We're expecting somewhere around a foot of snow here or so. Then by Monday it turns into rain for a day.

No drought here but still having winter when May is coming around is a bit disconcerting.

Something feels off, has for a few months now but i can't put my finger on it.

Anyone else?

Will trade snow for tornadoes and or straight line winds!

The Earth is getting slow in its old age.

The highly diluted gas in this layer can reach 2,500 °C (4,530 °F) during the day. Even though the temperature is so high, one would not feel warm in the thermosphere, because it is so near vacuum that there is not enough contact with the few atoms of gas to transfer much heat. A normal thermometer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermometer) would read significantly below 0 °C (32 °F), because the energy lost by thermal radiation would exceed the energy acquired from the atmospheric gas by direct contact. In the anacoustic zone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anacoustic_zone) above 160 kilometres (99 mi), the density is so low that molecular interactions are too infrequent to permit the transmission of sound.

A foot of snow in late April is a sign that things clearly are not right.

Many times I've seen a foot of snow about now and it is like getting an inch and a half of rain. Snowing real good here tonight.
