Tuesday the humidity levels raised dramatically
here, the dry line hung just to the west of our house on Tuesday. Then around 6:15PM the winds picked up, the
dry line moved to the east of us and our temperatures dropped dramatically. Then between 2 – 3 AM all hell broke
loose. We had heavy winds, temperatures dropped
to 28 degrees, lightning, thunder, and hail.
At around 6AM the ice started to form on trees, and the ground, and then
it started to snow. Temperatures rose to
32 degrees later in the day. The weather finally passed here, temperatures
today were 32 degrees this morning, and 56 degrees this afternoon, the sun is
out, and the moisture on the ground is starting to dry up.
We weathered the storm okay and we were totally prepared
for anything to happen. The only damage,
a few shingles on the roof needing replaced, and trash that blew in onto the
property needs picking up.
The weather people here are now telling us to expect
another cold front, and bad weather end of next week.
Thank you to all my friends for the kinds words
about being careful while the storm came through.
Now, I’m sending prayers and warm thoughts to all of
my friends who are in the pathway of this horrific storm. Please be careful, and hunker down.
Stay safe my friend. And thoughts to all of your friends that are in the path of this bad storm.

ReplyDeleteSo glad you made out OK!
Kimberly,
DeleteI'm very happy the storms didn't turn into tornadoes.
Glad there were no tornados your way...all was good here too...just some rain and cold...no ice though!
ReplyDeleteHL,
DeleteI'm very happy there were no tornadoes here too. The ice has melted, it didn't stay to long. I'm glad you just had rain and cold. I pray for those people who touched and lost everything in this storm.
We have a severe storm heading our way with damaging winds and possible tornadoes. Should be here just before 10PM...I hate these that come at night. Can't see anything, only hear terrible things until the lightening flashes.
ReplyDeleteMamma Bear,
DeletePlease be careful and hunker down. I hate when tornadoes run through an area at night, it's scarey.
Give us updates on things later, we will want to know everything is okay. Sending prayers for you and the family.
Have you ever jumped from bed in your pj's and run out into the yard to take in the storms...it's fun. It bugs my wife to death when I do it....stay safe.
ReplyDeleteStephen,
DeleteCrazy as it sounds, hubby and I both have run outside in our PJ's to watch storms off in a distance or rolling in toward our home. Usually when we do this we fail to grab the camera.
Were all safe here tonight, the storm has passed. Expecting more the end of next week.
Hunker down and hold on. This may soon become the norm.
ReplyDeleteCrazy and scary as it sounds, it may just be the norm.
DeleteWe only got the wind, rain, and cold. Glad your safe and sound. I can't wait until tornado season is over. Scary time of year!
ReplyDeleteKelly,
DeleteI'm happy to hear you just got wind, rain and cold.
Tornado season is just getting started, it's going to be a while before this will pass.
Oh I am so glad you made it through darn weather is crazy:) Take care B
