Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 14 Apr 24 - 02:54 PM Today the weather cannot make up its mind. First the sun comes out, then clouds roll in and it rains, and back and forth. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 11 Apr 24 - 06:43 PM Spring rain is the order of the day, and the earthworms are sprawling on the pavements, always a sure sign not just of the moisture but of the warmer temps as well. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 07 Apr 24 - 09:21 AM The three inches of snow and ice from last week are altogether gone, with mud in their place == but at least we have blue puffy-cloud skies and sunshine. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 05 Apr 24 - 06:10 PM wet!! Wider Sydney & many other areas have had lots of rain - records are broken, people are evacuated - Evacuation and extreme weather warnings issued after heavy rain falls across parts of Sydney and the Illawarra ... The torrential falls are part of a broader rain event soaking eastern Australia, and has triggered more than 50 flood watches and warnings from southern Queensland to the NSW south coast. Bellambi Point, north of Wollongong, has received 190 millimetres of rains since 9am yesterday — with 35mm falling in the half hour to 6:10am... After years of moaning that I really must buy a full length rain coat, a few weeks ago I finally bought it & did not get a soaked skirt yesterday! I think my rain jacket needs to go to my local charity shop asap so someone can use it! |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 05 Apr 24 - 03:51 PM I managed to overlook the earthquake -- it seems I was driving my car on the open road when it happened. Didn't feel a thing. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: MaJoC the Filk Date: 05 Apr 24 - 02:49 PM We heard about the Mag 4.8 on the TV news. We looked at one another, and both wondered aloud whether 40 Wall Street was affected. But I digress. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Donuel Date: 05 Apr 24 - 11:43 AM Yesterday I recalled the crack sound of our last earthquake but today I adjusted my subwoofer but felt nothing weird. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Donuel Date: 05 Apr 24 - 11:38 AM I didn't feel the 4.8 earthquake but my wife did. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 03 Apr 24 - 05:18 PM Sleet and high winds ... no fun. |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 02 Apr 24 - 02:31 PM A New England Nor'easter of a storm is headed our way. THe rain has just started now; by THursday it could turn to wet heavy snow. Sigh. |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 31 Mar 24 - 06:45 PM Easter Sunday is March going out like a lamb, with light winds and lots of bright sunshine. But the first week of April is a roller-coaster forecast. |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 29 Mar 24 - 04:00 PM The recent storm produced cold rain, not snow. Although it's too cold to feel like April, winter is starting to thaw out (and the ground is turning to mud underfoot). |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: robomatic Date: 28 Mar 24 - 02:55 PM Yesterday was the 60 th anniversary of the Good Frida Earthquake . One of my old dance instructors was on the military base working in a large print shop when it started. For over four minutes he was dodging massive print machines which had tore loose from the concrete floor and were acting like elephants trying to squash a mouse, him being the rodent. We had a small reminder three years ago with a significant ground rumbler but nothing major since. Now the days are noticeably longer and warmer and we have avout a foot or two of warming softening snow to lose, which will probably occur pretty fast. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gillymor Date: 26 Mar 24 - 09:06 AM What a terrible thing. I used to do cruise ship rehabs in Dundalk harbor up from Port Everglades and remember the feeling of elation I had on Friday evenings when crossing Key Bridge on my way to visit family and friends in the DMV area, with Charm City all lit up in the north. Fortunately, but not for some, it happened at 1:30 A.M. rather than at a more heavily trafficked moment. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Donuel Date: 26 Mar 24 - 07:11 AM There is a bridge under troubled waters in Baltimore. THERE ARE 2 SURVIVORS. The rest have been in 40 degree water for four hours which is not survivable. The containership hit the bridge and has some of the bridge pushing the bow deep into the water. About a mile of bridge is underwater. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 23 Mar 24 - 07:44 PM I wish it felt like spring. It has been raining all day, and the rain has turned to slush; it is more the end of winter than the beginning of spring. Mud notwithstanding. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Donuel Date: 22 Mar 24 - 05:56 PM For the last 3 days all the cherry and magnolia blossoms are at peak but tonight's heavy rain will probably put an end to all the white flowers. There are the very rare pink cherry blossoms. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 21 Mar 24 - 07:03 PM Of course, now that we have had the equinox, we get snow and a biting sharp cold wind. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 21 Mar 24 - 06:56 PM The same night I noticed summer was moving on, wind gusts came into my bedroom so I looked in the cupboard for my first blanket (aka 2 fine woollen shawls sewn together to make a double bed covering) but also brought out my shawl from India which covers a bit over half my bed & slept under both of them. I've been cosy the last couple of nights, tho I threw off the second one last night. It's a bit cooler this morning, but it will be a lovely warm day with a chance of rain sandra, Friday 10am |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JennieG Date: 17 Mar 24 - 09:01 PM It's finally raining! Yippee!! We had good rain in spring then someone turned the tap off a bit too tightly, so summer was very dry. A little sprinkle here and there, but nothing to get too excited about.....so we didn't. Then this morning we woke up to light rain, gradually getting heavier and heavier, and it hasn't stopped. Thunder, lightning - the whole nine yards. And more rain. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 17 Mar 24 - 05:51 PM yesterday was the first day I noticed summer is moving on. I went out to buy some groceries on a pleasant Sunday afternoon wearing a short sleeved dress & the breeze was a tad nippy. Only a tad, the temperature was 20C (70F) but breezes whoosh about my street of mainly 4-storey apartment blocks, as the middle of our street is on the top of a hill with a skyscraper on each side. Winds can howl up the road towards us |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 17 Mar 24 - 05:01 PM Our springlike burst of weather is past, and this week we go back to typical March weather. |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 11 Mar 24 - 11:32 AM Snow, ice, and wind -- mostly wind, since it has stopped snowing. And tomorrow it's supposed to zoom up an additional 20 degrees F. |
|
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: robomatic Date: 10 Mar 24 - 03:52 PM 2 more inches of snow this morning, which is funny, 'cuz I don't remember ordering any. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Donuel Date: 08 Mar 24 - 05:38 PM Pre dawn skies were an unusual deep chrome yellow from DC to NYC. |

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. |
|
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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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 - 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: 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: 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: Sandra in Sydney Date: 18 Feb 24 - 05:56 AM hot, sunny & humid ... |
|
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: 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: 16 Feb 24 - 04:35 PM Blow, blow, thou winter wind . . . |
|
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. |
