Most of last week, it was close to 30C and sunny here in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. Tonight.......

Snow at times heavy becoming mixed with periods of ice pellets mixed with rain overnight. Snow and ice pellet amount 10 to 15 cm. Wind becoming northeast 30 km/h late this evening. Low zero.

Some fun in The Maritimes, eh?

Hello,

The weather here was delightful,
We've just had our dose of sun,
But true to the tradition
The rain has now begun!

We had a glorious April.
The weather felt like June.
But now it won't stop raining.
It's like a darn monsoon!

Best wishes,

Peter

Ebbie, what you saw were probably Choronomids. The look quite similar to mosquitoes when they hatch, but they don't bite. Some years here they even show up in January in large numbers amongst the salal.

My sympathies gnu, we're having a less extreme form of that kind of weather on this coast too. A sunny 26C yesterday and then the wind came up and blew all that lovely weather away. Its cloudy again and a low of 6 is predicted for tonight.

We keep getting tantalized with a few warm sunny days and then it gets chilly again....warm spring weather arrived really late this year. We had salmon berry still blooming last week, when some years its finished blooming in late February and early March.

The only things that bloom here in February and March are nipples.

We don't have any weather here today. The weatherman got sick. He couldn't do his report. There's nothing but a big, blank, indeterminate nothing out there right now. No rain, no sun, no clouds, no snow, no nothing. It's spooky.

Changing -- yet again today. I can tell because my shoulder (broken in December and fixed with a plate and screws) feels as if a tight elastic girdle is squeezing it -- and layers of muscle are "sticking" as they pull away from each other. (Feeling sort of like your bare tush when it sticks to a caned chair seat when you stand up.) Not painful (like winter weather-related pain) but mildly uncomfortable. Stiff.)

Dawned fair and humid, had thunder showers, then steady rain, now -- who knows. Sigh.

Settled down to fairly steady rain this morning and kept it up all day. (Still raining -- it's about 6:30 p.m. here.) Low 70s (F.) Unbelievably humid. Thunderstorms earlier.

We've been having at least one thunderstorm a day for the past almost a week. Sometimes I've been driving in a total downpour but having to have my sunglasses on because of the sun and blue sky ahead. Lots of ground fog and patchy fog no higher than the trees -- very soft and layered landscape.

Nothing extreme here right now in our spot of S.E. Michigan, just a light blanket of snow and chilly, but with a few more inches expected today and tomorrow.

It hasn't been that bad in southeast Alaska, Dean, but it's seriously brutal farther north and in the interior of Alaska. Juneau has had zero temperatures for lows and up to 15 or so in the daytime but up there for the last two weeks some places they've been registering 45-64 MINUS.

The other day it was warmer in Barrow - at the top of the state and much closer to the North Pole - than it was in a number of places a great deal farther south.

In Anchorage, which is on the water, which means the ocean should be moderating the weather, they've been minus zero temperatures even in the daytime.

As they say, the world may end not with a bang but a whimper... :)

Rain, rain and more rain. Just shy of 3" in the past 24 hours and more on the way. We are about to get clear of the remnants of Ida, but a strong low pressure right off the coast is tailgating her, and will bring another couple of inches. Already starting to get wind from that system.

Well, if I were to tell you of the weather we're having now in the Sierra Nevada Foothills of California, I'd be accused of gloating.

But it's beautiful, so I'll tell you anyhow. Chilly and clear at night, brisk in the morning, and very comfortable in the afternoon. A nice smattering of fall color, blue skies, and spectacular sunsets.

When I was working in Sacramento on Monday, it was downright balmy.

Downtown Juneau is expecting its first snow mixed with rain today and tomorrow. The mountains all around us have been white for a couple of months and the valley area where the glaciers are (7 to 10 miles away from downtown) has had some snow on the ground but downtown is next to the ocean and the air currents are different too, so we are warmer -and rainier - than they.

Our temperatures have been dipping to the low 30s and rising to the low 40s.

The rain finally left. Yesterday turned sunny and 65F. Today sunny and 75F. Temps still quite moderate and my windows are still open. Spent the day washing windows, blowing leaves, cleaning off the carport, etc. and some time tonight sitting outside with a glass of wine, watching the moon and listening to the thinning chorus of night insects.

Average 1st frost date here is about October 15. I still have impatiens in bloom.

Well, we got a bit more snow than expected. We have a good 7 or 8 inches out there - more than that in the valley - and more snow is forecast for the next several days. Most purdy.

We're drying out after the record-setting five inches of rain overnight on Saturday night, and the temperature is in the mid-fifties. It is not supposed to be this warm in Maine at this time of year. This is unnatural and no good will come of it.

I was thinking that it was pretty chilly here in Anchorage at -5F yesterday morning. But I just returned from Fairbanks where this morning's temperature was -41F which, as it turns out, is -41C also. Very cool, in more ways than one.
