Crazy weather

[pepperfever]

Today is just wild, the wind came up 35-40 mph with gusts to 45-50..things blowing all over the place. Tipped the lawn swing completely over. It landed on one of our big pepper pots and split it down the middle. I was sitting on the swing to work on the overwintering peppers the other day but who knew this would happen? That wasn't bad enough, looked out the window after the second time of going out and it was snowing...now c'mon, enough already for this day. I'm done chasing things and staying in where it's warm. Are you getting the wind CH?

[rainbowberry]

I've just had rain all day here in the UK. The clocks went back today so it's dark now not long after 4pm.

[imaguitargod]

It's going to snow here tomarrow.

[DickT]

Is snow this time of year common

[imaguitargod]

Is snow this time of year common
When it comes to Cleveland the saying is, "If you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes." We've had hail on a clear day in June when it was 80 degrees out once....so to answer you question....I guess it's common....

[AlabamaJack]

it was 88F this afternoon here and is supposed to be in the 30s Tuesday morning...fall is trying to get a hold but this north texas weather is trying to push it out a little further...

sorry to hear about your swing pf...and snow already?....geez...

[pepperfever]

Yep the long ago years when I was trick or treating, many were spent in boots and snow suits...costumes in the midwest fit over snow suits lol. I don't think this snow will stick but today's high so far has been 37 and it's not warming up. RB our time goes back next Sunday, I know what you mean about dark shortly after 4.

Are you getting the wind CH?

yep! didnt get snow, just some light rain & sleet & it wasnt much of that either.
dont worry it'll most likely be the same winter as previous ones, where theres no real snow depth until Jan./Feb. & you'll still be able to see your lawn in Dec. :rolleyes:

I sure would love to see a remake of halloween 1991 :shocked::lol: damn we all got dumped on with snow then got dumped on again about 2 weeks later that year, it was crazy & cool.

[pepperfever]

I remember it well CH, that was a snow for sure. We had more snow before the end of the year than we normally had all winter. I heard this year is forecast to be a milder than normal winter. I personally am not a winter person, like snow but have no use for cold and ice. I'll take summer any day.

[Sickmont]

It's actually going to be in the 40's at night this week in Fl. And i can't wait! WOO-HOO!!!

[talas]

Uep R.B the rain came and we had 80 mph winds in wales..Just another day really lol but this week its frost time so its cut back whats left and time to think of 09 season :)

[imaguitargod]

Now it's raining....

[AlabamaJack]

They have just cancelled a freeze warning here in Ft Worth and redid the forecast calling for a low tonight of 39F...looks like I dodged another bullet for the near future...supposed to back to 81F Friday...low in the morning 39, Wednesday morning 46, then nothing below 53 is shown until the end of the extended forecast November 5th...that means one more good harvest....this time, it will be superhots....

Looks like you and me are having the about same weather, AJ. I'm bringing my Caribbean red in tonight and tuesday night just in case, you know?

[imaguitargod]

Now it's raining....
It just hailed for about 5 minutes now it's raining again.

[pepperfever]

Lucky you AJ they're forecasting 17 for a low tonight...that's crazy! Way too early for me but the rest of the week should be warmer. I hope so anyway.

[imaguitargod]

Now it's raining....

It just hailed for about 5 minutes now it's raining again.

Ok, now it's snowing and lightly hailing all at one. There's about 1/2 inch of snow on the back of my car right now.

[imaguitargod]

[AlabamaJack]

well, the SOBs redid the forecast again and are calling for 28-32 in the morning...really caught me off guard but I brought in 3 Bhut Jolokias, 7 Dorset Nagas (real ones, not the Ebay ones), 6 Fatalii and 5 Devils tongue...my poor 7 pots and T. Scorpions are full of pods but I can't move them because the roots have grown thru the bottoms of the pots and I can't break them loose...oh well, there's always next year...and I moved the 2nd year O. Hab in the house...all the others are in the garage...

[SaltandPepper]

now that i live in los angeles i don't have to deal with weather in the traditional sense. it is pretty much is clear and sunny everyday so it throws me off when i call back home and hear that it is cold and snowing. i do miss the fall season though.

[moyboy]

Snowing already for you guys.... That's a bit scary.... It is starting to get warm here now, but the other day we had a feezing day. Went from 30 C to 15C in a day and was snowing in some part that don't usually get snow at this tiem of the year...

[rainbowberry]

Have you had any snow today Talas? I heard that some places in the Midlands had, but I heard that on Radio One and we both know how general that is for weather.

We have about an inch R.B SNOW in October back home yes..But here :shocked:

[talas]

Just covering my overwintered plants with fleece because its really cold thermometer showing -1 :)

[GrumpyBear]

it snowed last week and stayed for a couple days, then it rained for a few days in a row then it was really nice but now its supposed to snow tomorrow

[POTAWIE]

Well we sure got the snow eh Grumpybear? and its only October. I forgot how much I hate shovelling

[imaguitargod]

We probably have well over an inch on the ground right now of fresh cocain (read: snow). It's been snowing on and off for three days now. But Friday it'll be 60 degrees again...

[rainbowberry]

It's really cold here, not like 'snow cold' but I can't get warm. Even the spidermites on my Jamaican Red are marching up and down their webs with their coats, hats, mittens and scarves on.

[Chiliac]

It's been raining all day and it is cold and windy, too. The kinda weather you just love to hate!!!

[imaguitargod]

We're warming up now in Cleveland. Tomarrow it's supposed to be 60 degrees.

[AlabamaJack]

the south wind here is keeping the cold at bay for a few more days...its 72F right now and supposed to be mid to high 70s for the next week...maybe even a couple of days in the low 80s

[Armadillo]

Last night we had our first snow for this season! It didn't stay, we had temperatures above 32° F / 0° C during the day.

[willard3]

Quit yer bitchin'......6" new snow here.

[Chiliac]

There was no frost yet here, but last night it came pretty close it seems, some of my plants had suffered massively and I had to pick all the peppers so they won't rot on the plants (or what's left of them!). I have put the ripening hoods back on and hope they'll provide some protection!

[Armadillo]

Quit yer bitchin'......6" new snow here.

Can't cope with that...:shocked:

[imaguitargod]

Hey Willard, you're in New York, right?

[Sickmont]

Hey Willard, you're in New York, right?

Conneticut, i believe.

[AlabamaJack]

it'll be in the low 80s here for until next Wednesday with lows around 60...god I love Texas....

I can't handle cold weather...makes my old bones ache...

[willard3]

New Yawk right where Mass, VT and NY come together.

[pepperfever]

I understand Willard, seems like the NE has gotten our midwest weather the last few years. We haven't had a snow like that for a while.
