We Could Talk About The Weather

[KG4CGC]

Cold and damp today but it's supposed to warm back up and be damp over the week.

[n2ize]

Pictures.

the last thing on my mind was pictures My main concern was getting onto solid ground so I could dig out paths to the doors and lower floor windows. I know what I saw so you'll have to take my word on it. When it happens again this year I'll try and get some pictures. Even getting to the basement during a blizzard is dangerous here as you have to go outside to access the basement door. I usually take a guide rope because it is too easy to get lost out there with 0 visibility, driving snow and sudden drifts which could catch you and bury you in a second.

[KG4NEL]

Ice in the forecast, and I have an odd urge to go running out there...

Tomorrow morning should be fun.

[K0RGR]

Well, it warmed up a little today so it could snow. It's a really dry, fluffy snow - very high air to water content, due to the low temperatures. Driving is an adventure because the fine powdery snow makes traction interesting. It's fun to watch cars at stoplights as they spin their wheels when the light changes.

Such a cold and a rainy day.

[VE7DCW]

Well.....enduring night time temperatures of -10 C most of this past week our cold snap is coming to an end.....should be up to +7 degree C as daytime highs by Thursday.... I hate cold! :yuck:

"It's fun to watch cars at stoplights as they spin their wheels when the light changes."

Too much gas. When I have too much power I just vent a little.

It's that wet kind of cold that seeps into your bones.

And it doesn't help that it was 75º this week.

That's New Jersey all the way.

[N2NH]

Yesterdays high, 17oF (-8oC), Snow 10-12" here on the mountainside with a coating of ice on top and on the bottom.

37oF (3oC) today, plummeting down to 8oF (-13oC) by Monday.

Oh, yeah. More snow Tuesday... Winter's here and it looks like a white Christmas.

[N2NH]

Add about 7-8" more to that total as of today. Snow accumulations are about 14-16" (36-41cm) right now. A bit less in the valleys.

Went down to 3oF (-16oC) to 0oF (-18oC) last night.

[KG4CGC]

Late Christmas Eve in 2010 it sneu'd here. Large quarter sized flakes.
This year what we've been seeing is a warm up with rain and a cool down with dry. My concern is that a wet cool down would be icy.

[K7SGJ]

Sunny and almost 80° today, still 60° and dark. But it's a dry dark.

A picture is worth 1000 words. A Two-Liter Empty Bottle of Dr. Pepper in the snow nearby. Bottle height 13"- top of bottle is even with the top of the snow. In the meadow, a bit of a walk in the snow, the depth is about 2 to 3" deeper.

Fiddy treeº and expecting 73º by the weekend.
Merry Farging Christophas.

Traditionally we'd get some really cold days in December, 7 to 14 of them. Last year December was cold. January and February were warm and March was Quite Frigid and stayed that way until near the 3rd week of April. By May it was full blown Summer.

So, it's a tossed salad as to what to expect. We could get that snowy dip in Jan-Feb OR Mar.

3rd storm passed by last night 60 mile per hour wind, next one in the make for the 1st Xmas day, we sure get hammered here...

No pictures needed. I know what I saw. Expecting a major thaw and return to summer temps for a few days. Will likely be followed by a sudden cool down resulting in yet another bout of high winds, thunderstorms, tornadoes followed by heavy snow and ice squalls.

Couldn't take pictures even if I wanted to. Power outages couldn;t recharge the camera.

[PA5COR]

We're a modern country here, we burried our electric lines last century in the 1930's or so and don't do power outages here.

[N2NH]

Well, for the first day of winter, NYC will be 70 or so. We'll hit 66 here. Then, if the Weather Channel is right, we'll get one of those epic storms that you normally see around March. It will have torrential rains and winds.

Oh, and I saw a red-eyed rabbit clutching a watch and hopping to a rabbit hole. Really. Sorry no pics. Electricity hasn't been invented here yet.

Notice Monday. We'll be under the Atlantic from what I can figure from that icon...

The weather over the next few days/week will be severe. We are going from arctic cold to tropic summer in a matter of hours. torrential rains, high winds and near tropical heat wave and hurricane conditions are headed our way possibly followed by blasts of winter cold resulting in severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, and derecho gust lines. I am bracing for the worst. We might see a wave before this is all over.

Warm cold warm cold warm cold.
That lower line jumps up and down in my neck of the woods.
This week it will become blue where it was a little orange the past few days.

[kb2vxa]

So, the orange, not quite a redneck turns blue in the cold. Well, don't we all? Eh, just the samol samol NJ weather here at the shore, warm, cold, rain, snow, cloudy overcast you never know what will happen next crap. Today was typical, it was supposed to be sunny with a high of 42 but that never happened, grey skies, raw and windy kill the weatherman sort of stuff. Things ran me ragged all day leaving me worn out and frazzled but I won't bore you with the 75M stuff.

I don;t see why tourists would avoid Times Square tonight. Outside of a flurry there has been no snow in the city today. I live a few miles north and it's only going down to about 25 tonight. That is pretty tolerable. In fact it looks like a good night for NYE revelry in the city. I won;t be reveling tonight. I never revel on NYE.

[KG4CGC]

Somewhere around 33º and the kids are outside playing with fire and explosives.

[kb2vxa]

Snow or no snow Times Square is always crowded, sometimes for days before it gets warm enough for them to thaw and go home. Speaking of which, weather tonight isn't so bad but we're headed into deep freeze with the possibility of snow, rain, sleet or whatever if the weatherman can make up his mind. Friday night he wants 9F/-12C so it looks like Canada strikes again, I wish they'd keep their weather home.

[W5BRM]

Horse Cave KY has 30 degrees. Gonna be 48-50 today then tonight it rains and begins snowing for tomorrow morning. Just as I have to drive into Nashville! Well at least my day off is gonna be nice... Wish I was home tho...lol

Horse Cave, Kentucky, Lizard Lick, North Carolina, and other names must be the result of a silliest names contest in days of yore. I've never seen horses in a cave or lizards licking the top of a fence, all that moonshine they make must give rise to more than pink elephants.

4H and FFA on a field trip to the farm
Me and a friend sneak off behind

[N2NH]

We had flurries for hours here in the mountains of NY, even before dawn, but now the main part of the snowstorm has begun. They will probably do worse down on the coast, New York, Boston and Long Island.

Expecting 8 to 12 inches (20-30cm) and temps have been dropping all day long. 10oF right now and still dropping.

Will be -14oF (-26oC), by Saturday morning. Time to snuggle under the blankets.

http://web.mta.info/mnr/images/winter2.jpg

[KG4CGC]

46º and rain. No rain now, skies clear. Temps expected to drop tonight making roads slickery.

[N1LAF]

We just experienced a rapid temperature drop here in the past 45 minutes... at 8:15 pm, it was 19 degrees, and at 9 pm, it is 13 degrees. To have a drop that fast this cold only means that the storm off shore is really starting to get going.

Overnight forecast low was 15 degrees, it is now 13 and dropping.

It started off quite cold here around Thanksgiving.and continued on into december. Then a couple weeks ago it got warm and I was even running the air conditioner. Then it got cold again. Now it's about 9 deg F outside with complete white out conditions. You can't see an inch in front of you and snow is piling up fast in the face of extremely heavy wind gusts causing huge drifts. Friend of mine in Brooklyn called earlier. It is even more severe there. Already 2-3 feet of snow and piling up blocking doorways with cross winds in excess of 90.

[kb2vxa]

"Friend of mine in Brooklyn called earlier. It is even more severe there. Already 2-3 feet of snow and piling up blocking doorways with cross winds in excess of 90."

Brooklyn is a notoriously tough borough, but it's the wind driven drifts that piled up that deep and the wind didn't reach 90mph gusts. The weather services said differently, somebody is exaggerating. Here the day after with the wind calmed down and snow tapering off we got a few inches with mild drifts. The plows are out as are a few brave souls, I'm hibernating in my bear cave with no plans to forage for food for the time being with temperatures cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.

Get your minds out of the gutter, a brass monkey was the rack that held cannonballs on a British Man O' War. Iron and brass have different temperature coefficients, so the iron shrank more than the brass and the balls fell out. That's the best time to attack, when the sailors are running around chasing their balls. (Maybe I should take my own advice?)

[NQ6U]

65°F and sunny here at 10:45.

[N2NH]

65°F and sunny here at 10:45.

11 and sunny with about 9" of snow on the ground at 2:00PM. Tonight we'll be -15 (-13 in the valleys) breaking a record set in 1983. I doubt if the high will reach 2 tomorrow. I'm sure that it's colder up north and in the mid-west but this is frigid for here.

Reminds me of wife #2.

Rain, hail thunder lightning it had it all...
Add to that a few small tornado's lifting a few roofs of houses and doing some more damage.
Luckily my Friesland province in the north missed most of all that "fun".

Sounds like you guys are getting an extended version of American style weather. We seem (so far) to be having a cool winter relative to this area of southeast NY. I don;t mind it, in fact I prefer it to hot humid summer or mild springlike crap.I was outside before, it was 10 degrees and I felt comfortable. It might get down to -3 below 0 F tonight and I am more worried about the water pipes freezing than me freezing... In any event I kind of like this cold spell as it will prep me for my future life in the far north.

[PA5COR]

The weather is directly from your side of the pond, depressions are pointed to us, gather strength over the relative warm seawater, gather lots of moist and come over us with southern winds that are warm giving us and the UK a deluge or rain and storm.
Mostly the case if the USA./Canada has a cold spell we get the wet depressions and warm weather in winter...saves on the heating bills though..
But we have this for months now, i wouldn't mind some winter here myself, but the expectations are we keep this sh*t up to the end of January at least...
There i am with my winter preparations with kerosene and road salt in plenty supply....;)
I knew i shouldn't have bought it in bulk...

"I am more worried about the water pipes freezing than me freezing."

Wrapping pipes in freeze prone locations with electric heat tape and covering it with insulation will prevent it. http://www.homedepot.com/b/Plumbing-Pipe-Insulation/N-5yc1vZbuy9 As a stopgap measure leaving the water trickling will help, still water freezes before moving water. Where you're concerned, do what my landlord tells complainers running around in their underwear, put on some clothes.

Now stop complaining about the weather, Alaska residents are excused. I heard one of those Ice Road Truckers say; "When it's -20 it's warm, when it's -40 it's cold, when it's -60 it's G damn cold."

[KJ3N]

To us Yukoner's and Chechakos that is mild.

[n2ize]

Yeah, well both you and the Chechakos are fucking nuts anyway. :nuts:

Mother fuck ........ it's 10 degrees out and the overnight low is supposed to be 2.

Actually a Cheechako is an old name for a newcomer, a tenderfoot in Northern Alaska and northwestern Canada. Most seasoned old timers would consider 10 degrees to be pretty mild for winter. Heck, 10 degrees is even considered a typical winter temperature in the Adirondacks in upstate New York where you'll often get overnight temperatures of -10 , -20, and lower.

And regardless of how cold it gets one thing for sure. The river near me at my present locale in southeast NY won't freeze because its so damned polluted. At most it will develop a yellow waxy coating over it's surface. Years ago a few cold days and people could ice skate on it. These days you can get a months worth of arctic weather and that river will remain liquid. It's actual name is the "Bronx River". I have dubbed it "the river that cannot freeze".

only good thing about this -10 to -20 crap is it will wipe out the bug population. thus making summer a bit more enjoyable.

True. We had a lot the year that temps were in the 40s most of the winter. Up in the Adirondacks where this is the norm, those bugs can't be stopped if there was a nuclear war.

This is how I remember winter being when i was a youngster. Except back then it usually stayed cold longer and there was more snow. Then everyone got spoiled by all the mild-warm snow and ice free winters we had back to back year after year. A lot of the old time Adirondackers say that winters up there in the mountains were rougher than nowadays. And even some Alaskan's and Yukon'rs are saying the same thing. Of curse one would have to examine the stats to be certain as people don't always remember things exactly as they were. Then again, considering climate change it is possible they are right.

[kb2vxa]

"This is how I remember winter being when i was a youngster. Except back then it usually stayed cold longer and there was more snow."
Same here, but not so BLOODY cold. Kids don't mind cold and getting wet BUT if it got as cold as it was a couple of days ago and will be again the day after tomorrow (9-15) we wouldn't have made snow men, we'd BE snowmen!

Went from -9oF (-23oC) a few days ago to 56oF (13oC) (forecasted 42) right now at 7:30AM. A 65 degree difference. The snow is all but gone but it's raining like heck. The birds just woke up and are they excited! HooHaH Kiddies!

Colder then a mother's -in-law kiss here, and it's going to get colder yet.

[kb2vxa]

So, which is colder, a mother in law's kiss, a witch's tit, or as Kelli put it; colder than a sled dog's ass? Sorry I don't know the answer, I never was kissed by a mother in law or felt up a witch and the last time I stuck a thermometer up a sled dog's ass it bit me.

It's blowing like hell, 28 and going down to 7 and wind chill warnings up through tomorrow.

-8 in Lafayette Indiana. I65 is still closed and US41 is drifted in impassable. Stuck at a Walmart!! They didnt have power for about 4-6 hours earlier but its back on now. Glad my truck is still running. The heater is keeping up sorta with the cold. is about 56 in here. Could be warmer but i'll take that over the temps on the other side of the windshield...lol

[N2NH]

Everytime I think it's bad here, I read N2NKW and think, it could be worse.

We went from -9 to 56 and a few hours later, voila, 8. I think the birds froze to death. Wind is up there too. High today 10.

How about those 'Niners?:yes:

I remember those days with my neighbor (truck driver) in Dayton, Ohio. I use to help him warm up his truck in a store parking lot in sub-zero weather. We used a charcoal grill without legs. On Sunday Morning we built a nice hot charcoal fire then slid it underneath the engine. By Sunday night he was off and running.

My waterlines froze this morning. Apparently Virginia houses aren't built for single digit temps. I just put the space heater in my water closet. Hope the water comes back on before the wife wakes up.

Things are a bit different today. My bunk heater on this truck actually has a small furnace in it that runs the truck coolant through it. As long as I have battery power, I can run the bunk heater which keeps the block sorta warm. Not HOT but warm enough so theres no problem cold starting the truck. For those times when I am home and not running the bunk heater, I have a 120v AC plug in for the electric block heater. I have yet to use it though

I grew up in Central NY about halfway between Albany and Binghamton. Our house had a hot water circulation system though the baseboard system. EVERY winter we had at LEAST 1 pipe freeze and burst somewhere on an outside wall. It was a real PITA. We tried running electric pipe heating wrapping everywhere but it never was enough. I was so glad when we moved out of that house even though I was a kid. The one thing I do miss about that sort of system is the sounds the radiators made when the hot water started running through them. The radiators attached to the piping was a series of fins and it would pop and ping and make all kinds of noise when it started reacting to the heat. I kinda miss that.

Screwy Winter Weather Games.
We hit 6º last night. During the afternoon the wind was really whipping up good to 40mph.
42º tomorrow will really feel balmy and 65º on Saturday will feel sweltery!

The bird water is frozen as is the dog pool. Now to go cut some ice.

Got down to -8 last night, high today 2 tomrrow high will be 21. This weekend high's in the mid 50's, doing the math thats a +80 degree's.

[kb2vxa]

It's 10 and dropping with wind chill -4. By morning they expect 7 with a chill of -10. If I were outside I wouldn't be talking about the weather, or anything for that matter.

Once upon a time due to circumcisions beyond my control I was stranded 120mi away from home and it wasn't even this cold. I had to hitch hike (when it as fairly safe and legal) along a county road and the 2 or 3 cars out at that late hour passed me by. I finally reached a diner, staggered in, sat at the counter and TRIED to order a coffee to warm me... mumble mmmffft mumumffff. I pointed to a cup, she smiled, brought it and thankfully paid having warmed and continued on my way. Shortened for brevity, when I reached New Brunswick, NJ, after waiting for morning in the station I finally made it home to Rahway by a Pennsylvania Railroad local for fans out there, warm milk this time and bed, I don't think I ever fell asleep that fast.

Take winter weather, especially wind chill warnings seriously, you may live to regret ignoring them, then maybe you won't live.

This afternoon while I was waiting for my stepdad to rescue me:

[N8GAV]

Weather Channel said this morning that by the end of next week we will be back to the deep cold, maybe even colder. Oh well it is winter time.

[kb2vxa]

18 at noon, expected high of 25 (I got high at 25 too) and not expected to go above freezing for the foreseeable future. At least the howling wind died down! Securitay securitay securitay, notice to all mariners, USCG icing conditions now being broadcast as I type. I'm not ABOUT to leave my bear cave to look at rime ice on the beach pretty as it may be or the frozen Inland Waterway. I'll forage for food when absolutely necessary and not a New York minute before!

I've got the Accuweather weather bug on my Firefox toolbar that generally agrees with the NWS Mount Holly, NJ site I have bookmarked. Present conditions come from Belmar-Farmingdale Airport a few miles to the north and forecast from the NWS office in Philadelphia. The same local conditions and forecast plus marine are broadcast on 146.450Mhz from a nearby firehouse in the Herbertsville section of Brick Township so I'm never out of touch with Gaia should the need arise.

As expected in this frigid weather, the Point Pleasant Fire Department is responding to a report of a burst water heater. Of all the bad luck to have one flame out and freeze. There are reports of water leaks coming in from all over, never a dull moment when you have a scanner.

[NQ6U]

Cold snap here, too. It's only gonna get up to 66°F (19°C) today.

I heard the bloviated balloon making this rant. Apparently Oxycontin Fatso doesn't understand that global climate and regional weather are two different things. Or more likely he does understand it but wants to intentionally mislead the uneducated fools who comprise his audience. Secondly, the term "polar vortex" is anything but new. It has been known of and used by meteorologists and climatologists for ages. However, i doubt that Oxycontin fatso (aka "The Ballooon") is aware of that. In any event its typical of The Balloon to mock science to further his agenda and continue misleading the dittoheads.

BTW when it comes to weather notice these talking heads like Oxycontin Fatso who deny climate change only seem to notice cold weather. But they conveniently never notice long protracted record breaking heatwaves and droughts.

[kb2vxa]

"...but would really have been interesting is if Politico had spent maybe one or two sentences (or heck, even a full paragraph) pointing out that what he said was absolutely insane and completely disconnected from reality."

What's so interesting about pointing out what anyone with ears can hear?

Here at the Jersey Shore we're used to that sort of thing. Same general forecast, chili today, hot tamale. Oh, that's Mexico. Rain today and much warmer for the next several days, thankfully it'll dry out. Yesterday morning was freezing rain, police, fire and EMS on the road all reporting conditions suitable for ice skating until afternoon when it started warming. Oh, they were all quite busy with drivers scooting along oblivious to conditions... as always. Oh, one Lakewood officer couldn't park his car since it had a mind of its own. (;->)

Nope, new polar vortex is on it's way for the USA.
http://www.theatlanticcities.com/politics/2014/01/polar-vortex-returns-next-week/8135/


However, during the third and fourth weeks of January, some changes will take place. The high amplitude pattern is forecast to get more extreme. The polar vortex will move farther south and get stronger. The pattern will gradually change the current mixture of Pacific and Arctic air in the Canada Prairies and the North Central U.S. to all Arctic air. The air will get significantly colder over the Canada Prairies and the much of the eastern half of the nation as a result.
http://cdn.theatlanticcities.com/img/upload/2014/01/17/252d39fd9.jpg
If the early forecasts are right the sequel will be even worse, just like at the movies. "Temperatures may get colder than they were during the initial polar vortex event," writes The Houston Chronicle's Alex Sosnowski (http://blog.chron.com/weather/2014/01/polar-vortex-part-two-country-faces-another-arctic-outbreak-to-end-january/#19480101=0). These frigid temperatures are not a sure thing just yet. Predicting the weather is not a perfect science, especially when guessing so far away. But we know that Tuesday will be very, very cold, and all of the patterns point towards another Polar Vortex-type deep freeze.
We still don't know how far south the Vortex will travel. For now, most expect the Vortex to affect the Mid-West and north eastern parts of the country.
What makes this Polar Vortex sequel even more fun dangerous than the last one is the increased possibility of snowstorms. "This is the most favorable pattern for snow that we’ve had all winter and it’s occurring right at the beginning of the period when snowstorms are most frequent climatologically," says the Post. "But it still is not a perfect pattern." Someone get a pot of boiling water ready.

Looks if that happens we won't be getting any winter this year, just west circulation and more storms...

Dodged a bullet here. Got a dusting of snow instead of 3-6" predicted. I wonder how the seaboard made out? NYC?


The storm, which was expected to dump up to 14 inches of snow on the city by Wednesday morning, grounded thousands of flights in the region and made the commute home treacherous, and several times longer, for millions of workers.

Ouch. Forget I asked.

Another post that disappeared. Again, a little over a foot, now we're in deep freeze for about a week and I crawled into the deepest recesses of my bear cave for the duration.

[N2NH]

Every time I think of how cold it is, I look at Buffalo, Montreal and Vermont. They're almost always worse off than we are here in between the Mountains and the River. Well, no mention of snow for the next few days. In reality, it will be cold until Sunday February 2nd, nearly two weeks from now. We will go nowhere near what is considered normal temperatures at least until then. -1 to -6 here tonight depending on whose forecast you listen to.

Right now it's 7 with winds from the NW. The gusts that were 45 MPH have died down a bit, but are still coming through the windows.

When it is opened it feels like a zero degree meat locker blasts the living room. Indoors it's a balmy 70. Unless you open the bathroom door. Then it'll be 58.

It's 28 here and I doubt it will go up any higher. If anything the temps will start falling off rapidly. Monday next week we are supposed to see 33 but then a rapid drop off. Actually this weather really doesn't bother me, in fact I've been quite comfortable both indoors and outdoors. It was a little brutal when I went out to plow the snow this past Wednesday morning as it was only 6 deg and a fierce wind was blowing and I was getting clobbered by blowing snow... frostbite time. But once I went inside, got my hat, scarf, and my blood got circulating good and got back out and I felt fine. Matter of fact by the time I was done and ready to head inside I felt warm despite the fact that it was only a few degrees above zero.

I would, and Carlo probably would as well, be willing to swap a few degrees for a few inches of precip. It's been pretty dry for quite some time, and even worse in S CAl. In the past few years, I've seen several mini-sink holes showing up around the property here due to a heavy burden on the ground water table, and lack of replenishment.

It's almost 70°F here right now and I'd happily swap 30° of heat for 10" of rain.

We are just a couple degrees above that at the moment. Yeah, we could use that much water, as well. But we need it slow. Last time we got a couple inches of rain, it came down so fast, that most of it ended up in the Imperial Valley, or further South down into Mexico.

[W5BRM]

Parked in Columbus Oh since last night. Dont know what it got down to last night but tonight it's supposed to get to 0. it's 16 right now (1900 CST 1/25) Snowed a good part of the day here but i missed most of it as I went to the movies.

It's 61 and sunny, but a bit windy at times.

A good day to fell more of those RF traps.

[suddenseer]

I am tired of the stupid character crawls taking up the bottom 1/3 of the screen from the local stations informing me that it is snowing outside. I am watching the snow inside, snort, JK. The NY/NJ NHL game would be more enjoyable.

If that's not bad enough the Weather Channel preempted a whole lineup of interesting programs for a Weather Central marathon... gggrrrrrr.

Yesterday's high was 68, but I was too 'plumb tuckered'*
from working the CQ 160 meter CW 'test into the wee hours
to do much actual outdoor work.

Owing to the trees I did clear, got better coverage to the east. :)

Overnight low was 22, so it looks like Old Man Winter is sticking around.

Another cold spell for you guy's ....

Yep Cor, going down to -16 overnight IF the tv weather man is right. Hasn't been that cold around here since the winter of 1977.

[N2NH]

Yep, Cor, we're dropping from 37ºF (3ºC) this afternoon to 6ºF (-14ºC) by morning. Already down to 24 (-4ºC) here.

Just for 2 days tho. The last one ended today, the next one begins tomorrow. The last one didn't get anywhere near as cold as the first cold wave. We hit -11ºF (-24ºC) with 45MPH (72 Km) winds during that one.

[PA5COR]

Dang, you guy's have all the fun this winter...
Sunny here + 4 C and the whole winter i saw the thermometer drop below 0 just once, no snow no ice nothing, just an extended autumn....
Next days might give some frost then back to 5 to 9 C for the next few weeks...
If you guy's get the polar vortex breathing down on you we get a western circulation with storms, warmer temps and more rain ( like we need that....):roll:
Though we don't have the flooding problems the UK has though, i'm getting fed up with this winter as we could call it that....
Keep warm and safe there please....

[KG4NEL]

Flurries are just starting to come down, forecast is calling for 1-3 inches.

[kb2vxa]

We got some snow overnight but I'm not going out with my ruler to measure it. Since it's 14F/-10C as of noon today and not going anywhere up near freezing until Friday when the expected high is 40F/4C that's the day I'll come out of hibernation and go foraging.

This thread is the internet version of ham radio to a T. It never fails, sooner or later stations talk about the weather.

[PA5COR]

Freezing all daay now, just a few days expected, now at 18.00 hours it is - 3.5 C going down to - 9 C this night.
Thinking about to put the heating on, just a few oillamps on, still 20.3 C in the room, so i think i'll pass putting the heating on.
Have enough kerosene to get by for 2 years, so lets burn some of that....;)

We could see the clouds from that coastal storm that Warren, NYC and Long Island got. Parts of the eastern end of Long Island got a foot. Dodged a bullet, it was cold (8ºF) but sunny and surprisingly tolerable.

[kb2vxa]

Where you are the humidity is much lower, around here the damp goes right through and chills to the bone. Summer reverses temperature but not humidity... ugh.

That is true. But nearer to the Hudson River the humidity is dreadful. Once in awhile, we see a lost seagull here, but that has only happened once.

[kb2vxa]

It must have been a LONG while.

[N2NH]

HOO HAH! 48 forecast for Sunday. Only for a short while, but it looks like the stone cold heart of Winter has passed. 2 weeks until Catchers and Pitchers (baseball) and about 1½ months to the wearing of the green.

ASIDE, this morning a 'tropical cyclone' was forecast to hit Australia. Hope they did well. I know they need the rain, but these can be some impressive storms.

[n2ize]

HOO HAH! 48 forecast for Sunday. Only for a short while, but it looks like the stone cold heart of Winter has passed. .

Don't be too sure. February and well into March can be quite cold.

[kb2vxa]

"...about 1½ months to the wearing of the green."

Don't be surprised when you seeing me wearing orange. Erin go braless!

[N2NH]

Don't be too sure. February and well into March can be quite cold.

Oh, certainly. I marched in the 1969 St. Patrick's Day Parade here in NYC. It was 35, snowing with a northwest wind blowing at some Godforbiddinglycold speed across the plains of Central Park and right through me for three and a half hours. It was then that I understood why the Irish drink on St. Patrick's Day.

Still, it was 52 two days later while I fought off the chill. Last week 35 would be the warm number and in two days it would be 3.

[N2NH]

"...about 1½ months to the wearing of the green."

Don't be surprised when you seeing me wearing orange. Erin go braless!

There's something about a warm St. Patrick's Day, drunk Irish girls in front of bars trying to impress guys while they walk by... but not if you're wearing orange.

[K7SGJ]

Kind of an ugly day here in the desert. Gray, windy, and overcast; it didn't even make it to 60.

[kb2vxa]

In New York on St. Paddy's Day wearing orange would be a death wish. I did it in school year after year but nobody raised an eyebrow, the whole lot including the teachers never heard of the Orangemen, the Orange Order, their origins, place in history, or what it means to Irish Catholics.

[N2NH]

Hit 5 right now. Will warm up then drop for the coming snowstorm. We were supposed to get an inch, no more then we actually had very rough driving with about 5" of snow; must be the cutbacks, that is a very odd thing to happen in the mountains. Tonight more of the same, 12 to 15" predicted and got a public alert via Google about an hour ago.

Can't wait for the wearing of the green. Then again, we got snowed in on Easter 1970 (http://thetimes-tribune.com/news/the-year-bunny-was-snowed-in-1.1296788) when I was visiting up here. The storm that came in late March dumped 42" after five 60 degree days... NYC got 4". Meh. Why Not?

[PA5COR]

The whole of western europe is basking in + 0 temps including Sweden, Finland etc, no winter to be had, just lots of western circulation bringing more rain to the drowned UK and strong wind and gales to us with the odd sunny day like now, temps +8 C, the whole "winter" gave us 3 nights with temps a bit below 0, the rest looks like spring.
Next 14 day forecast is not else, after that i expect more of the same....
Last year we had lots of freezing days, 20" snow, and we could skate on our canals and lakes....he only ice now is in the fridge.

[W2NAP]

well we got about 10" of snow..

funny part of the night was when some jackass was out driving around in the middle of the snowstorm jamming us.

[N2NH]

We've got about 16 - 18" right now with a few more hours of snow and freezing rain. We'll be cold for awhile, then another storm this weekend. The early forecast - which is not set in concrete - is 12-18" from Baltimore MD to NYC and Nassau County, Long Island.

FUN. :hahano:

[kb2vxa]

The concrete has been poured all over the TV, it just hasn't set yet. Better get it off before you have a real problem, put it in a tub and stand the weatherman in it. By the weekend he'll be crab food. The LIRR has it's usual problems, service has been suspended on the NEC and the North Jersey Coast Line from Long Branch northward giving Amtrak and NJT fits with ice loading on the overhead catenaries. No mention has been made of Diesel service on the Bay Head Shuttle, Bay Head to Hoboken or non electrified NJT lines. I haven't checked but it's safe to assume information may be had on their web sites.

We just get a prolongation of new depressions with storm, rain and too high temperatures.
W o r s t winter in my life...

[K7SGJ]

I have a feeling that the population in many of those areas will be rising dramatically long about Halloween or so.

[n2ize]

We are having a great winter here. Plenty of snow and sub freezing temps. I am loving it. Just took a 7-8 mile trek through some hard pack snow and ice. I like this weather. I enjoy it.

[WØTKX]

-10F (-23C ) with 3' of snow on the ground...

[kb2vxa]

That winter storm map was copyright 2010 and fits this weekend's forecast. OK, call it climate change, but wasn't 2010 the year of global warming? Hmmm. Another hmmm, "prolongation of new depressions"
has a double meaning here, weather and "the winter blues". Can't do anything about the weather, but those blues can be chased away in a brightly lit room since they're brought on by low light levels in the gloom of winter. Yep, a population rise around Halloween is pre dick ted since there's nothing else and certainly nothing better to do than provide better home entertainment than a DC to light, QRP to QRO ham shack. Of course snow and subfreezing temperatures is enjoyable, even if you're not surrounded by snow bunnies in bikinis dry snow is easier to deal with than heavy wet slop.

Having spent my life in New Jersey I'm used to this time of year with yo yo weather. It's a bit inconvenient dealing with alternating clear and rainy/snowy days, but as long as I can take advantage of the breaks to run errands it's no tragedy. Tomorrow, Thursday is one of those days I can come out to forage and back to a weekend of hibernation and if the rest of the country should follow Colorado it'll be a higherbernation.

With me it's just the opposite. I prefer the short days and longer nights. When it's cool and dark I am calm. When the days are long and it's hot I get both depressed and quite irritable.

[NQ6U]

Kind of cold here, too. Barely made 60°F.

[kb2vxa]

"When the days are long and it's hot I get both depressed and quite irritable."

Then get an air conditioner.

[n2ize]

"When the days are long and it's hot I get both depressed and quite irritable."

I've got one. On a hot day it will get the inside temp to around 75 degrees which is still too warm IMHO. If I leave it on overnight and the temp at night drops enough it will get the room down to about 68-69 by morning. Now, if it could get me down to 68 or so during the day I'd be happy. getting a larget unit isnt going to get the room much cooler either. Ity would simply waste energy. The only real way to get it cooler on very hot days would be to design your how along the lines of a cold storage warehouse.... with about 2 feet of insulation along the walls , floors, and ceilings and removing all windows.

Besides, air conditioners don't make the day's shorter. But at least it makes it a bit cooler.

[kb2vxa]

Well there you go, stop thinking and start working. Then replace the AC with a refrigeration unit and you can enjoy Yukon winters, -30 degrees should make you happy, and without windows there are NO days. Eh, wait 'till you move there and build your dream shack, then you can have Yukon winter all year round!

Back to the subject, KILL ALL GROUNDHOGS! The little bastards, no matter WHAT they predicted winter just won't go away! Next year it's squirrels, they have nuts, groundhogs ARE nuts.

We are to hit 60 by next week, I hope so maybe I can get out of the house. Getting a bit of cabin feaver

[n2ize]

Okay, we got 4 to 8 inches of snow. Then it abruptly changed to rain creating a heavy, hard packed slippery slushy snow. Cleanup was rough. The 7hp snow thrower could barely handle this heavy stuff and the chute kept getting clogged causing the machine to conk out,. I had to clear the chute and restart close to a dozen times just to get the place plowed out. Now comes the groovy part. When it gets down below freezing and all that nice stuff and rain glazes over to form nice slippery ice.

BTW I refer to these types of storms as "Verge Storms" because they are constantly on the verge of snow, sleet, rain. Earlier this winter we got true snow storms... nice light white flaky snow. Easy to clear. This stuff we are getting now sucks.

[n2ize]

Hah Hah... we even had a bit of a THUNDERSTORM this evening. Now we are back to wind and snow... :lol:

Sunny start of the day here in the Netherlands, 3 C expecting 7 C but in the evening back to rain and wind up to 60 miles per hour.
Tomorrow storm 21 or so since December, rain 10 C and 65 to 70+ miles per hour wind, wind dying down tomorrow night 1/2 inch rain expected.
Rest of the week calmer and less windy temps around 8 to 10 C.
What winter?????

It's been a relatively quiet year as far as our legendary coastal gales go, now I know where they got off to. Since you're seeing so many I wouldn't be surprised you see this one.
