Stay safe and warm, all of you in the frigid zones.

This explains why it is so cold here this week. I'm freezing my tail off in this 66 degree weather. 10 degrees less than last week. 10 degrees! I almost had to wear a jacket this morning. Damn you polar vortex!

There is nothing new under the sun. Climate change, global warming, polar vortex - Bah humbug. Every thing in its season. All is of God. Appreciate!

I love thunderstorms.  When I was 16 I was camping by a lake in Canada and a thunderstorm moved across the lake. Probably about 100 yards out.  I sat on the bank dry as a bone and watched it move across the water.  That was a great experience that I'll never forget.  For those who can appreciate it, I rode a Suzuki TS 125 from Connecticut to Canada (and back) for a weeks vacation.

Not quite as romantic, but I remember once as a kid seeing it rain like crazy in the back yard, and be dry in the front yard.  That's made a lasting impression on me.

Happens all the time in Mobile - Many times I've seen it rain just on one side of the street

I'm jealous of all you Southerners.  It's a lot warmer in the Midwest right now, but we had a lot of freezing rain last night, and the roads are very icy. Spring can't come soon enough!
