Atlas is down...

I dumped the 5" rain gauge 4 times in the last two weeks and I just got
another 3" yesterday. Not that I'd trade water for fire, mindya, but
somewhere in between there has to be a happy medium.

In about another hour, we'll loose that 1 degree C, and the fog will
start
freezing to everything.... again.

The high was 82 deg. f. here today. (NW Oklahoma)... on the 3rd of
January. We've had two weeks of unseasonably warm weather. Of course
everything is so dry that there are wild prairie fires raging in the area.
Winds are gusting to 40. They just evacuated a small town to the
northwest of us. We're about 12 inches behind normal on rainfall and we
only get about 20 per year. I'd trade some warmth for some moisture!

There's a good reason that "weather" is a curse word in German.

your slightly older self.

Is it really? That's news to me, a native German.
It seems plausible, however, that you meant "Sch...wetter" (one word) which
translates as "sh..ty weather" (two words) in English... :-)

Greetings,

The German word for people has several connotations, but I am not aware
of any associated with the word for weather.

I give anything for some of that rain. In the last several days I have
flown over some of our wildfire areas. Remember the town of Ringgold,
TX, it is 60% gone. More low humidity and high winds are forecasted
during the next week.

I think that is called Hawaii.

Be happy you are not on the NW Coast.

had company. sheesh
