Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 07 Jan 24 - 08:38 AM Wake up, everybody . . . Southwestern New England here, and we have about four inches of snow. It's still falling, but lightly. |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 08 Jan 24 - 03:04 PM Total of six inches, but now we have a high wind advisory which will contribute, I fear, to low visibility when driving. THe snow is pretty in the sunshine, though. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Steve Shaw Date: 08 Jan 24 - 06:26 PM It's stopped raining but it's turned nippy. A bit brass monkey. Positively parky. A lazy wind (goes through you instead of round you). Three minutes at a bus stop and you're dead. |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 09 Jan 24 - 11:38 AM Tonight, high winds may bring down power lines, and rain may induce flooding as the snow melts. Not boring, anyway . . . |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Stilly River Sage Date: 09 Jan 24 - 11:48 AM From the New York Times and probably many other sources, 2023 was officially the hottest year on record (of this modern era when such measurements are being taken.) Month after month global temperatures didn’t just break records, they surpassed them by far. This year could be even warmer. The numbers are in, and scientists can now confirm what month after month of extraordinary heat worldwide began signaling long ago. Last year was Earth’s warmest by far in a century and a half. Meanwhile, here in the neighborhood it has been very windy. The leading edge of the storm blowing across the US this week, bringing much colder temperatures by the weekend (even in the south it will be well below freezing). |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: MaJoC the Filk Date: 11 Jan 24 - 08:58 AM The month-by-month temperature graphs I saw on the TV worried me more than somewhat: from May onward, 2023's temperatures were *way* higher than the previous records. It looks like we've already passed a tipping point, and the average isn't yet 1.5degC above pre-industrial levels. Does anybody have the technical drawings for an ark handy? |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 16 Jan 24 - 10:59 AM We have snow falling today. Because the temperatures are below freezing, the snow is the dry light powdery sort. it looks very pretty on the bare tree branches and trunks. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Mrrzy Date: 16 Jan 24 - 02:23 PM Snow! Finally! |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Donuel Date: 16 Jan 24 - 06:52 PM The models that combined El Ninyo with a polar vortex were correct. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Donuel Date: 17 Jan 24 - 07:39 AM Changing seasons have their own taste and aroma. Winter begins with cinnamon and grows bitter with the cold. Spring is sweet and barbecues return. Summer is tender with vegetables and fruit. Autumn smells like cider and warm freshly baked bread. |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 17 Jan 24 - 08:48 AM warm & humid, plus rain (tho not at the moment!)- it's heading towards 1 am, & we've had some heavy rainstorms this evening. Thursday's forecast sez more of the same, tho not much rain! |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: harpgirl Date: 17 Jan 24 - 11:18 PM It was 20f last night in north Florida. The wonky jet stream from global warming blasted that frigid air all the way down to us. I lost all my in ground plants but the fruit trees are dormant right now so no loss. and everything grows back here in Florida, anyway eventually. My precious plants are overnighting in my living room. So sad about gnu…. |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 19 Jan 24 - 02:44 PM Snowing again! Lightly, though, which is good news -- we've had enough precipitation that there is a risk of flooding, which we don't need. |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 21 Jan 24 - 02:24 PM It is colder than the proverbial witch's you-know-what. Simply brutal. And the roads are treacherous with snowdrifts from the high chilly winds. |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: MaJoC the Filk Date: 21 Jan 24 - 04:51 PM Storm force winds throughout the UK, with a side dish of rain that's blown so hard that it feels like hail. Curiously, despite the recent flooding of local farmland, our local reservoir looks half-empty .... only the English can manage to produce a drought in the middle of a monsoon. |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 23 Jan 24 - 07:00 PM Warming up, which is welcome news. Freezing rain and snow, not so good news. |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Helen Date: 24 Jan 24 - 05:27 PM You want warmer weather, keb? Come over to Oz for our two days of major heatwaves. LOL Newcastle NSW usually misses most of the really hot weather because we get the coastal breezes but the forecast is for two days of 40 to 41 deg Celsius (approx 104 to 106 deg Fahrenheit) today and tomorrow. Luckily a cool wind is predicted for tomorrow afternoon. This all follows a few weeks of unusually high humidity, even at night. I'm over it. Tomorrow is Invasion Day, aka Survival Day, known by the English colonisers as Australia Day. A public holiday where a huge number of people are expected to flock to the beach or other water areas and subsequently get heatstroke. Not me. I'm staying indoors with the block-out blinds drawn, sipping my strawberry flavoured, home made iced tea spritzer. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 24 Jan 24 - 07:02 PM I've just been warned to be careful walking back to my residence; under the rain puddles on the sidewalk, there is ice. I've been advised to stay on the snow-covered grass . . . |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 26 Jan 24 - 07:11 PM So, just in time for the rain to have thawed both snow and ice, we have a Sunday forecast for a major snowstorm. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Donuel Date: 26 Jan 24 - 10:00 PM On Monday it was 7 and our kid slipped doing volunteer work and broke his kneecap. Today was 72 and I sprained/tore the ligaments in my fingering hand opening a window with one finger for the cat . |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 27 Jan 24 - 02:58 PM Why summers are getting more humid and how that can be dangerous I went to bed at midnight with a fan blowing cool air on me at 85% humidity & woke at 6 to 98% - 45 mins later it has fallen to only 95%. We're expecting a warm day of 27C (mid 80sF) tho in the past few weeks we've had days in the mid 30s, over 100F. Since time immemorial When I got home from work or whatever, I always change into a housedress - but twice this week I've dropped sodden clothes into the hamper & had a shower. By the time I go to bed in this kind of weather, I often feel like I could benefit from another one! In recent days skin cancer experts were warning people to cover up &/or keep out of the sun as record crowds flocked to beaches!! |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Stilly River Sage Date: 28 Jan 24 - 02:40 PM Much of January has been overcast here in North Texas. The mood follows the gloom, so today's bright warm blue sky is a welcome burst of energy. Time to start getting the garden ready for some of the crops that do well in the cooler months - potatoes, onions, and asparagus. Working in the sunshine helps health and mood even more than just seeing it through an open door. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 03 Feb 24 - 08:32 PM In the southwestern New England area, they are reporting that this past month was one of the "mildest" January months on record. This in spite of two modest snowstorms. We might get some snow this month, and then again . . ? |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 07 Feb 24 - 05:14 PM Bracing for an early thaw, some danger of flooding. |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Mrrzy Date: 07 Feb 24 - 06:53 PM Cold at n8ght but nice in the dsy, now |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 10 Feb 24 - 07:44 PM The storm that brought rain to Texas is poised to bring snow to the New England area in a few days. |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 13 Feb 24 - 01:27 PM The snowstorm stayed far enough to the south that only southernmost New England got the heavy snow. The rest of us got a mere dusting of snow. |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 14 Feb 24 - 07:18 PM Having dodged the snowstorm, we are now below freezing and there is a bitterly cold wind blowing. It is supposed to stay this way for a while. I'll be relieved when the temperatures become more moderate and the wind dies down. |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 16 Feb 24 - 04:35 PM Blow, blow, thou winter wind . . . |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Donuel Date: 16 Feb 24 - 07:46 PM A couple weeks ago a weather front in the morning resembled a 2,000 foot high Tsunami with white breakers at the top about to sweep over the land. |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 17 Feb 24 - 06:31 PM A snow squall swept through the area today. Not that much fell, but it was a spectacular sight while it came down. |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 18 Feb 24 - 05:56 AM hot, sunny & humid ... |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 18 Feb 24 - 09:15 PM we've just had a ginormous summer lightning-&-thunderstorm. I await the Weather Bureau's 1pm Monday update to see how much rain we got in Sydney sandra 1.15pm |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Donuel Date: 19 Feb 24 - 06:15 AM Temps here are 25 degrees above historic normals. Of course normals aren't normal anymore. The daffodil sprouts are 8 inches high. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Senoufou Date: 21 Feb 24 - 03:54 AM We've had so much bloomin' rain here in Norfolk that many of the roads are under inches of water. But our village has the river Wensum flowing through it, and now it's burst its banks and seriously flooded the road out of the village. Fortunately our bungalow is on a road which is never flooded. Husband found an 'escape route' via Fustyweed to get us safely out on to the main road to Fakenham, and we were daft enough to pay the excellent team of Kurdish folk at Langor Bridge to wash our car and vacuum the inside. But (of course!) on the way back, we had to pass through loads of big puddles, and now our car is mucky again. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Donuel Date: 21 Feb 24 - 06:07 AM The extremes of climate change extend to upper-level winds. The jet stream broke all records and was going over 800 mph. Flights are arriving 45 minutes early. Winter heat here has broken records for 7 out of 10 years. Welcome to Runaway Effects. Pilots are facing skies never seen before. Captain Senofou, having a rubber raft might come in handy. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Senoufou Date: 21 Feb 24 - 07:29 AM Hee hee Donuel, my husband would agree with you, as he can't swim. Luckily, we've just got home and decided to risk the flooded route into the village. Hooray! Anglian Water have dealt with the blocked road drain and the water has subsided. We got through without any risk to the car. I no longer feel trapped in the village. But the bloomin' rain is still chucking it down. Grrrr! |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 21 Feb 24 - 04:35 PM Now that we've been through another cold snap, everything is supposed to warm up, and the ground will thaw and turn to mud. This is about two months earlier than that is supposed to happen. For sure, it won't last, but will pass like everything else. |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 24 Feb 24 - 10:34 AM A few little snow flurries are lazily drifting through the air. It's below freezing, and feels dangerously cold. |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 25 Feb 24 - 06:08 PM ANd now for unseasonably warm weather, which translates to MUD season hereabouts. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Tattie Bogle Date: 26 Feb 24 - 07:24 PM One of the mildest winters ever here in SE Scotland : we have had all of one inch of snow so far, which was gone by lunchtime! Granddaughter bitterly disappointed as she had a new sledge for Christmas. And ever since November, there have been banner headlines telling us when it’s going to come, but 3 months on and it’s still not here! |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: MaJoC the Filk Date: 27 Feb 24 - 09:07 PM Ahhhh, the banner headlines .... This may or may not appear elsewhere, but let's at it:

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Joe Offer Date: 27 Feb 24 - 11:05 PM Here in the Sierra Foothills of Northern California, we are in the season known as "fake Summer." The temperature has almost reached 70 degrees F the last few days. The fruit trees and daffodils are in glorious bloom. The last windstorm cleared all the dead needles off the towering Ponderosa Pines. Today is Tuesday. A blizzard is predicted for Thursday. And some wonder why the Donner Party had a tough time in this area this time of year in 1846-47. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Donuel Date: 28 Feb 24 - 09:40 AM DC has been 20 to 25 degrees above 'normal' all winter. It reached 32 degrees (freezing) only 25 times by morning. In OZ 30,000 are evacuated due to brush fires again. |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 02 Mar 24 - 12:28 PM We are forecast to receive an inch to an inch and a half of rain today. Too bad we can't re-route the rain to the Texas panhandle region, where wildfires are not yet under control. |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 03 Mar 24 - 10:52 AM It's warm enough that I had to get out my lightweight coat for the first time since winter began. The winter parka is just too heavy for these high temperatures. |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 08 Mar 24 - 02:13 PM So my winter parka is at the cleaners' over the weekend. And Monday is forecast to stay around freezing, so I will have to layer up until I can get to the cleaners' that day to pay for the cleaning. |
