buckeyefan1 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Today is yet another anniversary of one of the greatest storms to have ever impacted the U.S.: The Superstorm of 1993; officially 19 years ago from now. To this day, I still wish I was born earlier than I did to able to remember it at the very least. Being nearly 2 years old when it happened doesn't cut it lol.

dsaur Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Ahhhh he memories Today it's 75 degrees and climbing I was just putting a new stringer in on the back steps, and I was wringing wet in just a little while, and it wasn't the hit and miss drizzle that did it. It's that danged 86.6 humidity that makes the 66.9 feel like a bizillion, lol. Man, I am dreading spring and summer... much more so this year because I've already had to endure 3 1/2 months of spring/fallish/spring/summerish weather. Blahhhh and fooey!!

Uploaded with ImageShack.us I've never seen the like of it...and I've seen some stuff Only blizzard I've ever seen, and it was in Ga. Amazingly amazing. And I was hunkered down nights, in front of the wood stove with a 5 inch black and white hooked to my car battery watching Tech win the ACC. Bless you James Forrest where ever you are!! And the hanging, bent over humongous pine tree of death was leaning over the house with 70 mph gusts every two seconds, and white out conditions. Now that's being alive!!! Please, may I have another?? T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Proud to be a Nole! Sorry to all my UNC and Duke brethren im not rubbing anything in, just happy that FSU finally has a basketball team! Congrats on that! Great win and first championship. They look really strong and are for real this year. They will do some damage in the tourney. I'd also like to give a shout out to my boyz at State for doing what they needed to down the stretch to get in. Hopefully, the ACC will represent this year!

Tony I understand your pain Tony At least I haven't hit 90 yet this year like I have the past two years so that is a plus so far. Every day those 90/100 degree days stay away gives me hope that this year will be different than the past couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowless in Carrollton Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 anyone think we in GA will see another freeze ? You would think that we would have another freeze but I have a feeling we won't. Atlanta's last freeze this year was February 13th, last year it was also around February 13th. Average last freeze in Atlanta is around the end of March. I'm really not liking this global warming. Back to back record hot summers, hottest winter I ever remember, hottest March I ever remember. In 20 years, our weather will probably resemble Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsaur Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Careful out there, kiddies! I was just out working back of the house, and was standing within striking distance of a 5 foot black snake lying amongst the down and dead, before I spotted it. I was thrilled it was a black snake as they help keep the baddies at bay, but I wan't happy to see him so early, or to get so close before I spotted him. And as I am writing this I just pulled off a tick crawling on my knee. Curse you hot winter, you have made me unsafe.... curse you to heck!!! Where is my danged cold air??? I want to sled April, not look for snakes where ever I step! Hurry up Nov, you can't get here soon enough!!!! T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not looking forward to the work in the pine woods I need to do! Yeah, I've still got patches of leaves to get up from fall, and those ticks are everywhere. And I'm getting deer ticks now, and those things are so small, I'm afraid I miss them until they start to itch. I didn't think the D R O U G H T has ever left Glad that snake was a black one and not one of another color that had rattles attached Thankfully, I've only seen the one Copperhead since I've been here as far as biters go. I've seen a few scorpions, but my worst dangers in the yard are the yellow jackets, lol. Dang those things hurt. I just don't like to get surprised by the snakes. It always tickles me how I yell, "Ship", out loud and get the heeb be be, jeeb be be's, and that monster chill that twists your spine, when I look down and one is right there...eyeing me, lol. I don't mind them, and leave them alone, but that fright/flee impulse is strong. And I did flee...

I have allergies pretty bad, but benadryl takes care of it. Other medicines I've tried won't knock it out when it gets bad. I normally take a 1/2 of a pill which is strong enough to combat the symptoms, but not as overwelming with respect to making me drowsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
