I am over 20% down from last year and last year was good. Hardly any snow. I am starting the get nervous. The new moon is soon so... ? |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 19 Jan 17 - 02:43 PM 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. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Elmore Date: 18 Jan 17 - 08:58 PM 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. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 18 Jan 17 - 07:48 PM How well do Georgia drivers drive with three inches of snow? Or does it depend on which part of Georgia? |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Elmore Date: 18 Jan 17 - 07:37 PM It's been 60 degrees or so for the last 10 days here in the mountains of North Georgia {USA}. Before that we had a massive 3 inch blizzard. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 13 Jan 17 - 12:15 PM Yes, gnu describes a weather roller-coaster, and it's that way here too. We've had our big warm-up for the week, now it plummets back down. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 12 Jan 17 - 02:06 PM 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. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 12 Jan 17 - 01:20 PM 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. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 11 Jan 17 - 09:57 AM 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! sandra (also wanting some cool) |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Thompson Date: 09 Jan 17 - 06:14 PM 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. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 09 Jan 17 - 12:37 PM 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. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Joe Offer Date: 08 Jan 17 - 09:22 PM 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. -Joe- |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JennieG Date: 08 Jan 17 - 02:42 AM 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. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: ChanteyLass Date: 07 Jan 17 - 07:20 PM Snow's here, too, along with cold temps and wind swirling the flakes! |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 03 Jan 17 - 01:08 PM Wet, and thankfully, above freezing; no ice underfoot! |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 02 Jan 17 - 09:17 PM 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. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Donuel Date: 29 Dec 16 - 08:32 PM 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. Whuduya make of that? |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 29 Dec 16 - 04:15 PM Nor'easter in full swing. Thank goodness it is warm enough to remain rain here, but some places are getting something a lot colder. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 21 Dec 16 - 04:38 PM A dear friend told me that recently she was unable to fly out of the airport in Denver: the "jet bridges" were frozen. She uses that airport regularly year upon year, and this was a first for her. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 21 Dec 16 - 12:42 PM The sun is back, just in time for the winter solstice. And thankfully we are in between storm systems, so that bitter wind has calmed down for now. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 18 Dec 16 - 06:34 PM Yes, Donuel, those Maryland icy roads made national headlines. It sounds utterly gruesome. The whip-saw of weather continues in New England, a roller-coaster of rising and falling temperatures. There are heaps of plowed-over snow freezing up, and at the same time any slush and ice left on exposed surfaces -- as just a thin coating -- largely melted today. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Donuel Date: 17 Dec 16 - 10:11 PM I took pictures of roses frozen in ice storm lace and holly fused in the webs of ice. I saw about 10 spun out cars and heard about the 40 car truck pile ups just past our exit to the airport. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: ranger1 Date: 16 Dec 16 - 08:47 AM It's up to -2 F here on the coast of Maine from a low of -5 F. Took me longer to bundle up to take the dog out than it did for him to do his business. |
