Hey ma...what does it mean up there when they have a "non precipitation" weather warning?

[GodBlessUSA]

oops no shadow. I made a mistake earlier. This is good. I don't remember an early spring yet. Yay!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hmmmmmmm......don't think I've heard that one before....."beware...there will be no rain or snow in the immediate forecast". LOL! Does that fit the bill? Man....huge gusts of wind outside my window! And look at the temperature....in February!!!

[Soaring Feather]

Whoa, Ma, the glaciers are melting with those temps. It's colder where I live!

[Kathy in Alaska]

I just got up.....the wind is blowing like crazy and IT IS ALMOST 50 DEGREES....I can see a spot on the driveway that is melted down to the driveway surface.

WE ARE HAVING A CHINOOK!!

Chinook A type of foehn wind. Refers to the warm downslope wind in the Rocky Mountains that may occur after an intense cold spell when the temperature could rise by 20 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit in a matter of minutes. Also known as the Snow Eater. (Weather Channel Glossary)

Williwaw A sudden blast of wind descending from a mountainous coast to the sea, in the Strait of Magellan or the Aleutian Islands.

Ma, I think your Chinook is moving that cold air from Alaska right down on top of us. Next week our temps are suppose to be only in the 20s.....during the day! Nights.....brrrrrrr.......makes me cold just thinking about it.


If this keeps up, you and I will have to switch states during the "so-called winter." LOL

[beachn4fun]

LOL

Ma, I love that car full of people

(however, I would NOT want to be in it...hehe)

[Tanniker Smith]

You seem to like this one, huh?

[Tanniker Smith]

You mean "Staff Sgt. Dave Kearns".

"Do you have a shorter name than that?"
"Staff Sergeant."

[Tanniker Smith]

You know, I'd never have thought in a million years that a MATH teacher could rhyme!

Not only that, I've had stuff published: a short story in a gaming magazine and a humor piece in MAD. (No poetry though.)

[beachn4fun]

LOL

That's the one.

I have to admit I really didn't like the movie all that much. But, his was probably one of the best parts.

[beachn4fun]

You series? Don't forget....I have a BS meter.
