The Weather Report

[Kobi]

In between the monsoons and thunderstorms, Spring has been showing itself.

Was 77 today and sunny. Tomorrow it is back to the low 50's.

[Kätzchen]

Well..... we have a mix of rain and sunshine, today. All week long, we've had some pretty turbulent weather move across our PNW region. I don't have much faith in the weather app on my phone and because I don't have TV, I usually pay closer attention to the radio I have, which I leave on and is out in the kitchen. It's a Sangean CCRadio Patinum Edition, which was given to me a few years ago. It's got an comprehensive system for weather band reports and the information given, over particular local or regional networks, is often more timely than what you could get online --- especially if high Internet traffic volume causes an weather website to crash.

The above link for NOAA is a good place to find a radio weather service network, for your location.

Here's a photo of what my radio looks like.


It's about 53 degrees right now, slight winds, intermittent rain and sunshine.

Lows tonight will be near the upper 40s.

On Thursday, later this week, with no cloud cover around, it will soar to 80 degrees. The next day, and possibly the following few days, we will drop down twenty degrees, or so.

[Shystonefem]

Chilly and rainy. Too cold for thunder storms.

[NavyButch]

Getting some wicked thunder and lightning along with the rain- love it. As long as the power stays functional. Sure do need the rain though.

[Orema]

It's 47° (F) with light rain after heavy rain all night.

[Gemme]

The sun's out and it's drying up the rain from the past couple of days.

[Kätzchen]

Chilly, very chilly weather. We've had band after band of turbulent thunder storms with lightening, for nearly a week now. We might get intermittent sunshine today, but pearly skies prevail. Highs: maybe 52* ? Lows: 40-44* ?

[Glenn]

Great! 86. Sunny. A moderate breeze. I had a short snooze on the beach. I wanted to swim, but the water temp was 42. The beach is only a short walk from my door to the shore.:)

[Chad]

79 degrees and overcast in central Texas with storms expected tonight.

[Kobi]

The sky is blue, the sun is bright, the temps are in the low 80's. Much welcome change from the 40's and 50's, clouds, and monsoons.

The forecast said today was supposed to be much cooler than yesterday. Yesterday was in the mid 70's. Just cant get the hang of this new math. :superfunny:

[Kätzchen]

Hazy blue skies, currently. Clear skies by afternoon. Clouds return later this evening. Highs: maybe 55* ? Lows: somewhere in the mid-to-upper 40s.

[Kätzchen]

When I first moved to my area years ago, I kid you not ---it seemed to rain every single day, no matter the month of year. Then, gradually, our micro-climate of year around rain has nearly vanished. I just an extended summer forecast for my area in the PNW, and it's terrible. I don't do well in heat. Especially if it's going to last for months.

Today it was very uncomfortable. Nearly 83*. Humidity and hazy air pollution make it worse. The next two days it will be over 90*.

I really like pearly skies, intermittent sunshine....I hope they're wrong about the extended forecast. I hope it's not as hot as they think it's going to get.

[Orema]

67 F and it's gorgeous outside. A bit foggy, but that will burn off soon.

[Chad]

73 degrees and raining in central Texas.

[MsTinkerbelly]

It's going to be 96* today...next year we should be somewhere a bit cooler for the summer. :pirate-steer:

[girl_dee]

There is a mini hurricane happening .. i am by myself where at work in a very old building, and I am trying not to freak!

[MsTinkerbelly]

Hang in there!

If you can survive Katrina you can survive anything.

[JDeere]

73 and light rain right now, but that doesn't guarantee we wont get worse later tonight!

[Chained Daisy]

Rain today and more rainy days ahead....

[Chad]

98 degrees and sunny in central Texas.

Here comes summer!

:tanning:

[Ender]

About 15C, overcast, and scattered showers throughout the day.

[JDeere]

Right now its 85 but it feels like 95, yuck

[Kätzchen]

The weather is lovely, this morning:
55 degrees, right now. Pearly skies. My favorite weather.

We will get a few days of sunshine, too, possibly early next week. It will be way too hot, on those days for me, but Pearly Skies will prevail (hopefully sooner, rather than later).

<<<mysterious femme eyes>>>

[*Anya*]

I just checked the weather report online.

63 degrees right now, up to 83 in my town but 90+ in greater LA area.

I thought it was supposed to hit 100 but not yet...

[MsTinkerbelly]

73* at 8am, 101* later today.

108* by Tuesday :fireman:

[Chad]

98 degrees and sunny in central Texas.

We are expecting 100 degrees on Sunday.

:fan:

[Orema]

It's currently 75 (F) and it's going up to 88.

[*Anya*]

LA Times today:

Think it's hot now? Just wait: Southern California's heat wave is just getting started

The worst of it next week.

90 in LA area up to 120+ in Palm Springs area.

[JDeere]

91 but was 93 earlier, heat index 103.

[Chad]

96 degrees and sunny in central Texas.

[CherryWine]

Rain, rain, rain...

A canoe might be a wise purchase at this point.

[MsTinkerbelly]

We are headed for 109* today.

Currently 96* at 10:29 am

[JDeere]

82 and mostly cloudy, waiting to see if Tropical Storm Cindy comes through.

[*Anya*]

High 70's to low 80's where I live.

Other places? Drink lots of water and stay as cool as you can:

[Wrang1er]

We are getting heavy rains because of Tropical Storm Cindy. Cindy ruined my plans of going camping this weekend. I don't much care for Cindy!

[Chad]

[MsTinkerbelly]

100* here today.

:firetruck:

[Chad]

73 degrees and pouring between Houston and Austin. I had to pull over for a bit do to visibility issues. Yucky!

[MsTinkerbelly]

99* here today.

We have a brush fire near here that has burned over 5000 acres, and was caused by a car going off the road (accident), combined with 15 mile per hour winds and 105* temps.

When we had all the rain here this year, everything was so green and pretty...but I turned to my Kasey one day and said, "California is going to burn this summer". I hate it when I'm right.

[Chad]

99 degrees and sunny in central Texas.

:fan:

[JDeere]

87 and sunny for now!

gonna be hot in a bit

[Kätzchen]

Oh gosh, it's been way too hot lately. The past few days we've nearly hit 100*...... sweltering heat wave, one right after another.

Today.....it's the perfect type of 'baby making' weather:

62 degrees (currently), pearly skies, and AT LAST.... no heat. :awww:

:)

[CherryWine]

90s and humid...a typical summer day around here.

It feels not unlike what I'd imagine living under a tongue would feel like. :)

[MsTinkerbelly]

110* today and tomorrow.

I'm meeeelllltttttiiiinnnnggggg....

[Chad]

97 degrees and sunny in central Texas.

[Chad]

98 degrees and sunny in central Texas.

:fan:

98 degrees and sunny in central Texas.

Forget about frying an egg on the sidewalk I could cook a Sunday roast on the hood of my truck. Ha!

[MsTinkerbelly]

Only 92* today, but the humidity will be 72%!!

I see thunderstorms in our future.

[Kätzchen]

Very warm weather today, and the rest of the week.

Nearly 100* today.
Several days at enjoyable warmth (83-ish*).
Then more days of very very warm weather.

:blush:

[Blade]

[JDeere]

82 but feels like 90 out, at 3 am.

[hopelessromantic69]

63 and clear but 92 tomorrow climbing into the 100's for the new week 😳😎😓

[MsTinkerbelly]

It will be 100* today, and probably each day until the middle of October!

It drops 30* at night here in the desert, so sleeping is pretty comfortable without using the AC.

[Bèsame*]

All night long weather alerts on the phone. Flooding. I'm ok, and it looks like the drive into work will be ok.

JDEERE, are you ok? Is there a river outside your door???

Im okay just can't get to I 10 and some parts of 290 are bad near me

[Orema]

Something isn't right ... it's 87° (F) and it's not even 6am, but the weather report said today's high would be 88. Hoping the weather report is correct.

[MsTinkerbelly]

It has been 110* for the last week, and 105* for the week before that!

Today's high is supposed to be 95*; but like Orema said, it is 86* here right now! I'm really hoping they know what they are talking about.:seeingstars:

[Blade]

Keeping an eye on the east coast. Beautiful day today but an ugly storm is brewing. Home it stays out to sea.

[Kätzchen]

Ohhhh, it's been fairly warm lately. Mostly 90s to low 100s. Once in awhile we get the balmy 80s.

Really nice at night tho. ... low 60s.


I'm staying hydrated too....mostly water but my doctor gave me a great recipe for home made Lemonade with electrolytes. It works like a charm. :)

[Kätzchen]

And it's 50 degrees cooler.....with a 30 point spread between day time and night time temps:

Right now, it's just barely 45*, blue skies for miles and miles

Today's high (if possible) will be nearly 70*


:hk28:

P. S. / my mother called last night to tell me that my sister in northern Idaho is snowed in by blizzard conditions....

[FireSignFemme]

Just past noon and it's 62 degrees here in Eastern WA. The high today will be 68 so Fall is definitely in the air and I'm loving it. :hk28:

[candy_coated_bitch]

60's and sunny and a light breeze. Beautiful.

[MsTinkerbelly]

It was a lovely 76* here today....by Friday it will be 95* again.:seeingstars:

[cathexis]

NY North Country can't seem to decide what season it is.

Last week we were in the 90s. This week the 40s-50s with frost warnings.

Go figure. Well, that's North Country!

[Tuff Stuff]

64 high today
29 tonight

:cold:

[Kätzchen]

It was simply gorgeous today! I spent the day visiting two elderly ladies, both who are family (mom & Aunt) to my great friend, Jackie, who is such a sweetie..... she just got out of the hospital today, but her mother has dire heart issues and needs surgery soon. We're all very worried over her mom.

So, it was a beautiful day for a picnic in the fall sunshine!

High: 70*
Low: 45*

:hk28:

[Tuff Stuff]

So fuck'in windy!!! :overreaction:

[Kätzchen]

Lots of rainfall, mild temps, pearly skies.... :hk28:

High: 55* ???

Low: 47* ???

[Esme nha Maire]

Here in the middle of the UK we had fog today, followed by drizzle, then someone mislaid a lake right over the top of the college (it seemed like), then more drizzle, more rain, then - it stopped raining! Was still overcast though, didn't see the sun all day.

T'other day when that storm blew over there were a couple of spells where the sun was a dim red even though it was about 30 degrees high in the sky - it was beautiful! But car-owners whinged that their cars were covered in dust. No pleasing some folk! :-}

[Tuff Stuff]

Cold this morning.Today we had some sunny skies with the winds picking up by evening.High was about 60 and tonight will be some rain and 34 by morning time.

[Tuff Stuff]

Woke up to the sight of light snow on the ground,its already melted.Around 47 high today and 32 tonight.

Sun with thick clouds at the moment.

[MsTinkerbelly]

67*, cloudy and VERY windy today, with a chance of rain.

Should be 100* by Monday:seeingstars:

[FireSignFemme]

58 degrees, partly cloudy, winds SW at 24 MPH. Expected low today 45 degrees in Eastern Washington as of 1:52 pm.

[*Anya*]

It is 103 today and I am not far from the beach.

The air feels like our heads are stuck in an oven and the Santa Ana winds are blowing.

Suffocating is a good word for it.

I worry about more fires now.

[Kätzchen]

I sure know what you mean after the horrible fires locally and all.over Oregon. Very scary stuff.

We actually have a week of beautiful weather. It's about 67* now, not a cloud in the sky all day, slight winds. So very very lovely today.


So hard to believe all the fires that have raged on the West coast for months now. I hope it gets better soon Anya! :rrose:

[Chad]

Okay, what is going on here? It was 37 degrees at my house this morning. In Texas!

[MsTinkerbelly]

It will be 98* here today, and over 90* this weekend.

Monday when we leave California it will be 77*....BUT our first stop in AZ will be 90*.

We just can’t escape the heat! :byebye:

[Kobi]

The wind blown monsoons started during the night. Thankfully there are periodic breaks in the rain so there has been no flash flooding yet.

This is supposed to usher in some actual Fall weather. Hope they are correct.

[JDeere]

72 and sunny. Its gorgeous out.

[girl_dee]

42 and cold-ice on windshield this morning

[JDeere]

51 and very clear, oh my goodness!!!!

[*Anya*]

61 right now, up to 86 today.

After 103, it will feel positively cool.

It is all relative.

PS: I checked Cal Fire.com this morning and a couple of fires are 100% contained but we have several still burning.

PSS: this is not the documentary thread but I want to mention the Netflix documentary on the Cal Fire fighters, prison women that train and fight California fires and local fire fighters. Hats off and a thank you to all. Netflix doc is called Fire Chasers.

[Chained Daisy]

[Tuff Stuff]

36 outside right now.About 80 today.

[girl_dee]

it's perfect!! Warm, sunny and about 70

[Chad]

Burr! 36 degrees here tonight and probably a light freeze here at my little ranch.

I hate winter so I will start complaining now.

[Kobi]

High wind warnings and flash flood watches are up again.

Apparently tropical storm Philippe, a midlatitude storm (whatever that is) and upper low to its west are going to meet up for Sunday brunch somewhere up in these parts.

Seems safe to wait until the morning to move my car out from under the tree.

[Chad]

36 degrees outside 64 degrees inside my house. Burr!

:cold:

[Gemme]

Flash flood warning until tomorrow morning is currently in effect. The wind is hella wild out there. I noticed a praying mantis on our window screen this morning and they are still there. Must be shedding. Hope they can hang on through the winds that are to come. Up to 60 mph and up to 4 inches of rain possible. It'll become more and more clear as tomorrow progresses but up until lunch time, it's going to be a wicked wild ride.

[Chad]

80 degrees today. Yay!!

:thumbsup:

There was less rain than anticipated but some locations actually had 80 mph winds and there were over 600,000 people in the NE without power, including us for a little while. One of my 40 foot trees was ripped up from the roots and split in the middle. We're thinking a small tornado touched down. Luckily, it's going to be a beautiful day today. Sunshine, light winds and in the low 60s.

[Kobi]

Nice today. 50's, no humidity, little breeze, and lots of sunshine.

Nice change from yesterday with the hurricane force wind gusts and monsoon rains. Amazingly, there was minimal damage and only scattered power outages.

My brother, who lives in the woods of northern RI, is still on generator power, the phone service is out, and the cell service which is spotty even in good weather is down as well.

[Kobi]

There is a frost advisory this am. Is 38 at the moment.

[Chad]

It is 40 degrees in Texas. What the heck?

I am glad that I am not on the boat in this weather.

Burr!

[Bèsame*]

It has cooled down in Texas! Yesterday, 88..whew...today, well right now, 68. Sweet!!!

Back door open, the coolness sneaking in. I love it!

AND, it looks like it will repeat tomorrow!

[Kobi]

Freeze warning and high wind warning in effect. :blink:

Time to find the sweats and gloves.

[Gemme]

The next couple of nights are going to be in the mid-teens and low 20s. Brrr....

[Kobi]

At the moment, it is 29 with a wind chill of 16. Highs to be in the low 30's today. Wind warning was dropped. Sun shining tho.

Found the sweats and flannel. Now searching for scarfs, gloves, and ear muffs.

[Mopsie]

When I left work this morning at 8 am it was 20° - I was wishing I had thought to bring my scarf! I'm glad to be back home where it's warm. :cold:

[Chad]

It is warming up in Texas should be in the 70's today.
Yay!

[Kätzchen]

I suppose with vast tracts of timber that burnt down over the past few months, our weather here and largely throughout the Pacific Northwest will be hard to predict, based on past weather models.

We've had intermittent spells of chilly weather (rain wind snow, lather rinse repeat) for days now.

High today: Maybe 55* ?
Low tonight: Maybe 40* ?

I dunno.... all I know is it's very chilly :cold:

[Gemme]

I had to put the first sprinkle of ice melt out this morning.

:blink:

[Kätzchen]

It was an 'half & half' kind of day:

Half pearly clouds...
And, half pearly dark clouds chock full of rain.

Either half was just as cold as the other half.

The approximate "high" was somewhere near 57* ???
The approximate "low" is somewhere near 53* ???

But right now, it's 47* (according to an weather bulletin).

::::: mysterious Femme eyes :::::::

[MsTinkerbelly]

Currently 21* , feels like 14* according to yahoo weather. :blink:

[Chad]

In the 60's today and the 30's tonight.

I finally turned on the heater. Haha!

[Kobi]

Is in the high 50's at the moment. Nice, comfortable temp.

The monsoons are also back and the roads are getting flooded.

Temps will be dropping back into the 30's tonight and a high of 40 for turkey day.

[Esme nha Maire]

Blimmin' windy here today! I had to stuff my hat in my bag!

[homoe]

It's dark damp and gloomy BUT it's in the low 60's at least!

[*Anya*]

86 degrees and sunny. Tomorrow, it is supposed to be 88.

I would just love a cool, RAINY day, :rainsing: especially for :thanksgiving: !

[Orema]

It’s 56 Fahrenheit right now in the “hidden valley” and will be 86 later today.

[CherryWine]

It's 65 degrees with 30% humidity, and there's not a cloud in the sky.

You can't beat that with a stick.

[Stronghealer]

windy and rainy

[cathexis]

They promised us some snow. We had about a quarter inch last night which has melted. Some beginning to our winter.

[Kobi]

The variable weather is making me a little nutty. We are back in a bit of a warm up with sunshine, blue skies, and temps hovering around 50.

I finally figured out how to layer well for the cold weather and now have to refigure this for the not so cold weather.

And lastly, I wish my weather program would stop changing my location from the USA to somewhere in France where they are having snow.

[Kätzchen]

Lots of wind and rain today....

Chilly, wet, pearly skies.

[JDeere]

Rain and 52 degrees outside.

[MsTinkerbelly]

Cold, with a side of freezing wind.

42* today, 20* tonight

Wind chill right now...31*

[homoe]

Mornings have been cold and damp, then the sun comes out, heats things up and we've been hitting the mid 40's the past couple days with BRIGHT sunshine ......hard to beat that for December I'd say.......

[Canela]

It's 55° out here and rainy, windy and just plain yucky...

Yesterday it was 78°, balmy, breezy and beautiful...(big sigh)

:praying:

[Chad]

Today 41 degrees and raining tonight more rain with temperatures in the 30s. Burr!

:cold:

[Kätzchen]

Very cold, but at least there's sunshine.

[Chad]

Currently it is 41 degrees and raining tonight is expected to be in the 20's. Burr!

:cold:

[Esme nha Maire]

Windy today, and rapidly cooling. And we've at least four days ahead of temperatures bouncing between -1C and +2C with intermittent light snow.

[homoe]

Sunshine and in the 40's .........and can I just say this about snow, it's nice until you have to go out in, shovel it, or drive in it!

[Orema]

Windy and dry.

Sending big love to the firefighters, first responders, and evacuees.

Hoping all the planeteers and their loved ones in California are safe and protected.

[Blade]

Cloudy and cool. It feels much cooler than the actual temp

[Chad]

It is snowing!

I had to drive in a snow storm to get home at 15 mph. My heart was beating out of my chest. I was terrified but I made it. I could barely see the road and tried to remember everything that I have heard about driving in snow and ice. There was a thin layer of ice on the road but I kept the truck steady. There is 4 inches of snow in my yard.

This is central Texas! We can't drive in snow and ice.
Ugh.

:cold:

They can have it!

[VintageFemme]

We had snow flurries on and off all day in Funkytown today! It was magical. I hope we have the snowiest Winter ever!

[homoe]

They can have it!

I second that!

[Blade]

Calling for a dusting of snow tomorrow and Saturday. Woohoo woohoo there won't be a piece of bread or swallow of milk to be found for a hundred miles

[Bèsame*]

I'm on snow patrol tonight. He went to sleep and I get to sound the alarm..lol... This won't last long and it's rare, so we need to see it or blink and it will be over.

It's a jungle in here. Not only do I have the Christmas tree, but add to the mix...ficus tree, blooming begonias and geraniums, climbing ivy, hanging fren and some gerber daisies get to share the warmth inside.

[JDeere]

34 and snowing....

High will be 46 to 48 degrees for Friday, here.

[Esme nha Maire]

0C give or take a degree, all day, and multiple snow-flurries, although so far the snow is only settling on grass and parked cars, it's melting on the roads and pavements. But I couldn't get in to college today, as a snow shower hit just in time to make a steep hill impassable to the college minibus, so they couldn't get to the pickup point :-( Night has fallen, and the temperature's dropping slightly again.. I hope it isn't icy uinderfoot tomorrow!

[cathexis]

Sprinkle...sprinkle...sprinkle............THEN.... ......melt! grrrrrr!

[girl_dee]

we had a dump of snow/rain/sleet aka “wintery mix” and it was a slippery sliding drive home from work where the traffic was insane on every road. i passed four accidents. Those people are having a really bad day :(

On another note, it was fun and beautiful and i got to break in my new snow brusher off-er and come home early to enjoy a nice warm cuppa coffee with some amazing moonshine in it :)

[Blade]

34 degrees, sleet and rain snd has been since about 2.

[Chad]

The snow is mostly gone so travel was better. I had to dodge a few cars this morning sliding on ice but the commute home was pretty easy.
Currently 40 degrees and tonight will be 30ish degrees.

[Gemme]

Some reports say it'll be 2 inches and some say it will be 7 inches. Either way, I'm not happy. This is the first time since I've been here that we got snow before January. I blame this on DC.

:weightlifter:

[Esme nha Maire]

SNNOOOWWWWWWW!!!! (excited squeals) I helped my best friend get the snow off her car before she set off home (some 100 miles away) then nipped inside to put on some extra layers before attempting to make a snow sculpture. Sadly, I discovered that my artistic skills with snow are next to non-existent, but it was fun trying, and I took some nice snaps of the street covered in snow about five-ten centimetres deep.

I just hope I'll be able to get into college tomorrow though! 8-}

[Canela]

We actually had snow here, 36°. It was on Friday, I could not believe my eyes! It's the last thing I would have expected on this tropical island, but there it was! I actually took video of the phenomenon and pictures as well. Smh... it was amazing to see. (At least I don't have to miss Chicago at Christmas this year...)

It's starting to warm up now, yesterday was up to 61° and today the high will be 69°. Seriously--what a weekend!

[girl_dee]

South Carolina....

we got two days of snow, but none really stuck. It was a slosh-mess but still pretty.

it went down into the low 20’s yesterday here and in surrounding areas, so where Mel and i visited last week (Asheville NC to Gatlinburg TN) has had road closures, fallen trees, power outages and a million traffic accidents. It’s a mess.

Northern Georgia saw much snow and the airport was a mess with cancelled and delayed flights. i’m also very glad Mel didn’t have to deal with that. :|

Being holed up with my Mel would have been a wonderful few days, but i am glad we took our road trip when we did!

:carride:

[Esme nha Maire]

Blimey, we've actually had enough snow over a wide enough area to cause severe disruption to transport services. Apparently the city centre where I live now looks like this: https://www.instagram.com/p/BchtnlGhKEX/

I suspect I won't be seeing college tomorrow!

(added in edit) I was right - I've just heard that the college is closed tomorrow! I can't say I was relishing the notion of braving the weather tomorrow!

[Lyte]

I was born and raised in California. Growing up I vacationed all over that state and OR and WA and western Canada. Now I live in Texas. I miss... read MISS ... the west coast so much! BUT... here comes the weather connection... lol the weather in CA has changed... continues to change... that I wonder if I'd even recognize it in 20, 30, 50 years... if I lived that long.

It saddens me to think that what makes CA ... well, the whole west coast really... so amazing... could disappear forever. Not sad just at losing the gorgeous weather itself but the entire environment could be changed ... lost... forever.

[*Anya*]

It is 86 degrees today and still windy.

It will stay this way at least until midweek.

I revere the fire fighters that do their very best under horrendous conditions to fight these fires.

This picture was released by the Santa Barbara Fire Department today.

Isn't that good weather to be making some warm and tasty?

[Chad]

Isn't that good weather to be making some warm and tasty?

Yes, I am making carne guisada low and slow with Spanish rice. Come get a plate!

[cathexis]

Been a bit chilly here. We haven't seen 15 degrees very often lately. In fact, that might be considered a warm front right now. Last temp. I saw was -5. Family blames me as I love, love, love the cold and snow. For me, summer sux. Problem here is not enough breeze. They have no idea what a prairie wind feels like.

You can keep your 80s and your rain. Would rather freeze.:walking-poodle:

[*Anya*]

It is still windy here. Gusts 40-60 miles per hour in the canyons.

Very windy on even on the coast, where I live. Mid 70's today.

High fire risk continues.

The Thomas fire has burned 269,000 acres and is only 40% contained and they expect it to get worse today.

1,000 structures (and homes) destroyed and more are threatened.

One 32-year-old fire fighter died of burns and smoke inhalation. He had a pregnant wife and 2-year-old daughter.

California is a wonderful place to live except for dealing with weather-related tragedies like this.

I found online that there is only a 6% chance of rain in the next 2 weeks.

:praying:

[Kätzchen]

It's very chilly....we might get waves of misting rain.

We have had significant winds too, which adds toward the cold index. Just these past few weeks, winds were clocked at hurricane force winds out in the gorge. Some readings were well over 84 mph, at sustained lengths of time too.

Anya? I read somewhere that our state sent quite a few fire fighters to help out down your way. I imagine Washington has too. The west coast sure took a beating thus last year in fires.

I hope your situation in southern California gets better soon!

[Lyte]

If forgotten it was going to rain yesterday. In the morning I'd set a hose to water a new tree and didn't remember to turn it off till the evening! That suckers gonna stay watered for a month! Iol :blink:

50 degrees and raining in central Texas.

[Kätzchen]

We had a dusting of snow, and freezing rain on top of the snow....so it's very cold here. Now that winter solstice has come and gone, we will gain more daylight each day that goes by.....

[*Anya*]

It is going to be in the low to middle 70's, heading to upper 70's by the end of the week.

The fire fighters are still battling the Thomas fire.

Almost 274,000 acres burned so far and 90% contained. They have been fighting it since early December.

It is the largest wildfire in California history and there is zero rain expected.

[homoe]

We had a white Christmas with more than just a dusting of snow, I'd say at least two to three inches out here in the higher elevation.

Now they forecast temps to be in the low to mid 30's till Wednesday when they will rise into the 40's with rain!

I also noticed the sun is setting at 4:24 now compared to 4:19 on the solstice.

[FireSignFemme]

Snow! Snow! Glorious Snow! It's 28 degrees this morning with a high of 29 expected tomorrow so it's not going anyplace anytime soon. :)

[Kobi]

The cold is settling in for the next 10 days,. Temps expected in the teens/20's.
Potential for snow showers (wonder what that really means) several times during that period.

Used to like the cold weather. Now I am looking forward to a trip to Florida in a few weeks and Spring!

[Gemme]

I don't even bother with the actual temps. I only look at the wind chill number, because I spend a quarter to half the day outside so I need to know how many layers and how thick, etc. Looking at the figures for the next 10 days or so and I see a few days with negative signs in front of the numbers. No bueno.

DC got me a new fancy jacket for winter and I hate to dirty it up but I will be wearing it when I go back to work. I can guarantee that it will be salt covered in no time.

[Esme nha Maire]

Wow, it evidently snowed a second time here whilst I was poorly. Twice in December is almost unheard of in recent years! Didn't think the temperature had been low enough. It's melting though, and what's left on the pavements is thin slush, really, so I was able to get to the local shops for supplies OK.

[girl_dee]

Per Alexa it’s 33 degrees, High of 50. Warmer than yesterday.

[Kätzchen]

One of my Christmas gifts from my BFF was an green technology type heating blanket, so I'm fairly warm eight now, although it's terribly cold outside.

I came home after the holiday to see a few inches of snow and ice out on my patio deck. Really glad I spent the holiday with my BFF and her family. The gorge winds really factor in during any type of weather, so I agree with Gemme about wind chill factors.

Right now, it's 30* with fairly dense fog.

[Kobi]

It is 21, with a wind chill of 10.

Have so many layers on, Im not sure I can bend to get in the car. This will be interesting.

[MsTinkerbelly]

When I walked the dog this morning the wind chill was -12*.

Currently it is 5* wind chill -4*....the high expected is 10*

:praying:

[Chad]

40 degrees and rainy in central Texas.

[BullDog]

It is 66 degrees and sunny. It was nice to be out in the sun running errands.
The next few days will be up into the 70's. I am enjoying this while it lasts because it's supposed to get really cold on New Year's Eve. Fortunately, winter doesn't last that long here in SE New Mexico.

[Gemme]

It feels like -5 right now.

Brrrr.....

[homoe]

Rain and high 50's temps but starting at 6pm there is a high wind warning that goes into effect until 4 am Saturday morning! Hope we don't lose power!


I notice the sun is setting at 4:26 so we've already gained a few added minutes of daylight!

[Clyde]

Cold, with an expectation of cold, followed by cold and then cold. So yeah, cold.

[EnchantedNightDweller]

Heater on and socks instead of flip flops in Texas - although I did see teens in shorts at Walmart last night. lol

[MsTinkerbelly]

Currently 21* (feels like 15*)
Tomorrow it will be 11* with a low of -1*

It is cold!

[Bootsandheels]

Well...I went home to MT for Christmas and there are now 2 winter storms that have kept me here 2 days passed my planned visit! Hopefully tomorrow will be better but the forecast is not so great so I may have to stay a 3rd day!

[Kobi]

Still abnormally cold but with the sun and decreased winds, it didnt feel too bad today.

Snowed overnight. Winter weather advisory in effect for Sat, Sun, and Monday.
Have 1 errand to run in the morning, then its hunker down time for 3 days.

[Deborah*]

Abormally cold. Tonight it's going to be about 10 degrees below freezing.

Time for hot tea, and hot broth, and actually everything hot to drink!

Deborah

[Chad]

23 degrees and overcast in central Texas.

:cold:

[Kobi]

It is 10 degrees with a wind chill of -1. Snow showers in the a.m. seems to becoming a daily thing.

Who is hogging the heat?

[VintageFemme]

It's 21° and with the wind chill, it feels like 16° the Dallas/Ft Worth metroplex. No snow though; bright sunny first day of the year. Bundling up and heading out to play!

[Deborah*]

23 degrees and overcast in central Texas.

:cold:
And 23 F is equal to -5 C. Really cold, especially when considering that central Texas is typically 40 F/4.44 C. We're lucky in central Texas with our winter weather temperatures.. except this year!! Freakish cold weather.

Deborah

[JDeere]

32 degrees here in Houston. Nw side that is.

32 degrees here in Houston. Nw side that is.

I wish it was 32 F/zero C. here in Austin!

Here in Austin, it's been record-breaking cold. Awful!

I knew the forecast was for this record-breaking cold weather, and so I went shopping for groceries before the weather got bad.
The nice thing is I ran into Gene Simmons (of KISS band) and his lady friend when I was shopping for groceries. I figure he was in town for the holiday weekend.

Its getting colder as time goes on. Its 28 now. The high for today will be 31. Houston doesnt see these temps often. I like it.

Balmy, simply balmy.........we're at -16 actual temp here near Montreal.

[Gemme]

It's supposed to feel like zero by 11am this morning, just to slide back down the mercury. The weather reports for Thursday made me happier as it looks like we'll get the lighter end of the snow dump.

*crossing my fingers that that holds*

[Spirit Dancer]

22 degrees in Florida Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Kobi]

22 in Florida? Oy.

Still in the teens here. Wind chill is above 0 tho.

Tomorrow will seem like a heat wave during the day with temps in the 30's.

Tomorrow night is a winter storm watch with snow, coastal flooding and high wind watches as well.

And then cuz it hasnt been enough fun thus far....the temps drop back into the single digits with wind chills in the minus double figures for Friday and Saturday. So, all will be turning into a skating rink.

Glad I had a new battery installed in the car 2 weeks ago. Finally got an appt to have an automatic starter installed......in 3 weeks. LOL. Nothing like a brutal cold spell to make for a brisk business increase.

Now Im just hoping the power doesnt go out during all this. Having electric heat is a pain.

[Chad]

26 degrees and sleeting in central Texas.

Texans can't drive on ice we need a break. I had to drive on ice to get home tonight. Yucky! Wreaks everywhere.

[Kobi]

When I opened the weather program this am, it said it was 46 degrees! It had auto-defaulted to the weather in France again but it was nice to see!

Here in New England......it is 16 degrees and there is a blizzard warning from 1 am Thursday to 1 am Friday.

I'm thinking of trying to get a flight to France.

It was beautiful today! Sunny. Temps in the 30's. Felt rather balmy....until the sun went down.

The blizzard warning for this area has been cancelled. Winter storm warning still in effect. From what they are saying, it sounds like a typical, swift moving nor'easter for us. The end of the storm ushers in the brutal cold again for 3 more days.

I'm getting too old for this shit. LOL.

[BullDog]

The bitter cold has gone for now. It got down to 6 degrees one night, but now we are supposed to have 50s and 60s during the day and 20s and 30s at night here in SE New Mexico for the next 10 days. I can live with that!

I was talking to Shy and she said they were getting a bomb cyclone. I said, what the heck is that? A snowstorm hurricane. Yikes. Stay safe everyone on the East Coast!

Lucky duck!

I know you don't live too far away but we're not as lucky. At least a foot of snow, blizzard conditions, 50+ mph winds and 'bombgenesis' is being thrown around again.

The storm's lagging in the ocean. Never a good sign.

And I'll be out in it, shoveling and trying to win over Mother Nature (never works).

I, too, am too old for this shit.

On a happy note, it will be above zero.

There is always good news and bad news.

You are on the snow side. The good news is the foot or so will be light and fluffy. Normally, that would be easier to shovel (or use a leaf blower on as our snow removal guys do) except for the high winds blowing it all over the place. The temps, from what I saw, will be decent during the day but dropping in the evening, back to even more brutal cold that we have had thus far. The cold and the winds are expected to continue thru most of Sunday. Everything that falls is going to freeze solid until the temps moderate come Sunday night.

Raimondo was impressive when she talked about the state's readiness for this and her readiness to declare a state of emergency if needed. Safer to close stuff and order people off the roads than to deal with all the frozen snow/ice that will be out there.

Please be careful and safe out there.

I'm on the rain/snow line and far enough out, I think, to be mostly rain. If we do get some snow, it will be wet and heavy - not exactly what you want on trees and power lines when you are expecting wind gusts around 70. We too will be getting the return of the brutal cold tomorrow night. So everything here will be encased in ice if it is mostly rain. They are anticipating widespread power outages here and have warned power may not be able to be restored for several days due to the high winds. That will be a bummer. The electric company already did their warning phone call this evening. Havent heard from the towns emergency management yet.

The good news is, there is an opportunity for several days of snuggling, cuddling, and canoodling. :)

[Kobi]

It was eerily silent and calm when I woke up. That lasted for an hour.

Now the rain is flooding the roadways, and the winds are rattling the windows. I'm ignoring the stuff thumping on the roof. I am going to have to go retrieve the the stuff that broke free and thumped down the stairs tho.

Goods news is the temps are in the low 40's at the moment!

Gemme, I trust you are monitoring the reports and are aware something shifted in the track. The expected "light and fluffy" for your area is now "not so light and not so fluffy". Shoveling is going to be a chore. Please be careful out there.

[easygoingfemme]

Cold and snowing here. Expecting 6 inches- so not too bad. But the next few days are hovering around -12 to -1 degree high and lows. Bundling up to say the least. My poor dog is miserable when he needs to go out but he sure is making fast business of his business.

[Lyte]

I'm back in shorts people! It's a balmy 38 degrees!!


Not! :blink:

[Gayandgray]

I shoveled enough snow to clear a path out back for my dogs to go out. Well about an hour after that, it looked like I had never even shoveled! Still steady snowing and the wind blowing snow EVERYWHERE. The Blizzard of 2018 is outside my door as we speak, and thank the Goddess I only work weekends at my job! So for the first time in a long time, I get to be snowed in with my spouse and our dogs and just sip hot cocoa and relax. :tea:

[Esme nha Maire]

It's official, I've become a bit of a wimp regarding cold weather! 3 degrees C here this morning, with a 16kph wind, and despite being pretty well wrapped up, I felt cold, rather than pleasantly cool.

Sigh. Ah well, it's still better than getting overheated! :-}

-13 this morning. -21 tomorrow morning. Frostbite setting in within 30 minutes aaaaand I have a ton to do outside today. Looks like it's going to be 15 in and 15 out, rinse, lather and repeat.

[girl_dee]

15F in South Carolina. i’m hibernating

[Clyde]

One more day of "Polar Whoretex" then it looks like 20's 30's and 40's (!) for the next 10 days! BTW, I play this "game" with myself where I take screenshots of the lowest temp of the season, and replace it when it goes lower. The rule is that the sun must have risen in order for it to qualify. Last year, was 9 degrees lowest. This year so far, -1. Right now it's -2 so I'm gonna hang out to see if it holds for another few minutes till official sunrise. SO EXCITING.

Hi all from the freezing Jersey Shore. OK we have our blizzard and now I want it to go away ! :whoop:

i grew up on the connecticut side of long island sound, spent many hours at the beach, and i have never seen a phenomenon like the "bomb cyclone"

p.s. i was always taught salt water cannot freeze...apparently it can! (at 28.4F)

[JDeere]

48 degrees with sun in nw houston.

[*Anya*]

I can't believe the horrible snow and blizzard conditions all of you are experiencing.

Stay warm and safe.

Our weather in California is comfortable, I will leave it at that but will say that according to CALFIRE, the Thomas fire is still going, albeit, almost out.

Thomas Fire Incident Information:
Last Updated: January 03, 2018 9:03 am
Date/Time Started: December 04, 2017 6:28 pm
Administrative Unit: US Forest Service - Los Padres National Forest
County: Santa Barbara County, Ventura County
Location: Hwy 150 and Hwy 126, north of Santa Paula
Acres Burned - 281,893 acres - 92% contained
Structures Destroyed: 1,063 Structures Destroyed, 280 Structures Damaged

We still have no rain in sight in So. CA.

[Kobi]

It is 7 degrees with a wind chill of minus 6. It says here there will be am clouds and pm sun.

Sooooo, I'm guessing the snow that is currently falling must be a figment of my imagination. I am not shoveling so my imagination better knock it off.

70 degrees and cloudy in central Texas.

After the power was out for 7 plus hours this morning and the inside temp kept dropping (one bedroom down to 42°) it's taken all day to get the livingroom back up to 59°. That's toasty compared to what it was at 9am when everything came back on and stayed on.

[VintageFemme]

59 and raining in north Texas.

68 right now with clouds. Its supposed to rain later this evening.

[*Anya*]

17 people killed in the mudslides, 17 still unaccounted for. 100 homes destroyed. 1500 homes still threatened.

500 search and rescue first responders out today with 10 search dogs.

The news just said that they are now calling it search and recovery instead of rescue.

In a usual bizarre twist here in Southern California, it is clear today with a high of 75. By next Wednesday (according to ABC News), it will be up to 81.

We have fires, then rain, then mudslides, then no rain and the cycle starts again.

:candle:

[Kobi]

This morning it was 57 with bright sunshine and no wind. Was actually able to sit at the beach today dressed only in shorts and a light jacket. For weeks, as far as the eye could see, the ocean was a sheet of ice. Today you could actually see water in the distance.

However, that deteriorated into heavy rain and winds this afternoon. The flood advisory was discontinued but wind warnings are back.

Rain will continue but temps will hold until late tomorrow when they drop steadily down to the 20's and 30's.

Thinking tomorrow nights Patriots game is going to be a frozen mud fest.

[Clyde]

The calm before the storm... it's 45ish and drizzly. We are expecting a wallop of 9" - 17" of snow, which I think means they don't really know.

[QueenofSmirks]

Amazing - 73 degrees. I love Phoenix!

South Carolina - 55 degrees and on second full day or rain and fog...

Bring it Mother Nature.

[Gemme]

Flood warning in full effect here. We're on our 2nd or 3rd inch of rain on top of about 16 inches of snow. We're probably going to get about another inch of rain before it's done.

Luckily, I bought DC a two person camping raft so if We need it, it's there.

It was about 60 degrees here today and and raining and flooding out all the snow. Hope it doesn't all freeze over tonight though. I had my window open listening to the rain for a while, it was nice.

[Gemme]

It's around 50 now but will plunge to 15 in a flash freeze. We're also expecting up to 9 inches of snow this Thursday and then another 5 or so a few days after that. I knew we were in for a steady winter since the last one was so mild.

Phooey.

[Chad]

27 degrees and dropping. Currently we have sleet/snow and the roads are icy. Most schools and businesses have closed. Central Texas is closed today.
