Just curious....how is the weather in your neck of the woods?

[BoomerD]

Yesterday, sunshine and mid-60s, kind of the same today...but less sunny...until about 5 pm when a thunderstorm rolled up the coast. Now, still in the 50s, light rain but no electricity in the region.

Freezing rain followed by ice pellets. Fun

followed by sleet. No. Wait. first sleet then ice pellets.

I'm trying to appreciate the difference.

It's not working

65 is 'normal' for an afternoon high this time of year, not for a pre-dawn low as it is now.

I'm trying to appreciate the difference.

Sleet and pellets don't stick to trees and power lines causing outages.

Weird sat pic where only the east coast is dark with city lights on.

We have like 30-40cm of snow coming on Sunday. Fun.

 

[Muadib]

It's in the 80's here, but sadly only for today.

 

[Iron Woode]

cool and rain this weekend.

sitting at 4C

 

[Red Squirrel]

The calm before the storm, was sunny all day, and only like -3C. Although it's a really cold -3, the kind that goes right through you and feels arctic.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Winter storm has started.

Snowfall amounts of 20 to 30 cm.
Peak snowfall rates of 2 to 5 cm per hour.
Risk of freezing rain.

I'm scheduled to work from home all week so I get to dodge this one too, I'm kinda getting lucky with the timing of these storms this year.

 

[Red Squirrel]

The south is getting hit hard with power outages.

Each of those numbers represents one outage, so the circles with 50 means there's 50 outages.

Nothing crazy in my area, it's snowing fairly steady but no wind or anything like that.

 

[Ferrari355]

We're getting 45-55 mph wind gusts

 

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

Forecast is upwards of 8 inches of rain over the next week.

Anybodygottaboat?

 

[Red Squirrel]

Snow fairly steady here but nothing crazy at my end. No power outages or anything.

This is a pretty big weather system.

Storm is over, got the driveway done on my lunch hour. Starting to have to throttle down the snow blower and shoot straight up to be able to get it in the yard since it's so high now.




That's a drywall T square so 4' high, snow is probably closer to 6' at this point at it's peak.

 

[Iron Woode]

a storm is moving through here. It is snowing/hailing here with about 2 cm of crap. Should be turning to rain in a couple hours or so. Flood warnings are out in our area.

-1C with a windchill of -12C

You need to open an AI data center in your backyard operational during winter only. Then let nature take care of the cooling needs.

Building a DC would be fun, the trick is finding an ISP willing to supply with the connectivity that it would require. I actually have more redundancy in my home server room than I have with my leased server for my web facing stuff. Would be fun to host that stuff at home. I would eventually buy a /24 IP block and start hosting VPSes, then grow from there and eventually build a proper DC. Then could do more serious AI stuff and colocates and stuff like that. We don't really have any DCs here that do colocation so it would fill in a big gap.

Cooling would basically be free year round. Even in summer, we get enough sun that the HVAC system could run off solar. Maybe not the whole DC but the HVAC system at least.

Oh so my pension money is guaranteed then, eh buddy?

Another tornado outbreak happening now. Things are starting to get interesting. There is also going to be flooding today. It's been windy here all day and the storms are still a long ways off.

Big tornado on the ground in MO. If live in or around west TN you need to pay attention.

 

[iRONic]

Bah! Second time this week we've been under a tornado watch!

Middle daughter and her whole fam are hunkered down with us here. Oldest kid went with a coworker to their house it has a basement after work tonight.

 

[iRONic]

Tornado sirens just let off! Tornado Alert just came over all of our phones at once! That was pretty annoying…

 

[iRONic]

This was startling coming across six cell phones all at once:

 

[iRONic]

We are in the clear here locally. 😱

 

[Pohemi]

That was a large, intense system.

Zoomed in...
