It's 10:15 pm and 80 degrees still...
Bleh.


In the area where Alyssa and I live in north central Texas it's 80 right now and that's after a cooling rain.

Yeah and I think it was Wednesday when a nearly 2 Billion $$ hail storm came through the Dallas area and then I think the next day there was a small earthquake south of Dallas, maybe Cleburne.
I have thought about moving but I don't know yet.
 
Friday morning at 3 there were 2 earthquakes (I think 3.3) epicentered about 2 miles from my house. I hate that shit. Seems small unless they're right on top of you.
 
No...earthquakes are not weather....but meteorologists, especially in the military, are always asked about them. And volcanoes. "when is the volcano going to erupt?" "Are we going to get many earthquakes this year?" Dammit, I look at shit from about knee level up...any below the ground is someone else's damn job!

So...

Are we going to get many earthquakes this year?

The question I want to know is, when will the super volcano under Yellowstone Lake erupt.

Hopefully not the last week of Aug or first week of Sept when I'm there. Although when it does, we're all screwed.

Wouldn't surprise me if it erupts Dec. 23, the Maya "predicted" to be the end of the world. :roll:

I don't consider earthquakes weather since it's just the continental plates moving.

And weather is just the movement of air.

Thank you, Mr. Science. :roll:

Hey. Just saying what it is. If it didn't get colder as u went up in altitude, we wouldn't have weather either. there is no weather really in the next layer of the atmosphere (mesosphere, is that right KD? I'm a bit rusty) because it doesn't really get any cooler as you go up and we can fly planes there.

Above the tropopause (the boundary troposphere and mesosphere) the atmosphere gets much more stable. There are still some strong winds, but it's too cold for moisture, therefore no clouds...aka weather. The movement of air is caused by the movement of earth and areas of high and low pressure. Stability is, in part, to temps in creasing or decreasing with altitude, but that instability alone will not cause "bad weather".

In my 7 years of living in Western Montana I have discovered that if I don't learn to do things in bad weather (snow, rain, etc) then I would never do anything.. so I have learned to do many outdoor activities in perpetually shitty weather.

Same with Laramie. Just vecause it's thundering and lightning outside, doesn't mean you can't mow the lawn. Just because it's a whiteout blizzard that has shut down all roads coming into town, covered most roads with snow and ice, and makes visibility about 1ft in front of your face, and 4-5 feet of snow on the ground doesn't mean that school is canceled.

Laramie never had much snow when I lived there :( I think we had about a foot and a half at the most. It did hit -40 a few times, though, which made me feel at home.

Do you guys get thunder snow? It's the strangest thing ever. I'm not sure how common it is.
Oh yeah. Thunder snow doesn't happen a whole lot, but it is AWESOME when it does! Thunder+lightning+blizzard=WIN!
