Well, I guess I should have asked Santa for a weather station, for Christmas! :) We lost power on Christmas morning, due to high winds, for 2 days (Thank Goodness for the generator). It started raining, here, night before last, and has taken a few breaks...but a nice steady rain, no less. The thunde...

Just got a notification, on Facebook, that part of Bearkat Blvd, in Huntsville is closed due to flooding. And so the fun begins...

It has been raining here, with varying intensity, since about midnight. I was kind of surprised that the rain started so early, last night/this morning. Just had a pretty heavy band move through, with some thunder.

Wishing all our friends "over yonder" a speedy recovery from this. Keeping my fingers crossed that all of our wobble-watching is for naught.

Board is quiet. Eerily... But since it is, at the moment, thought I would share this from the other board regarding my earlier question about "Hurricane" vs "Tropical Storm" designation: "I heard a point that if you're a homeowner who gets damage, you really don't want this...

It doesn't make any difference at all other than from a historical point at this time. Reanalysis has changed many a forecast after the fact. FEMA and Personal Insurance makes no difference what so ever. Disaster Declarations have already been issued both from State and the Federal Level for Louisi...

Is there any reason for declaring a storm offically a "Hurricane" vs "Tropical Storm"? I can understand a historical perspective. But, am curious as to any implications as far as Federal Disaster relief funds, or personal insurance claims, etc...

Sleeting here, now, in southern Walker County. Just West of I-45.

Well, the winds this morning are from the North @ 8, with gusts to 16...supposedly meaning "Bad weather for the year"...Hopefully, not! The drought this past summer was bad enough. I'm really hoping for a reprieve, this year.

Good Morning, Everyone! I hope you all had a great Christmas. And, I hope it will be followed by an even better New Year! I was playing around researching some New Year's Day superstitions/traditions, and ran across this about the weather: At Sunrise on New Years morning, observe the weather: Winds ...

A close family friend of mine, is in Springfield, MA. She made it through the storm okay. Bless her heart...she goes to Baylor with my niece, and was at school a few weeks ago, when they had tornadoes in Waco. She just got home (in Mass.) for summer break, and swears the tornadoes are following her!

Yay! Glad everything is back up and running! I kept expecting some sort of message about the forum to show up on my Facebook KHOU news feed...but nothing. I was getting a little concerned! Even though I don't post very often, I read everyday, several times a day. I felt lost without my "weather...

While it isn't freezing rain, there is a steady light rain falling, here. With temperatures already below freezing and a pretty stiff wind...it won't take long to start having some slight problems around here. Luckily, it was well above freezing for the past couple of days. My neice is a grad studen...

Light Freezing drizzle, here. Cars are completely glazed over with a thin sheet of ice.

And speaking of "stirring the pot"...I've got the chicken boiling for a big pot of Chicken and Dumplings. We're going to need some "warming your soul kinda food" for later this evening, when we come in from playing in the snow. ;) As for now, I can report it is really cold up her...

We are at currently at 26.7 degrees, up here in southern Walker County. Winds are much calmer tonight. Thanks to all you on the "night crew" for keeping us up-to-date...especially us insomniacs!
