March 2010- In Like A Lamb, Out Like A Lion?

[Ptarmigan]

I still think we could get some storms, not severe though.

[wxdata]

New storms firing along the i-35 corridor between San Antonio and Austin.

[Ptarmigan]

that line spit out an outflow moving more south than east....probably wont hold together though....we are capped.

The cockroach cap.

New storms firing along the i-35 corridor between San Antonio and Austin.

Hmmmm, I wonder if any of these storms could arrive here. If so, I am guessing probably around 4 to 5 AM.

Strong storms move into San Antonio:

Heard the storms go by overnight. Had to get up to shut the window. Only 0.41" rain in Westbury.

[Ptarmigan]

Before I went to bed, it was raining lightly. I did not hear any thunder last night.

Houston and Baytown received decent severe thunderstorm this morning, in the form of a bow echo, that came in from between 4:35-4:40 a.m this morning and lasted until 4:45 a.m this morning. It brought a good deal of wind, rain, lightning and thunder. One thing that noticed about this severe weather event was that a majority of the severe thunderstorms had very long since Texas and were already in Alabama and Mississippi by the time some people in southeast Texas were getting their turn. Wow! They certainly moved through fast during the late night and early morning hours. Now, everyone gets to relish a gorgeous early spring day.

Interesting. I heard nothing and I always wake up to a clap of thunder at night. Sounded like a short storm.

I began to watch the secondary line early this morning. There was even a tornado warning issued for areas east of San Antonio early this morning. Rain pelting against my window this morning was my announcement of frontal passage.

Signs? Several snails have crawled up the outside wall by several feet. Do they know something we don't?

I think animals can sense weather change.

It was a very short storm, Ptarmigan. It only lasted for a good ten minutes, if even that long. Some of those severe thunderstorms last night and very early this morning were traveling through the state at a good forty to fifty m.p.h.

Yes, they can. Animals are like living barometers. For example, when frogs sense rain loming they begin to sing, by ribbiting.

[sleetstorm]

You can estimate the current temperature as far as how cold, cool, warm, and hot that the air is by listening to a cricket's or a katydid's stridulation. The warmer that air is the faster they sing. The cooler the air is the slower they stridulate.

I hear frog croaking at night usually in the summer. Signs it is summer.

March is going out just as it began, like a lamb. Now April, that may be a totally different story. I am thankful the long winter weather is finally over and our tropical plants that looked like toast are showing signs of a come back! Bring on the pool weather.

[ai9d]

How long of a winter did you have? I went from Feb 5 to Feb 27 with a white yard...finally saw the top of the grass on the 28th. I wish I could have shipped 2 major snowstorms south to you'all down there but couldn't get them to swing south at all. Today it was a beautiful 75 degrees, dropped the windows, opened the moon roof, and went for a nice drive this afternoon...and srainhoutx, bring on the pool weather we're all ready for it.
