Hey Everyone, How's Your Weather?

Just wondering how the weather was all over. I know it's cold here, but that's not out of the ordinary. How is it where your located?

Been raining alot here in sunny So. Calif.

 

Mild, wet and windy in SW England, UK

 

-18C (0F) and light snow right now. It's been this cold since just before new years.

 

Latta rain and flooding ........

 

Is that normal for that area?

 

Blimey!!! I have trouble keeping warm when it gets below 10C. How do you cope?

 

Actually we have learned to layer on lots of clothes here. Even in our homes, most have a couple layers of clothing on as we even keep our homes cool. Helps so we don't go through major shock the minute we step outside.

 

Helps reduce the shock of the heating bills each month too.

Rainy & high 60s today. Warm for here. "Normal" high this time of year is 48.

 

Do you get decent summers though? I guess I could tolerate the Michelin look if I knew I could unpeel all those layers come summer.

 

Actually we do have some nice summers and some cool ones too. Last summer was cool but nice. I wore a jacket for the most part of it and swimming was only for a couple of weeks. Each summer is usually different than the last. We even get our heat waves that can last for almost a week, running as high as 92F.


@GT, even keeping my house temps down, I still haven't seen a heating bill below $3000.00 per season. Real estate is cheap but the heating gets you in the long run.

 

heavy rains 50F, now zero visibility fog for the next two mornings with sunny afternoons.
Welcome to the San Joaquin Valley of California

 

In England, we swim all year round...we have to...it rains so much!!

 

@scorcer sounds like San Joaquin Valley of California is a very nice place to live. I think I could handle those temps quite easily. I'm afraid everyone would think I was nuts, walking around with a tee shirt and light jacket on, in those temps, but they do sound very nice.

@Lev I think I would prefer the snow to all that rain. Even when it's snowing we sometimes still get sunshine with it. Although I don't like the cold, I do enjoy my sunshine.


Now I am off to bed. A tad tired tonight. Goodnight everyone.











Phantom, you know ......

 

I agree. You can't chuck rain balls, you can't make rain men, and nobody gets excited when it starts raining!

Sweet snowy dreams Shivers!

 

kansas.. where the wind blowssssssss. been in the 30's that is 0 C. ice storms lining up.. odd for here. usually cold and no precipitation. in the summer average highs 95 - 110 f don't know what that is in C.
there is a saying here.. if you don't like the weather wait a day or two it will change..

 

We are just recovering from the worst storm we've had in 36 years... Many people are still without electricity and phone. And there is a new storm coming tonight!

It is unusually warm though! Always a plus!

 

Here is a quote from a local paper here:[font=arial, san-serif]Other stories [/font]

Coldest weather in 8 years barrels down on Central Minnesota
Central Minnesotans, brace yourselves for the coldest weather this area has seen in eight years.


It's going to be "ridiculously cold," St. Cloud State University meteorologist Bob Weisman predicts. Low temperatures of 20 below zero or even 30 below zero are possible Friday and Saturday nights, he said. Wind chills will feel even colder -- between 20 below and 40 below Thursday, and between 30 below and 45 below Friday


Brrrrrrrrr.......................Sure wish I could stay home and not go to work.

Interesting reading everyone's tales of severe weather. Anyone ever read Dean Koontz's "The Taking" ?

*wanders off whistling The Twilight Zone music"

 

Yeah, Halo, my friends in Leeds told me they had the same storm before we got it... I didn't know it was still windy in the UK though, guess that is what will hit us tonight...

Dammit, you've got to arrange some better weather for England soon, I'm coming over in a few weeks, and I was hoping I wouldn't freeze me arse off when I'm there!

 

Solange...it's very mild for the time of year here right now. However, you need to bring a brolly or two

Which part are you planning to visit, out of interest?

 

My cousin tells me ca. 200,000 still don't have heat. Relatives using candles.......

 

Yeah, my dad lives out in the country. He was lucky, they got power back after 24 hours, but for that time they had no water, no light, no stove, no heat. He had saved a few buckets of water for food and sanitation, and he has a wood fuelled stove and a small alcohol driven cooker. And candles. But everyone has not been so lucky, they are evacuating people who don't have heat now. Still, after what has happened in Asia, we can complain!

 

I don't know how many inches of water so far, but we're at 179 percent of nomal for the year, and we get about 18 inches...but that's a math problem....all of the rain gage's in town don't work anymore, ie local cable channel, the weather channel's airport site......the city does have, rain gage's, but from what I can't figure out, I can only read the last 24 hours, and not the monly totals......but while we've had lots of rain......today it sunny, and going to be a high of 54f........wobbles

 

It's freakin cold and very foggy here in (Sunny?) California.

 

the weather sucks.
overcast, cold winds, overall chilly :s

 

Here in South East Texas it's 73 partly cloudy & windy as hell

 

8:40 am wednesday morning.......79f....blue skies, little white fluffy clouds....birds singing....whales leaping....aloha

 

Yeah, pretty normal. We're the cold part of southern BC. The cold comes over the mountains from Alberta.
@lev Gets very warm here in the summer. 30-40C which is 80-90F or thereabouts.You get used to the cold, it's warmed up to -7C right now and feels quite nice. We're gonna chop a hole in the lake and go swimming! Coldest temp. I've experienced -42F orC. that was when I lived in Manitoba. I've never seen it that cold here.

 

Please tell me that was a joke!!! I won't get in an outdoor heated swimming pool in the UK in the middle of summer. Mind you...there isn't much difference between summer and winter in the UK most of the time. It will be so nice when I get back to the NW Pacific Coast to actually experience seasons once again.

 

We went from colder than normal, to a ton of snow out of nowhere, to VERY warm (50F right now) with heavy fog. In less than 2 days, we're supposed to be back down to -5F lows and 15F highs. It's the Michigan roller coaster!

 

Sunny So.Cal. is sunny again. No more rain for a while. Forcast for next 5 days sunny highs mid60's lows mid40's.

 

Cold, very very windy and rainy here in SE England

 

YAY! the sun is starting to bust up the fog in california

North California ( the only california )

 

Glacial....Lots of freezing rain, snow and just cold in the low teens. Lots of fun to drive in...

 

Large thunder storm rolling thru and 55 degrees F. pretty unusual for Jan.12 here in Illinois.

 

We have been getting freezing rain, thunder and lightning. Usually we don't get this until March, but we are getting it now.


OMG, is that you Tate. Tate, glad to see you. Hope the weather clears up for you.

sibeer Your right, it's polar beer swim time. That is one event, I do not participate in.

 

I spoke too soon. Woke up to a nice layer of ice this morning. Pass me some of those layers sibeer please

 

Good to see you on the boards too Glo. I hope you are well...been prayin'

 

It has been about 65 here lately. This is not winter weather.

The sad part is - I had several problems with my furnace during the coldest time we've had. Now, I have a brand new furnace and no reason to run it .

Rain, lightning, and thunder yesterday. Today +14C. Tomorrow -6C forecasted. Will be heck on wheels on the roads. We usually don't get lightning and such this time of year, but in this northern part of the Americas the weather is very fickle..............it's said you can have all four seasons in the same town....i guess that's how myths start...

 

It's been warm (around 80) and kinda partly sunny around here (central Texas) for the last few days, But, YAY!!, a front blew through last night and it's sunny and in the mid 60's today...

Might even get a light freeze Friday or Saturday night.

 

Back to almost seasonal here. We are down to -28 Celsius so as we drop, we will be at our norm.







@Tate. Thank you. BTW, hope you picked up your e-mail. I send something last night, I think.

 

My freaken car doors froze shut this morning. I had to heat the key up with a lighter to get it unlocked, and then I had to spend about 20 minutes heating the edges of the door with a hair dryer before it would let go. Ended up leaving for work 40 minutes later than I wanted to.

Doesn't matter what the temps are, that's just too damn cold.

 

We've had some pretty cold weather too. - 9 last night. -14 with the wind chill.

This is Vancouver for God's sake, not Dawson Creek.

 

Omg that is cold! We usually get -28 degrees C once a year here, and I'm glad it usually doesn't last more than a night!

Here it's sunny, just below zero. Very nice, I wonder what is wrong!

 

- 33C here this morning, but beautiful sunny. look like the next system has moved on shore. MrPewty should be in that one right now. Should get here sometime tomorrow. That'll warm it up some.

 

Still bloomin' hot here! 37 deg c and not a cloud in sight. Only another 3 months or so to go of this heat! <sigh!>

I've got two air conditionsers, 2 fans.. and just bought a third air-con! Yup, I'm still sweltering.
