How's the Weather?

by **mr dragon** on Mon Mar 08, 2010 1:23 pm

It was still a tad cold today, but sunny as well. Such a pleasure to leave work with mild sunny weather. Can't believe it's the 8th March already...

by **SilverMiniCooperS** on Mon Mar 08, 2010 5:48 pm

Low sixties and rain on and off all day. :smt006

'sposed to be nice and dry and warm tomorrow :smt003

by **SilverMiniCooperS** on Tue Mar 09, 2010 12:26 pm

It was cold again today. The weather's messin' with us here.

Rrrrr.

I took the day off...and it was beautiful out! Sunny and warm- didn't wear a coat to go to lunch at Red Robin with the hubs today. Supposed to rain the rest of the week, but it'll be warm.

by **Mr Retro** on Tue Mar 09, 2010 6:58 pm

It was dreadful today. Bone chilling cold exasperated by a howling strong gusty wind.

by **kitchenwitch** on Tue Mar 09, 2010 8:13 pm

It's raining now, but today was gorgeous. THe sun was out and it was in the 50s. I had my windows down and the radio cranked up riding around town today. Spring might actually be on its way.

by **mr dragon** on Wed Mar 10, 2010 2:47 pm

It was f'ing cold today. All day! Dragon didn't like it.

by **ukus** on Wed Mar 10, 2010 3:06 pm

Low 70's at the mo and we might get a 75ºF tomorrow afternoon .... my windows are open :smt023

by **SilverMiniCooperS** on Wed Mar 10, 2010 4:10 pm

Mine have been open since early this morning - 77 and luvvly jubbly!

by **mr dragon** on Thu Mar 11, 2010 3:25 pm

Cold again!

Brrr...

by **wakeyboy** on Thu Mar 11, 2010 3:36 pm

Sunny, calm and still. Had to still wear a coat, but could wear it open! wow. :smt012

by **mr dragon** on Thu Mar 11, 2010 4:02 pm

Is it warm up there at the moment Wakey? I was fuckin' cold this morning! It was a little better tonight. Mind you I went for a bevy or two near Carnaby Street with some colleagues before I came home- so maybe the alcohol was making me feel warm....

by **kitchenwitch** on Fri Mar 12, 2010 8:00 am

Rainy and overcast, but unusually warm for this time of year. We hit the low 60s yesterday and are supposed to again today. They weather guessers are making noises about more snow next weekend. I knew it was too good to be done with the snow for the year. :smt010

by **Mr Retro** on Fri Mar 12, 2010 8:05 am

Sunny this morning, but still very cold. It's somewhere in the upper 30ºF's. Someone please tell mother nature enough already, turn up the thermostat. This had been the longest, coldest winter in the 10 years I've lived here.

by **bll** on Fri Mar 12, 2010 11:44 am

Wow, we're warmer than you, Tom. It only went down in the 50s last night and we're in the mid 60s right now. The sun is trying to peek out, but we're to get rain all weekend.

by **Caer Ibormeith** on Fri Mar 12, 2010 11:54 am

Damp, windy and a chilly 45 degrees. We're supposed to get a Nor'Easter this weekend that lasts until sometime on Monday. Yet another slow moving storm in a string of them. On the bright side, it's all rain. On the down side, flooding is going to be a problem both on the coasat and inland.

I'm venturing out to lunch and a play on Sunday, which I've been looking forward to for months. The tickets were a gift from one of my professors.

by **SilverMiniCooperS** on Fri Mar 12, 2010 12:00 pm

It cooled off for us - again. Last night in the 40s and even now its only up to 61 and a brisk north wind.

by **JuanaLaLoca** on Mon Mar 15, 2010 12:49 pm

Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, UGH!!!!!!

It's been raining since Friday and no signs of letting up yet. Pouring rain, and heavy winds. With the soggy ground and the winds, much danger of trees falling over - one man was killed on Route 93 when a pine tree fell on his car. The Shawsheen River, which I live near, is going to be the most flooded of all the flooding rivers in the area, with record levels, expected to be over three feet above flood level. I had to drive through part of it where it had come over the road on my way to the grocery store this afternoon; thought I'd better get there before the road is completely closed. I live about a block or so away from the river, but I don't think it will reach the condos (knock on wood). It's quite a sight to be driving along the road and see the river right up to the same level right next to you, as well as other wet areas at the same level. On my way to work this morning, I saw a pair of mallards swimming in someone's front lawn! The small stream, usually practically dried up, that runs through the woods in back of my mother's house was a rushing torrent when I was over there yesterday, easily three to four feet across - we've never seen it like that in the almost 40 years we've lived there. Later on it's supposed to turn to snow (in the 30s now).

On the bright side, when it's all over, we're supposed to have a few days of sun, and temps up in the 60s by the end of the week.

I might take tomorrow off. With the rivers expected to crest tonight (although I think it's been raining longer than they expected, so who knows how high they will go), it might be tough getting anywhere tomorrow. My usual back roads were starting to flood this morning, and when I went on the highway at lunchtime, there were plenty of areas where the water was also right up level with the road.

by **tonyrockyhorror** on Mon Mar 15, 2010 1:05 pm

We got rocked Sat. all day, trees down all over the place, people killed by falling trees :smt009

, power lost, (but not me :smt003

) the wind was so fierce, my house was humming, lots of flooding.

I lost two 30-40' pines :smt015

by **ukus** on Mon Mar 15, 2010 1:39 pm

Just poppin' in quickly to say I was thinking about you guys over there ....Sandy too, hope she is OK.

by **mr dragon** on Mon Mar 15, 2010 2:11 pm

It's the reverse here. It's been really bloody nice today. Very mild and pleasant, the sun out. Probably the best day we've had here this year so far....But I wont speak to soon ;-)

by **SilverMiniCooperS** on Mon Mar 15, 2010 2:54 pm

We've had gorgeous weather the past several days - open window weather. But the weatherman on the telly just told us we could get a frost this weekend - that's almost unheard of this late for us. :smt006

by **JuanaLaLoca** on Wed Mar 17, 2010 8:23 am

I did take yesterday off and it was gorgeous - I'm glad I did so that I got the chance of seeing the sun and opening the windows, instead of being cooped up where I can barely get a glance of the top of a window. It was cold this morning, though - in the 30s and there was frost on the cars and a lot of the standing water from the storm and flooding was frozen. Now it's up to 58 and supposed to get up into the 60s. I think that Saturday is supposed to be almost 70!
:smt003

by **Druid 2156** on Wed Mar 17, 2010 8:26 pm

It's been in the 60s all week so far, even since Sunday. But come Friday the weather people are saying rain with a mix of snow. Not nice I say! :smt010

But Gaia can't be rushed on spring. It hits officially at 1242pm central time. Won't come soon enough for me!

by **wakeyboy** on Thu Mar 18, 2010 6:55 am

Sunny, and mild. There was some warmth out of the shade. Lovely.

I took my mum and gran to Leeds market (outdoor and indoor) because my gran doesnt go out much and she usually wont go anywhere too far away. Surprised she went to /leeds to be honest. Preferring her comfort zones of Cas, Normy and Wakey.

I survived the deluge, Karen, although it was a bit of a swamp for the play on Sunday. It was worth slogging through, though. The play was good and lunch was delicious.

I still can't believe Southie (South Boston) held it's annual St. Patrick's Day Parade on Sunday. Everyone and everything must have been completely waterlogged. Pipers in waterlogged kilts may have been worth getting wet for, though.

by **ukus** on Fri Mar 19, 2010 11:37 am

Glad you are OK ..... what was the play about?

by **waterbeetle** on Fri Mar 19, 2010 12:09 pm

After a work week of nice weather...the weekend comes and so does the rain/sleet/crap weather :smt015

by **Mr Retro** on Fri Mar 19, 2010 12:15 pm

It's been rather pleasant the last two days in the upper 70ºF's. I still need my jacket in the morning, but not for long. It seems spring wants to spring. But I won't hold my breath as I've been fooled (& disappointed) before.

by **Caer Ibormeith** on Fri Mar 19, 2010 12:40 pm

ukus wrote:Glad you are OK ..... what was the play about?

Thanks.

The play is a classic American drama called "Paradise Lost." It was written by Clifford Odets during the height of the Depression about a middle class family in New York trying to keep their heads above water. It's less depressing than it sounds and the dialogue rings so true right now. The acting was wonderful, but the set and lighting design were pretty amatuerish and disjointed at times, but that's just my director's opinion coming through. :smt002

It's been beautful here since Tuesday, and the rain KW and WB are getting now should hold off until Monday sometime.

by **tonyrockyhorror** on Fri Mar 19, 2010 12:51 pm

75 beautiful degrees, sunny skies, hardly a whisper of wind.

My cat's on an all day snoozer.

Haven't seen a robin yet, I think they're at least a week late.

A few days ago, WB said in one of the game threads that spring had sprung, and I expressed some skepticism. Guess I was right - this morning I woke up and it was snowing!!! Glad I didn't put away my winter things yet!

by **Mr Retro** on Fri Mar 26, 2010 7:06 am

It's the same schizophrenic-like weather here. We had a coupla nice & pleasant days in the upper 70ºF's this week. Now it's very windy and on the cool side. Brrrr

It's hard to believe Easter is a week from Sunday. I just hope I don't have to wear a wool coat like I did last year.

by **Caer Ibormeith** on Tue Mar 30, 2010 6:27 am

The weather is abysmal here. Another Nor'Easter is bringing more rain to already flooded areas. I don't envy the people who live close to rivers. There has been lots of damage in southeasatern Massachusetts, and many people have been evacuated from their homes. The National Guard is trying to shore up rivers (still swollen from the last two storms) that have reached flood stage again, and the Governor has declared a state of emergency. I'm just lucky that I live on very high ground.

How are you holding up, Juana?

It's supposed to be sunny and in the 70s later this week. Can't wait.

by **kitchenwitch** on Tue Mar 30, 2010 7:06 am

Yeah, you east coasters take care.

It's going to be gorgeous here this week, and they're talking about it pushing 80° by Friday.

I'm ok, but it's getting depressing. It's tough to get up early anyway, and even tougher when it's barely light. It's been raining like crazy since Sunday night, but so far the road closures I saw the last two storms have not occurred (knock on wood). I think I had mentioned that I had seen a pair of mallards swimming in someone's front yard a few weeks ago - they were back today! It's still supposed to rain through tomorrow, isn't it?

Weather fit for a duck about says it all.

Rain through tomorrow morning, and sunshine by the end of the week. The ground will be saturated for quite awhile, though.

by **JuanaLaLoca** on Tue Mar 30, 2010 8:45 am

I better not hear any talk about a drought anytime soon!!! :smt006

by **SilverMiniCooperS** on Tue Mar 30, 2010 9:00 am

I saw all the floods on the news this morning including the resucue of one family from a house they had just moved into. They were told the area flooded but didn't think it would be that bad!!! Hello!

Take care all of you who live up there.

by **bll** on Tue Mar 30, 2010 2:17 pm

It's mid 50s and sunny today, with a warm up by week's end. Hopefuly the sunshine is on its way to all you rain soaked Roundies.

by **tonyrockyhorror** on Tue Mar 30, 2010 2:22 pm

Got about 6" of rain today, what a deluge.

Flooding all over the Island.

The ground is so saturated, water came into my basement through the water service entrance and that's about 4-5' below the surface.

by **mr dragon** on Tue Mar 30, 2010 3:01 pm

We got rain here, most of the day. My thoughts were: Rain, rain, go away, come back again another fucking another day. I got bleedin' soaked when I walked to the bus stop when I went shopping this afternoon. I did, however, buy myself another brolly today. I gave my last one, when it was on it's last legs- to a homeless person, so it probably was about time I got another. Dragon and brolly's don't seem to last for too long together in one another's presence. We'll see how long this lil' bugger stays with me...

by **SilverMiniCooperS** on Tue Mar 30, 2010 3:11 pm

A Chamber of Commerce day here today. 79, low humidity and nothing but blue, blue sky. I have all the windows open. If only it could be like this all year, with an occasional rain to keep all the new growth growing.
