Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST,hg Date: 18 Apr 11 - 04:22 PM 82 and sunny in North Florida. The spring blooms are waning, with coral honeysuckle, jasmine and knockout roses holding steady. Crape myrtle will be coming into bloom next, the blueberries are ripening, and the figs are starting to grow just a tiny bit. I've picked romaine and bibb lettuce and tomatoes are ripening.... |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST,mg Date: 17 Apr 11 - 04:16 PM Beautiful spring day like we should have had in February. Yesterday was freezing and windy, like January, but today is sunny and breezy. Probably 50 degrees. Yesterday must have been in low 30s, or at least felt that way. mg |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 17 Apr 11 - 04:02 PM That's some nasty stuff down south. Saw the damage on the TV. frightening. 37 dead. Stay safe Janie. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 16 Apr 11 - 07:36 PM Gosh... I am lucky here in Moncton. It's good weather compared to youse, Take care eh. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 16 Apr 11 - 06:57 PM Dark and drear again in Calgary. Light snow. About nine inches here last weekend, a foot more added at my daughter's place bordering Kananaskis Park, she has to use the big diesel truck to get feed to the horses. Over 450 cm base at the Fernie Ski area, B. C, on the mountain back of my younger son's place. Spring might come sometime in May. If we're lucky. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Janie Date: 16 Apr 11 - 05:51 PM The storm that has been causing havoc throughout the south made for a tense morning and afternoon - the weather radio was blaring alert after alert as the squall line moved through - and a boring 10 minutes huddled in the hallway during a warning for a tornado that missed me by a good 6 miles. Eastern North Carolina is getting battered right now. Reports are still preliminary but sounds like there will be some significant damage here and there from Raleigh east. It was really quite something. The fastest moving and most intense squall line I've experienced since moving to NC 26 years ago. I'm fine. Got 1 3/4 inches of rain in one 15 minute period, and then the whole thing had moved on. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Ebbie Date: 12 Apr 11 - 03:45 AM Tonight began our Alaska Folk Festival. From midApril to the end of June is typically our driest, brightest weather. There have been years when people with their instruments gathered in parks and street corners and played and sang. Not today, for sure. It started with snow and ended with drippy rain and chilly temperatures. Who knows what tomorrow will bring. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 11 Apr 11 - 09:08 PM 9 days ago... snowstorm... about 8". At the moment, thunderstorm. I am pissed at Mum Nature. She need some good drugs to chill out man. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity Date: 16 Mar 11 - 01:50 AM Spring is creeping in, and telling the cold, that its days are numbered...........till winter sulks for a few months, then gets even. GfS |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 15 Mar 11 - 09:50 AM Mum can see out her front room window. The snow is down by about a metre. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST,Patsy Date: 15 Mar 11 - 08:57 AM Beautiful sunny and warm, hurray the thermals can come off. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST,Patsy Date: 14 Mar 11 - 09:23 AM It was a crisp frost this morning but really pleasant with pretty sunshine. The sun is shining, everyone is smiling hope it stays like this for just a little bit longer. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Jeri Date: 13 Mar 11 - 09:37 PM The geese were less pointy? I can see grass, and the seasonal run-off streamlet in back is running off. It was still cold, but there were men out wearing shorts and T-shirts. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST,999 Date: 13 Mar 11 - 09:31 PM Snow and ice around, but the river's breaking up. Saw about 1200 snow geese returning, and they pretty much indicate that spring is soon to arrive. If geese are too high up to see markings, you can tell the difference anyway because Canadian geese fly in V formations, and you can see a point to the V. Snow geese look like a boomerang or the top half of a letter O cut in two. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Bill D Date: 13 Mar 11 - 08:46 PM 1st day of daylight savings, and wonderful (a wee mite cool, but sunny) weather! Everyone was out (Sunday) chopping up fallen branches & filling bags & barrels for tomorrow's recycling collection. I will have several weeks to get caught up. I wish I had invested in a chipper 20 years ago. Still, the early bloomers are showing their noses and if I work fast, I can get ahead of some of the weeds and ivy that is hard to even get to if I wait till May...... |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST,mg Date: 13 Mar 11 - 08:36 PM very windy and rainy this morning but now it is sunny sort of and windy. The wind blows so much here it blows the rainclouds away sometimes. I am very grateful that for the tsumani evacuation we had very reasonable weather..I walked 4 miles with a pack and even with raingear would have been drenched..a number of teens came to evacuation center wearing only shorts..hopefully they had other stuff in cars. mg |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 13 Mar 11 - 02:53 PM SPRING has SPRUNG! I was just outside and heard the first true sound of spring... a motorcycle! Suppose to snow tonight tho... |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Bettynh Date: 04 Mar 11 - 03:01 PM Well, we're above freezing again at least. Time to make maple sugar around here. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 28 Feb 11 - 01:02 PM Take a wild guess. Gowan. Glad I got the rooves shovelled off when I did. I put a couple of pics of Mum and me standing in our front room windows on Saturday on my Flickr page. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Ebbie Date: 28 Feb 11 - 11:36 AM Maeve, my troubles pale alongside yours! Although this is a drafty old building with insufficient heat, I have four floors to roam around in, and as the manager, plenty of work to do. Where the advantage is on your side, not on mine, is the bright world Spring will bring you. Chin up- it will come. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: maeve Date: 28 Feb 11 - 08:41 AM Snow snow snow snow snow. Wind. Ice. Snow. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST,Patsy Date: 28 Feb 11 - 08:15 AM The wind is a bit chilly here in Bristol now and grey clouds with a few spots of rain but the odd glimpse of sun. For the last day in February it's ok compared to last year's snow which seemed to go on and on. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Ebbie Date: 28 Feb 11 - 01:07 AM Oh, and KT, two people have told me that the news tonight said it will be like this the rest of the week. Sounds like December - or was it January? - all over again. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: KT Date: 28 Feb 11 - 12:02 AM Those chilly winds are unceasing! Sounds like a freight train is tearing around the house! |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Janie Date: 27 Feb 11 - 11:18 PM Whereas here in north central North Carolina, spring has sprung - early and dry. Some fairly wild temperature fluctuations, but all mild compared to many other places. High tomorrow 80F, high Tuesday is predicted to be 55F. That sort of thing has been the pattern for the past few weeks. Has been a weird winter. Colder average temps and more frozen precipitation, but much lower precipitation over-all, and no periods of what for us is extreme cold. And now a much warmer and drier February than is typical, in spite of significant fluctuation in temps. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Ebbie Date: 27 Feb 11 - 09:49 PM In Juneau Alaska we're back in the bitter stuff. High winds- 84 mph has been the highest clocked so far, I think - but it has been mighty gusty the last two or three days. Temperature around 10F today- with the wind chill you might say it is cool. This drafty old building is chilling now- it took awhile to permeate the walls, I guess. This is forecast to last until Tuesday morning - earlier they had said *Monday* morning, so who knows. My little Chinese Crested Hairless dog is wearing 1 and 1/2 sweaters, a coat and a 'robe' pinned around his neck. He looks like Yul Brynner swooping around in The King and I. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST,open mike Date: 27 Feb 11 - 02:28 AM had snow for a few days..got 10-12 inches.. power is out and phones are intermittant at best. i have been away from home for several days...I had several gigs... babgysitting 2 year old grandson playing at 2 birthday parties and helping to shear sheep... i am not looking forward to being back home with no electric,and no pnone. with no power, the pump is also out, so no water either. with no wood stove, there will be no heat i heat with propane, but the heater requires electricity ... so life will be miserable without power... back when i used to live in a cabin with a wood stove, gravity flow water, and wood burning water heater, power outages did not bother me...the only fear was spoiled food when the fridge and freezer were without power...but i could still cook, bathe, and keep warm without needing electricity.... not so any more in my motor home.... the highway was closed due to multiple jack-knifed big rigs and the dirt road into my place may not be cleared yet, although the high way and the county road have rbeen plowed, so i hear. since the fire 3 years ago there are still standing dead trees, and many were toppled by the weight of the snow. this was the cause of some of the downed power and phone lines. i will try to return home tomorrow when the temps get above freezing...i do not want to try to drive the steep mountain roads when it is below freezing. ..will send update when I make my way back home... i am about 20 miles away now at my daughter and son-in-law's house. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: pdq Date: 25 Feb 11 - 02:38 PM Predicted to be the coldest day this season in the sagebrush desert. Tonight may get down to 0o F and tomorrow just 23o F high. We had a freak cold spell in early November with one day of 5o F low and 28o F high. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 25 Feb 11 - 02:09 PM Snowing again. 35cm and 90kph gusts. That pic two posts ago... the lads were shovelling out the soil stacks, laundry vents and exhaust fan vents so they'll be at it again on Monday. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST,Patsy Date: 23 Feb 11 - 08:31 AM I was in Salisbury over the weekend and it was quite dry with glimpses of sun but chilly. Back here in Bristol the temperatures are starting to climb to double figures but dull damp grey. It has been a weird Winter rather than interesting, plummeting to cold temperatures and then 13-15 degrees in the early hours and then plummeting again. My Isle of Wight friend has reported the same kind of temperature changes on the Island, one minute shivering and the next breaking out in a sweat. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Little Hawk Date: 21 Feb 11 - 12:34 PM Bright, sunny, and cold out there. A nice day to look at the scenery. The Groundhog expresses cautious optimism about the approach of Spring. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: maire-aine Date: 21 Feb 11 - 10:49 AM We (SE Michigan) got about 10" of snow (drifts to twice that) overnight. Just finished digging out my driveway/sidewalk. Frogprince, how much did you get? Maryanne |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Ebbie Date: 20 Feb 11 - 02:59 PM In Juneau, Alaska we just got out of a winter storm warning situation that brought us about a foot of snow but the temperature is just at freezing so it probably won't last long. Very pretty though. We've had a mild winter, except for when it wasn't. A couple of times it was brutal- high winds, low temperatures and slicing snow. This time it started out that way but the winds died and it became lovely. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Little Hawk Date: 19 Feb 11 - 07:34 PM Vicious winds buffeted this locality all last night...moderating today as the day went on. A lot of small stuff came down from the trees, along with a bit of blowing snow. The Groundhog has locked his front door and won't answer the doorbell. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 18 Feb 11 - 01:08 PM Snow, mixed precip, freezing rain, and now rain... which will reverse order near dusk. Which actually isn't a bad thing on accounta I had my roof shovelled off and I had to make a ramp up to the front door and clear clear a metre of snow from the front door... that crystalized stuff that's hard to stick a shovel blade into. |
