Weather!

Wow! We actually got an 1&1/4inches of rain overnight! We really needed it too! More is supposed to be on the way! I can almost see the grass turning green before my eyes!

Orin, don't count on seeing too much green. Practically your whole state is in a severe drought

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!

Entire German flea circus freezes to death!

• It could have been worse

E.g., a train crash that allowed the animals to escape.

But at least they were warm and cozy.

Early this morning the temperature was -6C here, but later today it inched up to +6C. Since it has been sunny all day, there were times today when we could almost believe it was spring. Of course, the north wind was sufficiently strong and icy to remind us that today is April Fool's Day, and that the weather joke is on us!

Geez, i was enjoying a nice day of sunny 60'F weather with a little breeze, when it clouded up, thundered and lightinged, with a downpour. Now it's about 6' above freezeing, with a cold damp north-westerly icy wind. BRRRRR Well, like it's said about New England, if you don't like the weather... wait a while, it'll change. Unfortunately,,, it does that when you're haveing nice weather also.

This picture shows where you can find the temperature anomalies of March 2013. Yellow areas had "expected" temperatures. Blue areas were colder than expected, and red areas were warmer than expected.

Brrrr. It has been so very cold in so much of Europe. But it has apparently been cold in parts of the United States, too.

I dont want to leave my bed but at some point my diuretic system makes me.
I think I will hybernate, homeostasis sounds good to me at this point till it's warm enough to move around.

• Reine, reine,
  gueux éveille.
  Gomme à gaine,
  en horreur, taie.
  
  Lit-elle messe, moffette
  Satan ne te fête,
  Et digne somme coeurs et nouez.
  À longue qu'aime est-ce pailles d'Eure.
  Et ne Satan bise ailleurs
  Et ne fredonne messe. Moffette, ah, ouais!
  
  Et qui rit des curés d'Oc?
  De Meuse raines, houp! de cloques.
  De quelles loques ce turque coin.
  Et ne d'ânes ni rennes,
  Écuries des curés d'Oc.
  
  Un petit d'un petit
  S'étonne aux Halles
  Un petit d'un petit
  Ah! degrés te fallent
  Indolent qui ne sort cesse
  Indolent qui ne se mène
  Qu'importe un petit d'un petit
  Tout Gai de Reguennes.
  
  Jacques s'apprête
  Coulis de nos fête.
  Et soif que dites nos lignes.
  Et ne sauve bédouine tempo y aussi,
  Telle y que de plat terre, cligne.
  
  Pis-terre, pis-terre
  Pomme qui n'y terre
  Ah! de ouilles fenil coup ne qu'y perd
  Il peut terrine et pomme qu'y n'échelle
  Iéna équipe soeur verrou elle.
  
  L'île déjà accornée . . .
  Satinées cornée . . .
  Y dîner guérisse masse bâille . . .
  Il se taquine costumes
  Et ne poule d'août des plumes
  Et ne ses doigts des gouttes beaux émaille.

Well, let's see what the marvels of Google Translate can do...

Queen, queen,
beggar awake.
Gum sheath
in horror, pillowcase.

She read Mass Moffette
Satan will feast
Amount and worthy hearts and tie.
At long is it likes straws Eure.
Satan and kiss also
Mass and hums. Moffette, oh yeah!

And laughs priests Oc?
Meuse raines, houp! blisters.
Turkish rags of what this corner.
And donkeys or reindeer
Stables priests d'Oc.

A small a small
Surprised at the Halles
A small a small
Ah! degrees you fallent
Indolent that fate continues
Indolent can be fought
A small matter of a small
All of Reguennes Gay.

Jacques prepares
Grout of our party.
Thirst and say our lines.
Bedouin and saves them as tempo,
Such as flat land there, blinking.

Pis-earth, earth-bad
Apple no land
Ah! topped up once the barn is what loses
It can do what apple terrine and scale
Jena sister team lock it.

The island already accornée. . .
Satin cornea. . .
Y mass heal dinner yawns. . .
He teases suits
And chicken feathers in August
His fingers and drops beautiful enamel.

The beginning of Art's artful post

Reine, reine,
gueux éveille.
Gomme à gaine,
en horreur, taie.

'translates' into this English invocation/nursery ditty

Rain, rain
Go away
Come again
Another day

I haven't tried the rest, as I'm too busy watching paint dry, but this indicates that this post WAS actually on theme and, for a certain value of 'English', actually IN English
Tho I can't think of any English regional accent that would pronounce 'Another day' as 'en orer tai' - but. presumably, poetic licence is permitted.

The next is

Lit-elle messe, moffette
Satan ne te fête,
Et digne somme coeurs et nouez.
À longue qu'aime est-ce pailles d'Eure.
Et ne Satan bise ailleurs
Et ne fredonne messe. Moffette, ah, ouais!


Little Miss Moffet
sat on her tuffet
eating her curds and whey
along came a spider
who sat down beside her
and frightened Miss Moffet away

I woke up at one in the morning, just in time to experience a severe thunderstorm coming our way. By the time it passed, nearly all of the concrete surface was covered with hail. It'll be nice in the 70s today, but a larger storm will course through tomorrow. Predictions have been made that more severe weather will arrive in mid-May!

What covered the more abstract surfaces?
