Good morning, IG. I have found 23 quickly, but expect to slow down.

5:31 am

ItalianGreyhound

Hi, Scrab - waking to another ice storm here

5:31 am

Scrabbler

Uh, oh. We will get another snowstorm on Thurs-Fri. 6-10 inches coming.

5:32 am

ItalianGreyhound

other than that, alls good

5:34 am

ItalianGreyhound

local weather broadcast just said; "thunder sleet" a little dramatic

5:34 am

Scrabbler

Hm.

5:35 am

Scrabbler

Well, we use the term thunder snow for thunder heard during a snowstorm.

5:36 am

ItalianGreyhound

I guess we are getting thunder and sleet, tho its quiet at my place

5:39 am

Scrabbler

I like hearing thunder IF I am safe inside.

5:40 am

ItalianGreyhound

me too - love thunder storms

5:44 am

Scrabbler

And lightning!

5:44 am

ItalianGreyhound

indeed!

5:45 am

Scrabbler

My sister and I were kayaking when a surprise storm came in over the mountain. We quickly got to shore and hid in the forest.

5:47 am

Scrabbler

Then the hail started. Thunder and lightning. Temperature dropped 20 degrees. After 45 minutes we were alive and paddled back to the boatlaunch. It was so scary.

5:47 am

ItalianGreyhound

I was hiking up a small mountain thru the clouds in Colorado when lightning hit below me

5:48 am

Scrabbler

Yikes.

5:49 am

ItalianGreyhound

5:50 am

By Babble standards the other 5 were normal.

8:29 am

penquis

8:31 am

penquis

hi welki...

8:35 am

Shirlockc

8:36 am

8:36 am

MollyL

Yo-yo weather 😊

8:36 am

penquis

it's hard to know what jacket to wear when you leave the house....

8:37 am

MollyL

Keep an assortment in your back seat, just in case

8:37 am

penquis

i should do that... ;o)

8:37 am

MollyL

I feel like a schizophrenic in the car with the temperature setting. HOT/COLD/HOT/COLD

8:38 am

welki

alberta

8:41 am

hurshy

what's the temp at which they match?

8:42 am

mael

I've lived in the US for 16 years and farenheit still escapes me. I know what 70F feels like but can't convert it to a sensible measurement in celsius

8:42 am

welki

i think it's easier to convert from c to f

8:43 am

welki

and it's about -40, hursh

8:44 am

hurshy

ah

9:01 am

hurshy

anyone want to collaborate a bit?

9:05 am

9:06 am

mael

9:07 am

rururocks

9:08 am

mael

you snorgle cats and dogs and babies

9:08 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! beloved Columbo actor

9:08 am

mael

it's like cuddling but by sticking your face in their fluff

9:09 am

mael

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define\n.php?term=snorgle

9:09 am

Gitel

Alea

9:10 am

mael

9:11 am

rururocks

9:11 am

penquis

9:11 am

mael

another glaring omission :)

9:11 am

hurshy

you're just spelling it wrong...

9:12 am

rururocks

oh.. (more coffee)

9:13 am

Shirlockc

i chortle at your snorkle

9:13 am

mael

and here I was thinking it might have been a proper noun or an acronym, like SCUBA

9:15 am

rururocks

it's weird but it looks more correct as snorkle

9:20 am

Kaplan the Magne

spelling

9:20 am

hurshy

9:22 am

penquis

9:22 am

MollyL

Nobody got Falk? Wow

9:23 am

hurshy

parisia was saying s/he needs two more k words

9:23 am

hurshy

sometimes people just don't feel like playing NTPN i guess :)

9:23 am

parisla

yes related in meaning but spelling varies after the 4 th letter

9:23 am

mael

is that the Columbo actor?

9:23 am

parisla

Yes, I need two more Ks and also 2 more 7s, even though I know what they start with...
