[Yosemite Joy]

It was 70 earlier. Looking depressing out there now.

[Newcomer]

Major rain is 2-3 hrs away

[Yosemite Joy]

My wind chimes are going bezerk.

Silly man!

[skybolt]

Raining in Corcoran at the moment, hope it snows in North Fork. Seems I always miss the snow while I am at work.

[Ironhorse]

Wow! I just woke up from my afternoon nap and looked outside, it looks nasty out there. I saw that the valley had a tornado watch in Merced this afternoon, makes me glad I live up here.

[oakhurstleaf]

Here's the weather forecast for Oakhurst tonight:

Showers and thundershowers this evening followed by a few lingering showers overnight. Storms could contain large hail. Low near 40F. Winds SSE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 80%. Rainfall around a quarter of an inch.

Large size hail. That could be fun.

[Ironhorse]

Glad my car is under the carport! http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/shocked.gif http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/freak.gif

[beautiful_mess38]

big hail and loud thunder in YLP

[Ironhorse]

small hail in China Creek, can hear rumblings somewhere, can't tell if it's thunder. Hail is melting almost as soon as it hits ground.

[Ironhorse]

oh yeah, it's thunder http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/sad3.gif I really hate thunder, scares me.

[oakhurstleaf]

Following some strong winds...we got a massive deluge with small hail and a some loud thunder.

Please let there be no power outages tonight.

And hope none of those loose tree limbs hung up in the trees fall and damage anything.

[oakhurstleaf]

Wow. So much and going on so long. Thinkin' of Todd...transporting all that food to the YHS gym in this weather! Not so fun.

[Ironhorse]

Okay, the hail is over, and the thunder didn't pass overhead here, could just hear it from somewhere else. The winds have died down a little, not much.

[beautiful_mess38]

We had lots of big hail loud thunder and 2 major power surges.

[Kahlua Kid]

Nasty hail here today around 5:00 p.m.

So much the ground was white like snow again. And it was just pounding down with thunder and lightning.

Had to go get Beau out of the pasture and it was hurting when it hit, that's for sure!

[CatdaBrat]

inch or so of snow on the way from oakhurst to north fork

[jakobscalpel]

No new weather to report. I just wanted to make the 1000th post in this thread.

Sun and blue sky with scattered clouds...and baseball is once again canceled...due to the rain ravaged fields. Sigh.

[Yosemite Joy]

[Ironhorse]

Expires 1:45 PM PDT on April 03, 2006

Statement as of 7:45 AM PDT on April 03, 2006


... Flood Warning in effect for the southern Sierra Nevada below 5000
feet... including the foothills... through 6 PM PDT Tuesday evening...

The National Weather Service in Hanford has issued a Flood Warning
for the southern Sierra Nevada below 5000 feet... including the
foothills... through 6 PM PDT Tuesday evening.

By 7 am... widespread rainfall amounts exceeding one inch have been
observed over the the foothills and the slopes of the southern Sierra
Nevada below 8000 feet. Moderate to heavy rain will continue through
Tuesday... and fall on the snowpack above 5000 feet.

The storm is bringing tropical moisture into the region... keeping
snow levels high today and Tuesday. Snowmelt is adding to the
runoff... resulting in streams running near bankfull in some
locations... and local flooding of roads in the mountains and
foothills.

Never drive into areas where water covers the roadway. It is often
deeper than it appears. Remember... turn around... don't drown.

A Flood Warning means that flooding is imminent or has been reported.

The Channel 30 weather-guesser said we are looking atthe possibility of 5 inches of rain between now and wed. morning!

Looks like rain....

[civic accord honda]

i would love a hot & sunny summer.

[oakhurstleaf]

I am sick of the rain going on for days on end...but the sweltering over 100 degree heat in the summertime can get to me after a while too. I think I'd rather take the rain...

Just hoping for some nice, clear sunny days...a repeat of yesterday. That'd be quite nice.

[Yosemite Joy]

Rain is good for the pollution and the weeds.

I like rain personally, I loved living in Seattle.

[beautiful_mess38]

I love the rain and I love thunderstorms

Hate the 100 degree's.

[Coldwolf]

I need a measuring tape that reads in cubits...I have some old plans for a really big boat.

Raining, foggy and very depressing. Will the rain ever go away??? http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/cry.gif

[Ironhorse]

No fog here, still sprinkling a bit, but the sky has gotten lighter, like maybe the sun is trying to break through. Bet it won't last though.

[Yosemite_Wolf]

now its supposed to rain all freakin' week!! Grrrrr! Ive got soooo much to do and the yard is already way overgrown and its sooo wet and muddy that even a rideatop mower would sink!

[oakhurstleaf]

Sheeze. These rainy, drizzly, gloomy days are getting old. For every single day of nice weather, there's 3-4 crappy days to follow. No balance. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/no.gif

[Kahlua Kid]

Well - at least this rain is making things green and pretty. (Last year this time, we had already been out on the boat a few times - was much warmer and dryer... but I suppose, its got to rain some time.) Here are some pics from our place today:

My rose bush standards were looking the best they ever have and I took photos yesterday, not knowing that today, they'd be blown around and one started to fall over, had to prop it back up! Bummer...

yeah Monkey I believe you had a few flurries, cos it snowed in Tahoe fri nite. (not good news since my tahoe ride is NEXT weekend!), And cold.. yeah it was cold and windy this am in Reedley when we started out on our ride! My hands and fingers were actually NUMB!

yup, I was at around 5000ft yesterday, shooting with John@3300ft and we had rain and then hail and then rain and then hail.

Quite interesting.

I had to put the blankets back on the bed that I took off last week (put the thermal blankets back on and the flannel sheets).

TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOT!! I just wanted some sunshine to work outside in on my days off...temps in the 70's for awhile longer would oh, SO nice.

[beautiful_mess38]

Not looking forward to the power outage's on Thurs. and Mon. to hot and no A/C

[SheilaMae]

What's this about power outage, Messy??? Just in YLP???

[beautiful_mess38]

just got off the phone with PGE - the outage has been changed to:

Thursday, 6/8 from 8 AM to 4 PM
Monday, 6/12 from 7 AM to 5:30 PM

just got a return message from P.G&E. had left a rather stern message, hoping they would get their act together. The latest is that emergency generators will be installed. Our electricity should be off for 10 to 15 minutes around 8:00 A.M. while generators are hooked up and again about 4:00 P.M. when the generators are being uninstalled. The same thing is due to happen on Monday. That sounds a lot better to me than the all day scenario which was stated in the letters.

I know they have work to do in YLP. I never recieved the 2nd letter with the new dates. I also don't know if its just YLP.

[Yosemite_Wolf]

pg and e sucks.
if they would do routine maintance.. they wouldnt have to do this two day power outage crapola.

[Ironhorse]

Hmmmm, guess I should have watched the weather reports the last couple of days. I didn't know we were supposed to get rain today! http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/freak.gif http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/laugh.gif Just found out when it rained real hard for a few minutes and I heard it on the roof. LOL! Guess that's why it seemed dark this morning.

[Kahlua Kid]

The weather is very beachlike. Yesterday was overcast and cool. Today, some clouds hanging around and cool.

I feel like I'm in Camarillo or Ventura! Reminds me of home.

Saw a little rain in Coarsegold right around sunset...not enuf though. Would have been nice to get a soaker, just a short one. Was over 100 in the shade in front of the $ store just after lunch time today....UGH!! I did put the AC on today...felt like I'd gotten dressed fresh out of the shower without toweling off without it...<SIGH>

[wandaful]

Rained pretty hard in Oakhurst, with wind and the whole bit....quite a little storm scooted through and cooled it off for a bit. There was a pretty rainbow too, before it rained.
And some idiot thought he would take advantage, I guess, and was shooting off bottle rockets. Sounded like they were coming from those apartments on River Falls Rd....kinda behind El Cids.

[Yosemite_Wolf]

no rain in YLP but that eerie cloud cover was about... and flashes of lightening. Had to bring the brat dogs inside cos they were barking in "fright"..... fright my butt!

The whole WEST is baking...and sweating.

Whatcha all doing to keep your cool?

[Mysteefied]

well, I just got back to town, It was 113 in Livermore yesterday on my way to the bay area, where it was about the same. Now that I'm home and not in my air conditioned car, I am staying in doors with my AC on . Yup.. I'm a wimp!

... Heat advisory now in effect until 9 PM PDT Monday...

The heat advisory is now in effect until 9 PM PDT Monday.

Heat indexes from 105 to 115 degrees will occur once again on
Monday.

The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity will create
a situation in which heat illnesses are possible. Drink plenty of
fluids... stay in an air-conditioned room... stay out of the sun as
much as possible. Make sure pets and farm animals have plenty of
water and access to shade. And never leave children or pets alone
in vehicles. Temperatures can quickly rise to dangerous levels...
even if windows are partially open.

The San Joaquin Valley air pollution control district also has
issued a spare the air day for the San Joaquin Valley today.

I can't take this heat!! I don't have air conditioning or a cooler. It was 101 INSIDE my house today!! http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/shocked.gif Then, the power went out, so I couldn't even take a shower. The power was still out when I left for work at 9:30 pm.

Oh, crap, jjcheyenne...I hope your vehicle is at least air conditioned. Can you sleep over somewhere? That's soooooooooooo unhealthy for you.

I have been worried about my black skinned dogs. I already make them go swimming several times a day. And, they hang out in a covered cool, shady, breezeway between the house and the garage. But, today I felt so bad for them that I hooked up a mister in breeze way too!! All 3 dogs took a nice long cool nap through the heat this afternoon!

Nope, my jeep don't have air either. So, by the time I get to work, I have been very drained and feel like I am going to pass out this past week. This heat is going to kill me yet! I don't ever remember it being this hot up here. I can handle the 90's, but this over 100 in the house has got to go!!

[Yosemite_Wolf]

are you renting or own? cos if you are renting your landlord ought to be shot for not having at least a swamp cooler in the house. I had a swampcooler go out one summer... and the landwench was too cheap to buy a new one.. so we moved.

[jjcheyenne]

I own the house. I have a swamp cooler, but it is sitting on my front porch. I could never afford to have it installed. It has been on my porch for 3 years now. I don't even know if it works anymore. I can usually have my windows open and a fan going and it stays tollerable. But this year is a different story. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/sick.gif http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/shout.gif

[Yosemite_Wolf]

those arent that tough to install.. and there has to be someone around that could help you. Heck, you bought the thing... its losing you money sitting there. (not trying to critisise you).

try putting an ad on the classifieds here.. for someone to help you install.

[jjcheyenne]

The cooler came with the house. I bought a used mobile home and had it moved to my property. The cooler did work when I bought the house. The people I bought it from had it going when I first looked at the house. When I had the house moved and set up on my property, I ran out of money. Didn't have enough left to do some of the small things. The cooler looks kinda old and I am not sure I have all the parts for it anymore. And the cooler doesn't go on top of the house, it has to be mounted on the side of the house. I would have to have a large shelf or something built to install it. That sounds like it might cost a lot of money. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/confused.gif I don't know how the people I bought it from did it, but it was somehow just kinda stuck on the side of the house about 12 feet off the ground. No shelf or anything.

[monkey]

Sears has some air conditioners on sale right now for $120.00. They aren't real big one, but great for cooling doen 1 room.

[beautiful_mess38]

JJ, it doesn't cost alot to install a swamp cooler. Call some handymen to get a estimate. Maybe some of the men on this forum could be nice enough to do it for you.

Is it just held by chains? No shelf or anything?

[BGW]

Originally posted by jjcheyenne:

Yes, from the top outside edge to the house are two chains holding the cooler in place and level. It has been that way since we installed it 3 years ago with no problems. Of course the eye bolts going into the house are large and anchored well. Two holes drilled into the top of the swamp cooler for another set of bolted in eye bolts w/ washers (on the inside of the cooler so the eye bolts don't pull out. She is using the equivalent of dog chain, but I would like to trade that out for something a bit stronger.

[Yosemite_Wolf]

That is how i had a swampcooler hooked up once. Worked fine.

[beautiful_mess38]

Wolfie what are you doing up at 4am?
Are you on nieghborhood watch?

[oakhurstleaf]

I'm excited. There is relief in sight. It should be cooling down to the 90's by this weekend. Finally.

[BGW]

I saw a window A/C unit at the Candled Egg yesterday. Sorry, but since it wasn't on my list of needs, I spaced checking it out and have no idea how well it runs if at all... It was outside on a bench a bit to the left of the front door.

[Ironhorse]

I just looked at the weather site and saw that 98 for Sat/Sun and 90 by Mon/Tues!!! http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif (Lordy I hope they're not just funning us!)

OK I give - I'm ready for winter! Yes, I know I am one of those "whiny" types - when its winter I want summer and when its summer I want winter! How nice we live in an area that is semi seasonal. Gives us something to look forward to without any drastic changes. I do believe the fall months - end of Sept., Oct., and early Nov. are my favs. Weather is just right - warm days, chilly nights. Love it.

... Winter Storm Watch remains in effect from Sunday evening
through Monday afternoon...

A Winter Storm Watch remains in effect for the Sierra Nevada from
Yosemite to Kings Canyon park from Sunday evening through Monday
afternoon.

The long break from winter storm conditions may come to an end
Sunday evening through Monday, with the arrival of a significant
winter storm. A weather disturbance from the Gulf of Alaska is
forecast to dive into central California late Sunday and linger
into Monday. This feature is projected to have enough cold air and
moisture to drop a significant amount of snow from Yosemite Park
South to Kings Canyon. Latest forecast snow amounts suggest more
than a foot of snow is possible above 7000 feet, before the snow
ends Monday afternoon. This storm will impact Tioga Pass on
Highway 120, and snowfall amounts will likely be significant
enough to close the pass for the season.
