Baltic here for the last few days, tho' less cold today and this evening--- however we have had blazing sunshine during the short days! Quite amazing.
The nights have been 'fair drawing in' - sunrise is about 7.30/8am and chickens are all in the hutch roosting by 16.00/16.15 -- - and yet there are still flowers in bloom, green leaves, and spring bulbs appearing - very confusing!
I don't mind the winter when we have a blink of sun and blue skies- - not so pleasant if there's lots of rain and lowering clouds.
We seem to have less snow than in the past; being on the coast does often keep it at bay - - salty air?

Told ya. Some rain and then 2 - 5" of snow coming this afternoon and evening and it will be all gone by mid morning tomorrow. Sadistic advertising dollar chasing bastards that don't care how many elderly people they scare.

Yesterday, I saw it. It started real gentle like. Small and large flakes gently wafting straight down. I knew the last forecasts were wrong. One of those, "Oh crap." moments.

Well b'y, when I looked out afore I headed fer me bunk around 00:30 today, she looked like the arse end fell out of a cloud. I rose at 6:00 and walked through heavy wet snow 8+" deep and scuffed off the driveaway at Mum's back door. Lights flickered three times around 7:30 so I checked the outages... around 8000 in Moncton but we held steady. City plow didn't show up until about 9:30. That first wet snow plays hell with hydraulic hoses 'n such, eh?

Don't bother me much. Booked an appointment two weeks ago and got me badass HD snow tires with studs put on yesterday. Tell me who knows da wedder, eh? I suppose it could be just the Luck o' the Irish but I'll take the credit like a' Irish would. >;-)

Ah, gnu, in for the long haul, you are.

In my youth, especially at university, I had no love for rainy winter days, like the ones we are having this week. Now I am grateful for days that are warm enough for rain and too cold for freezing.

Donuel's report is on point. The weather is in a condition of conflict, as there are several systems fighting each other. Whip-sawed, I tell you, we are being whip-sawed. Tomorrow, into the subfreezing nadir for several days. Then a warm storm system on the weekend brings the temperature above freezing. Water-repellent boots, and put the dress boots someplace warm and dry.

we had a very pleasant day, more like a spring day, in summery Sydney, Australia, cool, cloudy with a spot of rain, but very high UV readings.

I live on the edge of the CBD & have the advantage of harbour breezes, those who live in Sydney's western suburbs are always a few degrees higher. Here in the CBD we had 2 days around 36C (about 98F) + high humidity, temperatures fell to 30C at 6pm yesterday. Today (Thursday) was much cooler with 20 at 2.30am & 19 @ 2.30pm & no horrible humidity, yah!!

Those like JennieG who live much further west in the Small Smoke get higher temperatures, with very low humidity.

Cold and windy here, and tomorrow is supposed to be worse. I would have icicles hanging from my nose and ears if the air wasn't so dry. Rain is predicted for the weekend, but so are warmer temps.

I took pictures of roses frozen in ice storm lace and holly fused in the webs of ice. I saw about 10 spun out cars and heard about the 40 car truck pile ups just past our exit to the airport.

Yes, Donuel, those Maryland icy roads made national headlines. It sounds utterly gruesome.

The whip-saw of weather continues in New England, a roller-coaster of rising and falling temperatures. There are heaps of plowed-over snow freezing up, and at the same time any slush and ice left on exposed surfaces -- as just a thin coating -- largely melted today.

The sun is back, just in time for the winter solstice. And thankfully we are in between storm systems, so that bitter wind has calmed down for now.

We've had record rainfall the last two days. Officially, 3.75" on New Years Day, which is three times what we usually get for the entire month of January. But I talked with a friend who said his 6" rain gauge had overflowed, so it was even heavier in some places. And another inch or two came down today. The bridge on our road is underwater. It spans a creek about 20' wide and the roadway is usually about 10' above water level. We can avoid that bridge, but we have to detour several miles and cross the creek via highway bridges with higher clearances. Interesting start to the new year.
