Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Pond Boss About the weather

Power outages (3 days estimated) in our area.

The lights were flickering quite a bit at work this morning when the storm passed thru. I hit "save" quite often when that happens!

They blew it on the 80% rain thing for today tho. Only a bit in the morning.

This is so depressing...I don't know how you guys deal with it.

Let me suggest some therapy that may help a little...tune into the Masters on the Golf Channel or wherever you can get it, fix a nice cocktail and kick up your feet and imagine you're down here watching the practice rounds.

86 degrees in Augusta right now and not a cloud in the sky. 78 here in the low country and it has been hard to be inside and work.

Great idea with the cocktail and the Masters. With the NCAA tourney now over, I need something.

Man u guys got hammered and not in the good way!

We had a record low high temperature for today. The coldest high temperature for this date in Oklahoma City is 45 degrees. We only hit 37 today. Tonight, we're supposed to eclipse our record low of 29 degrees by two degrees. Everything from Oklahoma City going west is iced over with lots of damage to trees and power lines..... And according to the meteorologist, we could see freezing temperatures late next week!

Know some wheat farmers down there, not good for wheat!

Had another 1/2" of rain... pond overfull and moving like a slow whirlpool due to flow-through. The real problem is the latest batch rain that froze over everything!

We have had 1.65" of rain on already saturated ground, and now expecting another 2-3" of wet stuff tonight and tomorrow. Water was already 1.5" over full pool. Just craploads of water going in.

But it BEATS SNOW ANY DAY OF THE WEEK! :-P d-:

1 3/8" rain last night, another 1/2" late today. With that 1 3/8" the pond rose 1".........

Trying out DropBox for the first time...

Shoot, embedded images not working

Does anyone know how to link to Dropbox images once you have copied the link?

Woot! Better than a sharp stick in the eye! Supposed to be a few more storms lined up for you guys, so crossing my fingers the next one will "stick" for you.

You're right. The ground was so dry that there weren't any puddles, it all soaked in.

It's wet and green here. I shut down the well that feeds the trout pond about 3 A.M. last night it was raining so hard. Normally it has two outlets but I've got one blocked up to fill the big pond only.

Third April in a row for damage...Tornado's yesterday and 2011..major hail damage last year. Replacing vehicle glass may become part of my oil changes soon...lol

I was wondering how the people in Misery fared when I saw the weather reports.

Rex, I think they make buildings that are called garages....

April 11 - Spring 2013

Dwight,that is a beautiful picture but I don't envy you. We had one day of spring,then high eighties and record of 91 on Wed. but I will take ours over yours anytime. There will be a lot of people going to bed in a cold,dark house. Hope it is not you and yours. Winter can be verrrrrry loooooong.

We have it a lot better than many that are only a few miles away. One of my IT guys has had no power since Tuesday night! Our power provider has most everything underground so we rarely have a power issue.

There is one small town that expects to be without power for 2 weeks.

A lot more trees and limbs hit the ground after that photo.

I might buy a pair of snowshoes and march south.

It's snowing here today, but not that bad!

Still miserable tho.

I was the Sporting Clays range today for their bunny shoot. Started shooting around 8:15 and finished by 9:30. Drizzle, rain, sleet and some snow, all before we finished. As I was driving home, the sleet was so heavy that it was starting to accumulate on the highway. Car thermometer said 34°F at 10:00 EST.

Supposed to be 71°F tomorrow, then back down. Rain next week, 2" or so. We need it!!!

In coming storm...---...

Are you sure you can live through another one this year? Water temperature went from 53-72 in 7 days. Heat cooked all of the Jap. cherry tree blooms in three days. They usually last about 10 days. you will probably have one day of spring(we did), then it will be the middle of the summer. Good luck.

The weather pattern that is shaping up here doesn't bode will for water this year. There's rain 30 miles North, and 60 miles South and we are sitting here bone dry.

Supposed to be in the upper 70's on Thursday with storms, and a high in the low to mid 40's on Friday with snow flurries. Good tornado weather.....

Dwight, I'd put the chains back on the Mule!

Pretty soggy up here. Really decent thunder storm rolling in right now.

Been driving to GR the past couple days and everything is pretty much flooded.

What surprised me, is driving down a stretch of road, which is lined with evergreen nurseries and blueberry farms. The fields all have standing water, for miles. This area is all sand!

Driving just east of GVSU, there are two man made lakes with HOA's. Pretty expensive houses here. The Grand River crested over into both of these lakes.

Just guessing right now, but I'll bet that their docks on the lakes are a good 10+ feet under right now, maybe more. One house don't have much more to go before the water is inside. Sure hope they don't have a basement!
