Chilly, windy,  gloomy day in northeast Illinois today... Few rain drops now and then. My wife loves this kind of weather. I can live without it  . Good day to spend inside. Keep forgetting how close we are to the end of the year already...

Cute pic.  I would love any rain, snow , what ever.  Have to agree with your wife.  I love that type of day , fireplace going , a movie , beer , popcorn, and just relax and enjoy the loved ones.     Sweet, maybe enjoy mamma.

Yesterday was a day to behold.  This morning in our local paper it had a picture of 4 semi trailers laying down on there sides in a row they looked like domino's wind gusts of 81 mph.  Falling trees, rocks, etc.in the Hills. 

This was a bad hair day for alot of people , and I bet that many have turned SLY today.

Today in the city as I was driving home (takes me about an hour to drive from work to home) it was pouring rain so hard that my clothes were soaked by the time I ran from my car into the gas station which was about 20' away. Then on the highway, it was still pouring rain but with very strong winds. By the time I got about half way home, the rain was gone but the wind was still going strong. By the time I got home, no sign of rain but with nasty wind. As I sit here typing, I can't hear the TV because the rain followed me home and is deafening but amazingly peaceful. They say we might get snow this week out here in the sticks, I am rather excited

 By the way theman, I am glad you decided to stay

It's a magnificent fall day here - very sunny and mild.

For anyone who is interested, the earth will be moving through the remnants of the tail of Halley's Comet tonight, so we'll be able to see a huge meteor shower - something like 25 to 30 an hour.  Best time is between midnight and 6:00AM.

I heard about that but forgot about it.  Thanks, yes indeed it is a beautiful fall day here also.  It is up to 76 with a slight breeze and and the sun is shinning. 

Thanks again.

What a beautiful night at least here.  Gonna have a Toddy and watch the M. Showers tonight !

I have some exciting (to me) weather news today. I was at work all day and the rain was the huge drops that almost hurt because they hit with such force. But today once I got past the city and highway and the town, I started to smell a great smell in the air and feel a great feeling in the crispness of the air. As soon as I got past the 'snow belt' that is about 1/2 mile south of us, I saw it! Falling in huge flakes, gently floating down and coating the ground quickly was the snow. It lasted for about an hour after I got home and coated the ground lightly but I watched it the whole time. I will be going to bed content, even though it will be melted by morning

With all due respect to snow lovers, as far as I am concerned snow is a four letter word, if you catch my drift.

I got a year older yesterday, and I had prayed for snow on the day.  The Lord was great , it did it all day.  We only have 1" today , and is cold but beautiful.

Sorry Tom,  I will take what you don't want !

Figured I'd post here. It started snowing last night when I was at work. By 9 pm we had enough to make a mini snowman and have a snowball fight in the parking lot. All the way home I was driving around 50 since it was coming down so hard and it seems like everyone that sped past ended up spinning out. I just got up and it is still snowing, looks like we have about 4 inches.
 I said I wanted it to snow, I just didn't think it would snow so much. I should have listened to the voice in my head that told me to put snow tires on over the weekend

Thanks Mike ,

Today it is 30 degrees here and thick fog, gentle mist.  We are suppose to get some of the white stuff, starting to night and all day tomorrow.  Sure hope we do and it is really wet.  And stays long enough to sink into the ground.  The ground is so hard here that it will take alot to sink in.  Fire danger is still high.
North Dakota has storm warnings out.  We also will be getting a strong wind.

Sounds like you have a good snow going there Mike.  Be safe the way some of these people drive you are taking your life in your hands.  They are crazy.

But I agree , all trees,and bush's , had frost on them and it really is pretty.  Winter wonderland !  LOL

I always find it interesting comparing with you guys on on the other side of the planet, It's a nice sunny 18oC here (~65oF). Tomorrow is going to be 26 (~79) and my friends and I are planing to hit up the beach, so it should be good weather for it.
