May 7, 2010: Storms today – Alaska soon – Europe for summer!
Well, it is almost my birthday and that means thunderstorms! Usually. No different this year. Severe thunderstorms are likely today across our region – not a huge outbreak, but a line of storms. Expect gusty winds and some high winds.
Dry tomorrow and most of Sunday. Heavy rain possible Sunday night into next week. On and off chances – won’t rain all the time. We don’t need any rain.
The region is still cleaning up from a huge flood over the last few weeks. Parts of Kentucky and Tennessee will likely have damage in the BILLIONS of dollars. Terrible flood.
We will be leaving for Alaska in a few weeks. Taking my mother – we are going with Jason and Jess. Should be a nice trip. Hope the weather is okay. Prob be some cool nights and warm days.
We are going to Stockholm, Sweden in July – then Berlin at the end of July and first part of August. Going to explore and see what we can discover over there! No real plans – just go and explore. Hopefully the volcano won’t blow up. 🙂 Airlines don’t mix well with volcanic ash. (I had to bring science in there somewhere)
We are going to try something different – in Sweden at least – renting an apartment instead of staying at a hotel. Julie got us hooked on www.homeaway.com 🙂 Will give it a try and see what happens. An adventure I am sure!!!!
Need to figure out when we can make it up to Canada to visit Doug and others. Maybe later in the summer or fall.
Art Appreciation class will start in a few weeks – meteorology classes start next week. Signed up for another class in the fall. That will leave me just two classes away from the Bachelors Degree in Geo-Science. 🙂
So – some busy weeks ahead of us. Hopefully we don’t get too much severe weather in the coming weeks. Would be nice just to slide into summer without a huge severe weather event. Will just have to see how it goes.
