Alabama Mike pointed out to me that today is the 15 year anniversary of the Blizzard of 1993. At that time, I lived in Conyers, Georgia, and I remember that blizzard as the last time I saw real snow... well, except for that time I stayed in Salt Lake City, UT, for a conference, but it wasn't snowing there, it was melting, big difference. During the blizzard of 93, it was snowing! I have (somewhere, I wasn't able to put my hands on it) a picture of my mother holding up the snow covered dafodils that had bloomed just before the blizzard. The yard is covered in a thick layer of snow in the shot. Man, I wish I could have found the picture, it would have been a great one to share today. I will link to James Spann's site though, where Mike's video of the blizzard is embedded. I think I will go ahead and embed it too... I'm sure Mike won't mind.
I have no snow pics of my own to pull from... how insane is that?! Instead, I decided to post something springy to brighten my blog up some today, especially since... oh wait, when I went to NY last March, I saw snow... let me find that pic. Ahh yes... this is a sheltered life pic... I really need to get out and see some real snow one of these days.Well, onto other stuff. I got an email from Janice H. out of Sarasota, FL, who told me that my blog is useful in letting her know about weather where her mom is,
up in my neck of the woods, and apparently, my blog has been inspirational for her in the fact that she is now taking pictures of clouds traveling up the road. Janice took this pic on Friday while she was passing through Ocala, FL, during all that weather. The good news is that it appears the photo was taken from the passenger seat, so she is not following my lead in being crazy and taking pics while driving. Great statocumulus, Janice!
I have an updated list of searches that people have used to find my blog. These are the ones that amused me the most. Seeking out the Dew...
Anyways, still no exciting weather around here, so that's it for today. I could write about the flooding and wind in New England or the European storm that was comparable to a hurricane... but nah...
1. Women on death row show (I am embarrassed that this search actually turned up my blog.)
2. Is there always a calm before a tornado? (not always, but there certainly can be.)
3. Where to seek shelter from a tornado in Macon Georgia (Tornado shelters in Macon Georgia...???? Raised eyebrow award...)
4. blog dew storm (hey, you think they might have been looking for me? lol)
5. trip of a weather balloon (I would love to go radiosonde hunting one day.)
6. History on wildfire smoke chasers (wildfire smoke chasers? Alrighty then.)
7. How to become a storm chaser (People are looking at my blog to learn that?!Awesomeness!)I found this shirt online and it made me laugh, so I thought I would share with all the bloggers out there...
Toodles,
