Snow Storm Update

[rose1966]

Just thought I'd give a quick update on our snowstorm situation. The full force of the storm did not hit our city until about 3:30 yesterday afternoon. It was supposed to arrive the night before but a warm front came up from the south and "fought" against it making the cold front move extremely slow. It took it nearly seven hours to get from

We're calm again after a rather wooly night. There is no real damage that I can find. The garden is still in tact and that's always my husband's main concern.

I'm SO glad your maple was saved! I bet it's beautiful in autumn! I hate to see old trees brought down because it takes so LONG to replce them. A hundred years sometimes!

My heart is with the families of the people who lost their children in the school in Alambama, and the college students who died on that bus in Atlanta!

Hugs,
Rach

Rach, I am soooo glad to hear from you here. I can go online but I can't get our email to go in or out (I may have to call Juno later but I want to wait a bit in case it is storm related). I was really concerned about you because I heard that 31 tornados were spawned in your state and the ones around you. I am glad to know that you are safe and that your garden is still intact.

Yes, my heart aches for those who lost their children yesterday. What a horrilbe tragedy and great loss.

It's very calm and sunny over here. Nothing like where you live.

But my boss in stuck in Chicago once again. He was flying from somewhere in North Carolina to Chicago for a connecting flight to Europe but he missed his flight in Chicago due to the storm. I had him on the phone today and he said it was still pretty bad so lets hope he can get back home today.

Glad it is calm and sunny there, Cristiel. Do you get much snow? How about snow storms? I am quite ignorant as to what the weather is like in Europe. My oldest son is studying geography right now and there is a chapter that covers weather around the world. I should read it.

I am sorry your boss is stuck in Chicago again! Hopefully he will get home safely today.

We do get snow but not a lot. We only got a bit up to now and it remained for about half a day only. We don't get snow storms but we can get very windy, stomy weather. A few weeks ago, we had a bad storm that caused a lot of damage. Last summer and this winter have been exceptionally warm, we hardly had any temperatures below 0. To give you an idea, right now it's about 60° (15°C)with blue sky and sun. But that is also not normal for this time of year.

Thanks so much for the telling me about your weather. I find it fascinating to learn things like that about different countries. Wow, I am sure you are enjoying your 60 degree weather! Wish you could send some our way. :-)

Thanks, Mumis. That is wonderful that you are having such nice weather there. I am sure you are enjoying it!

Thanks, Amy.

That is really scary to have a large tree outside the house during strong wind storms.

It is nice and warm in the house. I am so thankful that we don't have to go any where until Sunday.

Thanks for updating us Rose. I was thinking about you. Glad your husband got home safe. It's a blessing that the storm was delayed. Is this kind of snow storm typical for Iowa?

It's about 42degrees here on Long Island, and we are getting thunder storms. March does tend to be a rainy month here.

I didn't hear anything about the children in Alabama or Atlanta. Don't think I want to :(

[rose1966]

Thanks, Nuke. Yes, I was really glad that the storm was delayed.

Keep warm and dry and safe!
