MF42 0 #1 July 18, 2006 Oh thank God the cold front just hit. Wind abruptly changed direction and the temperature dropped from just under 90 to low 70s in five minutes. Feels pretty damn good, I'm tellin' ya. The weird thing: you'd expect some serious thunderstorms to accompany a front like this, and you'd be right, but the storms are all steering around my home. Step outside and I can see impressive light shows to the north and south, but it's all so far away that the thunder is inaudible. I don't recall ever seeing so much brilliant lightning, but the only noise comes from waves in the lake, wind in the trees and my neighbor's tinkling windchimes. Bizzare.

Just had the same thing happen here only it's raining now. Temp was about 29oC and then the wind picked up, black clouds rolled in and the temp dropped about 12oC in 5 mins. Very bizzare. There were tornado warnings out too. Supposed to rain tomorrow and then the temps going up again. Love Alberta weather. Don't like it -- wait 15 minutes.

sharimcm 0 #6 July 18, 2006 It's been well over 100 degrees here in Texas, and the weather people PREDICT we may have a CHANCE of rain, but it's doubtful... It's too freakin' hot!!!
