No snow at all in our part of Michigan; only a little short-lived white stuff so far this year. We had a very strange New Years Eve, with temperature in the 40's, fairly heavy rain, and thunder and lightning. I can't remember such a thing as thunder and lightning in this part of the country at this time of year; must be those strange signals from hacked satellites.

Here in southern Maine we've had 2 very small snowstorms this year...both of which melted within a day or 2. Right now it's 40° and the sun is out. I'm not complaining. I just hope we don't make up for it in February and get nailed.

it appears most of the snow this year is going to Denver for the ski season.

Yes things can be dreary in the snow! Temperature right now is below 0 f.
Sky is grey. Snow piled everywhere. At least the wind has not yet reached the forecast strength to make it -30.

Austin, TX. from January thru March is blessed with
the pollenation of a robust scrubby bush known as the
Texas Cedar; the male of the species becomes heavy-laden
with pollen to the point that it has a bronze hue, and
the pollen is so heavy that it appears as a smokey mist
in the wind. Life becomes pure hell for folks with
cedar allergies (cedar fever). Other than that the weather is
great.

It's supposed to be about 45 f today. We have not had anything I consider to be winter weather this year. They say we may get six inches of snow this weekend but I've heard that before. Only got a slight dusting once in early December.

I like winter and wish we would get some. It is expected to get cold next week but some of that will depend on whether or not we get that snow.

I think Spring is much better if there has been a real winter.

There is a large weather pattern right now over the western US. It is both windy and cold. Today it should hit Colorado and may bring snow as well as very cold temperatures. This front is large and should be felt from OK throught the Great Lakes for about the next entire week, bringing sub-zero cold, strong winds and icy roads.

The forecast this AM called for up to six inches of snow Sunday/Monday and then highs around 20 with lows around 0. Real winter to be sure but nothing crazy wild. Could be much different elsewhere of course.

Nippy, but no wind this morning.

A nice thing about all the snow we've gotten in Juneau is that our darkest part of the winter has been much brighter because of it.

Incidentally our days are already perceptibly longer. Sunset today is at 3:34 but I noticed the other day that because of the snow it still wasn't dark at 4 o'clock.

As of now (about 5:30 p.m. Seattle time), the temperature is 33^o F. (barely 1^o C.). It snowed a bit last night, starting around evening commute time. Television showed long lines of slowly-moving or non-moving autos on freeways and arterials under snow flurries.

Right now, evening commute time is under way, but I haven't turned the evening news on yet. Earlier news predicted that the currently wet roadways could turn icy if the temperature dropped a degree or two, which it is wont to do. Great weather for body and fender shops.

Barbara and I are hunkered down and we might watch a movie tonight (we subscribe to NetFlix. Just got "Casablanca"—seen it a dozen times or more, but it's a classic, of course—and "Rob Roy" with Liam Neeson. Saw that too, but I want to see it again).

Stay warm.

Here in my part of Sydney (at 3.35pm) it is somewhere in the low-mid 30sC, high humidity, very unpleasant. Possible thunderstorms promised for later in the day. That will be OK, so long as lightning strikes don't start any more bushfires.

The heat turns my brain to mush and I am not good for anything! Can you please send a bit of cold my way?

Vancouver got its first full day of sun in 72 days. Last full sunny day was Hallowe'en. I don't think we went quite that long here on the Island, but possibly we set a record too. Its a bit nippy out tonight, about 24 F and supposed to dip a bit more later on, but the stars are beautiful.

Sure glad the power's on for a change and the only pain in the ass for the next few days will be lugging water for the pony, because his water line is frozen. I'm taking a break from hauling wood for the woodstove, putting my feet up tonight and being thankful for small pleasures, like electric heat and functional toilets.

Same as Jennie G - just had a shower to cool down, and I'm sitting in front of a fan. We've had hotter temperatures than this - it's the humidity that makes it really hard to take.

I think it's about to come to an end soon though. The Weather Bureau has posted a severe thunderstorm warning, I can see something on the radar moving towards us from the west, and it's starting to cloud over. I think I might have just heard my first bit of thunder too.

Better go and bring the washing in!

In Juneau it's snowing again. The tricky part for walking is the fluffy stuff on top of the previous packed snow and ice.

Snow!

That's our weather today here in Colfax, California, at an elevation of 2,300 feet in the Sierra Nevada Foothills. This is the first time we've had snow this season, so it was wonderful to see. We had no precipitation at all in January, so it's going to take some heavy weather to get us up to our 40-inch annual average rainfall and give us some decent spring wildflowers.
We have lots of daffodils in the snow, though. Julian of Norwich would be proud of us - camellias and almond blossoms, too.

Been a great winter so far, eh, sIx? Here in Moncton, it has been an old fasioned no-snow winter. That is, colder than a you know! We might have had about a metre or so all together. Only about a half metre on the ground now. Temps have been -15 to -25 overnight, usually around -15 daytime. WC (windchill) -20 to -35 most of the time. EXCELLENT winter so far!

Well, our latest snow advisory has been cancelled. We got only about 4 inches this latest go 'round. Temperature is 17F and we expect a low of 12 tonight. We're supposed to be heading into single digit lows in the next few days.

I haven't heard lately how much snow we've had this winter but it's way above normal for us.

For some reason I expect Spring to arrive with a crash. And maybe a warm (for us) summer. Last summer was so cool and wet that no one was happy.

Speaking of mosquitoes, Joe, in the Oregon mountains I've seen what appeared to be mosquitoes IN the snow. I don't know what else they could have been.

Anyway, the Weather Service is forecasting a blizzard, of all things, for Juneau today beginning around noon. It's just past 10:00 right now and fine snow is flinging about. They tell us that we're expecting 8 to 14 inches accumulation, with winds up to 65 mph.

We'll see. By the way, it is COLD.
