Well, I DID say it was going to rain and if it gets cold enough Wednesday night this mess will turn to snow. Should be sunny Turkey Day but windy and cold.

Sounds good to me. Except I would say "cool" as opposed to "cold". To me "cold" < -20 deg FQuote:

Been raining all day, about 1.5". Humidity very high. Morning low expected to be around 26º. Are people going to stay home?
When I worked at the kayak plant, one morning it was frozen roads. It wasn't my shift that week but a lot of people didn't make it for their shift. The following pay period, the company prez decided that no one on that shift was being paid, at all.
So, how does that play out in South Carolina? The SC labor commission informed the prez that he would have to pay them all triple. Even in this state, not paying your employees doesn't stand. That was 2006. Things may have changed since then.
That same storm dumped 2.99" of dihydrogen monoxide here in Marijuana..... and a foot of snow on Mt. Lemmon. Enjoy, Wrong Coast!!
Well....... the crazy weather time of year has arrived....... it's not even an La Nina year and the weatherman has warnings out that arctic front conditions are going to hit us on the coast of British Columbia......they're warning sometime this weekend with very cold,snowy and blowing snow conditions expected.....this, telling us when it's 13 degrees Celsius outside at the moment! Yikes!! .... nothing like experience of extremes in the blink of an eye! :yuck:
I heard something similar for next weekend. I hope this doesn't set up as a cycle that repeats itself over and over. The South really can't handle snow more than once or twice a year. The economy would collapse and they would shut down social services to pay for road maintenance. The business people around here threaten to pull out if the roads are not cleared and that year it stayed very cold for prolonged periods the counties and then the state ran out of money for road clearing and no other crew from other states could help because everyone was getting slammered that year.Quote:

Lots of rain the last day's with some sunny periods, 7 C temps looking like it will become colder next week with later some snow.
Might get a little rain today, then it's going to warm up into the mid-seventies for the next few day. After that, there's a cooling trend predicted—or what passes for one around here. By Wednesday next week, the highs will "only" reach into the high fifties. People will be donning their down parkas and mukluks.
Parkas? Mikluks?Quote:

We're used to that in New Jersey. We have a saying; if you don't like the weather, wait 10 minutes.
Same here. My ancestry came from places where it was bitter cold. 40 and above I wear a tee shirt outdoors. 20-30 I wear a long sleeve shirt. Less than 20 I might wear a light jacket.Quote:

Freezing rain and sleet outside now. Winter sucks
"Winter sucks"
I tend to agree, but you DO live in Wintersville. Then there is Winterthur, Switzerland, John and Edgar Winter.............
What you call winter will be warm to me when I move up to the Yukon in about 9-10 years. You can keep the blazing heat waves, tornadoes and hurricanes.
Due to global warming, in 10 years, the Yukon will be like the jungles of Ecuador.Quote:

Snow. For about 12 hours. They're forecasting 2" but the last time it snowed that long, they said 3" and we got 43".
To be followed by yet another storm just two days later. That will be the fourth storm in a bit over a week.
last year we got about 7 feet of snow with drifts covering houses. I had to leave the house from the top floor wearing snowshoes. NYC even got hit harder and in particular East New York Brooklyn got about 10-15 feet including a snownado. I have a feeling this year will be worst. This coming storm will probably dump at least 4-5 feet and then the next one later next week at least another 5-190 feet.Quote:

Feeling quite comfy actually outside.
That goes for much of Europe now, warmer temperatures as normal, seems you guys got all the fun..
You all must have been bad this year. We are getting snow to get ready for Santa's sleigh and reindeer. Obviously the sleigh and reindeer can't fly or land in 150 km/hr winds and tropical temperatures. :naughty:Quote:

Well I remember what I saw when I tried to step out of the house here and came to the realization that we were buried in snow. All the exits and lower floors were completely buried. Anyway I think this year will be the year of intense blizzards and snowstorms.Quote:

Just looke at the 14 day ahead expectations, too warm, some rain high pressure over us.
Joe Bastardi eat your heart out ;) wrong again....
Santa can add some wheels to his sled can't he? ;)
Here's a laugh from the National Weather Service for my area:
Late Afternoon Snow and freezing rain. High near 37. Northeast wind around 11 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. Little or no ice accumulation expected. Little or no snow accumulation expected.
Tonight Rain and snow before 8pm, then rain, snow, and sleet between 8pm and 9pm, then rain after 9pm. Temperature rising to around 41 by 4am. East wind 10 to 14 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Little or no snow accumulation expected.
Monday Rain, mainly before 2pm. High near 51. East wind 8 to 15 mph becoming west in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New precipitation amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.
Monday Night Mostly cloudy, with a low around 34. West wind 10 to 13 mph.
Tuesday A slight chance of rain and snow showers before 10am, then a chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 38. Northwest wind around 11 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.
It's been snowing like hell since around 9:00am (now 2:30pm) with no end in sight, with all that snow in the air I can't see past the end of the block. That's when the snow is supposed to end Tuesday night BTW, then start all over again Saturday.
"Obviously the sleigh and reindeer can't fly or land in 150 km/hr winds and tropical temperatures."
Obviously what? Reindeer can crab and how do you think Santa delivers goodies in Australia? FYI he often takes a break at Bondi Beach and goes surfing before continuing on his way. I guess you've never seen him wearing shorts and basking in the sun drinking a mai tai.
Cold and damp today but it's supposed to warm back up and be damp over the week.
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.Quote:

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.
Tingle in my bones just thinking about the weather.
Quiver in my voice as i cry.
Such a cold and a rainy day.
Where on earth is the sun, anyway.
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:
Meeeee too. It's only gotten down to 24F so far this winter, but it did freeze my basil plant all to hell. There goes pizza night.Quote:

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