How's the weather?

[AlreadyGone95]

I'm lucky that I live a few miles from the nearest creek, and that my yard drains water really fast. It'll be raining most of this week, which will add to the flooding. The temperatures will turn more wintery by the weekend, highs in the 50s, lows in the 30s. This winter is predicted to be wet and cold. The cold I can deal with, but the wet part is not good.

I want some dry weather as well!

We got a skiff of snow this morning. Just enough to stick to the roads and make them really slick! And colder-high 29 for the day!

75 F here! The weathermen lied. They said a few inches of rain this week. My uncle's rain gauge shows that nearly 2 inches has already fallen since Monday night. They're predicting another 5 inches of between today and Friday. Every creek and river in southwest/central west Georgia and southeast Alabama is in the moderate or massive flooding stage already. The rain should stop by Sunday, hopefully.

We've another storm due tomorrow but its sending a lot of rain ahead of it first!! So the floods that we have been dealing with since Dec 4th, have risen again and are now at their highest and just outside the doors of the house - hopefully we won't get the worst of the storm or the house will be flooded soon .....

Really fed up of the floods now - and just really want dry weather for a bit....

How did you survive 'Storm Frank' , Lacken? ( who named these storms - Frank sounds so innocuous and yet it caused such havoc! )

I've been wondering as well how you girls are doing. Its a bit calmer in the east but not much. At least we still have electricity. The Liffey is in full flow! I believe Gertrude hits us on Saturday. I have NEVER seen so much rain!!

We were in Howth on Monday - Soda you may remember being out here in the summer. The pier was closed off completely because the water was coming right over the wall and creating a waterfall on the far side







and the lighthouse

Well, Frank (!!) has risen the water levels again and we finally managed to get a water pump as the water was coming into the back porch. Its taking a while for the water level to go down even slightly. We'll really feel the effects of Frank today and they are worried about one area right beside the river.

Tomorrow we have storm Gertrude so my NYE will be spent watching the water

How are things with you? The West and South of us are really bad as well. Hope 2016 is a bit calmer !!

ETA - Great pictures GA!! I love walking in the wind

Cool photos GA, I love walking in the wind too but not when it literally blows you over!!!

On the one hand we're lucky 'cos we live up really high so we'll never get flooded but then on the other hand, when it freezes or snows, we're marooned for weeks!! So it's hard to know which is best but the wind is also terrfiying when you live up high. Hoepfully, you'll beat the waters, Lacken and the New Year will be better. You must be all exhausted what with the stress and trying to pump out water day after day.

Beautiful pictures, Ga! Thanks for sharing!

We are dry now for the next week, but the southern half of Missouri is about to float away! The flood gates are in in Hannibal, a nearby town. Branson and St. Louis and many other towns have many roads flooded. Even interstates! Strange for this time of year!

Wow, GA! What incredible pictures to show the force of Mother Nature. This has definitely been a wet December for us as well, although we're not experiencing the same problems that many of you are. Keep safe and dry everyone!

Finally drying out down here. Now Jack Frost is nipping at our noses. Tonight will be the first night that the temperature will dip into the 20s, and the high tomorrow is 48. After this cold spell, the weather will be about normal for winter in south Georgia, with lows in the 30s and highs in the 50s.

Hope that everyone else who has had alot of rain is now catching a break!
