Weather

Friday I fished the Gunpowder north of Baltimore (with a poor, very cold
gentleman from Alabama) in 40 degree weather, trudging through knee deep
snow.
Today, it reached 70 degrees.
Tomorrow, it drops into the 30s with 1-3 inches of snow expected.
Will the weather gods quit teasing me!!! Let Spring begin!!!
Arrrgggghhhh!!!

That's what spring is like, Frank. We keep forgetting how tricky that
goddess of weather is. Sometimes she fools us by giving us a nice
progression, but that's just to set us up for this kind of thing. If
means that spring is really around. She's just waving all seven of
her veils.

At that you're lucky. We thought yesterday was spectacular at 50s on
the thermometer. You'll be seen green foliage well before I will.

Could be worse. We could be in da Yupper.

This morning it is near 50 degrees and birds are singing, with 3-6
inches of snow this evening and a low of 11 with 50mph winds expected. I
think we should all give thanks to Canada for sending their best our
way. ;-)

Friday was hot, about 95F and at about dusk an ominous black cloud suddenly
arose from the north, looking like something from a Stephen Speilberg movie,
with the interior flashes of light and all. Within minutes, the sky was
pitch black, the lighting ripped the sky open, and the thunder exploded. For
the next hour, we had the absolutely most hellacious lighting storm I have
ever encountered, with howling winds and crashes of lightning hitting the
ground all around me. Just as the storm peaked and the lightning started to
abate, I got my foul weather gear on and went out into it to see what was
happening. Between 1/3 and 1/2 of all the trees on campus (and there are
some LARGE trees) were down or damaged, the campus road was completely
washed out, three buildings had their roofs torn off, and one particularly
large tree had fallen on a colleagues house and punched a hole the size of a
VW bus through the roof, ceiling and floor. Every road on campus was blocked
from downed trees, and the torrential rivers where the roads used to be were
almost impossible to walk on, let alone drive on. Lower campus and upper
campus were isolated from each other by at least 4 downed trees and several
downed bamboo stands. The storm also knocked out the power for several
hours, and burned out the server and almost all the workstations on campus.
Fortunately, I had the laptop at home (saw a similar storm last year fry the
servers and workstations, so I learned my lesson), so I have been unable to
get my internet fix until late last night when I managed to hack into
someones wireless connection in the neighborhood.

Springtime in Congo.

Ummm, during the power outage my freezer exfoliated the layer of ice along
the top, so now my frozen food is seized up under 2 inches of solid ice....

I don't suppose you were carrying a TV antenna or a seven iron over your
head, were you? You are, without a doubt, one crazy, lucky sumbitch, my
friend

Ahh, both of ya are little girly-men whiners. Look at the wild weather *I*
have to put up with. These tremendous swings in day to day weather aren't
all that unusual around here this time of year either, so just be thankful
you are where you are right now.
