I don't think there is a specific thread for weird weather and I come across enough articles, so I am starting a thread. Yesterday, southern Alberta was hit with a blizzard. There are still power outages today. Highways were closed, and no one was ready for a blizzard as they should still be harvesting down there as they are still harvesting around where I live. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/power-southern-ab-1.4318810Maybe I should think about getting my winter tires on sooner, rather than later. 🙃 Whenever I see early blizzards, I think about the Little House on the Prairie book, The Long Winter where there was many consecutive blizzards. |

Checked the weather forecast for Lethbridge, which was hit by the snow blizzard yesterday. On Friday, it will be 68 there. Talk about a difference. Lol

Awesome. Thanks for this thread Sawdy. I enjoy being able to keep track of the extreme weather events on top of the EQs, flooding and receding of oceans and rivers etc all in one place.
Especially since we can also look at the events with eyes also on the end times and how they all relate.

The crazy weather several years ago is what got my attention to end times things. Seems like everything was "record breaking." And it hasn't stopped. Here in Central IL, we had record heat in September. It broke records set in the 1930s.

I agree that the weather has been weird again lately. Where I live, it was bitter cold, followed by unseasonably warm (I put away my winter boots for a week), followed by a deep cold spell and now it is unseasonably warm again. Apparently at the end of the week it is to straighten out for us. I have been finding weather very interesting lately. |

Definitely been a weird weather season for us here in SE Texas. First hurricane Harvey wrecked our area with Biblical floods and destruction. The storm took such an odd and peculiar path in the Gulf of Mexico and as well as once it came ashore and onto land.
And now just a few weeks later, my city gets snow. Not once, but twice in less than a month.
For context I have lived here my entire life here and I have only seen snow a few times here and I am almost 40. Getting snow once is like a minor miracle...twice is hard to fathom.

Soup, I can give a hardy amen. I went to HS in Pearland. Lived there from 1975 - 81 and saw snow, maybe a couple times...like a dusting. I think you guys had a snow event in Houston last year as well. I still talk to a HS chum who stayed in Pearland, occasionally. It's so funny how 1/2" of snow completely shuts down Houston. I'm expecting to move 14 - 16" by this evening.  We just roll through it up here, but this event might be special. I may even need to break out the generator, which I haven't started for 2 years. Uh oh. |

Howdy fitz and @soup2345 - I agree that Texas has been unusually cold this year! We've lived in Houston and San Antonio - now in Dallas. The last few years I rarely needed a coat but this year has been extremely cold. Reminds me of the years I lived up in Chicago! |

All I can say is we're only 10 days into 2018 and we've had a record breaking bomb cyclone tear up the east coast. California has had some big quakes, but even more so record rain and flooding with mudslides killing many and the death toll rising. A flu epidemic that is increasing. On the other side of the world we have typhoons tearing up Southeast Asia. Freak snowstorms affecting thousands and killing over 21. Australia is having record breaking heat at 47.8 Celsius (over 118 Fahrenheit) with out of control bush fires destroying homes and a death toll. Disease epidemics and famines the are shattering records in Africa. Poland is experiencing warm weather causing flowers to bloom on the middle of winter.
Needless to say, God is making it full well known of His soon appearing. We need not fear, but hold onto what remains and stand in amazement of the times we are living in with joy and hope of the our returning King! Amen!

Michigan is where I live and it is known for its fluctuating whether. Today was 57 degrees, which is really really warm for this time of year.
Tomorrow the temp by midday will be at 17 degrees and continue to drop throughout the night. Nothing like a 40 degree drop in temp in less than 24 hours 😜

Please pray for me that my car will start in the morning. It is in my unheated garage but I didn't venture outside today to plug it in. It will be -58F (-50) with the wind chill in the morning. Funnily, by Saturday, the day after tomorrow, we are supposed to see a high of 26F (-3). (I had to look up the Fahrenheit for all of you as I only know Celsius)
I would put off going into work until Saturday but we are having a Visioning workshop at my church on Saturday so I need to be part of it and can't just be in the office. Also, my kids have skating lessons that aren't cancelled although every other club has cancelled morning activities and school is also cancelled. So it will be a challenge to get out of bed at 5am to face that bitter cold.
