Here in central Indiana we are under a Cold Air Funnel advisory/watch. In all my born days, I've NEVER heard of this before.:D

Yesterday we set a record for the coldest temperature for the 18th of July. It only got up to 70*. Previous record was 75* set back in the mid/late 1800's.

:rotfl2:Damn, AlGore was right global warming is KILLING us!:rotfl2:

Yea I have no idea what that means? I know I'm loving the weather though makes working outside alot easier. I know that Temps have been below average for the last 18 months. Global warming is a Joke.

It has to do with tornadoes

...FUNNEL CLOUDS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON...

ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF
FUNNEL CLOUDS THIS AFTERNOON. THESE TYPES OF FUNNEL CLOUDS
TYPICALLY LAST LESS THAN A FEW MINUTES AND RARELY TOUCH THE
GROUND AND BECOME TORNADOES...BUT THEY ARE STILL POSSIBLE.
REPORTS OF FUNNEL CLOUDS HAVE BEEN REPORTED NEAR NORTH JUDSON AND
IN MARION INDIANA.
THE ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS THESE FUNNELS ARE DEVELOPING IN DO NOT
SUPPORT STRONG...DAMAGING TORNADOES. HOWEVER...ON RARE OCCASIONS
THESE FUNNELS CAN BRIEFLY TOUCH THE GROUND AND PRODUCE MINIMAL
DAMAGE.
IF THREATENING WEATHER APPROACHES...MOVE INDOORS TO A PLACE OF
SAFETY. THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILL CONTINUE TO CLOSELY
MONITOR THE SITUATION. PLEASE FORWARD REPORTS OF FUNNEL SIGHTINGS
TO THE NEAREST LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY FOR RELAY TO THE NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE.

We had one last week. They activated the county-wide emergency sirens. It was all the way on the east side of the county from me(about 20 miles)

ya normally i would too but i have been working on a new hotel being built and we are installing the flooring on the 4th floor and there is no A/C at all. No fans nothing. It is so draining up there so 70 degree weather would be nice.
