Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: ChanteyLass Date: 31 Jan 13 - 08:31 PM Last week here was extremely cold with temps well below freezing. There was some light powdery snow one day--Tuesday, I think. This week has been much milder but with a lot of wind and rain. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Bat Goddess Date: 31 Jan 13 - 07:31 PM Well, we had snow on Monday, freezing rain on Tuesday and unbelievably thick fog on Wednesday. No snow left this morning. The wind is howling through the trees and the dryer vent is flapping to beat the band...almost enough to tip me over the edge. Glad the wind is drying up the mud, though.

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: freda underhill Date: 31 Jan 13 - 05:00 PM In Sydney, it's been so changeable. we've recently had meltingly hot weather (45.8 = 114f) followed by WILD winds, massive storms and days of soaking rain. we're lucky, in other parts of the country there have been raging bushfires followed by flooding. this week we had a few pleasant sunny days, I woke up this morning to a brown/grey sky, and wild winds sweeping through the garden. trees bending this way and that, the sound of the wind in the weeping lilly pillies is like waves crashing on sand. and now for a cup of tea :-) |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Ebbie Date: 31 Jan 13 - 11:53 AM Juneau, Alaska: Freezing rain yesterday and this morning, on its way to rising temperatures. But odd weather. For about 10 days, up until four days ago, it rained, the billowy snow all disappeared and the temperatures got to the low 40sF. Bears out of den were sighted- scary for all, because there is nothing for them to eat, except for humans' garbage. With the segue to snow and cold weather I imagine they heaved big sighs and returned to their dens. A man with his snow machine fell through the ice in the lake in front of our biggest local glacier last weekend and just barely made it out alive- sprawled full length he made his way through the breaking ice until he reached firmer surfaces. His snowmobile remains submerged. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 31 Jan 13 - 06:53 AM On the weekend, -40WC. Presently, +13C and 60 gusting to 90kph. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: ChanteyLass Date: 16 Jan 13 - 09:38 PM Snowed last night here in RI, then mixed with rain early this morning, making the snow on the car heavy and hard to remove. Luckily it was only a few inches deep. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 16 Jan 13 - 05:49 PM First snow in a while. Just a skiff and it's only about -5 at 7PM. Warm as a bug in a rug for days. No ice on the pave. One day closer to spring. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Pete Jennings Date: 15 Jan 13 - 07:09 AM Here in Staffordshire, frosty first thing this morning but now it's 3.5C and sunny. We had a dusting of snow a couple of days ago but it all melted yesterday. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: David C. Carter Date: 15 Jan 13 - 04:04 AM We had six feet of frost yesterday morning! Now it's snowing! I don't know what it's like outside! David |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST,999 Date: 15 Jan 13 - 12:18 AM The ice that was on the river is melting fast. The birds are all screwed up thinking spring has arrived. Only two critters I have yet to see are Charly the Skunk and Charly the Chipmunks 1, 2 and 3. It's hovering just above freezing all day and dropping to juuussst below freezing at night. This would be normal were it early May. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: ChanteyLass Date: 14 Jan 13 - 09:27 PM Ridiculous warm in Rhode Island, too.--into the 60s. Maeve, I hope your chickens continue to lay unscrambled eggs! |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Jeri Date: 14 Jan 13 - 09:26 PM I don't know what it got up to here (also southern NH), but Portsmouth got to 60°. I had a window open, and listened to dripping all day. There are patches of actual ground outside. I got motivated enough to cook down some bird stock. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Elmore Date: 14 Jan 13 - 06:49 PM 51 degrees and sunny at noon today in Southern New Hampshire. 48 degrees at 6 a.m. on the top of Mt. Washington; a record I think. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 14 Jan 13 - 06:24 PM 43C? 80F and 90RH? I am stayin out... 10C, sunny, wafting breeze. God is gonna get me for this post! It January in NB and, although this is not unusal over my 55 years here, it sure as hell ain't normal... could just as easily be -30 with wind and a three day snow OR a one day snow with 1.5m of it. That there 43C is unthinkable, tho, to me. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Jack the Sailor Date: 14 Jan 13 - 04:40 PM We have had sunshine and 75-80 degrees all day. Almost perfect weather. 90% humidity is less than ideal for gardening. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JennieG Date: 14 Jan 13 - 04:34 PM Hot still, although today is slightly cooler so far. On Saturday the record for the hottest temperature ever recorded officially here was broken, the new record now stands at 42.7 deg C. That's nearly 109 deg F if you still use old numbers. Either way, it's hot. Cheers JennieG |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST Date: 14 Jan 13 - 03:44 PM Bright sunshine, no wind and it's 57 degrees. You hear that, Dani? :-) |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: maeve Date: 14 Jan 13 - 03:38 PM " The Times Record USGS: 2.4-magnitude temblor hits Mid-coast... Quake felt like 'loud explosion' in Arrowsic, knocked items off shelves in Bath. The U.S. Geological Survey has confirmed a 2.4-magnitude earthquake struck near Edgecomb at about 1:19 p.m. today. There are no reports of injuries or damage, but several Times Record readers report feeling the quake, as far away as Arrowsic and Bowdoinham. "http://www.timesrecord.com/news/2013-01-14Front_PageUSGS_24magnitude_temblor_hits_Midcoast.html Knocked my clothes drying rack over on the porch, it did. Sounded like a big, loud wind.

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Joybell Date: 19 Dec 12 - 05:13 PM Interesting looking back. Strange weather here in Victoria, Australia just now. One day it's 40 degrees and the next it's 16. Cool today and it rained yesterday. Cheers, Joy |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JennieG Date: 19 Dec 12 - 04:47 PM We had some welcome rain last night, 21 mls - nearly an inch, in old numbers - this morning it is overcast and a little humid so more rain must be on the way. Today's forecast is for 35 deg. Charmion, Ottawa doesn't sound very nice at all! Rumncoke, when one lives in a very dry continent (not cure if it's the driest - I think Antarctica may be be drier) then rain can be a blessing. As Ebbie says, parts of the US would welcome rain too. Cheers JennieG |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Charmion Date: 19 Dec 12 - 08:38 AM It's not all about you, Rumncoke. Ottawa, Ontario is wet and miserable today with the temperature hovering around the freezing point, streets full of slush, and precipitation alternating between rain and snow. In short, it's 'orrible. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Rumncoke Date: 19 Dec 12 - 05:10 AM Rain? It's all come to the UK - where it is now raining. Not so much again as taking up where it left off last time. Usually we don't need to encourage clothes to dry, just hang them up for a day or so, or this Spring, an hour or so, but now hanging things up just keeps them damp, so I have to put everything through the tumble dryer and then store it over the radiators or it feels damp when put on. Some might not admit to the existence of climate change, but really - the weather is very strange these days. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Ebbie Date: 18 Dec 12 - 07:04 PM A slight segue: It seems unbelievable that more than 2/3rds of the US has drought conditions. Is this something new? I don't remember such figures in my own lifetime. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Rumncoke Date: 18 Dec 12 - 03:08 PM Here on the South coast of England it is trying to be cold, but there are still flowers in the gardens and insects about in the afternoons, my deadly mousetrap with it's month old bait of chocolate and caramel remains set and ready, but the mild weather has not sent any wee sleekit thing looking for shelter as yet. There was a frost on the bins when I took rubbish out a week or so ago, but all the rest has been a lot of rain and a few clear days. The Spring this year was very dry, the apple trees which were loaded to breaking last year produced a few small cracked fruits this Autumn. The fruit and leaves fell off early. The strain of drought then deluge might have been too much for them. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JennieG Date: 11 Dec 12 - 10:45 PM Well gnu.....I don't really like extremely hot weather, but it is part and parcel of living in some parts of Oz. We moved out of Sydney (hot and humid summers) in May 2010 to a country town (hot and dry summers) and much prefer the lack of humidity here. Winters are cool and pleasant, and we don't get snow.....but an hour away, up in the hills, they do. Cheers JennieG |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 10 Dec 12 - 10:39 PM Ohhhh... it's beginning to look a lot like SHIT! About 4" of wet snow, sleet, freezing rain. Told ya I could smell it. But, we had a wind shift and I expect it will melt. Then... anybody's guess for a while. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: ChanteyLass Date: 10 Dec 12 - 10:25 PM About 50-55 here today with gentle rain "inland" where I live but much heavier rain along the coast. Some may find it hard to believe that in a state as small as rhode Island we have micro-climates. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 09 Dec 12 - 06:02 PM 45.5 down under? Well, I just rearranged the garages, placed the snowblower in my garage, serviced and gassed it, gassed the generator, put brooms and small shovels and scrapers in both weehicles, put large shovels near the doors of each garage and inside my house by the back door, bungee corded one large shovel to the railing at my back door, and parked my truck with the back of the cab in line with the front of my house. It was clear and sunny and 4C this afternoon with a 40kph NW wind that died to nare a strip o wind two hours before dark! First NW this fall when it was less than 10C. I can smell it! New moon on the 13th... any time within the next 24 to 96 hours we will have our first "winter". It won't be bad but we will see the face of Old Man Winter. Miserable old git that he can be. Now, I could be wrong but my old man taught me well... we'll see. Freda... 45.5C? That is insufferable! My heart sweats for you! |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 02 Dec 12 - 08:31 PM 40? 40!!!??? I guess I LIKE being cold! Seeeweeet JAYSSUS! Jennie.... I sweat for fer ye! That just ain't right, lass! Ya know, I complain about the weather here but if I had to pick a spot to stay fer good, I can only think of two and I am already at one. So, I guess this is where I will die. |
