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 · 12-08-2017, 12:47 PM

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

girl_dee · 12-08-2017, 04:55 PM

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 · 12-08-2017, 06:57 PM

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

Chad · 12-08-2017, 07:00 PM

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 · 12-09-2017, 03:37 AM

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.

Esme nha Maire · 12-10-2017, 04:35 AM

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 · 12-10-2017, 07:05 AM

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 · 12-10-2017, 07:13 AM

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!

Esme nha Maire · 12-10-2017, 11:15 AM

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 · 12-10-2017, 01:38 PM

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* · 12-10-2017, 02:55 PM

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.

Chad · 12-16-2017, 02:30 PM

50 degrees and raining in central Texas.

cathexis · 12-16-2017, 07:57 PM

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.

*Anya* · 12-17-2017, 11:01 AM

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.

Kätzchen · 12-17-2017, 12:40 PM

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 · 12-17-2017, 02:01 PM

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

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.....
