Temperatures this morning in Midcoast Maine: 36 F inside; 21 F outside. It's cold.

We had snow along with a rainbow last week. So far, no precipitation has reached the ground as snow here.

Snow. Welll, fluffies. Only supposed to get 5cm. -9 last night. The last four potted plants are not caring too much for it (in the garage, of course)... the begonia looks half dead and and I expect it will be by tomorrow.

Great day for a boiled smoked ham picnic shoulder with green beans, carrots, spuds, cabbage... and WARMTH from the hob. Smells good eh?

Fierce winds shaking the camper tonight are equally effective in keeping us from sleep. The moon and stars were bright when I came in from the chicken house tonight. I could easily skirt the perimeter of the filled foundation without a flashlight. I'm about to go back outside to unhook the ringing wind chimes for the night.

Here in the Sierra Nevada Foothills of California, we had a dusting of snow in the morning, and rain all day. Probably a bit more snow tonight, and maybe a lot of it.
I grew up in Wisconsin, but sometimes get snow earlier here in California (but much warmer winters overall).

It has been a rather warm autumn with only a couple of veggie-killing cold nights, but in the last last few hours the Nevada sagebrush got snow. Looks like Christmas.

The ski resorts in the Sierras will be real happy with this amount of snow this early. Make your ski reservations now and avoid the late rush.

Yup, the begonia is a begoner, the purlple mini petunia is a ptuie and the fuscia is a fuscta. Maeve suggested I take cuttings from the snapdragon so I garbage bagged it and brought it in... I opened the bag this AM and it smiled at me. I'd keep it in the house but there's no telling of what manner of wee beasties it harbours.

And the snow stuck and stayed on everything, even the pave. I had to salt around Mum's back door.

We had a southern day here is Missouri - lovely, moist air about 60 degrees that must have come up from the Gulf of Mexico. Made us think we were in Florida.

Ah, the middle of the continent. Some days it feels like Florida, some days it feels like Canada, some days it feels like hell.

The camper has been shaking all last night and all day today from extremely strong winds. It's cold; we can feel it seeping in through every possible crack. Winds appear to be dying down as night falls.

To those folks in the Rockies and points east: duck. This storm has snow, wind and cold.

It was 8^o F last night in the Nevada sagebrush and is going up to about 28 for a high. That is colder that Fairbanks, Alaska, for the same day.

Yees, b'y... I can see it being a nasty winter here too. Especially after we had the best winter here last year I can ever recall. Well, there was a couple that I really liked, like the year I shovelled 45 minutes... ALL winther but it was SO cold.

In any case, I hope it doesn't get too bad for anyone. Especially my friend maeve who is trying to get a ew house built way to late in the construction season.

We've been riding this boat on rough seas, g. I'm not so worried about capsizing now that the hellhole has been filled in, but it is unsettling and makes for a rough night. The camper rocks strongly enough we can feel each gust.

We're in no danger; just thought I'd post our weather.

coming out of an icey few days..30 degrees F, cold but no wind, which is unusual. I think it went down to 19 or so...which if the wind blows is really cold for here..not bad if the sun is shining and no wind though. I live right on the ocean..didn't feel a draft in my little cabin but a real wind blowing right through it. But it is sturdy..most of our winter weather is strong winds and driving rain even though temps are usually mid 40s. mg

65 yesterday, 50 today. Last night I saw chem trail cloud formations from high altitude jets. THis is the first I have seen any in 3 weeks. Why at night? I thought their whole purpose was to lower ground temeratures. Its very confusing.

Spotted the first snow an hour ago when I put out the rubbish for the bin men. About 8 tiny flakes! Not enough to dim the nearby lights! But it is unusual here, in north west Kent, close to London, this side of Christmas.

It's late fall and the Indians on a remote reservation in South Dakota asked their new chief if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild.
Since he was a chief in a modern society, he had never been taught the old secrets. When he looked at the sky, he couldn't tell what the winter was going to be like.
Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he told his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect firewood to be prepared.
But, being a practical leader, after several days, he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, 'Is the coming winter going to be cold?'
'It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold,' the meteorologist at the weather service responded.
So the chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more firewood in order to be prepared.
A week later, he called the National Weather Service again. 'Does it still look like it is going to be a very cold winter?'
'Yes,' the man at National Weather Service again replied, 'it's going to be a very cold winter.'
The chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of firewood they could find.
Two weeks later, the chief called the National Weather Service again. 'Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?'
'Absolutely,' the man replied. 'It's looking more and more like it is going to be one of the coldest winters we've ever seen.'
'How can you be so sure?' the chief asked.
The weatherman replied, 'The Indians are collecting a huge load of firewood'
