Right now, it is absolutely beautiful outside! No wind (which is unusual here) and about 63F. 
It's supposed to be low 80s tomorrow.
And sunny! Yay!! I'm sooooo glad it's not snowing now!! I think even though Spring kind of came early, the weather is still not right. There is still an awful lot of snow on top of the mountains for it being June.

June 09, 2015 - Storm chaser Kelly DeLay spotted not one, but two tornadoes snaking down from beneath a massive storm cloud. See it here.
To get a sense of the unbelievable size of the cloud in the shot up above, have a peek underneath.
Dwarfed by the storm, two tornadoes wind their way across the Colorado countryside -- and to add to the rarity, one of them is even spinning the 'wrong way.'
"The cone tornado that was on the right of the image, that's a cyclonic tornado," severe weather photographer Kelly DeLay, who shot the image on June 4, told The Weather Network. "And as I was shooting it, a secondary tornado, an anticyclonic tornado, started coming down on the left hand of the storm."
DeLay was travelling south from Denver, and encountered the storm an hour from the city. He watched it for an hour as it developed to its eventual enormous size.
But when it came to following it, the limited road network in that area made it tricky, and he eventually had to maneuver around to its rear side, contending with nickel-to-baseball sized hail in the meantime.
"I was about seven miles from the storm when it dropped its first tornado," he says.
It was followed by a second, but though DeLay found a road that would take him closer, increasing mud forced him to abandon the storm.
Still, the photographer, who typically aims at capturing striking storm formation rather than twisters, said it seemed like he'd had all the time in the world to get his shots.
"It really didn't fully comprehend what I was looking at. there was so much going on," he said. "There's chaos going on around me, then watching the storm and the debris that was coming from the storm on the right. This total elation seeing the second one come done, and then seeing the structure ... Just an amazing experience. It took my breath away, that's for sure."
The Washington Post reports the storm may have dropped as many as four tornadoes, although the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration hasn't confirmed that number.
As for the second twister, spinning in an anticyclonic or clockwise direction, tornadoes typically only behave that way in the southern hemisphere, although tornado researcher Josh Wurman told the Washington Post it's possible for such tornadoes to form in the north.
"Anticyclonic tornadoes can form if a supercell contains an anticyclonic mesocyclone," Wurman, who is the director of the Center for Severe Weather Research, told the Post. "Or, a pair of tornadoes, one cyclonic, one anticyclonic, can form. Both of these are rare."
As for DeLay, he's an old hand at severe weather photography. Check out his website,Twitter and Instagram account for more shots.

June 10, 2015 - A system of slow-moving thunderstorms blew through a community southwest of Atlanta last week -- and appears to have taken an entire lake with it.
A system of slow-moving thunderstorms blew through a community southwest of Atlanta last week -- and appears to have taken an entire lake with it.
Residents of Coweta County are devastated that Aspen Lake has vanished after strong storms dropped heavy rain on the area overnight.
Buckets of rain fell on the area Sunday night. Yet by Monday morning the 10-acre lake appeared to have dried up completely.
What was once a popular spot for boating, fishing, and swimming is now an empty field of mud and debris, with a few stray trees sticking out of the mire.

Hot. 90 outside, and almost as hot inside. Mark isn't had a day off in almost three weeks (since it got hot), and I don't know how to hook up the swamp cooler. Not complaining--he's working hard for all of us Fans are a wonderful thing--lol.

can you PM Tina,Cat, she has one.Hot. 90 outside, and almost as hot inside. Mark isn't had a day off in almost three weeks (since it got hot), and I don't know how to hook up the swamp cooler. Not complaining--he's working hard for all of us
Weather here- wet/ loud/ bright flashes. Did cool off. 73F instead of 90F.
Same ole...warm and sunny.....gets boring after a while.
Oh man dose it ever feel nice out night. 86° & clear,the wind is blowing real nice the birds are singing!!
Was woken up at 4 am by thunder but by the time I got up at 5:45 it had cleared out, the rain was over and now it's sun and mostly blue sky. Before getting up I'd talked myself into not taking my morning walk thinking it wouldn't be a good idea with thunderstorms in the area but the peek of blue through the clouds got me going so by 6:30 had my 3 miles in. A great way to start the day! 
June 10, 2015 - May certainly wasn't the warmest month on record across the United States, but it was definitely the wettest. In fact, according to a new report by NOAA, it was the wettest month ever recorded, in 121 years since record keeping began.
May certainly wasn't the warmest month on record across the United States, but it was definitely the wettest. In fact, according to NOAA, it was the wettest month ever recorded, in 121 years since record keeping began.
NOAA - the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration - released their May 2015 National Outlook this week,comparing temperatures, precipitation and unusual events to previous months and years in the record books.
While the records show that the month of May was pretty average when it comes to temperature, it broke national records for precipitation.

According to the report:
Wetter than average conditions were widespread across the central United States. Fifteen states from the Great Basin to Mississippi River had precipitation totals that were much above average. Colorado, Oklahoma, and Texas were each record wet for the month. In fact, Oklahoma and Texas each had their wettest month of any month on record with precipitation totals more than twice the long-term average. The heavy rains in the central U.S. were accompanied by severe weather with over 400 preliminary tornado reports, the most since April 2011. The flooding rains and severe weather resulted in dozens of fatalities and widespread property damage. The May precipitation total for the contiguous U.S. was 4.36 inches, 1.45 inches above average. This was the wettest May on record, and the wettest month of any month, in the 121-years of record keeping.
Based on records from NOAA's National Center for Environmental Information (NCEI), an average of 276 tornadoes are reported across the United States in the month of May. In April 2011 - which included the largest tornado outbreak ever recorded - a total of 875 preliminary reports were logged, 758 of which were confirmed.
This record-setting precipitation across parts of the country occurred while much of California continues to suffer under severe drought conditions, and even regions of the eastern US were drier than normal.
Several other notable anomalies and events, both for May and for Spring 2015:

It was really windy last night but nothing came of it. Another hot day but supposed to cool off tomorrow for a few days.
Thank goodness.
