Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 24 Jan 12 - 03:46 PM A walk on the beach sounds great! Just don't swim in the salt water... salt water and a cool temp make for excruciating nipple pain. Been there, ain't goin back. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 24 Jan 12 - 01:14 PM A few days ago it was -20C. Now it's 10C and the rain has taken most of the snow. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST,Eliza Date: 13 Jan 12 - 02:32 PM Had to cover my geraniums in the greenhouse this evening with fleece, it's below freezing just now. But honestly, it's been like Spring for most of this winter up 'til now. My husband is moaning, he's fascinated by snow, and feels thwarted that we haven't seen any yet. I tell him to shut up! |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST,999 Date: 13 Jan 12 - 02:26 PM "What's the weather like where you are?" Blowing snow, freezing rain, gig tonight out of town: what's the weather like? In a word, it's the f#ckin' sh#ts. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Ebbie Date: 12 Jan 12 - 11:52 PM (BTW, the previous post with its all-caps is a simple cut-and-paste; it isn't meant to be a howl. But here is a bit more Alaskan weather. If they think Cordova has it bad, take a look at Valdez: ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Another Prince William Sound community could argue it's been hit even harder with snow than Cordova this winter. Valdez normally has 149.7 inches of snow by this time of the year. This year, the National Weather Service says Valdez has had 318.4 inches of snow-- or 168.7 inches more than usual. Valdez resident Kathryn Hawkins says the scary part is it's only mid-January. There's three more months of snow to be had in Valdez, and she has no idea where it's going to go. If there's a plus side to all this snow, her 12-year-old son Trevor has found it There's so much snow, it up to the eaves of their house, and he's spending a lot of his free time sliding off the roof into their yard. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Ebbie Date: 12 Jan 12 - 11:41 PM Here is today's "Special Weather Statement." Since early December we've had a mild winter- but it appears that is ending. The mentioned winds are our 'Taku winds' that consist of strong, swirling winds straight off the icefields that surround us, while the air is clear, the sky sunny, and temperatures range from minus zero to about 10 above. Each incident of Taku wind lasts anywhere from three days to two weeks. They can be brutal, as they were last winter. THE WEATHER PATTERN ACROSS SOUTHEAST ALASKA WILL TURN VERY COLD AND WINDY STARTING LATE FRIDAY NIGHT AND PERSIST THROUGH NEXT WEEK. A STRONG HIGH PRESSURE CENTER WILL BUILD OVER THE YUKON FRIDAY NIGHT AND THE NORTHERN PANHANDLE SATURDAY. THIS HIGH PRESSURE WILL SEND VERY COLD ARCTIC AIR ACROSS THE AREA CAUSING TEMPERATURES TO FALL THROUGH THE DAY FRIDAY INTO THE 20S OVER THE NORTHERN AREAS AND LOWER 30S OVER THE SOUTHERN AREA. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO FALL THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH HIGHS RANGING FROM THE SINGLE DIGITS OVER THE NORTHERN THIRD OF THE PANHANDLE TO THE MID 20S TO MID TEENS OVER THE SOUTHERN THIRD. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM BELOW ZERO OVER THE NORTHERN HALF TO LOW TEENS OVER THE SOUTH THIRD. THE COLD AIR WILL PERSIST INTO NEXT WEEK AND HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM SINGLE DIGITS OVER THE NORTHERN HALF AND NEAR 20 OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF. LOWS WILL REMAIN BELOW ZERO TO SINGLE DIGITS. PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE ACTION TO KEEP PIPES FROM FREEZING SINCE MANY LOCATIONS ACROSS SOUTHEAST ALASKA ARE SNOW FREE. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 12 Jan 12 - 02:19 PM Here, bare ground, it was -BRR last night, 10 cm of snow tonight and rain and 10C tomorrow. Then, -BRRRR for a while. Re Alaska... "Since November the fishing community of Cordova has received 447 centimetres of snow" ??? Doesn't seem like much. HOWEVER, tack on all that rain they had and THAT is nasty. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Crowhugger Date: 12 Jan 12 - 11:09 AM Alas the freeze up didn't last long, periodic precip. continues to make the back yard and walking trails a mess. So I've been cleaning up muddy feet and tummies again for at least 10 days, which feels like forever. Today's wet sloppy snow and temperatures just above freezing will make everything an even BIGGER mess. Oh. Yippee. I keep telling my husband we're going to retire to somewhere north enough to get reliable real winter every year, north of 60 if that's what it takes! This time of year is supposed to be my break from dog-related laundry (towels over the back of the SUV to collect dirt & mud, towels by the front door for dirt & mud, towels by the back door...) but no real respite yet this year. I don't usually complain about weather but this is getting annoying. Where's my winter?? I WANT MY WINTER!! Wahhhhh!! Ahem, thank you, I feel much better now. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Crowhugger Date: 24 Dec 11 - 06:08 PM Things are still green here east of Toronto but I'm relieved all is FINALLY frozen! That "fantastic weather" nets me 14 filthy things for each day it lasts: 12 paws sometimes muddied right up to the elbows & knees, plus 2 bellies. It's nice that one of our 3 dogs is a large standard poodle, plenty tall enough that he never splashes mud up onto his tummy hairs. While the dogs themselves are thoroughly indifferent to the cold mud (two seek it out and shove their heads into the mud of the creek banks during warm weather), I get the task of cleaning them up before they come back in the house. [groan] It's supposed to get warm again tomorrow so I'll be back to cleaning up mud for a while. I have one question: Where the heck is that snow?? I need snow!! Ahh, the joyful thought of 12 clean feet and 3 clean tummies... |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 24 Dec 11 - 05:17 PM Far as I am concerned, this fantastic weather results in one thing... every day that's "good" is one day closer to spring without s***. I recall winters where we were over arse deep by now. And, I can't forget the birds. I watched one I could not name yesterday eating maple seeds off the pave. Made me smile. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Sandy Mc Lean Date: 24 Dec 11 - 04:55 PM For Cape Breton Island about an inch of snow is on the ground, and it looks kike our Christmas will at least be tinged white. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST,mg Date: 24 Dec 11 - 04:30 PM It is an extremely rare kind of weather we have here on the SW coast of Washington USA...sunny, warm..no wind at all. I am so grateful because that wind was hard to walk in..now we have turned the corner on dark days but it has been a great reprieve not to have to face winter storms this year..yet... |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 24 Dec 11 - 10:37 AM They were just teasing. -10C and about 12.cm of sn... sn... you know... that white stuff down. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST,Patsy Date: 20 Dec 11 - 05:22 AM At the moment in Bristol UK it is quite mild for the time of year after just one or two mornings of a slight frost (we escaped the snow that fell elsewhere) it looks like that the temperatures might go to double figures in the run up to Christmas. The weather has been strange since April up in temperature one minute and down the next, heatwaves in October, the winter so far is nothing like the severe snow of last year or the year before. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: maeve Date: 19 Dec 11 - 01:21 PM -5F/-21C here this morning. Johnny-Jump-Ups can still be found in bloom. Two year anniversary of the fire, and like that night, last night was the coldest of the season so far. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Jack the Sailor Date: 19 Dec 11 - 12:48 PM About 60 (15 C?) warm breeze, It was in the 20's last night (-5c) |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 19 Dec 11 - 12:43 PM Sunny, calm, -3C. Rain on Thursday with 9C. We are heading for a green Xmas. >:-D |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Bettynh Date: 17 Sep 11 - 09:17 AM First frost for much of northern New England last night, so Indian Summer has begun. There wasn't frost here in the city, but I'm sure the tomatoes are done in the local farms. I saw a monarch (butterfly) yesterday, and there'll be a steady flow for the next few weeks. My Seven-sons tree/shrub (at 15 feet tall it's hard to think of it as a bush, but it has multiple weak stems that arch over a diameter of about 30 feet) is in full bloom. The monarchs gather in the afternoon on it, and in the morning they'll warm up and be gone. It's time to watch for hawks moving south. And the local goslings are now flying around. They'll be gathering in flocks soon, flying in circles, and then move south. The northern geese are quieter, and they'll arrive later. We're the breeding grounds for one group, the "southern" wintering grounds for another, so there are always geese here. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 10 Sep 11 - 04:26 PM Now... I haven't seen THIS in years in earlt September... Partly cloudy with 60 percent chance of showers this evening. Clearing overnight. Wind northwest 20 km/h becoming light this evening. Low plus 4 except 7 along parts of the coast. Risk of frost. I gotta move the fleurs around ta tha lee! |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 04 Sep 11 - 03:48 PM So, SRS is between the griddle and the frying pan. Yesterday at 7AM I could see my breath and I had to turn the heat on in the truck. I now have both ACs running full tilt. I can't wait to see what happens after the full moon on the 12th. I expect an early fall here. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 10 Aug 11 - 02:26 PM Anybody following the "Effing" thread will know about our wet and much cooler than normal summer. But, yesterday I saw a Hairy Woodpecker in my yard. Now, that just don't happen until a month from now. Full moon in three days and I am keen to see what happens in the week or so after that. Could go either way but I am hoping to keep my windows open as they have been for well over a week save two days. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 14 Jul 11 - 06:29 PM Well... this is freaky! I was just out scraping and painting after supper on July 14 and I had hoody on! A hoody! July 14! I absolutely love it! So, full moon on the morrow, maybe a month of hot weather, then cooling to new moon and then ??? early fall? looong and cold winter with little snow? Could be. I hope so. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: pdq Date: 14 Jul 11 - 02:27 PM For those who live in the United States, the figure 16o C is about 61o F. I looked at the temperature for San Francisco a few days back and it had a high of 62o F, but that place has a constant flow of air from a cold Pacific Ocean. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 14 Jul 11 - 01:45 PM Holy moly! Me, my arthritic fingers are locking up. It's cold here! 16C and windy. NEVER seen a July (even tho it's only a few days) like this. But better than last summer which was hot like I have never seen (felt? I am not a spring chicken) it before. JiK... better you than I. I can put on a sweater. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JohnInKansas Date: 14 Jul 11 - 01:30 PM A day or two ago, local reports were that the 116F (46.7C) at Hutchinson KS - about 50 miles west from us, was the "highest in the nation." Wichita reports 20 days of >100F daily highs in June, which is a bit more than usual for that early in the warm season, and those were not all strictly consecutive. (A couple of 98s crept in.) Forecast is for another week of mostly similar, depending on w-i-d-e-l-y s-c-a-t-t-e-r-e-d cloudiness. It sounds like the weather radar is showing 10 or 11 droplets floating over Kansas, but they can't predict where (or if) they'll fall. Last night's local TV had a picture sent in by a local resident showing that the (structural plastic?) post holding up a mailbox had melted and bent about 90 degrees off plumb. (All that bulk mail advertising probably contributed?) (Ours is on a wooden post, but I haven't seen any indication of combustion - yet. Maybe I should go out an wet it down?) John |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 14 Jul 11 - 05:27 AM Moncton, NB, Canada : 8.7C at 6:30AM! High of 18C today. Yesterday, 16C and a stiff breeze! And I am lovin it! For today... back to 30C stuff tomorrow. Has only been too hot 4 or 5 days so far and THAT is unusual. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 04 Jul 11 - 05:28 PM Absolutely perfect here in NH, USA. One of the first days above 80F (and only just). The humidity of the morning burned off and it has been a sparkling day with a few passing clouds. We've had our day of summer! |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Ebbie Date: 04 Jul 11 - 04:50 PM Well, I'll be kicked! As my father used to say. Turns out that we had beautiful weather for the parade (just ended), sunny, a little breezy, no rain. Don't know what will happen the rest of the day; showers are forecast. The only times I've ever gotten sunburnt in Juneau was on July 4ths- could happen again, I guess. And last night's fireworks went off fine. The spokesman was quoted as saying that they prefer clouds at about the 1500 foot level, (which is what we had) that it makes the sky darker so the bursts are brighter, and also because a cloud cover holds the blasts better so they are louder. So I guess it is the best of all possible worlds. :) |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Ebbie Date: 03 Jul 11 - 10:24 PM Well, we don't curently have much heat here in Juneau, Alaska. Today it's been in the low 50sF and tomorrow is forecast to have a high of 59. With rain. It may be a soppy parade. We always have our Independence Day fireworks at midnight the previous night (At midnight it's as dark as it's gonna get) but most likely the clouds will affect the spectacle. They are hanging pretty low. A number of Juneau musicians are not in town- in Colorado, Tennessee and Washington State - and I imagine they will feel summer heat tomorrow. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 03 Jul 11 - 01:03 PM But I hear it's a dry heat, John. Even so, I would perish in such heat. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JohnInKansas Date: 03 Jul 11 - 07:27 AM A new record for the 02 July date appeared for Phoenix Arizona yesterday: 118 F (47.8 C). The report at msnbc pictured people at the town jail - the "Tent City Jail" - trying to keep cool under the canvas. Of course there will likely be a few warmer days there next month, as it's still early in the summer season. My town (Wichita KS) has bent the record for "consecutive days above 100F in July," currently reporting it as 13 days straight in the nearby counties, with another few expected before the string breaks off for a couple of days; but we've had a (rather sparse) sprinkle or two to take the edge off the heat. The "real record" for consecutive >100F day stretches in Wichita was in August a few years ago, when I believe we ran something like 42 days in a row. I recall helping a few old ladies (mostly 20-somethings, I suppose' but I was only about 17 then so they looked pretty "mature") across the street because the asphalt pavement got so soft it sucked their shoes off. (I picked a small one to carry, but a couple of other "leaners" needed help prying their shoes out.) John |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Donuel Date: 23 Jun 11 - 06:06 PM Stubbs Nuclear power plant is 2 feet underwater but mostly dry due to a massive inflatable rubber ring. It was put offline but for some reason the monitors have just started to fail. The US floods are claiming more than farmland despite our best efforts to open spill ways and double up levees. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 23 Jun 11 - 04:10 PM Me and my big mouth... it's too hot and it ain't even hot yet. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST,Patsy Date: 23 Jun 11 - 06:15 AM So far in Bristol June has given us the April showers we were supposed to have had back then. One minute it's sunny the next it's a downpour so much for scaremongers here who predicted a drought. But then again Glastonbury is coming and you can't have a fest without the mud. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Ebbie Date: 23 Jun 11 - 03:19 AM We just finished the third day of perfection: Temp right at 70F, light breeze, bright sun- enough to make me seek the shady side of the street- people lying in the sun, sleeping on the grass. Very confusing to our cruiseship touri- people with their heavy jackets tied around their hips, hair tied back off the neck. This is not the kind of weather they were warned against. If our weather was like this half the time, we'd have a million people trying to live here. So thanks be that we don't... |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Little Hawk Date: 22 Jun 11 - 02:01 PM The weather? As Shane says, "It keeps flippin' changin'!" But I bet if it stayed exactly the same, he'd complain about that too. ;-) On the whole, it's been pretty good. But cooler than average this summer. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 22 Jun 11 - 07:43 AM FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have never heard such moanin and groanin in my life on the first day of summer. Everywhere I went yesterday... Enjoying summer? Are we gonna have summer this year? I've never seen anything like this. Etc, etc, etc. Max temp yesterday was 14.7 and I AM LOVIN IT! Sure better than last year when we went from winter to summer in an hour and it was nasty hot and humid (for what I am used to, of course) well into the fall. >:-D |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST,pattyClink Date: 05 Jun 11 - 10:34 PM 81 degrees F at 9:30 p.m. Which should tell you how much of a blazer the daylight hours were. It's hunker-down time for a week of this. On the bright side, the blueberries don't seem to mind. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: katlaughing Date: 03 Jun 11 - 10:50 PM I am so glad to hear that about Old Sturbridge. Our family loved going there. Thanks Allison. Glad you are all safe, too. I wondered about Noho as I heard they'd included Hampshire County in the warnings. That's neat your daughter is living there now! My Rog used to work in Westfield and we often went to Springfield. Never would have a dreamed a tornado would hit there some day. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: maeve Date: 03 Jun 11 - 08:28 AM That's good. Thanks, Allison. |
