Wednesday was another record high, 60 degrees, beating the old record by 4 degrees. The record low for the date was -16. I don't know what year either of the old records occurred. It snowed yesterday, but almost all of it is gone. Last night's snow is completely melted off of my truck and the sidewalk is clear. The next 2 weeks are going to be mostly highs in the 40s and lows a little below freezing. All winter seems like it's been either colder or warmer than usual, and not many days were average.

March is coming in like the lion this year down in Georgia. High winds yesterday and hard rain last night in front of a cool front. More winds and a high of 70 today. This looks to be the first year in a while where we are getting the winds of March during the early part of the month instead of the latter. The last few it has been windy at the end of the month going into April.

Before we got our inch of snow the weatherman said that system was headed east to combine with another system to make things rather unpleasant. Today I read that it killed 5 people on the east coast. The next time I complain about the weather I'll try to remember how good we actually have it here.

P.S. There were times the last winter or 2 when I got a call from Texas and the temperature was about the same as here. And one day they had more snow in Florida that we did here.

Down here in Florida, today is the first day in the last 25 that we are not going to be over 80 degrees.  We've had the warmest February in decades if not forever.  We set all kinds of records.

That said, we should be getting some of Georgia's weather in the next few days.  Supposed to drop to 49 tonight and only reach the low 70s tomorrow.

Rain and wind and the coastal stilt communities needed rescue, again!

They should make flood insurance extremely expensive so we highlanders don’t have to fix their bad decisions!

Timothy, my neighbor's flood insurance is $1000.00 a month, he has a small stream next to his land that has overflowed twice since 1972 and neither time did it reach his house. I lucked out because my house is about 15 feet higher than his and just misses the alleged flood plane. Flood insurance is a ponzi scheme that puts money into the governments pocket. If they wanted to fix it, They should make an insurance payout one time for places like Galveston island in Tx where some places have been rebuilt over 15 times from hurricanes that they know will destroy the building, Move inland where the threat of flooding is much less.

My last house was like yours, about 50 above the flood plane.  Back then, federal flood coverage had my mortgage company required it, was only about 800 bucks annually.

John Stossell wrote something about this some years back after his beach front home got whacked twice.  He sold the property because he couldn’t justify the taxpayer rebuilding his property. 

Is it not limited to 250k per incident?  That won’t rebuild a garage on the Cape!

That storm that hit the east coast a few days ago killed 9 people (not 5) and left over a million people without power.

. . .  or walk over downed power lines, use generators indoors, etc. A lot of people don't know when they're facing danger, no matter how many times they're warned. If I'm not mistaken one of my uncles drove through some water after my aunt told him not to. It was too deep and their Volkswagen beetle started floating. He probably saw a truck drive through and thought he could make it too.
