Karlotta Storm

My country is being hit by storm Karlotta (I don't know where they got this name for a storm), we have bad weather with a lot of rain and strong winds. After two weeks with temperatures reminiscent of spring, it is now much colder and we are back to coats. We were making plans to go see the Carnival parades with the kids but it looks like we're going to have rain during Carnival. My kids enjoy the Carnival so much... I'm not home yet, I'm hoping the rain will ease up a little, I hate driving in the rain and I still have a few kilometers to go until I get home. I hope the weather is better in your place.

Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. We have a lot of rain coming in this weekend. But I'll take rain over freezing cold any day!

@nela13 I am hoping we don't have any more episodes of teens and low 20's here. We had a week and half stretch of it and that is enough. Not used to that here in the South!!

Thank you, I am safe at home now. You are right, rain is better than cold.

Same weather here. We had a premature spring but now is heavy rain and they had to cancel all Carnival parades.

We are expecting snow on Sunday, but it was a really nice day with sun today. I hope you can all stay safe with such a big storm to deal with.

I'm sorry the weather is so bad and the rain will stop you from attending the Carnival parades.

none of the storms do any good to the society. In most cases they create damage to mankind and domestic animals and also property

That is true, storms seem to be worst each year. We are at home now but tomorrow we all needs to get out to school and you work.

That's a shame about the Carnival. Driving in the rain can be very taxing. I hope Karlotta moves on very soon.
