whoda thunk??

really people.. why all the hustle and bustle when a new storm blows in? this is NEW ENGLAND.. where if you dont like the weather, just wait five minutes!

it always amazes me the lines at the grocery stores.. at the gas stations.. the hoarding of supplies that goes on when it is predicted that a storm is on the way. having lived in new england all my life.. it is just common sense to ALWAYS be prepared! make sure you have enough water, batteries, etc etc blahblahblah. labor rolls around.. you put that shovel and the bag of kitty litter in the trunk "just in case" and still.. these people are scurrying like squirrels with a nut at the very LAST minute! where yall from anyways?? florida? where 2 inches of snow cripples the entire community and is call for a state of emergency? get real.. and get weatherized!!

ahh youth.. when drivin the strip on a hot summer night just to see and BE seen was whatcha did on a saturday. cars polished, engines revving.. music blaring.. and what seemed like everyone in the world lined up bumper to bumper with the tops down to catch a glint of that seea breeze and enjoy some cristy`s, joe`s playland, some fried dough, a walk under the pavilion and a spin around pirates park.

;gets nostalgic;

i`ll be up there before the end of march to get my skinny a22 into the water. join me in it maybe? we both got hella to wash off wub

Tess....That is exactly what it is like in the summer in Wasaga Beach here. It is the biggest white sand beach, overpopulated by the Torontonians (city people) in the summer time. It is a tourist town.

myLot reputation of 73/100. AnnieOakley1 (2645)   ranked 2,173 out of 32,943 in life  2 years ago

I took driving lessons IN the snow and took my test then, too. Yeah, I'm Canadian, where it is winter for half of the year, so snow is just 'normal'.

Oh gosh this brought back memories of living in Toronto! LOL Do they have snow and storms in China? For a long time I had to wonder, because man oh man, Chinatown in Toronto in a storm,or a light falling of snow, or god forbid a bit of fog and the Chinese taxi drivers were all over the road, horns honking, people getting side swiped on the sidewalk and light standards blinking fiercely in fear of their uprightness! LOL What IS it about a bit of wonderful weather that scares the bejeezuz out of people? LOL Give me a rip roaring storm any day and I'm in my element.


myLot reputation of 58/100. tessah (3120)   ranked 2,587 out of 32,943 in life  2 years ago

sundays is THE worse day to get groceries to begin with. everyone not at church on their knees, is scurrying for the last can of spam or wilted peice of produce they can get their hands on. but right before or during a storm? forget it!! the aisles are jam packed.. the check out looks like a run on a dying bank.. and everyone is OH so nasty to each other! ;shakes head; and it isnt even snow! its RAIN! its over 40 and GORGEOUS out!! i was outside early in my barefeet and pj`s feedin the cat and LOVING the wind and rain on my face! spring hath sprung!! wee!


myLot reputation of 84/100. sparkofinsanity (3868)   ranked 1,317 out of 32,943 in life  2 years ago

They say the same thing about Ontario, Canada. Just wait 5 minutes and it will change, so stop complaining about it. Geesh!

We are always prepared here on the farm. We have a generator, we have heaters that don't require hydro, we have a battery pack that is always fully charged. We keep some big containers of drinking water, and plenty of stores in the cupboards. It is a regular occurence in the winter here to get snowed in for days, so NO I don't panic at all about a storm.

The last, biggest storm we got that gave us a bit of a scare was a lightning storm 2 summers ago, when our big tree on the front lawn got zapped. The SNAP was so loud we thought the house got hit and we all jumped out of our skin. shocked

Here is a pic of right afterwards, you can see the split right down the middle. There were bits all over the road and lawn we had to clean up. And the next wind storm it fell apart completely. We now have a really big post on our lawn, with a sharp top point.


Lightning damage

Okay, so today was a day just like you were talking about. It rained last night and we have had temps at 24C recently for a few days at a time. Then, the sun came out and was shining brightly, then it SNOWED! YEP, a full blown flurry for around a half hour and now the sun us shining brightly again. How about that? lol
