On this day in:
1987: it was a night to remember. Overnight (5th-6th) unseasonable thunderstorms in Los Angeles County and Antelope Valley left 1/2 million people powerless (many for as long as 3 1/2 days), caused many flash floods, and many lighting induced fires.
1993: a stong upper-level low brought snow to elevations as low at 5000' in west and south Nevada. 3-6" were common above 6000', 6-9" were common above 7500'. 4" fell on Tonopah and Mount Charleston (southern Nevada).
ping.
Good point. =)
Ah, yes...I remember it like it was 18 years ago.
;-)
gee, I dont remember it at all.... well 18 years ago... burp...
This day in 1987, I was in Texas. As I recall, it was pretty hot.
Was this important enough to respond to?
Nope.
I know.
I'll be checking on that and will be getting right back to you on that, alrighty?
1987...hmmm...Sacramento, California with a wonderful evening breeze blowing through the house. I didn't know it at the time; but it was a breeze of change--a breeze that would turn into a tornado.
;-)
No, I was never in Souther Cal in 87, but I was in Contra Costa County during the spring. I remember it being pleasant and sunny when it wasn't raining, FWIW.
Oddly enough, I was in Tonopah when that occured.
Weather.
I depend on other people to keep track of it for me, unless a hurricane is approaching.
Keep up the good work!
June 4, 1987 - Edwin Moses, who had won a total of 122 consecutive victories in the 400-meter hurdles, was defeated by Danny Harris in Madrid, Spain. It had been ten years since Moses had lost the event.
It was a dark and stormy night.
Weather.. I don't.

Depend on others for any of that. To me its like breathing. Oh, sure, sometimes I forget to take that one breath (you know?) but it still happens.
I remember overhearing a couple of girls talking. I realized afterwards they were discussing me. One was asking what it'd be like to be with with me. The other offhandedly and dismissively said, "Oh, well, one thing for sure, you'd always know what the weather was going to be like." Lots of giggles ensued.
Not due to any hard feelings on my part, but I guess that's just one of those interests marking one as unmarriable. Its a little different to that of being a skier. See, if you get married after becoming a skier that's one thing. "Well, dear, you knew I was a skier before you married me. So I'm going to ski [fill-in-the-blank] this season" That argument doesn't hold with Wx-guys. Wx-guy spell N-E-R-D in girl's minds.
How's the corollary going to play? "Ah, dear, I'm going to fly this rickety plane into the side of a hurricane". Or, "Dear, we're going to move to where the bugs eat cats alive, and you'll feel that a high school graduate is akin to a PhD, just so that I can be close to [either tornado/hurricane] labs."
freak snow storm in somalia...first in recorded history...government wheather machine or global warming for sure. (relevance infused)
