| Hi Everyone,
Between Tuesday morning in the early AM hours and lat this morning
we've had just over 12inches of rain here in Austin Minnesota and in
the area just to the north of us that is drained by the Cedar River,
and it's tributaries. Luckily we live on the high side of town, but
all of the low lying areas along the Cedar River and both Dobbin's
Creek and Turtle Creek are flooded, including the downtown area, and
the Cedar was 14 feet above flood stage as of 6 PM and it is still
rising. At present the local hospital is still without power. The Mayo
One flying ambulance chopper has been tranfering patients to other
hospitals almost nonstop since the rain dropped down to a drizzle
instead of a downpour. and the weather forecast for tonight is still
more rain.
Migraine related? By all means. This weather has my head just
hammering, although luckily so far I haven't had any nausea with it.
Stay well,
Bear

Sorry to read that your head is pounding, Bear.
The weather forecasts on this side of the pond are getting worse. This year
I've just not been able to have any sort of faith on the reliability of the 24
hr forecast. It's a pain-in-the-pants!
Speaking of weather - this morning is the first one in September with a
*noticeable* nip in the air. Autumn will soon be here.
Cheers, helen s

The only accurate forecast is the "right now" one. My parents still
tease about the worst error from forecasters in the Northeast US. The
result was 6 inches of "partly cloudy". (That was snow, much to the
annoyance of adults and joy for the kids!)
We have a weather station in the house and it's programming shows one of
the biggest flaws in forecasting. It will give 12 hour forecasts based
primarily on the barometric pressure changes. Often it will claim that we
will get rain even when there is insufficient moisture around. (In this
part of Kansas they consider it humid with a relative humidity above 50%.
In the Northeast, it generally wasn't humid unless it was 90% r.h. and rain
was a likely outcome of those barometric pressure changes there.)

I think the nip in the air is part of that global warming trend that
kept the temps here low enough that we didn't have to bother with the
air conditioner at all this summer.

The most accurate weather forecast I ever heard of supposedly came
from Denmark at a time when 3 different weather patterns were all in
motion and depending on which one pushed which way the outcome could
have been rain, snow or sunny, calm or gale force winds, the official
forecast was " The weather service has absolutely no idea what the
weather will be like today."
It may be one of those urban legends for all I know, I haven't taken
the time to look it up.

| We keep getting rainclouds here, usually several times a day at the moment
("here" being a South-West'ish nook of the UK) ... and my head's turned
into a barometer! For the last 10 days, whenever a raincloud approaches, my
head starts throbbing even if I haven't even spotted the cloud yet. Aaarrgh
I need an Indian summer!
