Well I serviced the snowblower and my wife bought me a new set of Sorels and guess what....it snowed. Maybe I should have put off servicing the snowblower?
We got 5" of new snow yesterday and last night it was a tropical -8f (yeah that's a minus sign). It's noon now and only 26f.
I have a bird feeder outside my office window and I'm looking out at a large covey of quail that frequent the feeder. Those little dudes must have antifreeze for blood! How they can stay out in that cold all night is beyond my comprehension. :?
Wow, Steve, that's cold!
Here in central Illinois, it's 65 today and forecast is for 20's and snow tomorrow. Yuck.
Where is home Steve?
Here in Central Texas it is 73 degrees at 2:45PM and raining with a front on the way (shorts, t-shirt and flip-flops right now). Mid 30's tonight, high in the low 40's tomorrow and tomorrow night in the low 20's. Nice weather is on its way out. I guess we can't complain, we almost never see the single digits.
Get this...
So i'm Canadian, in Ontario to be more specific... and it's 14 degrees c --> which is about 57 or 58 fahrenheit for you American folks. :winkin:
There's global warming for you, it's unheard of being this warm in november/december... the average for this time of year is about 2, of 36 fahrenheit.
...it's going to be warmer here than in central Texas soon. haha.
Aboss :guitar
If you don't like the weather wait a day. It was miserable here yesterday with freezing rain and high winds but actually fairly pleasant today. I don't know about global warming but I accept climate change. How would I know what's "normal" in geological terms? I've only been here 55 years. People keeping track? A couple of hundred years. Who knows? Change is inevitable one way or another.
On the bottom bit of the globe we hit a humid 33C - about 90F?
...and this is just the beginning - late Jan/ Feb is the hot part of summer. Stay warm up there!

While we may be experiencing above average temps in Ontario, I heard on the radio that we set a record for this date
one year ago today! Is this the new average??? Not so lucky in western Canada, however, where they are setting new records for lows...and no, I'm not delusional. I know it will all end soon, but the good news is - no need to worry about humidity levels yet!

The coupe Vanier (canadian college football cup) finals was this weekend in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and it was -21ºC (-5.8F). So I guess global warming doesn't apply there. :arrow
BTW The Rouge et Or won, go Université Laval go! :laughin:

Poor Victoria, British Columbia...they got a foot of snow..oh ya...the city has no snow removing equipment and no one owns shovels.
They're not having a good time right now.
Here in Bc it is around -20 c with the wind chill,we are expecting about another 6" of snow,which we plan on sending back to :cheersOntario for some reason our weather seems to be transported out East,we are the ones on the West coast that have flower blooms on our trees out here in late December and early January :humour:so do n0pot worry out East we will send some of this stuff your way really soon :+1:.louis......ps our ski hills are all open
In New England its 56 degrees, but damp so it feels colder. Still, its been a warm fall.
This evenings it's 11 with nice white stuff everywhere. :thumb

Here in Oxnard it's in the 60's F...at night.
I am wearing shorts, a T-shirt and flip flops. Hmmmmmm...do you s'pose that's why the Larrivee's moved here?
Oh yeah...the red snappers and ling cod are biting at the Channel Islands....can life get any better?
It got up to around 72F today. Tomorrow is suppose to be about the same temperature, then Friday the high is supposed to be 41. Thats Tennessee for you. :rolleyes:
Seattle weather....18f this morning warming up to 30f tonight with freezing rain. We had some snow (not much...but enough to close schools for the week and cause tons of damage from folks sliding on ice) My snow blower (hey I used to live in Ontario) was ruined in last weeks floods (along with all my cabin possessions :{ . ) My guitar humidifier is running strong and my cabin dehumidifier even stronger!

This was my morning chuckle... I have to laugh when you guys on the left coast get "not much" snow and the schools are closed for the week.
:tongue:
-37c yesterday, -15c and snowing today.
It was -35c most of the week , the humidity in the house was around 30%, very dry. We've had to have the fireplace raging all week , so the L-05 has been in the case with the humidifier. After about 20 minutes of playing, the fret tangs start polking out and ripping the skin off my hand!!! But after a quick trusstrod turn, it's really settled in and is playing superbly!!! My larry seems to play/sound it's best in the winter for some reason.
CHEERS!!!
was about 82 f (26.6c) in the shade today. about 48% humidity
Here in Jincheon, Korea it's 31 degrees F and snowing.
Back home it's 57 degrees and sunny..I WANNA GO HOME!
oG
Here in NH it's been very mild, yesterday hit 65', but thats all suppossed to change this weekend with more seasonal weather coming in. Highs in the 30's Low in the teens.
In West Central Wisconsin it is 28.6F and not a lick of snow to be seen. It's disgusting! We had 8" the first week of November and then record highs for the week of Thanksgiving.
Never did care for snowblowers--I like the acoustic approach.
Here in Ohio we've got 40 MPH winds and the air temp is somewhere near disgusting considering the wind chill(12°F).
Who ever said we are having a warm winter doesn't live in the high desert pine trees of Oregon.
-12F (-24C) last night and only 14F (-10) at noon today. That's cold enough to make it hurt when I go outside! :crying:
We've had a very mild winter so far here in New Hampshire. 40' today, 65' one day last week. It's supposed to get colder next week. I've always enjoyed the Winter but I'm not complaining about this years weather.
it was close to 70 today and then about 3 or 4 hours ago it drop to low 40's and is still going down here in Tx
Vancouver -10C ish last few days, but it's a wet cold (+wind). Brrrrrrr :yawn
It's only around -5°C here at the moment but I just spent an double my usual drive time getting in to work this morning through snow and feezing rain. That just makes it a 2 coffee drive and fortunately I have Tim Hortons (Coffee and Donut Shop) strategically located all along my driving route. :donut2 :donut :donut2 :coffee

Ottawa's getting snow, around 5-10cm but no freezing rain or ice pellets...gonna get colder this afternoon (-9°C) and tonight...-19°C...that's around -2°F. The high tomorrow is going to be -15°C...winter has finally arrived but for how long??? Nothing goes better with the cold than a Timmy's and a fritter or two! :coffee :donut :donut
When I got up yesterday (the 18th) morning, it was -21c at the airport, -32 with the wind (-25F). Today its -4 (+25 F). We had 17cm of snow earlier this week. Yet it has been a very mild and dry winter. I was biking on Jan 7th. I have never been on a road bike in Jauary in my life (I'm 50). I even managed to take a picture of a guy jogging in his shorts! Normally I would be cross country skiing. I have not been out yet although a few centers have finally opened, albeit with very limited access. I was going to buy another pari of ski's to add to my collection this year (a pair of skate skis) but given the short seasons we've had the last two years (due to rain which freezes which causes dangerous conditions which causes x-country centers to close!) I decided agianst it. Too much $ for a few outings. I guess I'm going to have to stay home on Sundays and practice my guitar. Good for my fingers, not for my waist/heart/lungs!

Right around freezing here in Dallas
A few weeks ago, as I was putting up the Christmas lights, I actually saw a MOSQUITO here in New Jersey! Our lovely stretch of warm weather lasted until just a few days ago. At first I thought it would be just a few cold days followed by more of the balmy weather I'd become accustomed to but, alas, it seems the weather reports are forecasting more cold weather.
Temperatures have been in low 30's F daytime and around 20 F at night here. Windy too. We even had a dusting of snow a couple of nights this week. I know that sounds warm to some of you folks living out where it gets truly cold but when the temperature has been in the 50's, 60's, and even 70's, then suddenly drops into the 20's and teens, the effect seems to be "augmented" ( to borrow a verb from our Secretary of State :winkin: ).
My hygrometer has dropped 5% RH in the past week. It's still in the safe range at 45% RH but I'll be bringing the room humidifier up from the basement just in case the whole house humidifier doesn't maintain RH at acceptable levels.
I was so enjoying Spring but it looks like Winter has finally arrived here in the Northeast. :crying:
Oh, last Thursday was a SNOW day, no school for my boys. We almost got a whole inch of snow (North Carolina snow woosies). Then on Friday, school was delayed 2 hours because it was too cold out (they were worried about ice).
My boys called the snow day "the best day of my life".
Who says global warming is a bad thing? :humour:

If they closed school around here because of ice the kids would get the entire winter off! I think we only have late openings if we get more than 6 inches but no snow days unless we are buried. They just chain up all the buses and go for it.
Right now, it's 1 degree F. with a slight wind. Probably 3 " of snow on the ground with 8" of ice in the rivers and lakes so far this year. I must be getting old cause I've got 3 snowsleds I haven't ridden for 2 years and I'm not in any hurry to either. The saying goes around here that if you don't like the weather, hang around a few minutes. :nana_guitar
