COLUMBUS, Ohio - A heavy late-winter snowstorm Friday pummeled residents from Arkansas to the Great Lakes, knocking out electricity for thousands and promising to bring near-blizzard conditions to Ohio and Kentucky.

In several Florida communities, tornadoes damaged buildings and left residents without electricity. Two people died.

While the storms dumped more than a foot of snow in parts of Arkansas and left about 44,000 homes and businesses without power, people in southern Ohio and northern Kentucky were bracing for a massive snowstorm.

"It could get real nasty," said Dusty Harbage, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Jackson, Ky.

Stop teasing me, we've had several days at 38/39c (that's over 100F) and the bureau is saying it's going to be like it for another seven days and after that they don't know what's going to happen yet. It's debilitating though. And it's not summer, it's autumn.

I'm in Ohio and we have about 6 inches now with another 6 to 9 inches expected tonight. This morning we had no snow. By this afternoon we had blizzard conditions. And it's cooooold.

If microsoft ever comes up with a way to email weather Diuretic will get all the cold weather he can stand. :poke:

I haven't looked for over 12 hours, but I'm going on what I've seen so far. It's Spring, well if you like freezing, but no big snows and below zero.

I've let go of snow days. Looking for 60's soon.

[Gaffer]

We always get at least one March snow storm. Usually not this bad. My Son in law does snow removal. He's been out all day and just came home a bit ago to get dry cloths and is heading back out again. Snow is expected to continue through tomorrow and he doesn't expect to be home till Sunday.

I'm so looking forward to spring, which seems to be real slow in coming this year.

It was in the 70's yesterday. Still snowing, we'll prolly get around 4 to 6 inches.

Linux will probably be first - but I appreciate the thought :laugh2:

(I was in Toronto in January/February, I'm nicely thawed out now though :D)

This has been the longest winter since I moved to Puerto Rico and I'm loving ever day of it! Every evening around sundown the temp drops inside to the point I turn off the fan and every day I don't need to turn on the fan until around five in the afternoon... We have a wonderful sea breeze daily about 20 MPH and then at night it slows or stops... Highs in the day of 82-4F with lows at night of 66-70F... been like that since the last week of Nov...

My sons wear sweat coats to school in the morning and yesterday they came home bitching that swimming will start next week in the school outdoor pool... it's outside and they have PE during the first period...

Well here near Cincinnati we are at about a foot now. It's still snowing too! The kids and the dogs are having a blast tho.

Had to shovel the porch this morning to let the dog out. About 8 inches deep then. A couple of hours later had to shovel another foot. And it still hasn't stopped. Winters definitely getting in a last dig before spring.

Here Dad here's pics of some of the work you did this morning.


This one was after it had been shoveled 3 times and the kids playing in it as well.

BBC had a story about the cool temps and rain that you were getting, what happened??????

That's over in the eastern states, well Queensland and New South Wales really. Where I am it's the centre and south of the country. We're in a drought and have been for over a year, we have severe water restrictions, our city's parks and gardens are dying through lack of water and now we're in what the bureau says will be the longest heatwave ever recorded and it sucks.

[stephanie]

Forty above zero today..........

breaking out the shorts.....love that global warming, I mean that climate change thingy...:dance:

I was just about to leap in there too :laugh2:

In this continual heat, highly unusual for this time of year - as I mentioned - longest heatwave ever recorded - time for :cheers2:

I know you all are suffering a drought over there, but it's not like it's the first time in all your lives.......

Like I said.......us humans will adjust to CLIMATE CHANGE........or perish...

I know I had one hell of a great time on mother earth.....:cheers2:

Do you have AC or can you use a swamp cooler? Here it is too humid to use swamp coolers...

[diuretic]

Thankfully it's dry here (my state is the driest in Australia). If it was humid I would have had to take leave and go somewhere for a while :laugh2:

I've got an evaporative cooler system in the house (must be like a swamp cooler) so it's not too bad. Refrigerated ac is better of course but I don't have it. It's bearable in the house. And yes, when it is humid the cooler as useless as tits on a bull.

Apparently we're about to break records for heatwaves. I can't find it in myself to cheer :cool:

I can't find it in myself to cheer :cool:I watched a travel program about Australia and they showed several houses in the hotter areas built in caves and I thought that would be a cool alternative... I went to a solar energy course back in the 70's and they had a concept where you bury a grid of metal pipes under your lawn and then use a blower to pull air through the pipes to collect the earth cooled air for your house that results in the same cave cooling affect. I googled solar AC and came up with this link http://www.solarserver.de/solarmagazin/artikeljuni2002-e.html

Well if you can't cheer you'll have to do the next best thing, pull a chair in front of the fan and have a beer :cheers2:

Interesting stuff - jeez I wish we'd catch up.

The people living in caves - probably dugouts? They're very popular in a town called Coober Pedy but they're also used in some other areas in the outback. They're great, don't need heating or cooling.

http://www.walkabout.com.au/locations/SACooberPedy.shtmlI didn't mean to imply you guys were Geico comercial providers... The caves or mines they showed looked pretty cool and as you say are constant temps year round. The ones they showed on the show had a lot of glass at the entrance to provide the only natural light.

We have some natural caverns here in Puerto Rico and I took the family to see them a few years ago and one of the largest rooms was maybe four stories high... the temps inside were around 67F and that day the outside temperature was in the 90's.. http://www.topuertorico.org/city/camuy.shtml
