Jayme_K's Blog

Hey Jayme!! I nearly fell over when i saw you blogging lol NICE TO SEE YOU :) Yes finally that will certainly help the economy up there in Flagstaff, we went up there 2 weeks ago to Flagstaff with the first lot of snow they had, there was about 4-5 inches at Munds Park in places the kids had a whole lot of fun (it was my 4 yr olds first time in the snow!!) Sounds like we should make another trip this weekend armed with sleds!!!
Rain did you say rain??? yessssssss!!! (never thought i would ever say that coming from UK heehee)

Hi Jayme, yes it would put a little variation to your job, must be hard to find something to talk about normally apart from 'its going to be sunny and hot' hehehe.
Its weird for me to be excited about seeing rain, because back in UK its more like, heavens i wish it would stop raining!! lol.
The weather reporters back there have their work cut out!! They used to say we were going to get rain and it would be sunny and vice versa!! But the weather is so localised there and can change in a blink of an eye. The biggest boo boo the weather reporters made was they didnt see the hurricane coming back in the late 80's, no one was prepared for that!! Its not normal for hurricane force winds to happen, lots of gale force winds though.
And guess what!! We have been colder than the UK, my dad laughed his head off, i could have swatted him rofl :) (I am usually bragging about how nice and warm it is here)

humidity helps the tan pvaz i found that in the humidity!! However its working pretty well here too:)

Maybe on Brits, but humidity don't help this old man in anyway kid..:o}

I think the strongest wind gust was at 118 mph!!

No kidding!! We ran a story today at noon about the impact that storm had on Germany. Lots of wierd things going on in the world of weather lately. I think it really started with the lack of Atlantic hurricanes last Summer and the totally botched forecast that came with it. El Nino is back and quite strong. The super cold weather we had last week can certainly be traced to the El Nino phenom. I measured 18 degrees outside my home in Mesa Monday morning, temperatures that have not been recorded in decades. Expect another blast or two of Arctic air over the next 4-6 weeks. Rainfall like today's event will also become more common, perhaps more of what we experienced during the Winter of '05. These long lived soaking rains are great for the drought conditions though. Hopefully we can cash in on some extra rainy days this year. Gives us more to talk about too!

Oh my bad didnt see the noon show:(

Brit, we are due north of Peoria/Surprize area about 68 miles at 5100 feet and we are got nothing at that time here in Prescott Valley. We are still getting zip and only had a light dusting of snow this morning.

The fishing has been real bad lately, is this El Nino related? I love the show keep up the good work.

Hi Jayme, Sorry it took so long to get back to your blog about Fla.I was there between 1972 and 1982 ,mostly Ft. Laud and then Pompano Beach.
I was in Kissimee in a resort treehouse (family vacation to Disneyworld) when hurricane Andrew hit. I was only 14 when my parents retired there from the military but I remember the gas shortage,and yes even a water shortage in Fla., you could only water your grass on odd number days of the month if your house number was an odd number, and I remember when Miami tried to change all the street signs to Spanish signs!
I could be mistaken but I kinda remember a news anchor named Ann Bishop and Glen Rinker? You are at least 20 years older than I am so you might not have heard of them. I miss fishing off the boat docks, never had a fishing boat. I did go drift fishing once but got very seasick.
Where do you fish now? Biggest fish I ever caught was 14lb Tarpin, what's your fish that got away story, or do you have any mounted sailfish? (big in my family) These blogs are so old but couldnt find a way to e-mail you directly, could you give me a clue on your web site? I loved last nights storm reminds me of Fla. I know youve been here for four years now but welcome anyway, sometimes I feel like "a fish outta water" (literally) here how bout you?
