Yesterday in Nova Scotia, we had freezing rain really bad. Throughout town, many spots were iced right over so bad that I decided to crawl on my hands and knees so I wouldn't fall (ha ha).

The flip-flopping weather changes were blown away by a big old nor'easter. Weatherman says we need the rain hereabouts. Maybe, but I could have done without the darned wind.

12 & 3/4 hours later after the cool change it's only 21.5C & we only got to 35.6, not 38! tomorrow we are expecting 26.

38C here today (over 100F in the old money) & a friend & I are visiting an old friend who is not in good health, via 2 air-conditioned trains & an air conditioned bus. The station is close to my place, the bus-stop is next to the final station & our friend lives next to th final bus stop! But ...

I'm cool in my living room with my small fan going, but it's already 32.2 outside! eek, it's going to be 40C where we are going, & chance of a storm here & there ...

Driving weather! Always a sound topic for a discussion. Hopefully an amicable one.

Thanks Elmore for answering my question.
My residence has been mostly in these areas: the Lake Erie environs, New England, and of all places New Mexico, where they definitely know about snow.

I was and remain sadly disappointed with drivers around Phoenix, Arizona, where they don't know the first thing about driving in the RAIN. That's all it takes to confuse the drivers. That kind of desert climate gets cloudbursts, monsoon-style, and when it does rain, the rain just dumps on you all at once. Then there is all that dust and sand about, which as one radio personality observed, in the rain becomes like ball bearings for automobiles.

Don't even get me started on flash floods in desert country.

Attn: Keberoxu I have spent most of my life in New England. IMO they {the drivers} don't have a clue. In Atlanta the officials are trying to get more and better equipment. In the mountains one should stay home.

I have my windows open. 9C and breezy on January 12!!! Nice to get a change of air. Not too often this happens in Moncton, NB.ca.

We are going from lower than -20C to near 9C on a weekly basis with snow/ice pellets/freezing rain/sun. Gonna kill a lot of partridge and such in our woods.

Olddude, has your snow melted over there? Ours is rapidly disappearing. We have a warm spell, and then everything freezes up again on the weekend forecast.

it's almost 2am on Thursday 13th & Sydney is still hot & humid, 23C (but feeling hotter) with 76% humidity.

12 hours ago it was 36C (close to 100F) & as I waited for a bus in the shade, sweat was falling from my eyebrows & forehead onto my glasses under my wrap-around sunglasses. Naturally the bus was late (the route is famous for late buses!) & when I got in & said something like 'air conditioned bus' to the driver, he informed me it was broken ... It was only a short trip to the station & the train was air conditioned!

Icy weather killing people across Europe; it's about to hit us in Ireland tomorrow or Wednesday. Went for a bike ride today and came back so chilled and tired after facing into a freezing headwind that I retired to the bed for the day.

Sorry, JennieG, but the North American weather whipsaw continues apace. This means that after being buried in snow, we watch the Fahrenheit temperature, in a few days, crank up to fifty degrees, and the whole darned thing melts. Maybe it will flood? Horrors.

Here in the Mother Lode (California foothills of the Sierra Nevada), we are underneath what they call an Atmospheric River this week. There's likely to be some flooding in the Sacramento River Valley. In areas like this that depend on seasonal flooding, this can be a good thing - if it doesn't go overboard. It's likely to bring some terrific birdwatching in the next few weeks, and maybe a memorable crop of wildflowers.

Two hours ago, at 4.43 P.M., we reached a maximum temperature of 32.9 deg C. Considering the forecast was for 35 deg C we were let off lightly! Another heatwave is forecast for the coming week, starting tomorrow......erk......

Anyone with excess snow to give away, please PM me for my address. It would be gratefully received.

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.

It is 20 degrees hotter here right now than average - 3 years running.

2016 is also the hottest year on record - as was the last 3 years or so.
