I don't see much weather information lately, so I will interject according to the Thread title.

It has been absolutely perfect in Florida for a couple of months, except on the rainy days. Winter chores are getting accomplished! I discovered I can still wrangle a 28 foot extension ladder up a tree and cut off dead branches. Pretty good for 69 years old! It takes me three times as long as when I was 25 years old, but I can still do it...slowly. (A two day job took me a week and I'm very sore in my legs.) Now that the dry season is almost finished, I will resume chasing the self-propelled lawn mower around the yard in about a month.

ps, Just to seem relevant, I say the ethanol is in the unleaded gas which the lawn mower burns.

I hired someone to take a tree down on the east side of my property, it’s coming down today, when I moved in 13 years ago it was 30ft tall locust tree it’s grown since, neighbor said it was hit with lighting once. But, it’s so big now I don’t need passerby people to get killed if one of the branches came down, the wife won’t let me have another one close to my driveway cut down, but for me it’s location is just breaking the concrete threatening the new concrete I poured 3 years ago. While the guy has his boom he can at least thin it, she says its a maple but I say it’s just another tree from hell, once they get so big you can’t reach them with a normal ladder I say it’s time to go, small manageable trees are ok.

I don’t care for giant oaks or any such type unless their in the wild. We still have cold fronts windy conditions right now, rain of and on, chilly in the mornings since its desert here, I’m thinking of a low water type front yard, but have grass in the back with a fire pit. I did put in sprinklers but it make no sense using up a bunch of water when its such a dry climate. Something like this..........

Was just unseasonably cold and wet. Went outside and got hit with a few snow flakes. I am so done with all of it, weather and covid. No wonder beer, wine and liquor sales are up.

I love the stubbies in hot weather. You can drink it all before it gets warm.

So many fond memories, chicken on a stick and ice cold San Miguel, about a buck US. Really good stuff.

Tree cutters made me thirsty just watching them.

Doing another Tri-Tip tonight.

Eventually my meat market should open. On my list of things to try.

If you had the wooden case of empty bottles a fresh cold case was about $1 at the local SARISARI store.

There is a name I haven't heard in years. The SARI SARI store.

The neighbourhood super-store.

 

We just had a rather strong storm, rain, extreme winds and hail ... but the unbelievable part is that we had a tornado! ... for the first time in my life we've had a tornado here in Monterrey... which is a city surrounded by mountains!

I hope no one was seriously hurt or killed.

First, virus, now (then) ...

Unfortunately, a woman was killed when said phenomena lifted her and threw her through the air, smashing her against a hoarding banner.

Why you don't go outside during a tornado, you might lose your head.

 

Same for Utah SLC had one during an event downtown, what a weird situation to have to be in at that time.

Unusual I hadn’t seen one until then.

They come in all shapes and sizes. From small "Dust Devils" to more than a mile across with winds up to 250mph+. Some will Hop and Skip along and some will scour the earth leaving nothing but the ground up detritus of its carnage behind it.

The video clip in post #2857 I just noticed the beam of light from above, I didn’t know lighting could strike in a straight line like that, it was either from the ground to atmosphere or the other way round? Not sure what was going on, they would have to slow the video down more to see it better.

Unusual indeed.
