Rain Soon In Cm Fingers Crossed

[satiariyan]

No replies yet from the city dwellers...

I sort of think than anyone with a couple of years or more of CM experience didn't expect the "thunderstorm" to last more than a few minutes and thus couldn't be bored to entertain a bored country dweller whom we all know perfectly well knows that rain never lasts long this time of year.

Those learned posters who blow hot and cold are driving me crazy. I'll have a beer with my German baker instead. He just called me to say that he survived and will throw a "I don't give a storm" party tomorrow.

When the pressure's on, always good to go for some German storm-und-drink.

In such extreme conditions, I hope you will understand and excuse the poor syntax.

I thought sintax was the government-tax on the beer ?

That too.

Guilty as charged (yesterday night I didn't feel like reading, listening to music or watching a movie)

That said this morning I assessed the damages. Though my house didn't suffer, some of my trees were badly shaken and some big branches fell in the middle of the road. More worrying are the roof boards I found in my back garden. They come from my aunt's house. Some other houses were damaged and trees were uprooted. It was really like a "mini cyclone".

Priceless I hate you.

The storm lasted 10 minutes, the blackout, about 20 minutes.

Man, I was desperate. I didn't know if we were going to make it. I had only one large Archa in the fridge (the last bottle left - The shop was closed), clothes scattered all over the garden . In such extreme conditions, I hope you will understand and excuse the poor syntax.

in such extreme conditions, can i suggest a finer beer such as Tigerbeer in your fridge?

[BigSnake]

We got a good down pour last night.

[Rasseru]

Remarkable. Third rainfall in, what, a week or so, all during a period when the old hands say it never rains in Chiangmai.

Come on you don't listen to those old buffers do you?

Well we had a lovely hour long shower here in Palm Springs...third time in a week. I have lived here for 2 years, but this is the first time I have noticed the pollution falling in the rain. On St. Pat's Day my clothes were actually grossed out by the dirty shower that I thought I was enjoying. And now I have to wet-brush the patio cause it has turned black from the rain. We just can't win! But the wind and cool rain makes up for the dirty stuff big time!

Same as last year. Could it be the King's rainmaking planes?

[eek]

Oooh..bump time.

Me thinks a storm is brewing..?

Wind has picked up north of town towards Mae Jo. Don't notice any lightning though.

[eek]

Some lighting here in town..but cant hear any thunder.

You're absolutely right, eek. It's pouring down here, near the Night Safari

I don't recall anyone saying it never rains in Chiang Mai. Who said that?

It hasn't rained at my house since a midnight rumbler some weeks ago...

[ovenman]

I see distant lightning to the southwest now, but yet the nearly-full moon is still shining brightly.

Also here, but then I live nearly next door to you.

To be fair, I've lived here (CM) for 15 years and never seen rain this often shortly before Thai New Years. It's always been within a week after the festivities.

[sendbaht]

Watching TV, Pulp Fiction (for like the 10th time) winds picking up a bunch, but, I still see stars in the sky.

[IanForbes]

You can thank me. I tried to bring the sunshine home to Canada with me and sent you our normally rainy Spring in return.

[MonsieurHulot]

[eek]

Ahh..was a lot of drama. Promise of rain and a big storm. But..its already passed over without even a drop my way! Ah well..at least the sky seems quite clear. So thats good.

[Ulysses G.]

It sprinkled a little downtown.

[Priceless]

According to the Thai Meteorological Department (I think their station is at the airport) we got 2.9 mm. Wish it had been 29 mm, but still better than nothing

[WinnieTheKhwai]

Pretty heavy shower in the Hang Dong area. Still drizzling now.

[el jefe]

Not a drop of rain in the nimmanhaemin area.

[MonsieurHulot]

It's muggy today.

[WinnieTheKhwai]

Perfect Songkran weather.

[ovenman]

Pretty windy north of town right now (towards Mae Jo), but still starry skies. Anybody experiencing rain?

[MonsieurHulot]

Yes, it rained in Saraphi 20-25 minutes ago.
