Daily weather report

Thanks, Bubba. We're fine. I live in western Wisconsin. The eastern part of the state, about 250 miles away, on Lake Michigan had some wave, wind and flood warnings. There was no major damage that I'm aware of. Some flooding in Milwaukee. And some odd rain-snow mix on the shorelines. On Tuesday it was bright and sunny here but very, very windy and much colder.

Today is cloudy and about 44 degrees F at 1:00 p.m. Pretty normal.

If I have to go through bad weather, I'd much rather have a good old midwestern tornado. It's there in a matter of seconds and over with in the same. Sitting and waiting days for a hurricane is just too stressful!

Oh, one more thing with the weather...anyone here with chronic pain have an increase (or decrease) in pain with the weather? My fibromyalgia was absolutely through the roof just before hurricane Sandy made land fall and that was at least 1000 miles away. Once it was over land I was a bit better. Even my strongest meds were not working and I almost had hubby take me to the doc for a dilaudid injection.

I've had this kind of thing happen with major storms before. Last winter we had 2 major blizzards with thunder and lightning. They came close together over a period of about 2 weeks, lasting several days each and, again, I was in unbelievable pain. Nothing seemed to help. I spent a lot of time in hot baths or on a heating pad taking many pills!

Firstly glad you missed the hurricane, secondly I suffer with change in weather pressure with my Arthritis. At the moment it's really damp and cold and is causing major pain in my joints.

As for the weather today here in Redditch it's cold with intermediate showers. It's around 4oc and feeling it! Little Amanda is in hibernation mode!

First Snowfall! I'm not sure it's cold enough to last but it is pretty. I think we have about an inch.

I hope we don't have any snow for as long as possible! I hate the stuff! It's blue skies but cold here in Redditch just gonna sit here in the warmth of my house and watch everyone freeze!! :evil:

Here in Redditch,Worcestershire,UK it is Raining,Raining.Raining & to top that off it is Freezing,Freezing,Freezing!! :dry:
