Only in Kentucky

So, yesterday, with the temps in the mid-50s and the sun shining (a nice late March day in January), we're issued a Snow Advisory. :huh:

Low and behold, I wake up this morning and it's snowing -- and we're expecting a couple of inches.

Last month, it was in the 60s once day, and snowed the next.

Only in KY can you get all four seasons in less than 7 days. :blink:

Maryland has gone through all the seasons this winter. Yesterday, we had rain and wind, then in the afternoon it got sunny and temps went up into the 60s. Now the rain and wind are back, and this weekend, it's only going to be in the 40s. The next three days it'll be sunny, but only in the 30s.

The good thing is, no snow! If I can get through February and March with no snow or ice, the 30s won't bother me at all.

My part of Tennessee is the same way. We have a saying around here "If you don't like the weather, just wait 5 minutes."

I can remember many years ago while I was in college in West Tennessee that we had a day where it was almost 70 in the middle of winter and we were all going around the campus in our short sleeves. Of course there weren't too many TV's in the dorm rooms back then and we didn't see weather. Not that we would have watched the weather if we had a TV in our room. But anyway you usually just got up the next morning and opened your window to see what the weather was. Well that next day I woke up late and was in a hurry. I just put on the similar attire I had worn the next day and headed off to class. Well I got the biggest shock of my life when I got down to the front door and found we had gotten 8 inches of snow and it was still coming down. It was the first time in the history of the college that classes were cancelled. I think it surprised them too. All the students (except married ones) lived on campus but the teachers didn't.

We're having a similar winter here as everyone else is having. It sure makes it hard when you do get these cold spells like today because your body just isn't used to them esp. this old body. LOL

So true Matt. January in Kentucky was warm. Here in Clarkson (1 hour 15 min. southwest of Louisville, 2 hours southwest of Lexington, BTW) we had only one day in January with a high in the 30s. For the rest of the month it was very warm: 8 days in the 40's, 12 days in the 50's, 9 days in the 60's, and 1 in the 70's. February looks to be the exact opposite here.

Kentucky weather truly is like the saying "If you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes and it will change."

Being the weather buff that I am :D , a few years back I got a 'Kentucky Weather Rock' a few years back at a local craft festival. It is a piece of tree trunk with a stick coming out of it that has a rock hanging from it from a string.

According to the note taped to the stick:

If the rock is:

Warm=Sunny

Wet=Rainy

Whte=Snow

Swinging=Windy

Bouncing=Earthquake

Gone=Tornado

:lol:

The weather has been so screwed up here in Kentucky lately, that I have heard of trees budding, flowers sprouting and blooming, flies swarming around outside, people mowing their lawns, and other things along those lines.

Didn't New Orleans get hit with a tornado the other day?

Come to Kentucky then Dan! We had snow this morning, and are expecting more later in the week and again next weekend.

I am reminded of the old commerical (for margarine, perhaps?) where 'Mother Nature' was sitting outside eating something, and then she said "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature!"

Anyone remember that commerical? I think it was from the late '70's. It was on TV Land awhile back as one of their 'Retromericals'.

    • Yes. He was asleep in the living room, over in the chair that is sideways to the room, but faces it & he had one of his bad dreams in the exact same way as always & as always it woke him up. Is that a thing? Are there bad dreams that for some reason always wake you?
    • Just happy to see the Pointer Sisters getting their flowers again, thanks to GTA 6.

    • Yeah, I was fickle. I abandoned baby watch & just tried to think of really well matched pairings. Yeah, they sent Carter & Thomasina away far too soon for my way of looking at things.  I REALLY liked them & they were rare being both young & African Americans. 
    • My watching in that time period was sketchy.  After high school, I didn't have a TV.  I would watch in the dormitory common room  my first year away from home, but then after that I lived in a rental with housemates who didn't want TV.  I think I caught up on the soaps during school(univ) vacations, when visiting my sister's house.  And then many many years later on soapnet?  Not sure. I had no idea that Jeff ever tried suicide. Reading just now is the first I ever heard of that. Interesting. I will agree that Monica wanted Jeff out of the way so she could be with Rick, but she would have wanted him gone emotionally.  But I don't remember watching Jeff having any medical issues, so I don't know if she would have wanted him dead.
    • Didn't he have a nightmare last week?
    • Nothing about Joss ever works. I can't blame them for trying a completely fresh approach for her, but she needs to be written out. 
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  Some of this sounds strong but it's all so heavy and some elements, like with Felicia and Charles, almost veer on parody. L&L seemed to always be a heavy show - did they ever even have comic relief moments? - but I do wonder if it all became too much for viewers.
    • It's a joke. If there's a way to put Joss into a WSB spy story that works, I haven't seen it. What they're doing is just ridiculous. Imagine trusting a huge operation to someone who "finished training" a month ago. I think they're trying to make this work by having a college-age agent be a part of the professor's class, etc. It might look acceptable on paper, but it doesn't work when you see it.
    • Monday, after the party, Leslie showed up at the Duprees. Martin was with everyone as they listened to her for a bit. Then Martin said he was needed at home.  Anita and Vernon knew he was upset and they were concerned. Vernon asked "Do you need Titus, or are you okay to drive?"  Martin said he was okay and left to drive himself home. Either Titus is a chauffeur or just some helpful all-around employee.
    • if only Dante had admitted to hating string instruments earlier....
