Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 17 Mar 16 - 01:48 PM Very light snow. Ya know, it's pretty when it melts on the pave and you know spring is coming. This *is* winter... last year at this time, I had 5 feet of it in the backyard so I can handle an inch of it today. Yesterday, I had patches of green grass, saw my first robin of the year and heard Blue Jays chirping that "Spring Call". |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Rapparee Date: 15 Mar 16 - 07:52 PM It's supposed to get cold. The temperature may drop by two or three degree F.! I don't know how people will survive when it gets down to a high of 75! |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 15 Mar 16 - 02:59 PM It is wet, wet, wet. Just as well. While I can do without floods, I can do without brush fires as well. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Rapparee Date: 14 Mar 16 - 10:07 PM Quite nice. Here in Ka;anapali the sky is a beautiful blue, the temperature is about 78F, there is a gentle breeze, and the surf high enough for beginning surfers but not too intemperate. Soon enough though we'll be back to this sort of thing. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity Date: 14 Mar 16 - 01:35 AM Arise, my love, my lovely one come, The winter is past and the rains are gone. The flowers appear, it's the season of song, My beautiful one, arise and come with me. Who is it that appears like the dawn? As fair as the moon, as bright as the sun? Show me your face, let me hear your voice. My beautiful one, arise and come with me. Set me like a seal on your heart, For love is unyielding as the grave. The flash of it is a jealous fire, No flood can quench, For love is as strong as death. Arise my love and come with me Before the dawn breaks and the shadows flee. You ravished my heart with just one glance My beautiful one, arise and come with me. Set me like a seal on your heart, For love is unyielding as the grave. The flash of it is a jealous fire, No flood can quench, For love is as strong as death. Do not arouse or awaken love Until it so desires. Arise, my love, my lovely one come, The winter is past and the rains are gone. The flowers appear, it's season of song, My beautiful one, arise and come with me. I am my love's, my beloved is mine. Arise and come with me. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST,Joe On Test Computer Date: 13 Mar 16 - 12:39 AM Dry February in the Northern California Sierra Foothills, which caused us to worry about continued drought. It started raining March 4, and hasn't stopped. El Niño is back at work. Good news! -Joe- |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JennieG Date: 13 Mar 16 - 12:38 AM Hot......much hotter right now than Sydney, where Sandra lives! 35 deg an hour ago, and 16% humidity. Sandra lives in a sauna, we live in an oven. And dry, so dry. Since late January we have had about eight (8) drops of rain. They fell a couple of evenings ago, I stood outside and counted them. Gardens are struggling, people are stressed. This coming week is supposed to be a little cooler, but after Tuesday we won't be here. We'll be in Canberra for the Aussie National Folk Festival where it will be even cooler again! Yay and double yay! Coolth, wonderful coolth! We have had enough warmth for a while. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 12 Mar 16 - 11:27 PM & here in Sydney Australia we are still in high summer - hot & humid. Sydney - what's behind the city's record run of warm weather? The city has had a record 31 straight days above 26℃ (and counting), smashing the previous record of 19 days in a row set in 2014. Nights have also been unusually warm, with only two nights in February dropping below 19℃ (equalling the record set in 2003 and 1983). We are allegedly heading for a change of season ... sandra in sunny Sydney, 26C & 65% humidity |
Subject: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 12 Mar 16 - 03:34 PM Would a re-visit to this thread be timely? As the weather is...transitional, which means any darned thing could happen, at any moment. Shudder to recall New England at this time LAST year. Presently we are in full-on "mud season" what with almost all the snow and ice thawed by now....kind of early for that to have happened. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 26 Feb 15 - 11:17 AM My Honda does a reasonable job with slush. I went with the "twice the price" Honda just to have hydrostatic drive. Works a treat... much easier on the arthritis. Before the Honda, I had a 12HP MTD with a 6" throat and it worked pretty good in slush. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Ed T Date: 26 Feb 15 - 07:57 AM snow blower adjustment "I'd rather have the snow." Not much choice, when it comes to weather, unless a guy flys away:) Yesterday's rain did not involve snow- so, no "heart attack" slush to shovel or fluck-up the blower's innards. Ideas in the link may help a snowblower ability to blow slushy snow? |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 26 Feb 15 - 07:16 AM I'd rather have the snow. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Ed T Date: 25 Feb 15 - 09:31 PM Rained most of the day-good for making icy streets tonight. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 25 Feb 15 - 08:34 PM Well. That was "refreshing". I needed to shovel more snow. Makes me sleep better. Fresh air and exercise eh? ****!!!! I just (two minutes ago) emailed my cousin about costs of apartments in Vancouver. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: ChanteyLass Date: 25 Feb 15 - 07:12 PM After last night's snowfall, the news today includes the story that this has been Rhode Island's snowiest February on record--more snow than even in the February of the blizzard of '78. It is also the second coldest February but unlikely to break that record in the few days left. Not breaking that record is fine with me! |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: frogprince Date: 22 Feb 15 - 10:25 PM I've been meaning to check in here. A week ago, we set a low temp record for that date. Then, sometime Thursday night or Friday morning, we set an all time recorded low for here, at least 28 below. Where I grew up in Minnesota, that would just be a chilly night. But for southern Michigan... A majority of the people in this town whom I've heard to comment on the record temps have rattled off the "so much for global warming" line. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: ChanteyLass Date: 21 Feb 15 - 04:11 PM It's snowing again in RI. It's supposed to change to a wintry mix, freezing rain, sleet, rain, whatever later tonight. The condo association finally hired people to remove snow from roofs, but they haven't reached mine yet. If the conditions get too bad for the workers to continue, will my roof hold up under the weight of wet snow? |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: ChanteyLass Date: 12 Dec 14 - 09:08 PM After three days of rain and gloom, today was a beautiful winter day of cold but not freezing temps, sunshine, and no wind. I would love winter more if it was filled with days like this. (It can rain gently at night, though.) |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Ed T Date: 12 Dec 14 - 02:54 PM Relatively misty today- yesterday the same temp. -but sunny. Rained, heavily, like it would never stop, for 24 hours before that-low lying areas had flooding, and a few rivers rose beyond their banks. Overall, warm for the time of year. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST,Manuel Date: 12 Dec 14 - 01:41 PM Just ended a restorative visit to the Yucatan where it was nothing but mild and balmy weather; the sun out and shining every day but no oppressive heat to contend with, thanks to an abundance of clouds providing cover and bringing no rain. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: ChanteyLass Date: 09 Dec 14 - 08:40 PM After yesterday's below freezing temps, today we had pouring rain. It's a good thing the temp had come up enough so that it was rain, not snow. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Ed T Date: 09 Dec 14 - 02:56 PM No snow this winter season yet. It generally has been warmer than most years, with a few colder below freezing nights. Heavy rain and wind forecast for the next few days. Seems like we are on the southern side of a winter snow event. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 09 Dec 14 - 02:50 PM The gulls are inland (I am about 20 miles from salt water). We have them all the time but have many more when a storm is coming in. I can tell just looking at my black truck in the driveway. >;-) |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 09 Dec 14 - 05:29 AM Twas -17C yesterday morn but it's slowly warming up to snow a bit and then turn to sleet to freezing rain to rain by tomorrow morning. Rain and snow are no problem. It's the ice+wind that I worry about. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Ebbie Date: 09 Dec 14 - 02:12 AM Rain. Very wet. Most roadways are clear of ice and snow. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JennieG Date: 09 Dec 14 - 12:18 AM Oh, I can't imagine how cold that must be! It's raining here, again. Over the past week we have had more than our average December rainfall, with more to come over the next week. The hill behind us was dry, brown and dead last week, now it is green.....wonderful to see. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: ChanteyLass Date: 08 Dec 14 - 11:49 PM Cold. Really cold. Below freezing cold. So cold I didn't bother turning on the car's heater when I drove between home and the Y because it's a short distance and the motor wouldn't have time to warm up. By the time I reached my destination I was almost frozen. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: ChanteyLass Date: 04 Dec 14 - 07:55 PM Nothing as dire here in Rhode Island as what some of you are experiencing! I wish you relief from heat, humidity, and drought, or freezing temps, ice, and snow. Today was chilly: sweater and long wool coat weather. Yesterday I needed only a heavy sweater. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JennieG Date: 04 Dec 14 - 03:20 PM It's now morning, storms have passed and we had very good rain last night with more forecast for today - fingers crossed that actually happens! One thing that we don't want, however, are 'dry' electrical storms with lots of thunder and lightning but no (or very little) rain. Many fires are started by lightning strikes and, to quote a favourite media cliché, the bush is "tinder dry". It's such a cliché, in fact, that many people eagerly await the first sighting of the phrase in spring each year, and newspaper columnists announce it with glee! |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JennieG Date: 04 Dec 14 - 04:39 AM Thank you, Guest Manuel.....and now I am going to turn off the computer, because thunder is getting closer! |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST,Manuel Date: 03 Dec 14 - 06:32 PM In those dire circumstances, then, JennieG, here's hoping that it comes down in torrents! |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JennieG Date: 03 Dec 14 - 03:32 PM Well - it's not cold. I live 5-6 hours drive north-west from Sandra, who lives in the heart of Sydney in the Big Smoke, and here today in the Small Smoke very welcome rain is forecast. Welcome because we are in drought, and the drought is biting hard; we are now banned from using hoses to water our gardens (or for any other purpose), although we can use buckets or watering cans between 6pm and 8pm. Elderly folk who may have trouble carrying buckets can apply for a dispensation, and will be allowed to use a hose for two hours a week. Local farmers are having a tough time, as you can imagine; many are having to sell cattle, even breeding stock which they had hoped to keep, because there is no feed for them and they can't keep buying feed with no end in sight to the drought. So rain, which is forecast for the next few days, is eagerly awaited. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 03 Dec 14 - 01:48 PM 15kph tops this AM. LOTS of accidents on the roads. Every time the radio announcer came on, he said SLOW DOWN! I helped some elderly people up ta yer Sobeys get in and out for groceries... got my quota+ of good deeds for today done in jig time. The temp is up to 5C now but she's windy and heavy rain. Back to -10C by Friday. Makes a man feel ALIVE! And bloody wet and cold. Brrrrrrr... grrrrrrrrr. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Rumncoke Date: 03 Dec 14 - 06:48 AM Here on the South coast of England the weather is decidedly chilly for short sleeves - I think less hardy souls than I are in overcoats now. The temperature overnight went below freezing inland, I am sure. The barometer is showing high pressure the sky is clear and the sun is shining, so all in all a good day, just cold. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 03 Dec 14 - 04:31 AM "... it's still bloody hot & humid." Ouch! |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 03 Dec 14 - 04:04 AM here in just-after-sundown-Sydney it's still bloody hot & humid. I'm close to the harbour (can't see it!) and get the same weather as at the official Sydney location Observatory Hill. 14 mins ago it was 21.4C with 87% humidity. About an hour ago we had a big storm - lotsa' rain - in a tropical fashion - down it came then away it went! 22mm fell between 6.30 & 7pm. Max temp today was 29.3C. forecast for today (Wednesday) was min 21 & max 29 with the same tomorrow, & we are expecting more rain. sandra |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Ebbie Date: 02 Dec 14 - 09:54 PM For four or five days we had brilliant blue weather with high temps of around 20. Beautiful, no ice underfoot, no wind. Then day before yesterday it clouded up and started snowing. Not a whole lot. We ended up with an official 8 inches. Tonight it is raining into the snow. It is forecast to freeze overnight. Gonna be a slippery drive in the morning... |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Janie Date: 02 Dec 14 - 12:00 AM Temps and cloud cover bouncing all over the place. Today was sunny and about 70 f. Sunday was cloudless and mild, in the low to mid 60's. Friday was chilly and Saturday was cool. Tomorrow, rain and high of 46. Bounces a bit the rest of the week but headed for more seasonable weather in the low to mid 50's as the week goes on. Typical erratic late fall here on the Piedmont of North Carolina. Not a wet fall, but at least not completely droughty. |
