Dave, have you reached a decision about relocating to the Falklands?
Yes; I should have moved there in 2005 and opened a penguin farm instead of joining the rat race.

Today is the day I close my severe weather monitoring tabs for the season. For some reason Veteran's/Armistice/Remembrance Day has been a popular choice for the last big severe weather outbreak of the year, but you almost never see such things afterwards.

But what about...BLIZZARDS?!

(I get what you mean, though. I was just thinking about the Veterans' Day tornados we had several years ago here in Ohio. That was very late in the season, for sure, and I can't recall anything past that. I'm pretty aware of the weather this time of year because it's almost my birthday and it just sticks in my head.*)




*It's usually shitty weather, in case you're wondering.

We are getting unexpectedly ice-pelleted as I speak, and I blame this comment.

Edit: It's more like slow-falling hail. I've never seen stuff like this before.

You're welcome. Just keep it up there. We're not due for any such nonsense till Sunday.

It's crazy; it's like little balls of styrofoam falling from the sky and bouncing around. I guess you'd have to call it hail, but the stones are light and it's happening without a storm.

I've experienced that before! I don't know the proper term for it, but they're tiny ice pellets, smaller than BBs. It's so weird!

I think so; that's the obscure term I was trying to remember but couldn't. Some of the "stones" were actually quite large (yet soft), and the pictures look right.

Ooo, that happened here once. The only time there was something at all similar to snow on my street.

The temperature here is supposed to remain below freezing all day today. If that and the rest of the 10-day forecast holds up, it will be the only such day in December 2021.

Is that normal for your area?

Also - tomorrow is 5 seconds longer than a normal day? What does that mean?

You didn't know about the different time system we have in the US?

So I guess it's time for you guys to set your clocks back five seconds?

It’s not unheard of, but no, not normal either. December is usually a snowy month, at least by the end.

5 seconds more daylight. ;) Such as it is with all the cloud cover.

I see that a good chunk of Michigan is further north than Ottawa. Is that the part where you are?

We won't be going above freezing for the rest of the month, and we've got a good few cm of snow on the ground.
