Well according to my weather caster here in Lockie Land.. it is coming at me.. will be here sometime around 6 a.m. in the morning.. sigh.. I mean good grief! Can we have just a little break here in between the ice storms and the tornado touch downs.. the hail bombings.. and wind gusting? I suppose not.. sigh.. lol.. I know you are probably thinking.. stop your whining woman.. it is just mother nature changing clothes for the next season.. but I had one heck of a year for weather related stuff last year and I just wish we could have a month or so of calm and nice before we hit the big time again! Last year we had a doozy of a time of it, and I am really pretty nervous about this spring for sure. I put together a movie of what hit us last year and because I was not so knowledgeable about how these things work on the internet.. lots of folks didn't have the opportunity to see it because their computers wouldn't play it for them. Since then, I have gotten a bit more educated about things and I am posting it again. I hope it is viewable by everyone this time. Once you see it, I think you will understand why I am a wee bit nervous about it happening all over again. So in lieu of me prattling on and on.. here is the video and my current weather forecast for tonight and tomorrow.
This is the radar that is coming at me.. and more behind it..
