This year is going to be a very tornadic year.

Im expecting to see at least one tornado up here in Western Pennsylvania near me. Im actually expecting 1985 to happen all over again. The fact that we have tree with leaves already coming and its only middle March, is very bad especially since most of our snow normally came in March-April the last few years. Tomorrow its projected to break the all time record for hotest day at over 80 degrees.

If you dont know anything about the 1985 tornado outbreak, 43 tornados (ranging from F0 to F5, 21 being F3 or higher) touched down in Eastern Ohio, PA, New York and Ontario Canada killing almost 100 people. It was the 3rd most costly outbreak in US history. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985_United_States_%E2%80%93_Canadian_tornado_outbreak If you look on the map, there is an F2 and F3 tornado at the very bottom. Officially it was two tornados, but it was the same cell that formed them. Right as it touched down as the F3, is only 1 mile up the road from me. It proceed to come to my house and passed to the south by about 1000 yards.

My Dad was the fire chief of the local fire department and ended up having to do all the paperwork and everything else for the entire path of the tornado. He still really cant talk about it.

 So far this month, the US has set over 1,700 daily high temperature records, and over 500 here in Canada.Strange weather, we had 2 tornado alerts here last week, Monday and Thursday; this winter the lakes didn't freeze, i didn't see ice floating on Detroit River, my new snow blower is still in garaje in box since december.
The Jet Stream looks weird looping all the way to Mexico  and a long front storm/tornado and heavy rain from Canada to Mexico;

When I read the title of the thread and saw that you posted it I expected to see such picture from the air. Glad I was wrong.

Did you notice that the front just kind of stopped overnight before moving on?  Not that I'm complaining.  The weeds that the drought last year left in lieu of grass will be really green for a month or two.

In San Angelo, it rained HARD for about 4 minutes with about 45 seconds of pea sized hail, and that was it for the day.  Of course it had to be when I was at the drive thru at Arby's with my window down.  :bhead

We had lots of rain yesterday. On the way home as I got close I noted several large trees down with root balls in the air. In the space of 50 yards they were in opposite directions. In my neighborhood there were limbs all over. One of my trees in the front yard shed 3 large limbs. One 12 footer was on the roof of my house and one about 14 foot was in the back yard. Small limbs all over the place.

It's only march... This summer is going to be either really really dry or really really wet...

My niece got hurt in the storms.  From what I've gathered, the travel trailer they were staying in (and yes, I asked them why the were in the stupid thing during that storm) got hit by very strong winds.  She got pinned by it and nearly severed her legs...  I think she's going to be in the hospital for a little bit but is to make a full recovery.

Michigan weather has been crazy too. No snow for Christmas and only a light dusting in Jan. We had 2 snow storms where I live within a day or two of each other and that was about 3 weeks ago. We had a tornadoe watch during a storm last week and one developed about 20 miles from me. I agree with everyone that says its gonna be either really hot or really bad storms this spring and summer.

I heard a lot of predictions about a wet spring a few months ago.  It's still March.
