    Nothing Like Midwest Weather..

    Nebraska (And other states) are in our 1st Tornado Watch of the year. It's almost 80 degrees here today...40 some degrees tomorrow...30's and snow by the weekend.

    Can you say Spring weather in the Midwest has schizophrenia?? :bbg: :bbg:

    We're due snow for the rest of the week.....

    There's a saying for Rochester: We have two seasons, Winter and 4th of July Weekend.....
    There are rules. Knowing those are easy. There are exceptions to the rules. Knowing those are easy. Knowing when to use them is slightly less easy. There are exceptions to the exceptions. Knowing those is a little more tricky, and know when to use those is even more so. Our industry is FULL of all of the above.

    Rain, hail, wind, thunder, lightning (NO tornados). Supposed to turn to snow tonight or early tomorrow. The idea of an extended trip to Tahiti is entering my mind again.

    Parts of the Dakotas are expecting 18 - 24 inches of snow with blowing and drifting :( :(

    I thought the only two seasons you have are winter and mosquito.

    I love spring in the mid-west. Usually good weather with an occasional storm.

    It snowed here a few days last week, in fact, it snowed literally all day on Saturday. The funny part was, it didn't stick to the ground so it was like a waste of snow hehe :bbg:

    The joke in Oklahoma: if you don't like the weather, just wait a minute!!

    I love a good storm; I think I sleep best when it's storming. In all my life that I've lived in OK, I've never seen a tornado, either. But I love a thunderstorm. :)
    It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

    Wish ya'll would keep that stuff up there, it's been unseasonally cool here the last few days, highs in the mid '50's.
    Heard a few talking head/state politicians say it was due to budget cuts. We can't afford Spring, will go from this to 105 in a short time.

    People are complaining that it's been in the 40's in Nebraska. They're the same people who will complain when it's 100 degrees with 100% humidity in the Summer!

    You know you're from Michigan if you know the 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction!
    The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    Took the ferry to the City on Saturday; 68, sunny, refreshing breeze off the ocean, big fluffy clouds, visibility about a jillion miles, gulls and pelicans very happy with the fishing.
    I feel very left out.

    Needless to say, all over the country, it's been really crazy weather.

    Last night, my fiance and I had our heater on because it was about 30 degrees out..yet it was lighting, thundering and raining with 30 MPH winds.

    I just used our last bag of pellets, and hope to not have to use them again until the fall. Also thankful to not be in a tornado area. Praying for all those who where hit this past weekend.

    I am just wondering when we (in Nebraska) will start seeing SPRING temperatures. I feel like I live in Seattle with all the damp, dreary, windy, chilly, rainy weather! My lilies aren't liking this weather :(

    Well I checked the 10 day forecast and as of right NOW it's supposed to be 70 and sunny. Cross your fingers it will stay 70 and sunny! Although I am sure it will change 56 times between now and then. Hopefully, my mom will have a talk with the big man upstairs and tell him it needs to be beautiful out for her daughter's wedding. :bbg: :bbg:
