Good morning everyone. Going to be a crazy weather day here with severe thunderstorms this morning and then possible snow around 3:00pm....
Bad storm is right on my door step
 
Hope everyone who is in the south survived the storm last night! We just had some heavy wind and rain, nothing too serious here!

That's what Alycia and I were worried about: the high winds while driving!

With it and rain so hard I could barley see to drive with the wipers going as fast as they could it was an adventure. 😆

There was one time before when we almost had to pull over. Driving on the highway, rain and wind were coming down so fast that we could not see more than two feet in front of us. Where people are normally going 70, most people were going the upper 20's because of how heavy the rain was.

I am familiar with these types of rain. 😆 I don't think I got above 50 this morning but have had times where I have had to pull over in the past.

It is raining like that here now on Long Island. I hope it keeps up. 😬
 
Good morning everyone and Happy Monday! Stay safe out there, sounds like there's some bad conditions. On the other hand we're in a heat wave of sorts here.

It's crazy for sure! Someone said they are saying maybe 3 inches of snow for us this evening but I don't know how reliable that info is.
 
If acros are white and the bag of water smells and is cloudy I assume it means it’s not going to make it right. Not worth adding it to the tank and risk it getting releasing nutrients.
