Today we had a rather nasty day. It was windy. Thunder showers would blow through with wind and heavy rain. There was lots of lightning and thunder.
I was going to get groceries at 7:00 AM but it was raining. I decided to have breakfast and see if it stopped raining. Well it stopped raining so I got my groceries.
About noon there was lots of thunder and lightning and a heavy shower.
So it's been a very unpleasant day.
We are a bit dry here so some rain would be appreciated. I have some garden planted but I think it's too early as there could be frost.
Tonight it is supposed to rain and the rain will change into snow by morning so I may have some snow photos for you in the morning.
And if I'm lucky it might not snow!
I hope you are lucky and it does not snow! All that rain will at least make everything green and beautiful. We have just had a week of rain and thunderstorms with more expected next week. The sun did come out today but when I went outside the ground was so soggy my feet sunk a bit in the grass. I hope you have some sunny days soon!
ReplyDeleteWe didn't get snow last night but snow is still in the forecast.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteWe had similar weather a few weeks ago, overall this spring has been cooler, windy and a little wet. Now, we could use some rain after having some dry warmer days. Take care, enjoy your day!
Spring has definitely been up and down.
DeleteOh my goodness! It is getting very warm here.
ReplyDeleteSend some warm my way!
DeleteUgh. No snow I hope. We still have frost here too.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't get snow but it's still in the forecast.
DeleteWe've had cool and rainy weather lately, too. Last night it blew and poured enough to wake me up. I hope you don't have snow.
ReplyDeleteWe seem to have lots of wind lately.
DeleteI hope things warm up and that you get enough rain and sunshine for your garden.
ReplyDeleteThe next seven days are cool and damp.
DeleteThat lightning and that thunder! Almighty God is clearly not happy with Red Deer. There must have been a lot of sinning going on. Next there'll be a plague of locusts or it will start raining frogs. That is when you will know that The Lord is more than unhappy with you and your fellow citizens - he's livid!
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't blame you for not wanting snow. It seems WAY too late for that kind of weather! As for thunder and lightning, we're getting that here too. As you said, the garden needs the moisture, at least.
ReplyDeleteThis dull dismal weather is getting to be a drag.
DeleteWe have rain today but just a steady, quiet soaking so that's good for the yard. It is going to warm up into the 90s(F) next week and I am not ready for that! Way too early for Illinois! From heating to air conditioning in just a few days! At least no snow tho!! :)
ReplyDeleteThere have been some pretty wild wings in temperature.
DeleteI hope you don't get that snow. We had thunder and lightning two days ago. First time since last fall. What do you plant early and is it robust enough to stand cool weather?
ReplyDeletewe didn't get snow last night but it's still in the forecast.
DeleteSnow! No!
ReplyDeleteIt happens here!
DeleteSnow, nobody wants it. Hope you don't get it.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't get snow last night but it's still in the forecast.
DeleteRed, i wouldn't like a snow forecast either - not in May. If you got some, hope it was only a gone-by-9am dusting. But still :(
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the snow won't stick around long but south of here near the Montana border they are forecast to get 25 cm of snow.
DeleteUgh! Snow...good luck.
ReplyDeleteWe can handle it. Further south towards Montana they're forecasting 25 cm.
DeleteI hope you are lucky and snow bypasses you and your garden.
ReplyDeleteSo far we've missed the snow but the weather system is still hanging around.
DeleteI don't live there and I too do NOT like your weather forecast, Red. Hope the early plantings survive the forecast and that it is wrong!
ReplyDeleteSo far I don't have any early plantings. I take my bedding plants inside.
DeleteHope you're lucky!
ReplyDeleteWe could use some rain too.
ReplyDeleteYou have good reason to dislike your weather.
ReplyDeleteHope the weather calms down some.
ReplyDeleteYou could send us down some of that rain if you want to. We could use some —the magnolias aren’t blooming like they should because it’s so dry.
ReplyDeleteRain is always welcome this time of year. But to a point! We need nice weather to get outside and get some fresh air and exercise!
ReplyDeleteWhat? Snow? I had to check the date of your post. I can't believe you're still expecting rain to turn to snow. It's pretty warm over here in Hawaii, but we are expecting rain this coming week. Poor mom won't be able to get laundry done.
ReplyDeleteoh i feel for you dear Red as you find rain unpleasant and hurdle and it is because you have plenty of rains sigh ,we are starving for rain though our northern areas are lucky to have including my native town.
ReplyDeletei hope weather get nice and spring like now for you amen!
