Have friends out of Santa Rosa and it looks like they are getting hammered. Some of this moisture suppose to come up today. But it really comes in starting Sunday up here. -------------------- another long hot smoky summer coming Posts: 1105 | From: Intermountain region | Registered: Jul 2012  |  IP: Logged Kokopelli SENIOR DISCOUNT & Dispenser of Sage Advice Member # 633 posted January 05, 2023 06:52 AM                      Send some over this way !!!!!! -------------------- And lo, the Light of the Trump shown upon the Darkness and the Darkness could not comprehend it.

Tillie doesn't want to get wet. And the friggin' weeds are growing like weeds! I need to get some more Roundup! This is the kind of morning where curling up with a good book sounds like a good idea. You know, being warm and dry and you can hear the rain beating down. In this room, downstairs, it's the only one where I can hear the rain on the roof, the rest of the house I don't hear it because there's an upstairs. I just looked, it won't let up for another 2 1/2 hours. Good hunting. El Bee -------------------- EL BEE Knows It All and Done It All. Don't piss me off!

Something you have to see to believe. Seriously ......... I've counted 60 flashes in 60 seconds from my patio before. -------------------- And lo, the Light of the Trump shown upon the Darkness and the Darkness could not comprehend it.

There is nothing like AZ monsoons in Minneesota. They have cyclones though. Good hunting. El Bee -------------------- EL BEE Knows It All and Done It All. Don't piss me off!

Now, imagine if you will, the Storm Gods out of a Frank Frazetta painting getting together to try and out drink each other and do the 'one up-manship' showing off. "Hey, watch this" .......... CRASH "You call that lightening ?? .......CRASH CRASH ! "You guys are punks. THIS is lightening .... CRASH CRASH CRASH !! "Bah. Hold my Mead and watch this ...... CRASH CRASH CRASH CRASH !!!! Then, set that to Iron Butterfly's Ina-Gadda-Davida, 17 minute version, on the stereo, high volume, heavy on the bass. THAT'S an Arizona Monsoon lightening storm !!!!

AZ does not have the best sundowns. They occur in New Mexico. AZ does deserve second place, though. Your description of monsoon doesn't come close. I dunno, it's probably impossible to describe anyway. But mostly distant flashed and the sound is so delayed that you can't associate it because 3 or 4 others from different directions have covered it with flashes of their own. And no,, Tim. Whatever you got it's plain vanilla thunderstorms; no big deal. Not numerous, and you can easily count between the lightning and the thunder. The thing is, it doesn't light up the sky like in AZ, which I have to admit, the night shows in AZ must be unique; maybe comparable to Northern Lights, which I have seen in extreme northern Canada, and they also are damned near unexplainable, except to say, AWESOME. Anyway, good hunting. El Bee -------------------- EL BEE Knows It All and Done It All. Don't piss me off!

Maybe so .....maybe no. But ...... N.M. being to our East, when the sun sets in the West what N.M. is seeing is the sun setting over Arizona. Clearly N.M. is getting second hand sunsets. Nice to look at but just not original. -------------------- And lo, the Light of the Trump shown upon the Darkness and the Darkness could not comprehend it.

All of your rain came in night fore last and it wasn't the wet fall down. kind. We got about 4" of that white stuff yesterday. Took over 2 hours of plowing to get the place cleaned out. More coming in starting tomorrow. Weather peeps can't get this area even close to right. They always say maybe a half inch or less. We've been hit the hardest this year for snow and cold. Have had snow on the ground since first of November and it isn't going anywhere until March. We get some warm temps but it's never long enough to melt and do any good. We have ice under all this snow right now. My tractor does a lot of sideways sliding while trying to plow. Our game animals are going to take a big crash again just when we were getting some nice bucks coming back. -------------------- another long hot smoky summer coming Posts: 1105 | From: Intermountain region | Registered: Jul 2012  |  IP: Logged NVWalt Does not claim to be overly bright! Member # 375 posted January 08, 2023 05:56 AM                   Just read this thread and couldn't help but to think that every sunset and every sunrise you see is the best there is in all of Gods green and blue earth. Well, so much for being a soapbox preacher eh! And the thunder storms here in Tennessee are pretty neat also.And rain!!! It does that when it does like 1-5 inches in an hour. 1 more or less the norm with up to 2 on a good one and then the now and then ones between 2-3 and a couple years ago a good 5 incher here. Washed out a lot of driveways and did what they call ponding here which must be southern for flooding. I know our creek on the property got a good foot or more over the banks. And that's about it from here. -------------------- Support Communism and help destroy the United States of America ! VOTE DEMOCRAT. "In the end, they aren't coming after me.
