Here we only got to 31. Sooo close. But some forecasters are saying we'll be in the mid-50s this weekend. Hope I'm fast enough to see that happen. Seems to only last a few minutes.Quote:

In Joplin Mo this morning. Went to bed at 34 degrees last night. Woke up to a very pleasant 46! Actually was too hot in the truck for me this morning and hadda open a window! SOO nice being back in warm temps. On my way home to Oklahoma and its supposed to be 71 degrees on Sunday I think!!
Looks like yyou guy's get another cold snap next week, our predicted light winter is now from the books and temps norma; + 5 C at night just above 0.
Not seen a winterday yet, though my gas bill is now extremely low ;)
Send some stuff over from there, don't be so greedy and keep it all yourself you hear?
46º and a hard thunderstorm.
"Hope I'm fast enough to see that happen. Seems to only last a few minutes."
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. (;->)
Yesterday forecast: Flurries High 37.
Reality: 4" of snow, Hazy. High 33.
Last night, freezing fog and rain. Right now 32.
Today, ice storm turning into torrential rain. 54.
Ready for spring, but who knows.
.
. . .It's 34 F, calm wind, and clear sky. Good to see the sun again. :)
April showers bring May flowers.
I expect to see blooms out front next month.
April showers bring Mayflowers, much to the dismay of the locals who said "Well, there goes the neighborhood."
Gov of Virginia just took the Oath in a driving rain storm. We had a thunderstorm here. I can't believe they didn't make indoor arrangements for inclement weather. I can see a kid's school choir, VMI honor guard, Army National Guard and a lot of Virginia Politicians coming down with Frog Throat and the flu by Monday.
58 and raining here feels nice
Don't worry, they have Obamacare now.Quote:

Currently in the low 40s and sunny. Heard geese flying north and there's a spring-like feel to the air. I wonder if things will warm up after the next week?
Brunswick Ga. A GLORIOUS 61 degrees! Dunno whats its supposed to be nxt week tho
Nope, new polar vortex is on it's way for the USA.
http://www.theatlanticcities.com/pol...ext-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.../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. 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...
Doesn't bother me none. In fact it's good, it will prepp me for my future life in the far north.Quote:

Dodged a bullet here. Got a dusting of snow instead of 3-6" predicted. I wonder how the seaboard made out? NYC?
Ouch. Forget I asked.Quote:
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.
Snow? Not here.
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.
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.
Chilly here, too. Barely hit 72°F.
I had to go into town yesterday, and it was in the mid 80's, so I came back home just to cool off.
Got the beer sitting in the garage, it will be colder than the fridge.
What's the temp supposed to drop to where you live?Quote:

We're forecast to be in negative Farenheith territory early next week. Weds, 9 was the high, Thurs, 20 (we beat the forecasted 17), today, 16 forecasted, 20 right now. The bathroom door is closed. 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.
Summer is overdue in my book. I'll trade Mr. Desert Rat 25 degrees so we can hit 24 tonight. ;)
