Wake Up Thunder Boomer

Thunderstorms rolled through this morning providing areas with some heavy rains. The winds weren't not too bad at least in the Fairborn/Beavercreek area. The US Weather Service is calling for about 3/4" of new rain today with a decent chance of more thunder storms.

Deatils for the next few days.

Tornado Chasing: Goshen Co, Wyoming

A tornado is a awesome display of nature's power. I don't want to see one cruise through Dayton - or any other populated place. However, skipping over open ground it's pretty damn cool to see. Here are a couple of videos from this years batch of tornado chasers.

And.... we're back (almost)

Sorry folks, through the magic of the internets - the current conditions and forecast chugged along while I was away. I'm back June 1st and more posts will be coming. Thanks to the folks who have emailed me asking how I am. Just busy and away a lot. Back to the grind June 1st.

Testing New Things...

It's been a while. And it's going to get cold!

Been away so no personal observations...

Being out of town I have to rely on other reports. A dusting of snow? Well since my car is out in the open that's just fine with me.

Brrrrr.... Chilly Week Head

It's cold out there this AM. My trusty car's thermometer reading 22 degrees this morning. Cold but not record cold (see below).

Flurries...

Not much that I saw in the way of snow. But it's only the middle of November. I love to watch snow fall. Not so much for shoveling or driving in it. And, I heard a Christmas preview weekend on the radio, so the snow was a nice touch.
