We Could Talk About The Weather

[VE7DCW]

Albert "One-Hit Wonder" Hammond is a Brit who grew up in Gibraltar. What the fuck does he know about the climate of Southern California?

Sort of like the remark you made to my statement of the same question in the chatroom ....... do the voodoo of that deja vu that you do..... Carl! :rofl:


:neener:

[K7SGJ]

Maybe not your question...

Only got about 0.1" here so far. I was hoping for more.

My wife told me the same thing.

[NQ6U]

My wife told me the same thing.

She told me that as well.

[K7SGJ]

She told me that as well.


She has no shame.

[NA4BH]

She has no shame.

She has you

[VE7DCW]

She has no shame.

Missed you in the chatroom tonight Eddie.......... :yes:

[NQ6U]

She has you

That's enough shame for ten people.

[K7SGJ]

She is such a little hussy, but I still love her. Most of the time.

[NA4BH]

LOL, I misread HUSSY.

[K7SGJ]

Of Earl or Wayne?

[NA4BH]

[K7SGJ]

Okay lil missy. Wah hah.

[NQ6U]

Of Wayne

I thought that was a Fountain.

[K7SGJ]

I thought that was a Fountain.

You're thinking of the Fountain of Youtes.

[VE7DCW]

You're thinking of the Fountain of Youtes.

Man......... Eddie,it looked almost like you said a "fountain of Yurts" ....... a spot kicking out Mongolian habitable shelters....... that's truly a relief .....:doh:

[NQ6U]

You old farts don't know nothing about what's happening in music. Fountains of Wayne (https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=fountains+of+wayne) is a band.

Very heavy rain here, over 1.25" (32mm) in the last hour. The front yard is flooded and my grand daughter woke me up to report that water was leaking in around the air conditioner near her bed.

[wa6mhz]

torrential RAINS here! and MISSING VALLEY is all flooded, several hotels under water!!!

[NQ6U]

torrential RAINS here! and MISSING VALLEY is all flooded, several hotels under water!!!

Yeah, total cow/flat rock scenario here around 04:30.

BTW, for you non-residents, when Pat says "MISSING VALLEY", he means Mission Valley (or, MISSION VALLEY!!!!!, if you prefer), which is actually the San Diego River Valley. It used to be cow pastures and cropland but has been heavily (and unwisely) developed into commercial properties, retail, office and some hotels. It all gets flooded every few years.

[wa6mhz]

My chaste wife had to drive to Poway from Crest right at the height of that downpour. haven't heard if she made it or not. Guess I oughta call and see. She is buying a PIE for the SANDRA POTLUCK Christmas party tonight.
On edit, I called and she is fine, but she sure got wet!!

Carl..... looks like relief is on the way for people in your location......the Arctic high has shifted somewhat and our cold snap appears to have ended which allows the setup for the Pacific weather systems to continue further north and get us instead of you.We didn't get any more snow, but the Mt.Washington ski area is reporting that it looks like they are really going to get dumped on next week....they'll be open for the Christmas skiing crowds. :yes:

We have a few days of dry weather before another storm hits mid-to-late next week. That gives me time to take care of the caulking around the A/C unit in the grandkids' room. I tried to fix it this morning but the ground was so saturated that my ladder sunk into the soil deep enough that I had a hard time pulling it out again.

Looks like another one ready for us by the end of next week, Pat. We got 2.7" total from this storm; what did you get up there in Crest?

[W7XF]

0.74" at the Island marijuana plantation.

[n2ize]

Must be at least 70 F here. I'm wearing a short sleeved shirt and sitting in the shade because it's too warm in the sun.

Hah... I wear a short sleeved shirt when it's 40 degrees. As far a sun goes, what is that ? Oh you mean that yellow ball of light that I see in the southerly direction. It pretty much disappears by 4:30 pm. Then the dark rises and blots out the light. :)

[wa6mhz]

Don't hava rain gauge (kind of a useless item for SoCal!!!) but I would guess several inches. I know it filled up the dog dish so the stray pusses now have fresh water. I should measure the Mosquito breeding pond (defunct pool) to see if it went up. looks cloudy today, they said somehting about more showers tonight. It better not rain before midnight though!! tonight is our company Christmas party and I'm gonna have my TUX on that I don't want to have to dry clean!!

Looks as though we are going to have a miserable week coming up......the following statement issued by Environment Canada:


2:50 PM PST Sunday 07 December 2014
Special weather statement in effect for:


East Vancouver Island

Warm, wet and windy weather forecast for much of coastal British Columbia beginning Monday night and continuing through mid week.
A series of intense weather systems will approach coastal British Columbia.

The initial system approaching Haida Gwaii this afternoon will weaken as it crosses the South Coast on Monday. A second more intense front will bring heavy rain and strong winds to Vancouver Island and parts of the inner South Coast beginning Monday night and continuing through Tuesday morning. Heavy rain and strong winds will redevelop on Wednesday morning as a third system moves across the coast.

Significant rainfall amounts for the 3 day period will range from 50 to 100 millimetres for many areas and up to 200 millimetres over southwest facing slopes. Freezing levels are also expected to increase to near 2000 metres for the North Coast and to 2500 metres for the South Coast through mid week.
The public is advised to monitor future forecasts and warnings as warnings may be required or extended


What's interesting is the rainfall amount..... I haven't seen 200 millimeter amounts listed by them in a long time! :yuck:

The pineapple express from Hawaii is about to hit Vancouver Island

Nearly 8 inches? That's quite a bit of rain. Wasn't that fairly normal in the Canadian Southwest/ US Northwest at one time?

Nothing much new here. It's winter.

Nothing much new here. It's winter.

There have been some big,and I mean BIG rain events which have happened years ago...... Winter here is the time for the rain to fall,but most of the time the weather office listed rainfall amounts of the order to expect 50,75,100 mm in rainfall accumulations....... but I have to go back quite a number of years to to remember even seeing 200 mm listed even for system facing southern mountain slopes..... this is what to expect in our area when a possible El Nino beckons

These crazy weather systems are nicknamed the "Pineapple Express" because their moisture laden journey starts with the warm Pacific Ocean waters of the Hawaiian Islands.....the jet stream does the rest

A fairly well written article on this phenomenon is here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pineapple_Express :shock:

[VE7DCW]

Uh oh...... the weather office has bumped up their statement to warning now:



Warnings 11:45 PM PST Sunday 07 December 2014
Rainfall warning in effect for:


East Vancouver Island

Rain, at times heavy, is expected.

An incredible series of storms are set to cross the BC Coast this
week. An intense jet stream over the Pacific is gathering very warm
moist air from southern latitudes. A subtropically-influenced
airstream will bombard the mountains of Vancouver Island and the
Lower Mainland from early Monday through Thursday morning.
High rainfall rates will and a prolonged period of rainy weather
will create an extraordinary 3 to 4 day rain event.

The first two storms will boost rainfall totals well above the
warning criteria for a 24-hour period. Following systems will add to
the week's rainfall and the initial warnings will likely be extended
for successive 24-hour periods though mid-week. The inflooding warm
air will drive the freezing level to nearly 2500 metres. In some
areas, additional water from snow-melt will add more water to
drainage basins, creeks, and rivers.

The East Coast of Vancouver Island, the Sunshine Coast, Metro Vancouver
and the Fraser Valley-West including Abbotsford, will receive between 25 and
100 millimetres of rain by Tuesday morning. And that is just the beginning...
Heavy downpours can cause flash floods and water pooling on roads. Watch for possible washouts near rivers, creeks and culverts.

Environment Canada meteorologists will update alerts as required. Please monitor local media or Weatheradio. Email reports of severe weather to pacificstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet with the hashtag #BCStorm.

10:34 PM PST Sunday 07 December 2014
Wind warning in effect for:


East Vancouver Island

Strong winds that may cause damage are expected or occurring.

A FAST MOVING FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL CROSS VANCOUVER ISLAND MONDAY AFTERNOON BRINGING SOUTHERLY WINDS OF 70 KM/H GUSTING TO 90 KM/H. THESE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DIMINISH EARLY TUESDAY MORNING AS THE FRONT MOVES INTO THE BC INTERIOR.
Gusty winds can damage soft shelters, tents and awnings at outdoor events.

Wind warnings are issued when there is a significant risk of damaging winds.

Environment Canada meteorologists will update alerts as required. Please monitor local media or Weatheradio. Email reports of severe weather to pacificstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet with the hashtag #BCStorm.

Damn ........ I hate the weather here this time of year! :yuck:

[K7SGJ]

When I saw your post about a miserable week coming up, I thought drive-by-Bob was going to be in the area. :stirpot: Stay high and dry, and don't ride your bicycle if there is lightning.

Be safe

[NQ6U]

Gerry, that's the same sort of storm that hit us late last week. At one point, we were getting rain at over 40mm/hr.

[K7SGJ]

Gerry, that's the same sort of storm that hit us late last week. At one point, we were getting rain at over 40mm/hr.

We got the remnants of that one. Wasn't a fast hard one, but slow and soaking; which has always been my preference.

[NA4BH]

Was it a dry soaking?

[K7SGJ]

Was it a dry soaking?

Of course, this is Arizona. The most corrupt state in the union, or so I heard on the news.

[NQ6U]

The NWS says 100% chance of rain here on Friday. Don't see that very often—they usually like to hedge their bets a little bit.

[N2NH]

Of course, this is Arizona. The most corrupt state in the union, or so I heard on the news.

I'll bet they skipped over states that start with "F".

I just saw this. I wasn't gonna tell you, but I spit in your burrito when we went out to eat.

[VE7DCW]

Well it's been nice and warm the last couple of days,temperatures have been around 12 degrees and at a record high of 15 degrees celsius yesterday. .......we have flooding going on in a few areas of Vancouver Island that's looking bad..... with some northern Island places recording rainfall of almost 400 millimeters of rain it's unbelievable!

I'm doing alright here in Duncan....we have had about 120 mm of rain since monday and more on the way......yuck! :yuck:

I just saw this. I wasn't gonna tell you, but I spit in your burrito when we went out to eat.

They told me a little old Chinese lady in the back forms the taco shells, but said I probably shouldn't watch her do it.

No, actually her boss is the Chinese checker.

From the NWS:


Rainfall: Most of the rainfall will be with the front in the morning...with rain rates up to one-half inch per hour possible...Locally more in the San Bernardino County mountains.

So, Pat, a sprinkle, sure—if you call "raining like a muthafucker" a sprinkle. :mrgreen:

Eddie ........ we had 125 millimeters (almost 5 inches)over the last couple of days........ some places a little north of me had about 415 millimeters (almost 17 inches) over the last couple of days.....that's tropical rates for rainfall....bet it would break a few records in the desert :shock:

YOU KNOW that if you were my neighbor, I would definitely share with you. In fact, the NWS would be reporting continuous heavy fog (hemp smoke) in the neighborhood.

[K0RGR]

I've never seen it rain anywhere as hard as it rains in Vancouver, BC. Like a million cows peeing on a flat rock at the same time. I remember stepping out of building when the rain first started, and by the time I made it to the curb, the gutters were bank full! I grew up near the 'rainforest' where the redwoods grow in California, too. The Coast Range in Central Cal is composed mostly of sand. I was there when a whole 'mountain' got so waterlogged it collapsed, burying a small town. http://www.santacruzsentinel.com/general-news/20120106/devastating-disaster-storm-of-1982-left-22-dead-many-more-homeless

Back here, we sometimes get a foot in a day, which results in a massive flood, usually of the 'flash' variety. I only saw one of those in California. We were camped in the mountains on the Mokelumne River, when a cloudburst caused a small dam upstream to break. Fortunately, our vehicle and tent were about 6 feet above the now raging river that had been a gentle stream minutes before, and the road didn't get washed out. That was the fastest teardown of a camp on record, though.

[NQ6U]

I remember the January 1982 storm. I was living in San Mateo County at the time, working a job where I was on the road for most of the day and there were a lot of places I couldn't get to for a long time afterwards.

[NQ6U]

The storm that just finished up with us as viewed from NASA's GOES-West satellite.

This is interesting. It rained over night and into the morning, then cleared with a few clouds here and there just like the NWS said it would. I've been working in the attic for several hours, and hear all this rumbling going on. I come down, and it's like midnight out, thunder, lightning, and raining like a cow standing on a flat roof. It's 63 degrees out, and it's almost worth pulling out my bicycle to go riding in the rain like I did as a kid. Almost..........Besides, I can't find any cards to put in the spokes.

The NWS has issued frost warnings for the inland valleys of San Diego County overnight. This should prove exciting—around here, people freak out whenever the temp drops below 60°F (15°C).

[PA5COR]

Bit of freezing temps now, tomorros 4 - 6 inches snow and temps going down to -10 -15 C here, after a week back to normal, temps just above ) C.
Looks like the USA will get into the deepfreeze around the 30th and when that happens our winter is bye bye...

[W5BRM]

I got lucky on Christmas. Big storm in nv, ut and wy. I broke down in salt lake and got delayed by 12 hours. It was just starting to snow when i got moving in the brand new truck. That storm chased me all across Utah and Wyoming. I guess they got hammered up there. I slept at Cheyenne and what was left of the storm caught up about 2h before i left. I outran it again crossing Nebraska and i think its petered out. I should b good rest of the way to NY and Maine.

[N2NH]

For Christmas, 62 degrees here at 2AM, then into the 50s. Looks like we got the weather Cor had last year. Upper 50s tomorrow, then 40s to 30s for the rest of the week. Considering that the last two years we got over 3 feet of snow before Christmas, and we were below zero for a few days a year ago, this is a great improvement.

[VE7DCW]

It appears we have Arctic out flow warnings in place over the interior of the province of BC out to the coast of Vancouver Island......it's going to get cold again around here with snow possible for the start of the week with the colder temperatures......it's strange behaviour for a supposed el nino.... Que Sera Sera :yuck:

[PA5COR]

Yep, our cold already ran with the tail between the legs.
5-10 C for the next 14 days no frost no winter... and cold in Canada and USA predicted... meaning winter is a nono here like last year.
With 2 days of temp's below 0 C we already had more "winter" as the whole last one of 2013 - 2014....

[KG4CGC]

Weather is all over the place. Hot cold. Wet dry.

[N8GAV]

Looks like we will get something like 3-8 inches of snow into tomorrow. I'm in for the long run, or until Tuesday when I go to the Doctors.

[K7SGJ]

Snow? WTF is that? It just hit 80 outside here. Tomorrow it will probably rain, but I'm sure it will be a dry rain.

[ad4mg]

Extreme blizzard warning issued for the east coast from New Jersey to Maine for Monday, mid-day through Tuesday. Two feet of snow, heavy winds, power outages. If you are in the affected areas, please prepare accordingly and DO NOT underestimate this storm!

[PA5COR]

Stay warm and safe.
Last of our 2" of snow melting getting more of that Thursday...

[N8GAV]

Snow? WTF is that? It just hit 80 outside here. Tomorrow it will probably rain, but I'm sure it will be a dry rain.

Jump into your "Rat Plane", fly over here to Ohio, and I will show you what snow is. I will even let you shovel out my drive way Eddie, what do you think of that?

[VE7DCW]

It was a just a little shy of 15 degrees Celsius today......I don't think we broke any records for warmth in January but I think we were pretty close..... :yes:

[K7SGJ]

Let me get back to you around April or May.

[kb2vxa]

"Extreme blizzard warning issued for the east coast from New Jersey to Maine for Monday, mid-day through Tuesday."
Yep, I read the NOAA warning.

"If you are in the affected areas..."
You mean like New Jersey mebbe?

"...please prepare accordingly and DO NOT underestimate this storm!"
Well I'm about as prepped as I can be under the circumcisions and if the landlord can get here to dig his snow blower out I'll be OK. I managed with the one in the mid 90s that had me snowed in for a couple of days, I don't expect any worse.

[W7XF]

I do not rake.
I do not mow.
I do not scoop the snow.

[n2ize]

I am heading out. When I get back I don't expect to be able to get out of here for a few days. Severe blizzard with intense winds, massive snow drifts is expected to start later this afternoon.. In addition to the white out conditions, extremely high winds, blinding drifting snow blanketing the area it is also expected that coastal areas will experience some heavy flooding from the sea.

[n2ize]

I'm writing this "blizzard" off as a fizzle. We got about 2 inches of snow now it's not snowing and winds are calm. Sounds like the botched this forecast off bad. There ain't gonna be no major blizzard.

[kb2vxa]

I'm writing YOU off as a fizzle! First you went out in left field with my computer problem a day after it left here and repair has begun, now you're so far out with the blizzard you're nowhere near the ballpark. I don't know what you're smoking and really don't WANT to know. (;->)

[w2amr]

[kb2vxa]

Well I being the monkey in the middle got a couple of feet here and it's still accumulating. At least airports are open again except Bangor, ME now in the teeth of it and mass transit back on track except Amtrak off the trak as usual only worse. Speaking of which, I wish the Amcrash parody web site was still around, funny as hell while it lasted. Too bad this isn't my computer with the rail pictures in it or I'd post one of Amwreck with extra power and a BNSF Dash 9 helping, the whole shebang stuck in snow out in the middle of nowhere. All I can say is leave it to the federal railroad to be as fukked up as the federal government.

Got a big, big 0.1" (2.5mm) of rain here yesterday. Construction on the ark has begun.

I suggested to you that if your computer is an old machine you might consider chucking it and replacing it with something new.

As far as the "blizzard" goes it was a fizzle in my area. We got 4 inches of snow as opposed to ther 2 to 3 feet which was originally forecast. If you think I am lying you are welcome to come here and measure the snow on the ground for yourself.

[n2ize]

Yeah , they weren't even close. We were supposed to get 8"-12" overnight. We got maybe an inch.

Wow, you got less snow overnight than we did.

[W5BRM]

Got NO snow in California! The entire northwest been real quiet. Last 5 days, I've been to CA, NV, OR, WA, ID and back to CA. It got a bit chilly in Walla Walla WA with the valley fog setting the fog in. Was 70 degrees in the mountains but down in the valley, fog and 40 degrees for 3 days...lol. I'm near Stockton at the moment and its 66 degrees. Lovin this weather but waiting for the other shoe to drop when i try to get off this coast...lol

Im a couple hundred miles from there at the moment. Unfortunately I'm not going any further west this trip. I delivered in Hermiston 5 days ago. Wish i knew you were up here. I'm headed for Atlanta GA tomorrow so going the wrong direction.

No you are not alone. Pine forests, mountains and snow and cold are my love. I would love to have a cabin just outside of Whitehorse or Dawson in the YT. Not to mention the aurora displays up there. I hope to make it a reality in the upcoming years.

Parked up in Grand Island NE. Roads are sheet ice, 40mph crosswinds from north. Temps around 10f. no salters seen for 150 miles. Multiple bigrig wrecks.

Think this storm caught nebraska by surprise!! LOL. I certainly wasnt expecting it to be this bad here!

Not this time of year. Too cold out there in Nebraska in February.

no. Literally couldn't make it that far. Kept sliding off to the shoulder with the wind pushing me like i was on skates. Ran the rumble strips for last 3 miles to stay on the road!

Parked at ex305 across street from T/A. Couldn't even get into the T/A as it was packed. Got the last space in this little convenience store.

I try not to give that truckstop any business anymore anyway. They got bought out by pilot. Prices on everything including the restaurant went up 30% just because. So i avoid those bosselmans at all cost for my personal spending. My company has me fueling there occasionally but thats all i do. They get no $$$ outta my pocket lol

[NQ6U]

I try not to give that truckstop any business anymore anyway. They got bought out by pilot.

Oh, man, that sucks—last of the really nice independent truck stops. I was there shortly after it opened and it was blown away by how much better it was than the usual Pilot or T/A.

[W5BRM]

Oh, man, that sucks—last of the really nice independent truck stops. I was there shortly after it opened and it was blown away by how much better it was than the usual Pilot or T/A.

They wrecked ALL the Bosselmans. Pretty much every truckstop they take over they wreck it. The unusual thing though is they left the Grandma Max restaurant intact in most of them. They just rammed the prices outta site in it.

Usually the first thing to go is the sit down restaurant and they jam a subway or Wendy's or other FF joint in there. Or they turn it into a flying J and stuff a Dennys in there which is just FF with waitress service.

Soo many of the good stops are gone anymore. Makes me kinda pissed.

[K2HAT]

Had 14 inches of snow here yesterday. It is -11f here at 5am, yes Minus 11f.

ugh the furnace keeps kicking on. I have the thermometer set for 67f inside.

Woke up at 3:30am I was chilly it was 66f and the furnace had just kicked on.

We dodged a 1-ft bullet last Sunday and Monday, but Ma Nature appears to be reloading the weather gun just in time for the weekend. :(

[PA5COR]

At least you have winter and snow and stuff.
Our "winter"here till now is another bummer like last year, when we had no frost no snow no hail whatever.
At least we hhad a few nights below 0C now and some flurry's of snow or hail that lasted on the street for all of a few hours...
Yuck let summer get here soon...

[K7SGJ]

Looks like we are headed back into the 80's again. Too warm, too fast=too many fucking snowbirds.

Makes me want to head to San Diego.......

[kb2vxa]

You have snowbirds? I thought they were an Eastern semi-human species migrating between New England and the Mid Atlantic states and Florida. Their plumage is rather ordinary when they summer up north, but when they fly south on their chosen airline it turns a garish cross between Amazon Parrot and Cuckoo. They're opposite other species, the female is more brightly colored. Their behavior changes too, more Cuckoo. Well, I learn something new every day.

As for the weather, it's a bloody roller coaster warm one day and cold as hell the next. I know that NJ expression about if you don't like the weather wait ten minutes but this is ridiculous!

[NQ6U]

Look out for the Pineapple Express! :irked:

Up here in New York it's just been steadily cold for the past 2 or 3 weeks and it looks like it's going to stay that way for at least another week or two with intermittent snow. We have quite a bit on the ground now. I'll still take this over blazing summer heat and humidity any day.

[W5BRM]

Woke up in Wayne Pa this morning. -5f at 05:00!! Freakin cold! Up here in Hatfield Ma its about 20 with about 18 inches on the ground.

Is your problem grass or woody plants? Goats are browsers, they like leaves and green stems. Sheep are grazers, they like grass.

My browser is a Firefox. Grazin' in the grass, can you dig it? Forget the pigmy goat and get yourself a pigmy pony, then you can go along the border line picking your lonely dental floss. Just pickin' it up an' waxin' it down, in a little box you can sell uptown. Gonna be a dental floss tycoon..............

The local TV stations this morning are in code red alert status. We have the slight possibility of 1/10" of sleet/ice by 9:00am. One station has a mobile reporter out on the road. The breaking news is that the fellow found 3 sleet pellets on the grass in Ashland, about 20 miles north of Richmond.

I'm going to the grocery store to buy beer and burritos (surely they are out of bread and milk by now).

Back to weather, I've been writing about witch's tits and brass monkeys, come the weekend the bottom falls out. I'm hibernating in my bear cave, I picked the only warmish day to forage for food so I'm staying put. January and February are always the coldest months and this one is an Arctic zone, then we March into April.

Yeah, we are forcast to see temps dip in the single digits and even below zero on at least a few nights. In addition to the bitter cold there is also a high wind watch in effect saturday afternoon into sunday afternoon which will accompany a snowstorm and then more bitter cold for at least the next week.

We are actually colder right now than some parts of the Canadian Yukon territory. At this rate I won't have to move up there.

So far this is one of the coldest winters we have had since I've been living here. And yet, despite the cold weather the heavily polluted Bronx River ( less than 1/4 mile from me) still won't freeze. Sometimes after an extremely cold night you will see a yellowish waxy coating on the surface of it "water" but it dissolves as soon as the sun hits it.

Cold?? Hardly. A high of 83°F (28°C) is predicted for tomorrow.

Good for the heating bill though, grass is growing again, seriously thinking about using round up and pave over the stuff like I did in the back garden already....
Sunny, dry now, rest of the month the same as it looks now with slowly rising temps.
2012 and 2013 we had a serious winter, the last 2 including this one were a no winter, as in all the surrounding countries...

We might be seeing some of that snow later tonight into tomorrow. Sounds like the snow is scheduled for the exact time frame that I have to be out on the roads tomorrow. However, it was so windy yesterday the streets are dry and the snow will be light and powdery because it's so cold. No 50's on tap here for next week. Forecast for the foreseeable future is cold. In face some below zero temps on tap for later this. weeks. I still prefer this to hot humid weather. I was out yesterday with just a jacket and I felt comfortable.

However, it was so windy yesterday the streets are dry and the snow will be light and powdery because it's so cold. No 50's on tap here for next week. Forecast for the foreseeable future is cold. In face some below zero temps on tap for later this. weeks. I still prefer this to hot humid weather. I was out yesterday with just a jacket and I felt comfortable.

Depends on how this snow tracks as to how much we get. NWS out of Pittsburgh says we can get 1-2 inches overnight, OR we could get 6-8 inches, they don't know for sure. Another cold front tomorrow night will give us sub-zero temps. into Thursday, with more snow and ice coming Saturday-Sunday. The 50 degree temps. won't get here until the end of next week.

Basically the same forecast here except no 50's at the end of next week. Then again we are getting into late February so we are bound to see some signs of a warm-up soon. If not the end of next week then the week after.

[K7SGJ]

Only 77 degrees F today (25 C for you Gerry) (298.15K), and 84 F 2 days ago (28.8888888889 C for you Gerry) (302.0388888889K)

The rattlesnakes are waking up early, and slithering about already.

What would the temp be in Rankine?

[NQ6U]

Freezing fog? First time I ever heard that one.

I've encountered that in California's central valley. I once had to stop to de-ice the side mirrors on my personal vehicle since, unlike all the Big Trucks I ever drove, it did not come equipped with mirror heaters.

Well Jon the sun is getting higher in the sky, and when it is not cloudy it is warm in the sun when it's out. It was cold here yesterday, high of 9 but sunny and snow in my driveway was melting a little. Yeah we should see some what of a warm up soon it's 32 days until the first day of spring.

Thank you Eddie! You honour me with your accuracy in using Celsius temperatures used world wide! Bravo! :mrgreen:

[KG4CGC]

What would the temp be in Rankine?

16f in Racine WI.

[K7SGJ]

What would the temp be in Rankine?

The same as it is in New River.

Think of the implications of what would happen if the temperature actually got down to absolute zero. Imagine no molecular movement within materials at the zero-point.

You made me shoot beer out of my nose, OH THE BURN. :rofl: :rofl:

[kb2vxa]

Here we have a saying: This is New Jersey, if you don't like the weather just wait ten minutes. With something to complain about every ten minutes he'd be happier than a kid in a room full of bouncy balls. It feels like absolute zero, I don't know about molecules but nothing is moving out there.

69°F at 14:27 PST.

What it makes me would be irrelevant at that temperature.

We're due for at least a week of cold weather. Then there is a day around 40 def F on tap. Then it gets cold again. Right now it's 11 going down to -2.

We got to 13 degrees Celsius today....... 6 degrees above normal that has been that way for about 2 weeks now..... Saturday promises to be warmer still.The neighbour has leaves starting to pop out on his cherry tree.My cherry tree in the back yard isn't quite there yet..... but the peach tree on the side of my house is budding out just nicely 6 weeks ahead of where it normally is! .......this warmer air is coming up from California and Arizona.....thank you Carl and Eddie! ...... :clap:

[ad4mg]

Coldest day so far this year, so Dominion Power suffers an equipment failure at 3:00 am. That's when my power went off. It just came back on 20 minutes ago.

Incredible timing, and the SCC just deregulated Dominion for several years. I expect our already frequent power outages to increase. :angry:

BTW - it's 4° right now, up from a low of 2°.

[NA4BH]

The sleet just started, next comes the ice and snow.

[n2ize]

Coldest February I remember for this area. This morning we were colder than Barrow Alaska, they were 5 deg F we were 1 deg F (up from -1 last night). It's going to warm up into the 20's and 30's (summertime) for the approaching winter storm. Then the temps drop back down. It's going to be cold for at least a week or more.
