe.307]

It's just odd to watch all this coverage of snow and such even from north Texas yet here in Houston it's in the 80's F. :lol: I had to go back to shorts again. :rolleyes:

[Driverdb]

We've got a nice snow cover now with about 30 cm or so. I don't need anymore than this, please. :rolleyes:

[DanicaRules]

We have had nothing but rain the last several days, some of it freezes at night but not too bad, nothing like Oklahoma. But I am sick of precipitation. We need the sun!

[Ryan]

It's just odd to watch all this coverage of snow and such even from north Texas yet here in Houston it's in the 80's F. :lol: I had to go back to shorts again. :rolleyes:

It's below 0F here.:thumbsdown:

It's below 0F here.:thumbsdown:

0F? :eek: That's freakin cold man. What do you wear to handle weather like that? :wonder:

[Ryan]

0F? :eek: That's freakin cold man. What do you wear to handle weather like that? :wonder:

It's not as bad as it seems. A good coat, warm hat and gloves, and you're all set. I spent sometime in Northern Ontario a few years ago.

-50F baby:eek:

-50F baby:eek:

It's what all good Canadian kids go through:cool: I used to stand around in that in the morinings when I was a kid, waiting for the damb school bus. If you had wet hair, it would freeze instantly:lol: I was one of the only suckers who DIDN'T get his tongue stuck to anything freezing...

That reminds me... When I was young, my Mom had dogs. We had a metal trowel that we used to pick up 'dog eggs'. My little sister, when she was about 4, got that sucker stuck to her tongue one winter day:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: Nearly 30 years later, she never hears the end of it!:lol:

[Ryan]

I've never gotten my tongue stuck anything but I did freeze my hand to a metal door on time:banghead:. Believe me when I say that bloody hurts.

[saltysurprise]

I've never gotten my tongue stuck anything but I did freeze my hand to a metal door on time:banghead:. Believe me when I say that bloody hurts.

You're supposed to run luke-warm water over the affected area dumbass! Not just tear it away!:lol: When there's nothing else, there's always you-know-what;)

[Ryan]

Well that's eventually how I got it off. A buddy of mine went and got a cup of water. But in the meantime it really did hurt.

And the fact that my entire hand was frost bitten because of it as well was no laughing matter either.:thumbsdown:

[Harakimi]

We have had nothing but rain the last several days, some of it freezes at night but not too bad, nothing like Oklahoma. But I am sick of precipitation. We need the sun!

Sun? What is that? :D Just kidding, there is lovely blue sky outside, first time for few weeks...The sun got up today at 9am and will go down at 3pm, so thats 6 hours of light if we get lucky! :lol:

[DanicaRules]

Its raining again...This is like 9-10 days of rain.:mad: We had a little break yesterday afternoon but thats all. I am really tired of this rain. I do have to count my blessings that its not snow falling all this time.:D

[Ryan]

It hasn't been above 0C here in almost 2 weeks.:thumbsdown:

[saltysurprise]

It hasn't been above 0C here in almost 2 weeks.:thumbsdown:

I've been keeping an eye on the weather in your area on national news. You guys have really been taking a s*it kicking!:eek: Has it even been getting above minus 10!?!? Just last week you had a huge dump of snow too didn't you? 50cm in one day?

You're actually right on salty. It rarely gets above -10, and we did get 50cm in one day last week. They had to close the schools because of it.

This is actually very unlike a maritime winter. Usually it hovers around the 0 mark, with a mix of rain and snow, until well into January.

[EIR Loe.307]

Sat. night we're supposed to have our coldest night yet....39d F!:p

[JoelManiac]

It was pretty hot here today. At least 30 degrees. Pretty hot when you out working in it anyway. lol

[DanicaRules]

Well, we got dumped on with snow here Saturday night. Probably around 7". Yuck! It was wet and heavy snow. I shoveled but darn did it make me sore...

I wish it was summer..:(

[Radar]

I just wish that the weather would make up its mind what its doing. Two hours of fine weather followed by heavy rain with the occasional electrical storm and hail. Then it clears up for a few hours then the weather packs a sad again. this pattern has been going on for over a week now.

We are meant to be in the middle of summer in NZ.

[F1 Ferrari]

Here in Helsinki, Finland we no have snow.

[JoStream]

Here in Helsinki, Finland we no have snow.

You do or you don't have snow? I'll take a guess and say you have snow :huh:

[EIR Loe.307]

We're still going back and forth between shorts and pants here. :rolleyes: Cold front, warm front, cold front. FIGURE IT OUT!!! :lol:

[Harakimi]

You do or you don't have snow? I'll take a guess and say you have snow :huh:

We don't have. :banghead: It's raining at the moment AND we have nice storm coming from the sea...It should go below zero tomorrow, hopefully, because I don't want to spend my new year in the rain. :huh:

[DanicaRules]

We got a couple more inches today. Its blowing too which makes it worse. I shoveled today. Ouch, my back was killing me. I had just done my heavy back day with deadlifts the day before so my back was hurting.

I want summer!:mad:

[DanicaRules]

Not to get off topic, but yes, I was up there for 3 years. Did some fishing too.

Fished for red salmon (believe thats the name:o) and king salmon.

My biggest was a 36lb king salmon. That was fun.

Too cold and too much snow.

The weather we are having now can stay ! Its been very warm. Up in the 50's today and will be close to 60 the next couple days..:thumbsup:

I wouldnt mind winters if this was the worst they got.

It's finally snowing at southern Finland, it's even below zero celsius so there is actually a change that it doesn't melt away. :)

I take it, 0 celsius is the freezing point which is 32 degrees faranheit here ??:confused:

[Harakimi]

I take it, 0 celsius is the freezing point which is 32 degrees faranheit here ??:confused:

Correct. I wonder if we get -35 celsius (-31 farenheit?) this year. :cool:

[saltysurprise]

I take it, 0 celsius is the freezing point which is 32 degrees faranheit here ??:confused:

And -40 is -40 any way you look at it. Here's a great link to a metric/imperial conversion calculator that I've found useful and informative on MANY occasions;). www.worldwidemetric.com/metcal.htm

Correct. I wonder if we get -35 celsius (-31 farenheit?) this year. :cool:

I used to get that when I lived in Alberta, one province to the east. I can't say that I miss it that much. But the bright, sunny and very cold days sure as hell beat grey and drizzle and no sun:thumbsup: The snow even SOUNDS different at that temperature!:lol: You know what I mean;)

We've been having fantastic weather since the last time I posted in this thread. Temperture in the mid twenties celsius, hardly any rain.:)

Tonight it will get down to 0 and below with wind chill.:thumbsdown:

I am so ready for summer.

It's not the cold that makes you sick BB. It's the recycled, doors and windows shut, stagnant air that you (and everyone else) are breathing in whatever venue your in. Be it Walmart, work, school, church, liquor store, sauna... Being out-doors in winter doesn't make you sick;)

[Ryan]

Yeah man the cold winter air also pushes away all the pollution, so the air is cleaner the colder it gets.

That's why I love it so much when it's like -40. You get all bundled-up so you're still warm, but the air so clean and crisp. It's more refreshing than a cold drink on the hottest summer day.

Yeah, good points. It also seems the harder I workout and push myself, the more stress is put on the body and I risk getting more frequent colds. Heavy weight training can put serious stress on your immune system.

Im mega dosing vitamin C rite now.

I'm no expert here, but I do know this. You shouldn't be working out if you sense you are getting ill. Rest. Don't overdo it! And your body can only synthesize so much Vitamin C (and many other Vit's and minerals) so you may just be peeing your money away:lol: I've found Echinacea (sp) to help both in the prevention of harsh cold symptoms at the outset as well as relief from the symptoms during and speeding recovery. You've got nothing to lose from drinking a bit of Echinacea tea once or twice a day while ill. And who can resist chicken noodle soup?!?:D

Oh and get well soon:thumbsup:

Thanks for the get well!:)

Yeah, I was going to work out today but my throat was sore and I had no energy. I agree, when Im sick, I dont workout, not good for the body plus if I feel I cant give 100%, why bother ?

Just when I was getting into the training. Everything was progressing quite nicely.:(

Yes, you will either pee or sweat extra vitamin C but Im a believer in it. Plus I take glutamine as well, I believe it helps the immune system.

[EIR Loe.307]

I actually try to do more when I'm sick to "break" the cold or whatnot. Not sure that that's the best method though. :rolleyes:

[DanicaRules]

The old training saying was..

If symptoms are above the neck, ok, if they are below the neck, dont workout.

[Driverdb]

This weather has made me sick. I felt it coming on lastnight and tonight I feel worse than ever.:(

That sucks. I caught a cold on Christmas eve and it wouldn't let go until sometime last week. There must be some mega mutated cold virus going on here, it seems like everyone I'm talking to around here has had a cold that just refused to go away. :mad:

[DanicaRules]

Well, and update on my sickness.. I went to my doctor today and she prescribed quite a few meds for me.:eek:

She also told me I couldnt go to work tonight so I had to call in and use a sick day. I hate doing that.

I have the early stages of bronchitis plus early(possibly) influenza starting. Chest congestion, tightness, not breathing well.

She prescribed the following..

Tamiflu
Cefaclor
Medrol (methylpredisolone)
Nebulizer (breathing machine) along with some Xopenex to put into it.

I hope you're covered.

Have a nice nap and some chicken soup (not in that particular order). Go rest man. We got ya covered:thumbsup:

To bad the mighty drug companies are making a nice profit off of you suffering though:rolleyes: And a freaking Nebulizer!!?!?! Holy crap! That sounds pretty serious:( And expensive.. I hope you're covered.

Have a nice nap and some chicken soup (not in that particular order). Go rest man. We got ya covered:thumbsup:

And stop thinking about all that muscle mass going down the drain:lol: J/K;)

Thanks salty. Insurance covered the majority of the cost thank goodness. They covered all but $25 of the nebulizer which is over $300!

Im gonna take it easy tonight, watch some tv, drink some gatorade all night.

You know me too salty, thats exactly what I told my doctor that my training was going so well, I was gaining weight, the lifts were up. She was like well, Im going to get you back at it as soon as possible.

And awhile ago I thought, this means more time away from the gym.:(:(

Gatorade is supposed to not be very good when you're sick due to the sugar content. You may want to double check it.

I have always drank it when Im sick to keep me hydrated. I also like to add those flavor mixes to bottled water. Raspberry ice and orange are my two favorite.

I usually drink it too. :rolleyes:


Well, finally had to go to pants. It's wet and nasty out so I had to. It's in the mid 40's f. :rolleyes:

I can see the sky, I can see the SKY!! Wheee, party on! :D
Also there is snow on the ground, but according to the weather prodecast it won't stay. :(

[DanicaRules]

Its sunny but still very cold here today.

[DanicaRules]

The temperature was up around 50 degrees here and we had some rain. Late in the evening, some storms came through and the temperature dropped to like 20 degrees. The wind has been blowing hard all night. Luckily we dont have snow on the ground.

I hate winter. Im so ready for spring.

[saltysurprise]

Well here we are at 19th of April and it's snowing fluffy white kittens:huh: That just doesn't happen here on the coast:wonder:

It hailed some weird, soft, pea sized hail earlier, but no big deal. Now in the past hour it's accumulated about an inch of this crap!:banghead:

They are calling for up to 7 inches of this stuff over the next 2 days:eek: The odd lightning strike looks pretty cool though;)
Some areas already have nearly 4 inches.. So much for golf this weekend:rolleyes: It got up to 22C (72F) just 4 days ago!

It's 40C (103F) here in Nova Scotia today. It doesn't usually get this hot here, and very few people have air conditioning out here.

I refuse to complain about the heat in the summer because I prefer it to winter, it's dayum hawt!!!:cool:
