What's the weather like? Ridiculous, here in Northern California. There's a high pressure system that's been parked for three weeks now: 70 the high, 32 the low, and we haven't had any real rain in 2 1/2 years.

What maeve said. Fun stuff. As I type, I can hear my neighbour chopping ice. Thank goodness we got off light. In the SW of nb.ca, thousands were without power for over a week. Please Old Man Winter... please make it really winter. Full moon on the 16th here. Got me fingers crossed this will stop soon.

Wow, maeve, that's kind of a meteorological flipping the switch on and off again quickly - a freeze after all of that water? Ouch!

For North Texas we're threatened with rolling blackouts or brownouts today because of the high demand for electricity - it got to 13^o last night and is only going to come up to 32^o during the day, then way down again tonight. We're not accustomed to so much of this, and temps this low are quite rare.

We had -21.6 F, -32 F windchill effect until yesterday. Today it's driving rain and strong winds and flooding at 50.6 F. Tonight, the Arctic Vortex brings a return to below freezing. At least the thaw allowed access into the chicken pen so the chooks can have some outside time under protection.

In Juneau, in southeastern Alaska, we've had nippy weather the last week or so, temperatures vacillating between 17 degrees to 7, Fahrenheit, of course. Not bad, at all, at least until the wind kicks up. Tonight we've been told that by tomorrow night we could have a heavy dump of snow, followed by rain, with snow showers for the next week or two. At the moment it is snowing lightly, and it's scuddering around on the pavement (asphalt). Still nippy.

Oh yeah... you didn't know? Tim's use ta pay pigeons in stale doughnuts fer retrievin the wooden swizzle sticks fer ta grind up ta make more coffee with. Not well known, that. But, jus look round, eh? See all them pigeons walkin round with sad faces? lookin fer handouts? Tim's.

We had fire hose rain arriving horizontal in screaming wind last night (Southeast Michigan). I haven't heard of any serious damage nearby, but Tim Horton's was jammed with people who didn't have power to make their coffee at home. Our own power didn't blink at all this time.

CC (Carol for those who remember) awoke to a layer of snowy ice on her car this AM in SC. SC! BRRRRRRRRR! Earliest snow in SC ever, I believe.

Our weather is up down hellwest and crooked as is the norm in fall. The Yanks send us warm air (mostly rains) from the south. It stalls when it hits the Atlantic just north of PEI. This hot air rises and sucks in cold air from the north and west of us. This repeats in ever dwindle temperatures until the Yanks stop sending us warm air and then we endure a never boring winter, at best. So, as a Herring Choker, I blame the Yanks for all this mayhem. Screw Free Trade. I want a Free Weather Agreement. I sall write a Goddamn letter to that effect to my MP forthwith with forthwit.

First snow of the season in RI today, at least in my part, but I think it was the first snow anywhere in this state. And in my part it was the fat, wet stuff. I heard there were some cars skidding on the roads, but the time I left this morning at 9 AM the roads I drove on were wet but not slippery.

Snow at this time of year is early, although we have sometimes had snow even earlier.

The high today was at 8 o'clock tonight: 35F! Says it "feels like 26". This morning it was 21. A bit cloudy tonight but sunny today.

If our ground is frozen at all, it isn't frozen deep yet. Leaves and puddles are sparkling and crisp though.

We often have a White Hallowe'en but not this year. I hope we get lots of snow but not so much ice.

Hot and humid. One degree short of a heat wave. Three consecutive days of 90F temps is a heat wave. It was above 90 on Thursday and Friday, but today it was 89. The heat should continue tomorrow but break on Monday. I'm waiting to hear a forecast for the days of the Mystic Sea Music Festival. I'll be there no matter what, but I want to know what to pack.
