Cassi Creek: It doesn’t
matter what the calendar says. It doesn’t
matter what the national weather service says.
It doesn’t matter what some rodent in PA says. Winter is over, Spring is here.
It arrived
this morning with the announcement of a tornado warning at ca. 0600. We were already having thunderstorms that
began sliding through about 0300. When
the weather radio woke me up with a severe thunderstorm warning, I silenced it
after hearing the list of counties affected.
Thus, I failed to hear the follow on tornado warning.
When I
brought up the computers at 0640, there was a small tornado-warning polygon
aimed at us. Fortunately, it was a
Doppler detection that produced a definite vortex but no funnel or tornadic
damage.
The resulting
anxiety about time, duration, and location, made short shrift of any further
slumber. Loki was horribly anxious. She’d been pacing and trying hide beneath the
bed since about 0430.
So much for
worrying about snowfall.
