Christmas Day - SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK IMMINENT

Dec 1989 our pipes busted and we had major damage to my parents home. I was 13 and we had snow on ground for days

Yes, I remembered this day...
I was backing my VW Bug on the driveway to go to work. I then put my brakes on my car before getting to the street.
Holy moly, my VW slid off the driveway. :o
After my Bug stopped sliding around abit and my panic attack eased, I just simply drove it back onto my driveway and went inside into my jammies watching the local news giddy about the weather all morning.

Oh wow..did not realize that was a whopping 1060mb high.

After being warmer with a chance of rain for this weekend, things look to be overall quiet with no real cold weather returning till right around Christmas.

Damn. Y'all were 13 in 1989? Ouch. I was in my first year of law school, was thrilled that my criminal law exam was postponed and spent the day drinking and watching people slide around on the ice. I would love a repeat of 1989.

I enjoyed a new sprinkler system.... in my garage that year! I went and got an electrician friend of mine who had a portable band saw, we went shopping for the piping and connectors, and beer, and cut out the offending pipe and spliced in the repair and stayed warm with the ice-cold beer! :-)

My parents lost a couple of citrus trees and several palm trees. I had a Chinese Tallow tree that froze back and took two _years_ to come back. What a mess.

No snow for me, please!

That arctic dive from Canada in the Euro is incredible. The brunt stays in the northeast U.S., but we still get a straight shot from the North Pole. This is three days before Christmas.
