Thankfully we're not! Keep safe, y'all!!
Rain was in the forecast for us yesterday evening. It poured and then turned into snow, but blue skies today. Funny thing was, hubby & youngest son were out putting new wiper blades on his car when the rain came down in buckets

We are actually headed into warmer weather expecting close to 70 degrees here tomorrow yay!! I hope things don’t get to bed for anyone effected by the storm forecast for you. I’m ready to jump right into summer here personally.

Stay safe and warm! We have had our share of cold and snowy weather this winter (even though it came pretty much within a couples weeks time). We are actually supposed to be in the 60's tomorrow and then in the 40's! Enjoy your time off from work! Curl up with a good book, or if you keep power, do some scrapping!

No snow in the forecast here! In fact, the high for tomorrow and Friday is 71. It's looking like we'll get (MORE!) rain and maybe some thunderstorms on Friday, and then it's going to get colder on Saturday, just in time for an outdoor festival I'm volunteering at that night. :thumbdown:

Sadly Val we have it too, but you and I are practically neighbors!
The last wind storm our neighbors never fixed their fence, even though the surrounding neighbors asked them repeatedly if they fixed it. Guess what? They didn't. Our fence snapped in two places. The other two sides of their fences snapped and now they are flapping against the wind. A piece of one of the fences snapped off and broke another neighbor's gate, and we aren't even in the worst of the storm!!
My husband and I are currently brainstorming how to fix our 50' run of fence before we list our house in 17 days. With my surgery, I'm not allowed to do anything of repetition or lift over 5lbs.
Was really hoping this storm missed us.
Stay safe there, Val! It doesn't sound like it's going to let up until tomorrow afternoon/evening. :wub:

Welp, didn't heed any of the warnings to stay off the roads and went out to grab lunch with Keith... and totaled my car.
WHAAAA!!!!!
I'm ok, but all the side and seat airbags went off, windows busted out, wheel is all smashed up. On top of that, I was filing my ins claim and realized that all this time I wasn't paying for collision coverage. Cause I guess I only get adulting things right 90% of the time.

I had just moved here when that wind storm hit, so I remember it well, lol! Doesn't seem as bad this time?

For once I can say not us!! Haha... we have had like the 8th snowiest winter on record.... something crazy like 58 in this winter. Now we are melting snow like crazy and we are having heavy rain. The storm drains are plugged with snow so we have lots of standing water. I pray our sump pump stays pumping!

That's such a bummer about your fence, Wendy! I hope you'll be able to find an inexpensive fix for it.

Oh no!! Val I'm so sorry!! Are you guys okay? Did you all have to go the ER? Anything broken? I'm so sorry :wub: Do you need anything, after the storm and the roads are clear, of course!
Right now, no. It doesn't. I can't get any of the local news to update what's going on. I'm wondering if it's fizzling down. Fingers crossed it is because I don't want any more damage done to our property!

Oh no Val! Glad you are okay.
We're in CO. The kids and I stayed in and hubby went to work only for a couple hours this morning. He left a little before 11AM because there was barely visibility and he had to drive from the Tech Center, which was a mess. Thankfully, he was safe. No trees down in our yard, but some in our neighbors and a few fences are done for.

We've had some storms as well.
Not like storms in the US, but some quite big ones. We're not really used to that in Belgium.
Our neighbours roof of their home came off and landed in our backyard on Sunday. And our neigbours from across the street, their car got hit with debris.
Lots of people their home got damaged.
I couldn't get home on Sunday. Public transportation was shut down.
We've still got stormy weather at the moment. Lots of wind, rain, snow, hail... I was soaked and cold yesterday when I came home from work.

Nah, I'm ok. I was pretty shook up because I've never had such a hard collision before, but nothing hurts. The lady I hit said immediately that her neck hurts, so that could fun
Don't need anything, but we should get together for coffee or something soon! Now that I'm done with school my schedule has opened up and I don't feel like a zombie crazy person anymore, lol!
