nuranarTwo weeks ago tonight, we had a fire in the fireplace, watching one of the most significant ice storms in the last decade.
Tonight I'm not only barefooted but barelegged in my usually-chilly house, watching a truly nasty-looking mess of severe thunderstorms barrel inexorably toward us.
It's the 5th or 6th day in a row with highs in the 60s or 70s, and There are lots of yellow severe thunderstorm warning boxes up on all the counties to our southwest, west, and northwest. Latest word is some are capable of producing golf-ball-sized hail and 70+ mph winds. (The red boxes for tornado warnings are all up and over the Red River into Oklahoma, although the whole area is under a tornado watch.) It's early in the year for this sort of thing, but neither ice nor ordinary severe weather is that unusual. It's the rapid change that's noteworthy. (But also typical.)
I wonder if we'll lose power. I was going to post pictures about my Terrifying Try at Fitting Trousers, but that may not happen tonight.
It's also entirely possible we won't get a drop of rain. (We've had about 1.5" since December. That's dry.)
