How's the Weather?

by **mr dragon** on Sun Jan 17, 2010 2:37 pm

It's completely thawed here since last week- we had one more snowfall one night which didn't settle. As I said before, I think we were pretty lucky where I am, I don't think it got below 2 degrees at the very worst. Though some other parts of the UK weren't so lucky...

by **Mr Retro** on Fri Jan 22, 2010 2:35 pm

Here is the aftermath of a major storm that we endured for the last 4 days...and more to come!

Nice pics.

I always get a hankering to go to the US again when I see scene scapes like that.

Gorgeous pics Tom.

Lovely here cool nights and warm days.

by **Druid 2156** on Sat Jan 23, 2010 8:53 pm

Freezing rain here. High was about 35F.

by **mr dragon** on Sun Jan 24, 2010 5:16 am

Mild here, has been for a few days. It's still a little cold though.

by **JuanaLaLoca** on Mon Jan 25, 2010 8:27 am

Today it's in the 50's and we're going to have really heavy rain and wind. Back in the 20s by the end of the week, though.

If you don't like the weather in New England, wait a minute. :smt002

I'm just glad the storm today is rain and not snow.

by **kitchenwitch** on Tue Jan 26, 2010 7:43 am

It's been lightly snowing here. That January thaw is over and it's back to winter as usual.

That's headed our way in a few hours. It's sort of snowing, sleeting, raining right now

Same here. Although I've seen some sun today since ages! Since a few days before X-mas I've seen hardly anything else than snow!

by **SilverMiniCooperS** on Thu Jan 28, 2010 1:32 pm

WB - just keep in mind that Spring is only 50+ days away!!!!

It's cool here now but after tonight it will get Fucking cold!!!!! here too.

by **JuanaLaLoca** on Thu Jan 28, 2010 1:52 pm

It's been snowing off and on since noon, but nothing is sticking, thank goodness! It's 32 now.

by **Persephone** on Thu Jan 28, 2010 11:37 pm

Today: rain, but more snow to come (they predict)

Just a little snow in the centre now.

Yes Indeed. And it shall be that way fro a couple of days. BRRRRRRRR!

by **JuanaLaLoca** on Fri Jan 29, 2010 8:28 am

I ran into a snow squall on my home yesterday. Almost all the way home with nothing going on, and then in a split second, almost zero visibility and the snow instantly stuck to and covered the road! It was wild!

Today it is frigid (now 13, up from 11), and very, very windy.

by **bll** on Fri Jan 29, 2010 10:17 am

We're 'up' to 11, but with the wind it is subzero; luckily I haven't any appointments today, which is good as I'm a bit under the weather.

by **ukus** on Fri Jan 29, 2010 6:50 pm

Hope you feel better soon Barbara.

Very windy and chilly here tonight.

You might be interested to know it's a wolf moon out there tonight Sandy.

Tonight's full moon will be the biggest and brightest full moon of the year. It offers anyone with clear skies an opportunity to identify easy-to-see features on the moon.
This being the first full moon of 2010, it is also known as the wolf moon, a moniker dating back to Native American culture and the notion that hungry wolves howled at the full moon on cold winter nights. Each month brings another full moon name.

by **mr dragon** on Sat Jan 30, 2010 4:04 pm

It was a bit colder here tonight as well, though I haven't seen snow for weeks now. Possibly an advantage of Britain being effected by the Gulf Stream, and London's always about 2 degrees warmer than the rest of the country anyway. Either way can't believe there's still snow in the same latitude in Europe.

by **SilverMiniCooperS** on Sun Jan 31, 2010 9:52 am

No snow but its bloody cold here. 35 yesterday all day and much the same today all day. :smt010

by **bll** on Sun Jan 31, 2010 1:16 pm

Thirty five would be welcome here. It is sunny today and we might get up to twenty by late afternoon.

by **kitchenwitch** on Sun Jan 31, 2010 6:41 pm

At least it's been sunny, not that it made it any warmer, it just looked that way if you didn't go outside.

by **kitchenwitch** on Wed Feb 03, 2010 8:39 am

Snowing again. It's the real pretty fluffy stuff that sticks to the trees, but I'm over it.
I'm all for an early warm up, regardless of the predictions of woodchucks.

by **JuanaLaLoca** on Wed Feb 03, 2010 8:50 am

We had a light dusting of snow this morning, but it looks like the sun is coming out now. It's currently 26.

Cold, wet and miserable!

We had a rain/snow mix a couple of days ago, but now it's just snow. It's been a real bitch driving those buses in this mess. Merry Imbolc/Bridget's Fire KW & WB.

I just saw this Karen. My inner wolf was definitely howling last Friday. :smt002

For all our roundies in the DC, Northern Virginia, Philadelphia and Baltmore area: Stay warm and safe this weekend. A monster of a storm is heading your way.

by **SilverMiniCooperS** on Fri Feb 05, 2010 10:41 am

Yeah, we've had that storm in the form of rain for the last several days!

Sssssshhhhhhhh - don't say a word, but the sun is actually out right now. I need to go out for some vitamin D

by **bll** on Fri Feb 05, 2010 11:59 am

We're getting nailed right now; about 3 inches so far with some sleet mixed in just for fun. I'm taking a listing in the morning provided we're not under a snow emergency.

You have my sympathies. Luckily it's all gone to the south of us and is going to head on east as Caer noted. But the price we pay for skipping the snow are bloody effing cold temps for the next week.

by **bll** on Sat Feb 06, 2010 12:43 pm

Yeah, it's going to get cold here too. We ended up with a foot of snow; this fricking city doesn't bother ploughing residential streets, so I'm basically snowed in. Our clients are in the same boat so we rescheduled for Tuesday. John dug his van out and got in to work; the roads are crap because its really windy so everything is drifting. You would think a city this size would have better snow removal, especially since we regularly get snow, though usually not this much.

by **mr dragon** on Sat Feb 06, 2010 3:19 pm

We seem to have passed on from all the bad weather a while back. It's fairly mild here- at least in London, and has been for a while. I was reading today of the snow that hit Washington DC. Doesn't sound like some of the eastern seaboard of the US is having a lot of weather 'fun' right now.

Me and my BIG MOUTH. It's snowing again!

by **bll** on Mon Feb 08, 2010 12:20 pm

We're in a lull before the next storm, due tomorrow. According to the local paper and news outlets the city is busy clearing residential streets; I'd certainly like to know where as I saw no evidence on my side of town (and we're one of the larger areas, 67,000 people on the Hilltop). The weather folks are predicting another 5-8 inches tomorrow into Wednesday.

by **Caer Ibormeith** on Mon Feb 08, 2010 12:27 pm

We've been lucky since early January with no snowstorms worth mentioning. The stuff you're getting in Ohio, Barbara, will get here on Wednesday afternoon. Thankfully, my surgery is scheduled for 9:30am. I'm hoping to make it home before it starts. It's only going to be about 5-6 inches anyway, not unusual for New England in February.

by **SilverMiniCooperS** on Mon Feb 08, 2010 3:23 pm

We're about to get clobbered...there's a large line of deep red and purple headed straight for us. Then it will get bloody cold again.

by **mr dragon** on Mon Feb 08, 2010 4:07 pm

Good luck over there guys. I saw some pics of it today on the eastern side of the US. Five foot snow drifts- man, you have my sympathies. But put it this way- you can have a damn good snowball fight after it's settled!

by **Druid 2156** on Mon Feb 08, 2010 6:23 pm

We've had about a foot of snow since Sunday. And it's still snowing.

It's so beautiful to look at, Ben, but such a nightmare to deal with.

Stay safe out there everyone.

by **kitchenwitch** on Tue Feb 09, 2010 8:58 am

Snow. They're calling for 10-14 inches once all is said and done. Just another day in paradise.
At least it's not the 2 feet they got on the east coast.

by **bll** on Tue Feb 09, 2010 4:52 pm

We got about 6 inches so far today; roads are crappy per usual. We're in a small lull and then a Canadian front is pushing south and will dump another 8-12 inches on us over night and in to tomorrow. I look for all the schools to be closed, which means I'll be yelling at the neighbour's kids to stop throwing snowballs at my truck.

by **kitchenwitch** on Wed Feb 10, 2010 7:19 am

I think we're hovering around the 8 inch mark, but the snow is blowing around pretty good with a lot of wind.

I am proud of myself though, yesterday I learned to run the snow blower all by myself. While some of you may not think it's much of a feat, I deliberately made sure not to have anything to do with that bit of machinery because it is WB's and Mini WB's job to clear the drive. But now with Mini WB off to school I no longer have and indentured servant.

by **SilverMiniCooperS** on Wed Feb 10, 2010 10:40 am

..Mini WB must be so glad he ain't there right now!!

by **kitchenwitch** on Thu Feb 11, 2010 7:57 am

Oh I know he's not missing it.
I'm almost glad he's down south though because it always seemed to be the nights they called for snow or ice storms or just bad weather in general was when he decided there had to be a road trip to Grand Rapids or Chicago or somewhere in Ohio. It made me worry like crazy.

by **JuanaLaLoca** on Thu Feb 11, 2010 8:25 am

The weathermen had some 'splainin' to do last night! After frightening us all with predictions of a major nor'easter, we just got a dusting! Although some areas in the south and west of the state, and the Cape and Islands, did get more. I'm glad Caer didn't have to endure a major snowstorm while getting to and from her operation yesterday, after all.
