So this is the second lowest low pressure ever recorded in our area, so they say....something they are calling 'bombogenesis'. That means pain-ogenisis.

My chickens are confined to the coop tomorrow, if it stays standing. I live in a wind tunnel on a good day.

So, had to batten down the hatches....pick up anything that would sail and sit with my heating pad and pain pills....and cookies....gotta have cookies.

There is so little I like about this half of the year it is unreal.

I hate low pressure systems.

We want to be cave dwellers? Safe inside the earth [un less it rumbles?]
All I can say is that NORMALLY, I feel much better when the pressure is lo?
Except during hurricanes... which get really really low.
It's the kind of stuff that plugs up yer ears and then they run and itch and there's nothing that can stop it! Don't know about you? But at times I've got runny ears worse than runny noses!
I don't know WHAT to do about it tho? Somehow 'plugging' the orifices, seems someways very inadequate. And you still itch and run!
Hoping that nothing worse happens, got enuf on the plate as it is!
One big and special one! -j

I agree with you Cyclelops as soon as we get a low pressure system and the rain sets in I also go for extra pain meds but nothing seems to help. We have had soo much rain over here that I am really over the rain.

All we can do is try and keep smiling.:

--I've been noticing the weather reports coming out of your part of the country.

Keep those chickens cooped. Most like their poultry frying, not flying.

The chickens are cooped which means eggs will be all stomped on....however, we just had a tornado warning which is really odd for this time of year.

I am so dizzy from this I had to hang onto the walls in the shower lest I totally keel over.

This is an interesting land based mesocyclone, and yes, I am sore.

My doc told me to move southwest or at least south, but, nothing is selling.

I do well in high pressure, with sunny warm days. The gloom of Fall and Winter is staggering here, not to mention the temperature and snow. But what can you do. Starting over at this age....I dunno. I am not healthy enough to go out bopping around making friends.

Unfortunately I have to go out in this 40mph wind with 60mph gusts....this will be interesting. The grandson and myself may blow to Boston.....ok, maybe just Detroit....or Toronto.

Well, yes, it is going to be Aleve days for the next 3 I think for me too. I woke up during the night with 2 old injuries aching away! Getting the Salonpas out too for today!

Cyclelops most of the blowing in your neck of the woods, ends up in Holland Mich and Grand Rapids. They will get most of your Lake Effects, I expect.

Ah, well then Holland or Grand Rapids it is...looks like they will get some of our sand, lol....and debris....and sewage....Waves to hit 25 feet on Lake Michigan...that is pretty high!

This is an interesting weather phenomenon, other than the roaring, which gives one an idea of a how huge a hurricane is, the bands that are coming thru are kind of cool too.

It gets sunny and then rapidly turns dark and pours, then it gets sunny and the cycle starts again. It is just really windy....I understand that a storm like this sunk the Edmund Fitzgerald. "The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down of the great lake they call Gitchigume....." Strum, strum..tried to learn it on my guitar, but, alas, not musically gifted.

The power has been out twice and I am getting tired of resetting clocks....which brings to mind, "If I could turn back time....." Hum, hum.

I managed to get to PT and home safely, but alas, it was garbage day today, which made things really interesting.

Hubby had the good sense not to put ours out....Airborne trash, election signs (which this year I qualify as trash), garbage cans, rain gutters, and small animals flying by. Don't worry, no small animals were injured.

Temps are dropping now, down to the 50's. I slept thru the tornado warning....hubby told me he thought he heard sirens, I told him to go back to sleep....told him he is senile or having a medication reaction.

Oh well....still here....now where did I put that heating pad....

I'm sorry, this is a very serious weather situation - but can't help laughing at some lines of yours, cycle, and glenntaj's reply about poultry frying not flying.

We're expecting damaging winds and storms across Ohio this afternoon along with some tornado warnings. Waves out here on Lake Erie are really pumping up now.

All humor aside, hope all of us in the line of this system are okay once this is over.

Woops! Just heard weather guy say to expect 60 - 70 mph winds/very heavy downpours and power outages.

Fun and games!

There are two distinct kinds of loud noise. The one that sounds like strong winds hitting my house, (which is situated on farm fields with no windbreak for a good mile to the southwest.) It really feels like my windows will blow out, but so far, they haven't.

The other noise is like a jet engine....no changes in pitch, just a load roar, and it is the wind further away.

I can't imagine living thru a hurricane.

My power has mostly been on, but, it went out twice, and the wind is only getting worse. Everything is going on normally though. We are lucky there was no snow. My poor chickens....being locked up will likely throw them into a molt.

This is all so loud the baby won't nap. He is very grumpy, and if I put him in his crib, he wails....uff dah. This is a long day.
