The Weather Thread, It's spring! Options

[Fethenwen]

How's the weather right now where you live?

Here in Finland it SUCKS! It snowed again this morning, and now it is melting a bit. But we still have lots of it, I like snow, but this kind of snow is not nice. There's water under it, and it gathers in the streets like porridge, making my feet and pants soaking wet :(

It's spring, nature's favourite time of the year for floods northern parts of Serbia, especially arround river Danube and several other rivers, is having [SELF-CENSORSHIP]loads of trouble, because water levels are highest in 40 years - the only time we had worse floods here on Danube was back in 1965.
I can only imagine what it's like in Hungary and Romania damnit, this is the second consecutive year with floods...

[ThanadoS]

those floods come every year... i wonder why people don't invest their cash in flood protection meassures... or the states, instead of weapons, etc.
It's April anyways... and april in Austria means you can have everything: From Sunshine to thunderstorm, from hail over snow to pouring rain.

[Fethenwen]

Wow, that sounds bad.

Floods here look like small ponds compared to that.

Oklahoma=Tornado Alley=Tornado season. Coming in a few weeks.
Warming up to spring weather though

[Fuzzy Knight]

Pretty warm, sunny and some clouds here in Norways - Typical Easter weather Good for skiing and such...

[Red]

Flowers blooming, the smell of fresh spring air, warm spring air and the sun is shining. Its discusting . I'm a fan of winter and I can barely stand the heat or the terrible weather we get here during the transition.

Here in Norway, we have had good weather earlier this week...but it was not to be.,..

No today, the rain have been pouring down, and thats quite depressing, considering the fact that I was supposed to go skiing...

[Fethenwen]

Well dreams about skiing are long time over here where I live, I should go north, there's lovely weather there this time of the year.
This morning things got a bit better. The watery snow is now frozen, so my wool socks are dry today =)

You lucky mother******s ( know I'm not supposed to censor myself but it didn't change it automatically). Here in California it's just awful, spring break here is supposed to mean sunshine, beach, binge drinking, instead I've been rained in about half the week. West Marin is on the verge of a second devastating flash flood, the last one in December already took out all the businesses in certain towns, some had to close permenantly, others managed to use public donations and what savings they had to fix their stores up an reopen. Those economies are about to be devastated.

It's bad, I'll say that much. I'm from Romania and the only thing that I've heard (or seen) in the last few weeks are detailed reports of the Danube's rise. I myself have little to worry since the capital is a hundred miles from the river, but my parents live in the city of Cernavoda, which is almost on red alert. That's the place where the river starts to make its way into the sea and several large floodgates have been built, over the last decades, to protect the city from a flash-flood and to supply the nuclear power plant there with a makeshift lake.

Moist officials say that the floodgates should be strong enough, but I have my doubts. There are several other dams up the river and, so far, they haven't proved to be very effective.

My only wish is that we do not see a repeat of last year's disaster, when the Siret river burst its banks and overflowed across southern Moldova. Thiusands were left homeless, the exact number of deaths is still being debated and an entire way of life was destroyed. What worries me the most is this: if we'll have another flood, it's going to be much worse, since the Siret is a little drizzle, compoared to the Danube.

Its Autumn and I can see snow on the mountains. I can't wait, but thanks to stupid capitialism, global warming will stop enough snow building up to go snowboarding for atleast another 2 1/5 months. Weather has been sunny for the last few days, its has rained abit during the night but only a touch; it still summer weather.

Worst case scenarios are getting closer and closer - it's been one hell of a day, freezing and the rain is pouring still... I heard that Djerdap Dam on Danube is now in a state of general alert; rivers are barely being contained by sandbags... crap.

Last night, it rained non-stop here, but now the weather's sunny. I only wish it would stay that way....

[minque]

Spring here now! This weekend has been just marvellous, sunny, warm and a lot of spring-flowers are just popping out of the ground more and more every day!

[1234king]

the last few days have been sunny as hell, well except for two days ago. i was at a b-day party and we went paintballing. the wind had to be rippin like 10 MPH. the paintballs were flying everywhere. i got shot in the neck three times, but got my friend back by giving him a ginormous welt on his hip. :evilsmile:

Poor you, I was in stugudalen in the whole vacation. Sunny nice weather all the time

[bloodyfish]

There is sun in New York. I wish it was raining. Or cloudy. Its too bright. I fear for my skin and eyes.

[Tellie]

Well, what do you know, today we have actually had good weather here in this part of Norway.

lots of sun, and a comfy breeze, it doesn't get much better than this at this time of year...

[Kora]

Sunny weather in Bucharest, for a change, but the wind is still pretty chilly. So far, I've heard that about 500 people have been evacuated, were the Danube overflowed, but so far, aside from the extensive damage to property, there have been no lives lost. Thank heavens!
