In upstate South Carolina last Friday (Jan 31) it snowed. Maybe a half inch and it was gone by Saturday.

On Monday (Feb 3) it was over 70 degrees F.

On Thursday (Feb 6) it rained here more in 24 hrs than it has in decades, rivers overflowed, bridges were washed away in places and houses/businesses were flooded that had never seen flooding in my lifetime.

Today (Feb 8) it snowed again, about 3 inches.

I wonder what Monday will be like?

I had to suck up 35 gallons of rainwater from my basement on Thursday. Today we got at least two inches of snow, which is mostly melted.

Here is a local flea market venue on Thursday:




The same flea market today:



Oh and i forgot to mention, we had tornados Thursday too.

Wow, check this out:

the storm brought massive gusts that hit 150 mph at the northern Welsh village of Aberdaron and 86 mph at the Welsh town of Capel Curig. A British Airways plane is thought to have made the fastest ever flight by a conventional airliner from New York to London.

The fierce winds propelled a Boeing 747-436 to make the 3,500-mile transatlantic journey from New York to London in just 4 hours and 56 minutes, landing 102 minutes early and reaching a top speed of 825 mph, according to flight tracking website Flightradar24. Two Virgin Airlines flights also roared across the Atlantic, with all three smashing the previous subsonic New York-to-London record of 5 hours and 13 minutes, Flightradar24 reported.

wow, y'all got hit worse there than we did here in the mountains, but we have more on the way, we'll have to see what shakes out.

yup it's a bit breezy here too, but nowhere near what it has been in the UK, average is 54km/h (32mph) with gusts up to 110km/h (70mph) which is quite windy for here. local council has advised not to park near trees.

My son has literally just sent a pic of his apple tree that blew down last night, it was an old one and the apples were great but the trunk was hollow looking at the pic

Here in the Vale of Evesham, one of the most sheltered areas of England, it was rather breezy. Lot power a couple of times during the day. The dogs looked out of the door thought 'bollocks to that!' and went back to various sofas.

No extreme weather down here in Miami recently unless you count the ONE DAY where the temp got down to about 38 degrees F.

Currently flooding in Oz, at least the fires are out and the dams are full. Into our second week of rain, our lawn is mush and all of my garden mulch is mostly out in the street. Sydney copping the worst of it but no doubt our turn soon enough.
