KathieB Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Another mostly sunny, balmy day here in the Big Easy. Sat on the gallery and read Sarah Alexi's newest Greek Village book for a good while this afternoon. Very relaxing. Almost felt like I was in Greece. Kept one eye out for any characters from the village who might saunter by on the way to the village café. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roxxie2 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 SNOW!!!! what happened here? I think Mother Nature played an April Fool's joke on us up here! Woke up this morning to snow on the ground and cold as heck!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Overcast & gloomy with forecast of rain and already one of our Jazz Fest venues has been moved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Steady rain falling. No sign of the plumbers working on the broken sewer line. This is odd, since yesterday I saw one of the workers standing hip deep in raw sewage in the bottom of a trench. I should think a little rain water would not slow them down.

Not, it's a result of aging large brick buildings built on sandy, loamy ground. Gravity is taking its toll as the buildings settle. Last month a water line, this month a sewer line. I have cut the plumbers a little slack for not showing up, however, as there is a lightning storm in progress. I wouldn't want to be hanging around those pipes and large metal equipment either.

denkyem Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 It's snowing here! For the third time since the weekend! Big fat flakes falling steadily with about an inch accumulated so far this morning. It looks like it's January out there. I am not impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 After four straight days of glorious sunshine and clear blue skies the overcast is back, with rain due this evening; but it's supposed to be back to pretty again tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KathieB Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Anna, sun and rain is the recipe for rainbows. Did you see any? Mid-70s F here and partly sunny. L and I had dinner outside yesterday on our little gallery/porch. Soon it will be too hot to do that. Meanwhile, we're enjoying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summersethomes Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 they say it's going to snow again today, about 4 inches up north and we'll probably get a light dusting...silly me I thought it was spring :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 For some reason all our bistro chairs wound up in the garage, first when DS#3 was here & we were all working jigsaw puzzles, and then for DS#2 & wife for game nights. I think I'm going to move the chairs back and we can breakfast on the porch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here we broke a temp yesterday. Smashed it beyond recognition, I should say. The old record was 62° in 2004 and we broke that when it hit 81° yesterday, 81.9, to be precise. Now today it's only supposed to get to 72, but we're already at 73. I'll trade you for that snow. I hate the heat! Holly, you stay safe. I see some really wicked weather heading your way after it goes through Texas and Louisiana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Thanks, Roxy; sometimes the Gulf shifts the nasty weather northward before it does too much to us along the coast. I'll be interested to see what our Mobile meteorologist says about it. Breakfast on the porch was lovely this AM, but it has heated up and supper will be indoors.

rodentraiser Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Well, it looks like it's heading southeast and come to think of it, I think Kathie is going to be right in the middle of it too. This is what I saw for early next week: Well, I just checked and it's 75 inside and 69 outside. Now I'm seeing where it hit 87 yesterday. I wish they'd make up their minds, although I think 81 would be closer to the actual temp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a unique experience as you can actually ride along the rainbow's end along the side of the highway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
