How is your weather?

Where at?

I actually turned on my A/C today I got so hot.

 

Eugene, Oregon. It rarely snows in town. Now it is nice and sunny. Real mixed bag this last few days. I was in T-shirts at the weekend.

@Splitt3r - you got snow in Albany today?

 

BJ, opening a trailer window isn't really classified as air conditioning.


Coldest day I've ever experienced in Sydney is about 2 degrees C (36 F). Hottest was 44 C (111 F).

 

It's really pretty up there, snow makes anything pretty. I saw some pictures from the mountains with some fresh snow and they were beautiful.

 

LOL!!!!

 

It is very picturesque up here. fromw west to east, we have the coast, which is ruggedly awesome, then the coastal mountain range, which is relatively low but rocky, then the great I5 valley, followed by the vast mountainous region which is snow-capped all year round in places and fantastic elk and deer hunting country. You really do have a bit of everything here

 

If I ever get a chance and time I'm coming Elk hunting. I've always wanted to kill an Elk and a Moose. I want a Moose head on my wall next to my 3 deer heads. Make it look really southern.

 

Just put a velvet picture of Elvis up there.

You know your a redneck if you have ever left a pair of underwear in the woods.

Steve

 

LMAO!!!!!

 

Awesome! We just put last year's shoulder mount of my husband's mule deer up on our wall this weekend. Our son-in-law did an awesome job with it This is rugged terrain....deer/elk hunting is very different to what you see on the Men's Channel down south. I have the blisters and broken toe nails to prove it

Keep me posted if you're coming this way BJ. I'm sure I can fix you up with accommodation and people who know the terrain that you could hunt with

 

I think we have another MajorGeeks Love Connection.

 

Awesome! If I can get a vacation from work to even go fishing I would be happy. When I do come I will take at least 2 weeks.

It was 27' last night, it was 72' today, ain't that some crazy weather?

 

Try eating more fibre.

 

from 84 on monday, and tonight the low could be 25......a front is going thru, but we won't get any rain or snow.......wobbles

 

Fishing yeahhhhhhh! I love it Awesome rivers to fish out here too...Willamette and McKenzie.....steelhead and salmon up to 60lbs.

Last week was low 60's, this morning was 19!!! Wtf is going on

Sweater on/sweater off/sweater on/sweater off/gloves on/jacket on/fan heater on brrrrrr!

 

Today in Chicago.....possibility of almost 60' and we've already had a couple of thunderstorms...yes thunderstorms...lightening, thunder, hail, torrential downpours...the whole bit!!!!

Tomorrow in Chicago.....20', windy, and possibility of light scattered snow showers!!!!

How's that for bass ackwards!?!?!?

Last night, I drove home in a near-blizzard with whiteout conditions (you know, the kind where you find a big ol' truck to follow because you can see its lights, and hope he can see the road?). Today, I woke to thunderstorms (very much like Chicago), but it's only 29F and not expected to get above 35F. The caption says "ice pellets".

Tomorrow, wind gusts up to 45mph and snow.

 

While my watching paint dry webcam is inside, here's a snapshot from the non-public webcam showing some snow in the Republic of Boulder in Colorado - I happened to catch the mailman driving by.

And here's an incredibly exciting time-lapse of me shoveling snow! ;-)

So that's my two cents on "How is your weather?"

 

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH its freezing plus the winds blowing the cold air around and thats making it worse im so tired of this if it has to be so cold around here it could at least snow so we can enjoy playing in it geez texas weather is evil EEEEEVIL

 

I'd like to feel for you all, but I have no idea what cold weather feels like?


I'm dreading Winter though. It gets to 2 degrees C (36 F) at night.

 

-23C tomorrow, and windchill -32C. A windchill of -46C where I work supposedly.

 

Geeeez, -20's and 30's! OUCH.

 

Thunderstorms followed by well below freezing temps equals skating 80 miles to and from work. It took me 2 hours and 5 minutes to get there, and 2 hours 45 minutes to get home.

 

That picture looks so unreal. LOL I half expect to see Postman Pat walk across the snow with Jess following closely behind and Granny Dryden waving to them (British geeks will understand )

 

Yep, Pat and his black and white cat, LoL! Should be a red P.M.G. van, though.

 

I wish it would snow here just one time, one flake would make me happy! It's going to be about 50' tomorrow but I'm still going fishing so help me.

 

I tried going fishing this morning, we got rain, sleet, about 2" of snow and WIND. Lasted about three hours, just to much cold wind on the water.

Steve

 

79F here today. going to play soccer/football right now!

 

Well, I tried to go this morning but it's been in the lower 40s all day and raining so I didnt want to get sick so I didn't go.

 

It wouldn't be so bad if the wind wasn't blowing 15-20 mph with the rain and 40 degree temps. It's been just horrible today here, it's the "lazy" weather. LOL!

 

Yup. You couldn't get much accomplished on the water today.

Steve

 

I just checked our forecast, it's supposed to be rain and mid 40s all week. It's going to suck this week.

 

It's still hot here, even though it's almost the end of summer, 31 degrees C (88F).

Spring and Autumn are very pleasant in Sydney.

 

If it would just quit raining I would be happy. I want mid 60s with clear skies, what I get is rain and mid 40s. In this weather you can't do anything outside hardly and your stuck inside all day, and on my weekend off.

 

LOL. Well, you wouldn't have gotten either snow or fishing here either today. Ice storm last night/this morning (just freezing rain & sleet, no flakes) and temps dropping through the 20s all day. Everything is iced until probably Monday. Currently 17 F (~ -8 C) right now.

 

Ouch! I guess it could be worse down here. I should hush before my luck changes and it does get worse. LOL!

 

I don't know how you guys handle the cold.

I've never had to experience anything lower than 2 degrees C (36 F), and even that was bad enough!

 

Personally, I drink a lot.

I haven't looked at the thermometer, I don't want to know. I had to walk all of 1/2 block to my car tonight, and it was so cold I could feel the skin on my face contracting. Also, the tires have started getting flat on one side if the car sits for more than a couple of hours.

 

Well, first, your body gets somewhat used to it (aclimatized), and second, you wear a lot of heavy clothes. Think the Michelin Man.

Worst I was ever out in, up in the Chicago area, was -28F (-33.3C). Don't know what the wind chill was, but wind was about 20 MPH. Spent an hour in that trying to get my car started. Finally brought the battery inside to warm up and hung a trouble light next to the engine to warm the block up some. Battery charger alone didn't cut it at that temp.

Down here near Memphis, I'll report the weather, but I seldom gripe about it. VERY mild compared to Chicago winters. Not to mention Canadian winters.

 

If it ever went below zero here, I promise you everyone would literally freeze to death. When it gets into the 20s everyone goes crazy, fills up every car they have with gas, every can with gas, covers up everything in their yard that plastic can fit over. It's hilarious!!

 

LOL..that sounds so funny. When it hits 20 here we put a sock over each of the two outside faucets.....that's it!!!

 

Jeez. It's snowing here again, gotta go get more gas.

Steve

 

Well, you're supposed to do that with plants, or they like, uh, die.

 

Yeah, I mean things like "small trees" and things like that. The small plants are inside, LOL!

 

Do you guys need snow tyres or snow chains to drive around your area, or can you get away without them?

 

Here we don't need them, since we've not got mountains (mostly, I've only ever seen them required in mountains). Before the advent of "all-weather" tires and front-wheel drive, however, about this time of year my dad would put chains on the snow tires for better traction, or we'd never make it up the hill to our house (and that didn't always work, I vividly remember walking through waist-deep snow to the house because we had to park 3/4 of a mile away at the bottom).

 

In town many people have studded tires during the winter season, though it's not esential. If you head out of town you are going to need chains.

 

I wish we had snow that needed chains, all we have is regular tires. The only tire other than a road tire you can get here is "swamp tires" which is what I have on my truck.

 

No stranger to the cold here. I went to a Bills game about 15 years ago...of course no game is complete without the obligatory tailgate party. It was so cold, if you spit, it bounced. It was so cold, I put my beer on top of the grill(on, and cooking)to reach inside my coat for smokes, and by the time I had one out, and lit, my beer was frozen. It was so cold, I went for hot coffee in the third quarter, and it was frozen before I got back to my seat. I learned afterward that the wind chill was 35 below zero. Wanna hear about tough guys? Bruce Smith played the entire game with bare arms. Oh, by the way, Bills 13, Jets 9

 

Now that's cold! I wish it would get that cold here but the coldest we've ever got was lower 20s.
