Our Stranger Summer Just Keeps Getting Stranger!






We have to start off this morning with a song from the Twilight Zone. Snow is in the forecst in northern Wyoming on Friday night which is only about 1,200 miles from Lafayette and at the same time we have no 90 degree weather even close to us. A nor'easter is heading up the East Coast. Florida has had damaging thunderstorms due to a cold front nearby. Normally this does not happen until October. The big threat for Florida by early next week will be a hurricane. There could be not one but two hurricanes forming in the next 10 days. I haven't even gotten to the 110 mph jet stream howling into the Tennesee Valley from the northwest. What season is it? You could make a case all of our upper-level maps are looking like a mix of autumn and winter. The developing hurricanes will be a reminder that it really is still summer. I will have more on this bizarre pattern and the Purdue's back to school forecast. Boiler Up!

Hi Justin and all bloggers. I had a thundershower pass through at 2:00 a.m. this morning leaving .25 inch rain, just as Justin did. I saw that cell forming down by Laf and wondered who would get that rain. We needed a shower--to make the grass grow, LOL..I have been mowing this summer about every four days. Last summer I went WEEKS without mowing. I do NOT miss last summer at all!

Good afternoon all! I was awakened by the sound of thunder and rain, had to close windows at 2:30 am.

Wild wx indeed, Hey Mary Anne, I just saw the photo of the cold air funnel cloud you were telling me about. I have witnessed a couple of them, they can be scary looking!,

Great Job Lady:)

Hope they have good wx! Have a great time Justin!

Yes teri we donated some stuff there last year and also went to the sale so it has become something we do every year and the best thing is of course it is for a good cause.
