"How's the weather out there?"...

[W4GPL]

A new all encompassing 'weather' thread. There's no requirement that you keep weather discussion here, but if you simply want to say how wet, cold, hot, or windy it is.. this is a great place to do it. :)

-------------------

Weather girlie on the talking box just told me there could be wind gusts up to 75mph today.

:lies:

I'm skeptical. Hurricane force winds and it's treated as a bullet point? Pshaw.

[KC2UGV]

Had gusts up to about 65mph last night, and it went from 54 to 23 overnight. Thankfully, the landlord and I learned his antenna mast, holding a 2 meter beam and rotator) will withstand the winds :)

[W2NAP]

cold. yesterday was a pain. 2 meter antenna is about to fall over. the 20-10 is damaged. all thanks to a 8ft 2x4

[w3bny]

45 partly cloudy and gusty (It rather it be 23 and busty but....)

[W2NAP]

also 3 confirmed tornadoes in Indiana yesterday

[K7SGJ]

18 here at the moment, but should rise to the mid 60s. Still got to cover the orange trees and, uh, well, the oregano.

[W5GA]

21 when I got up this morning. 70+ day before yesterday. Sunny, no rain/snow/sleet/ice in sight.

[WX7P]

Dry, dry, dry.

The most dry January in a long time. Currently 39 with no wind and no clouds. Our high yesterday was about 42 with low at 27 overnight.

We need RAIN!

[W2NAP]

not sure how i missed this when i was out earlier. but 1/2 the porch roof is gone.... seriously gone.

[NQ6U]

Been dry here after a rainy fall. We had a small amount of rain on Monday, about .2", but it's starting to look worrisome. Typical SoCal pattern for a La Niña winter though—wet fall, dry winter. Currently 39°F (4°C, 277°K) and sunny.

[ka4dpo]

It's currently 41 degrees and mostly sunny here in Leesburg. Wind is out of W/NW at 10-20 so it feels a little cooler.

[ki4itv]

No real winter in sight.
Beautiful, mild central VA cruising.

[N8YX]

Was almost 60 out this time yesterday.

Now it's 26.

The large amount of rain we had yesterday froze on the roads and an inch or so of snow on top of it made for an interesting commute.

[VE7DCW]

It's definately not a nice day here today! ....15 centimeters of snow came down over night ...... -4 degrees celsius apparently the weather will do an about face in 3 days when temperatures will warm up to 8 degrees celsius and melt this stuff quickly....... seems to be following the La Nina type pattern for this area

[n2ize]

Well, we had our biggest snow of the winter yesterday. In a few spots on the ground we had a massive whopping 1 - 2 millimeters of snow on the ground !! And man, did it last long !! It lasted almost an entire 30 minutes before it melted. Damned... this is one brutal rough winter.

And believe it or not I heard a couple of local guys on a 2 meter machine last night discussing how rough this winter has been and how tough it is going to be on heating costs... Huh ?? What ?? Were these guys around here last winter ? Last winter we had so much snow and ice piled up by now to the point where you could only walk in the middle of the road and when a car passed you had to stop walking and stand to the side so it could pass. Last winter I was wearing a heavy shirt, sweater, winter coat, fur lined hat, and I carried a fuel powered hand-warmer in my pocket. This winter I've barely needed more than a tee short and a windbreaker. The hand-warmer sits un-fueled, unused, in the drawer.

[kf0rt]

The weather is here.
Wish you were beautiful.

[PA5COR]

2 nights -3 C and now pissing down raining back to + 8 C

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Frozen in a fish bowl,
But that was last year,
Salting over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same driving fears.
Wish you were here.

Flash forward to so far this year, after a serious well below freezing cold spell it's warming up again... sort of. Back into the 40s but windy and damp as usual in winter at the shore it still cuts like a knife so as always I hibernate until spring. Hey I'm a grumpy old bastid, not a crazy as a loon Polar Bear!

Well, I am not into the idea of going into the water during cold weather but I do love the look and feel of the grey skies, the snow, cold rain and the ocean spray along the waterfront during a winter Noreaster.

Do you remember the famous/infamous December 1992 Nor'easter ? I remember it well. I got home from the city around 1:00am Friday morning, just as the storm was introducing itself into the neighborhood. It made it's debut by blowing our wooden picnic table across the yard. Next morning it was hurricane sustained winds, cold rain, and incredible wind gusts. Subways and roads were flooded out completely in parts of the city and sections of Westchester, Long Island, and jersey near the coast didn't fare very well at all. Some places had snow and blizzard like conditions. We got mostly rain. The storm lasted from Dec 11-14., As it continued the rain got colder and colder and slowly turned to ice and then snow. You didn't have to be a "polar bear" and go in the water in that storm. If you were outside, unprotected, and anywhere near the coast the water found you.

I remember the 93 storm real well

yeah, the SUPERSTORM !! Although the 1993 superstorm was more widespread I sort of remember the Dec 1992 storm being worst locally. The early 1990's we saw a lot of severe back to back nor'easters.

[WØTKX]

Big winds in the mountains and foothills. 70-100 mph gusts. Wind gusts at my hous last night that hit 60+ A short interlude, and a bigass mountain storm is moving in again this weekend.Good. We need the snow.

I'll be skiing tomorrow (finally) and maybe Sunday, if I'm not too sore and tired. Maybe I'll take some pics.

[kb2vxa]

The '90s was a decade of storms, I lost track of them. Fast forward, as usual the weatherman was wrong. Still cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey but frozen to the deck he won't find them any time soon.

[W2NAP]

well. Tuse. we had severe storms 1st, then cold and snow in the afternoon. alot of wind.

damage found.
1/2 the back porch roof ripped off.
2 2x4's both 8ft long tossed up on the roof.
2/440 antenna damn near knocked over (wooden pole cracked up the middle. whole pole was leaning at a 50 degree angle amazed it didnt just break)
HF antenna damaged

found 1 piece of the roof. god knows wtf the rest of it went.

Shee-it. I'll take my chances with the occasional earthquake. We only get one every five years or so and, in this area, they generally don't do any significant damage.

Oh so nice ....... we're warming up here .....expecting to be up to +7 celsius this weekend,but before that we have a major winter storm warning in effect with 15 centimeters of snow and freezing rain expected ...... yuck!!

It's been cold here for the last few days. Right now its only about 25. Quite a bit colder than they were originally forecasting earlier this week. We may even see a little snow by saturday but I believe it is supposed to be rain or sleet mixed (as is almost always the case here).

[KG4CGC]

Been alternating between Winter and Spring-like temps with thunder storms since December. Actually, didn't see much in the way of Winter during December. The previous 5 years, Winter has been bitter cold in this area with a particular low dip in 07 and 08. Last year was also damn cold until mid April when it suddenly never went below 70º until early October.

Still have February and March to go and we've been known to get our snow then if we do get it. Last year we had a White Christmas and it seemed that every chance for precipitation was a chance for snow for the whole season. Ice, forgot ice, got a lot of ice.

[NQ6U]

There's rain in the forecast for the Islets tomorrow. I hope they're right—we need it.

I'm probably the last person on the island to find this, But, I'll post a link anyway..

I suppose the proper answer was "Frightful".

[kb2vxa]

Oh the weather out there is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful.
I've got no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Tonight: Snow likely, mainly after 4am. Increasing clouds, with a low around 30. North wind around 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. Total nighttime snow accumulation of less than one inch possible.

Saturday: Rain, snow, freezing rain, and sleet before 1pm, then a chance of rain between 1pm and 4pm, then a slight chance of rain, snow, and sleet after 4pm. High near 38. East wind 9 to 16 mph becoming north. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New ice accumulation of less than a 0.1 of an inch possible. New snow and sleet accumulation of 1 to 2 inches possible.

[XE1/N5AL]

82 degrees here in Guadalajara. The last time it snowed was December 13, 1997. The time before that was 116 years earlier, on February 1, 1881. Word is: the ski slopes won't be opening this season.

Currently "Thunder Snow" 17F no wind.

Yeah, that's a result of these crazy "long spring seasons" that run from December to the beginning of summer" When you start getting abnormal summertime heat and humidity in January and February it is often punctuated by severe weather in the form of thunderstorms and twisters. Particularly for you guys in the west and south.

[n2ize]

As far as the weather here goes the mild shit is back and it looks like its here to stay for at least the rest of this week into next. The crappy part about it is once spring rolls around it's just going to be a continuation of this crap. perhaps salvation will come in the form of a hot humid summer. But at the rate things are going the summer will probably be garbage too.

[ki4itv]

What weather?
around 60 and sunny. That ain't weather.

Frozen precip moving into the area. Just made it home ahead of the stuff on the 2-wheeler.

69°F (20°C) and sunny here. Had about a half-inch (1.25 cm) of rain on Monday and everything has greened up beautifully. This is a very nice time of year to be in San Diego—days like this make up for the general overall crappiness of living in Southern California.

Brewin' up another mean-looking frontal passage for Miss'ippi tonight . Currently 3 tornado warnings in TX/LA , headed our way . Time will tell .

evening. Moderate snow will be possible from Thursday evening

I know in the area surrounding Madison Wisconsin there are snowmobile roads, if you will, that provide access into town and shopping areas via such vehicles. Is it safe to assume states like Colorado have the same?

[W4GPL]

Perhaps in rural areas, but certainly not that I've seen in metro Denver.

Denver really doesn't get that much snow. But.. a few inches tends to cripple the city, a foot is a lot. But the good news is, 2 days later it's usually around 60 degrees and everything melts away. We get into real trouble when we get several good dumpings & then it stays cold -- which is rare. One year not that long ago.. they dumped all the snow at Coors Field (baseball stadium) and it didn't melt before opening day. :)

[KG4CGC]

[n2ize]

See, we here in SC, think that Colorado is like Alaska.

Depends on the part of Alaska too. We get huge snows here (except for this "spring-winter" so far ) because of the strong coastal storms and nor'easters. Seems like extreme upstate NY is finally getting some "winter" this week. But its still quite mild here.

Looks like maybe 5-6" of the white stuff here. Been up a couple hours and it ain't snowing. All the schools are closed - some of the districts called it last night, so they must be pretty confident we'll get more.

Locally 2" snow, in the country up to 4/5" snow, temp's -6 to - 15 at night here, Celcius that is or 21 to 5 Fahrenheit.
More then 200 people died in Europe and Russia through the cold even freezing to death in their homes ( Russia etc) they have - 31 C or -24 F there.

Well lets see. Feb 17th and we have seen only 1 snowfall (that melted in 2 days) this winter. Temps have been a moderate mid to upper 40's all winter and, unless all hell breaks loose it looks like we are going to end with a very mild and almost snowless winter. Almost the exact opposite of last year and the year before. Thus far our most severe winter storm this year cam not in the winter but way back in October. This winter thus far has been like a very long early spring.

Yeah. That's another thing I'm afraid of. We had enough biting insects here last summer, after a very cold winter. This year it will probably be even worst after the piece of crap wimpo ultra winter we had this year.

Yes, it will be an interesting summer.

It's 2 degrees Celsius tonight and we've got 80 kph wind warnings and wet snow....... but I'm seeing a lot of evidence Spring is going to be early..... as soon as I hear the frogs in the marsh start to croak it's spring time!! ......could be any day now :yes:

[KG4CGC]

Spring.

[n2ize]

Cool and rainy here right now. But still, no snow or anything even resembling the traditional image of a cold snowy winter. And now that we are coming in to March the spring warming should be starting to show so my expectations of any real arctic cold snaps or rough snow storms has gone down to almost zero. Basically from my standpoint this winter sucked big time.

i guess I'll have to chalk this one up as a wimp winter. I basically wrote this winter off way back in January. Hopefully next winter will be better and will kick some ass.

Now I am thinking, once we get past the spring crap what will the summer be like ? Will it be rough or will it be a wimp summer to match the wimp winter ?

Somehow, at least with respect to weather, I think I am living in the wrong part of the world. Maybe I belong in Northwester Canada or in the Yukon region or some similar place known for rough extremes. Who knows. I always like the rough stuff. Rough winds, rough water, hot weather, cold weather, blizzards, heavy rain, heavy thunder, lightning, hail, etc.

Snow is good. Freezing is good. The problem is that we humans have become so wimpified that we fall to pieces over the slightest snowflake or speck of ice. I am known for going out and taking long walks in heavy blizzards. I love the wind and blinding snow in my face, the white out conditions, and the brutal cold. Makes me feel good.

Well, they say the United States gets more tornadoes than any other country in the world. And, even in other countries that do get them, they tend to not get them as strong or severe as in the United States.

We haven't had any here thus far, this area doesn't get them often (knock on wood), but we just had a wacko winter that was more like a long drawn out spring with lots of mild clear and very dry days and no snow or ice at all.. But now that spring is approaching it will probably revert back to wanting to be winter. Temps tomorrow are supposed to be up near 60 but then go down to around freezing at night with some possible thunderstorms so, who knows.

I guess these days there is less recognizable pattern to weather and it seems more to be, anything goes.

[XE1/N5AL]

I hope everyone survived the tornadoes. Here in Guadalajara we are having a tiny bit of a heat wave. It's 90 F (32 C) today, but nothing exciting to report; like tornadoes, earthquakes, meteor showers, etc.

I got to ride the bike at least 10 days in January. Last year I got to ride it 5 times from Dec. 1st through March 20.It has been nice. I'm glad we didn't cancel the insurance for the winter this year.

Not much of a blast here. It's only down to 23 here. A real winter blast should have the overnight temp down into the teens or single digits.

Are you in a mountainous region at a high elevation ?

We had four inches of snow mixed with sleet, it was a mess, John.
Today will be back up in the mid fifties and a local met pretty much said the winter we did have is over now.

I have some friends who are hill people living in upstate NY. They got down to -15 last night.,. This may be an extremely hot summer if the long range predictions I am hearing are correct. Now's the time to get those air conditioners prepped and ready.

So much for "71° and sunny." It's 45° with hail right now. I love spring, though—it's the only time of the year that we get any real weather here on the Islets of Langerhans.

[K7SGJ]

Well, it didn't get down to freezing is predicted. (The tomatoes are thankful) Only get down to the low 40s. Was supposed to rain today also, but that didn't happen. If Carlo is getting rain and hail right now, then perhaps everything is a day behind schedule.

Some people say the sunspot cycle. Others say global climate change, pollution, etc. I think its a combination of things. Part of it might be climate change, i.e. more severe and unstable weather. A lot of it mainly seems to have to do with the jet stream and extreme positive Arctic Oscillation. What I am thinking is that if this condition continues for the next several months we are going to be in for a long and extremely hot summer with few breaks in the intense heat waves. As hot aire pushes up from the south with little or no interference or moderation from arctic cold fronts the very warm air will settle in and remain with us for extended periods. However, its too early to say for sure.

Friend of mine up in Minnesota say's this is the mildest winter he's ever seen in his life. I've been running the air conditioning here. Never used it regularly this early in the season.

As for me I hate this mild crap.
