It's unusual here in Kentucky to see six inches of snow in January but to
see 8-15 inches of snow in Louisville (Jefferson county) during the month of
March is indeed unheard of. Powerful low pressure system took an unusual
routh east of the Appalachian Mountains and brought a large amount of gulf
moisture with it. Thursday night consisted of heavy, wet snowfall with a
large swath of 4-6 inches. There was a lull in the storm until Friday
evening around 8PM when the area once again became saturated with moisture
and heavy snow started falling, during the second batch, it was much colder
and the snow piled up quickly. Strange event for this late in the winter,
especially considering we only average around 12 inches of snow/sleet per
year and 90 percent of that falls dec-feb.

That looks a lot better.

uk.sci.weather has a lot of post about an as yet phantom storm due
here Monday. You might care to check out the web sites that track
tropical storms and compare the potency of those extant at the times
good or bad weather hits your region.

It will give you a feel for the international immediacy of whatever
causes weather.

A timely warning in light of the spells then current.
There is an image of the O/A process for the last spell in the couplet
he

An early spring storm system advanced out of the Southern Plains in
mid-March 2008, causing widespread flooding. Strong southerly winds
developed ahead of an area of low pressure located over the Southern
High Plains and drew moisture up from the Gulf of Mexico across Texas
and Louisiana.

This warm, moist air collided with a frontal boundary (the boundary
between two air masses of different temperature, pressure, or
humidity) that draped across central Texas into central Missouri. The
convergence produced repeated bouts of thunderstorms and heavy rain
from central Texas through Oklahoma and into Kansas and Missouri.

This image shows rainfall totals for March 13-20, 2008:
http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/New...3?img_id=17971

Mar 7th/Mar 14th; 17:14 (~ 5 o'clock)
Mar 14th/Mar 21st; 10:46 (~ 11 o'clock)
http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclips...se2001gmt.html

The above lunar phases differ only by being 14 minutes outside of each
other -which is to say the harmonic imparted by whatever forces are
concerned were related as closely as noon and evening are. (6 hours
difference.)

God only knows how infra-sound is refracted in the lens we call earth.
I can only aver that the frequency has some sort of harmonic at this
time period as can be seen from the behaviour of weather systems and
earthquakes in North America and surrounding islands.

When a set of matched phases ends there is usually a severe earthquake
on top of all the other calamities. I was expecting worse than the
oner that struck China in its due time. I was expecting larger or two
such events. But such may yet occur in this spell.
