Tornados in Texas and Louisiana. Lightning to the south heading this way . . . when did it turn Spring?

1/18/10 fog

Really, after a loooong day, the last thing I want to do is get my camera and run back outside.

I did it anyway.

Frozen Fog 1/12/2010

Luckily, it wasn't slick.

The frost stayed until around 2pm when the sun finally came out.

The Christmas Blizzard of 2009

It sounded scary, but somehow Wichita ended up in the sweet spot of the storm.

To the South of us, inches of ice.

To the North of us, a foot of snow and high winds making drifts impossible to cross.

We got about 2 inches of snow here.

The sleet usually causes the power to be knocked out, but luckily, it stopped early.

What I hated about this storm were the winds. They sustained at 25-35mph with gusts going 45-55mph. I've been in big winds during storm season, but in the middle of winter, it plain sucks.

I went out hunting trash cans Thursday morning after the trashmen did their deed. Then chased a Christmas card nearly a block that blew out of my hand.

This is taken to the South (Where the wind is going . . . quickly).

I tried taking a couple of photos, but not being bundled up like the kid in "A Christmas Story"; I gave up snow photography.

No storms to chase . . . sniff

But Fall is in effect.

Images were uploaded backwards, and I'm lazy. Start at the bottom and work up.

Ah, caught completely unaware.

At least a buddy has his camera available.

Thanks, Brian Prime.
