Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: ChanteyLass Date: 01 Jun 13 - 09:32 PM 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. |

Then, the wind came up... and the temp dropped at least 10 degrees in about 30 seconds and sent me a runnin into the house like a scared child! BRRRRRRRRR! |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JennieG Date: 31 May 13 - 06:29 PM We're expecting rain later today, and it will be very welcome.......although the rainfall so far this year has been slightly above the long-term average, it fell back in February-March. The past couple of months have been very very dry so we will take any moisture we can get! |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 31 May 13 - 05:10 PM Small but nasty lookin thunderstorm is comin in. Might just miss us but I am ready if it doesn't. Got me Kent County Waders (sneakers) ready and I got me light printed (decorum, eh?) boxer shorts on. Gonna stand outside in the rain and sing! 30C... we need a shower! |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 24 May 13 - 01:28 PM I went out shortly after dawn to sniff the air before the big rain rain due in. Yesterday, the apple blossoms were at the "any day now" stage. BLOOM BOOM! Man it looks purrrdy! And the blossums have a pinkish hue I have never seen before. I'll try to post some pics of it after the ducks and canoes are gone. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: ChanteyLass Date: 25 Mar 13 - 10:42 PM Once again Rhode Island is expecting more snow, bbut only 1-2 inches overnight. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Pete Jennings Date: 25 Mar 13 - 01:17 PM We had snow all weekend with icy winds here in Staffordshire and across other parts of the country. Some roads on higher ground are still blocked. Unseasonably cold again today (1.5C) but at least the snow has partly melted away. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Bill D Date: 25 Mar 13 - 11:11 AM Snowing like crazy in Maryland/DC...but only sticking on the ground a bit. It is white out there, but streets are just wet and slightly slushy. We are expecting snow..changing to rain... and back to snow... for the next 12 hours- then into the 50s & 60s by the weekend. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Ebbie Date: 25 Mar 13 - 10:23 AM After a couple of days of unexpected (to me!)snow we have reverted to light rain and expect a high of 40F today. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Elmore Date: 25 Mar 13 - 10:13 AM 38 degrees and snowing lightly in the mountains of North Georgia (USA), where we moved recently. Quite shocking to this old Yankee. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: ChanteyLass Date: 19 Mar 13 - 09:13 PM We had snow overnight which changed to rain in the early morning. While there were only a few inches on the ground and my car, it was heavy snow. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 17 Mar 13 - 05:58 PM St. Pat's Day in style! Beautiful day and THEN cloud and wind and a snow squall... nasty! And then sunshine and snow and wind and then sun. A "Smelt Storm". Mum is 86 and never saw a St. Pat's Day without a storm of some type. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Gurney Date: 16 Mar 13 - 10:58 PM The first showers in Auckland after a long, long Summer. Not enough to break the drought. Morning light taking 1.5 hours longer to arrive. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 16 Mar 13 - 06:53 PM It's lovely weather here for March but I must say, Amos... fuck off. Meant in a nice way, of course. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST,Manuel Date: 16 Mar 13 - 05:35 PM On the western shores of the Caribbean, though one may read much of the night, the question of whether to go south does not arise at this time of year, there being no winter here. All here are presently enjoying typical March weather - lots of bright and warm sunlight, strong breezes and very little rain. If only I could share this with some of the less fortunate. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 16 Mar 13 - 07:39 AM April may be the cruelest month, but March bites, too, in the higher regions of New Hampshire. Just 10 miles away in the valley, green shoots are poking up and crocuses are preparing to make their appearance. Here in the hills we still have over a foot of snow on the ground, ice everywhere, and the forecast for the week promises no thaw in sight. Forget February, I dream of heading South for the months of March and April. Now is when I'm sick of winter! |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Ebbie Date: 16 Mar 13 - 01:56 AM It's still snowing. (I cannot resist 1001.) |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Amos Date: 15 Mar 13 - 11:03 PM In coastal SOuthern Caqlifornia the sea-mist rises early in the morning and crawls down the streets, hangs from trees and flowers, and makes everything look ghostly and intimate like a lover's sleeping breath. The trees look like explosions of fog and the streets only crawl if there is any traffic at all. By nine AM, the mists have been banished by the sturdy persuasions of a rising sun, the skies clear away to a pristine blue dotted with white fluff, and the city bustles to life. The temperature climbs from 55 degrees F at sunrise to 75 degrees in short order, over-coats and sweaters are tossed into the back seats of cars, dogs come out to romp and mark their turf on the grassy fields and canyon paths, and the world is blessed with a golden, benevolent warmth that lasts until sundown. Then the mists start to move in again, wisping through the dark streets and across the busy highways as people head for home after a day of busy productive work, one assumes. No guarantees, of course. The weather does not care whether you've been productive or not. The clouds roll in, mist again covers the valleys, and night falls in peace on a comfortable land. Occasionally Orion, a few planets, and the inconstant moon peer through the mist to reassure the world that space has not gone awry. Only the foolish and naive are reassured, but the gesture is always appreciated. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: ChanteyLass Date: 15 Mar 13 - 09:56 PM i hope so, Ebbie! In Rhode Island, it is very cold and windy with possible snow flurries overnight but no accumulation expected. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Ebbie Date: 15 Mar 13 - 06:26 PM They have now lifted the weather advisory. It's still a little gusty but the accumulated snow measures perhaps 2 1/2 inches. So now- on to Spring? |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Ebbie Date: 15 Mar 13 - 11:58 AM Here in Juneau in southeastern Alaska, after a month or so of springlike weather, we are under a winter storm advisory for snow and blowing snow. It was to have arrived at 4:00 this morning and to last until 7:00 tonight- well, it *is* snowing but grass is still poking through so not much has accumulated. On the other hand, the snow is fine and persistent. We'll see what happens by tonight. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JennieG Date: 12 Mar 13 - 10:34 PM Nice. It's currently (1.30pm) 25 deg C with a light breeze blowing from the south west. Other parts of Oz are still having unseasonably hot and humid weather but here in the north west of New South Wales summer is winding down. Trees are beginning to show signs of the coming autumn with fading colours, and the vine - could be an ornamental grape - covering a corner of the fence round a local football ground is already red and bronze! Nights are much cooler than just a few weeks ago so sleeping is easier. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: ChanteyLass Date: 12 Mar 13 - 10:20 PM It's raining here in Rhode Island, too, and it's windy, but it is not supposed to turn to snow. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Charmion Date: 12 Mar 13 - 08:51 AM It's raining in Ottawa, grey and generally mizerubble. Environment Canada's crystal ball says the temperature will drop below freezing again soon, bringing a bit of sun and probably rather a lot of glare ice but welcome all the same, for the sake of the maple syrup season. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: billybob Date: 11 Mar 13 - 09:26 AM snow here in Frinton on sea, and a bitter east wind. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Pete Jennings Date: 11 Mar 13 - 08:02 AM And it's bloody freezing here in Staffordshire, with light snow that isn't settling as yet. Razor-blade wind though... |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Rusty Dobro Date: 11 Mar 13 - 07:04 AM Snow, proper snow, in Eastern England! Not what we expect in mid-March! |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 10 Mar 13 - 10:03 AM 10 mins ago it was 23.1C with 68% humidity in my neck of th woods - almost 1am on Monday morning. Monday forecast is it will fall 3 degrees overnight & get up to 27. The rest of the week will be around 28 most day, which of course means high humidity. We have some nasty hot weather heading our way from the south & south west of the country. sandra (getting pissed off with this never-ending hot humid weather!) |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Elmore Date: 09 Mar 13 - 11:44 AM Sunny and 60 degrees in the mountains of North Georgia (USA). The daffodils are looking good. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: ChanteyLass Date: 09 Mar 13 - 11:33 AM The part of RI where I live dodged the bullet, too. We had mostly rain with only a thin coating of wet snow Friday morning. Some other parts of the state got more, but I think most areas were in the 3-inch zone with a few parts getting slightly more. If it had all been snow, we would have been in much worse shape. And while there were strong winds, I haven't heard anything about power outages. I guess from Hurricane Sandy until now, the damage to power lines had already been done. The trees had already fallen and the lines had already been repaired. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Rumncoke Date: 07 Mar 13 - 05:36 PM Well - it is Spring here on the South coast of England. There is blossom on the trees, the spring bulbs are all in flower, the air is mild - and it is so misty you can't see the end of the street and it is pouring down with rain. Oh yes Spring in England. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Bill D Date: 07 Mar 13 - 11:50 AM Yesterday it snowed for hours: sometimes heavily. Today- almost no remnants. 33°F-36°F will do that. We dodged the bullet. 20 miles away, they were building snowmen. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 07 Mar 13 - 08:21 AM it's just after midnight on Friday & very humid, temperature is 22.6Celcius I HATE HUMIDITY! The little fan is blowing air on me & I feel a bit cooler, but as soon as I turn it off to go to bed ... at least I have the bigger fan on my bedside table ... We have 71% humidity at the moment here near Sydney harbour (did I say I hate humidity???) but the poor buggers in Sydney's west & south west are several degrees cooler but have 80-96% humidity - lucky me! forecast is for 19 Celcius overnight rising to 26 in the day for the rest of Friday. sandra (getting ready to log-off & turn of the living room fan) |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: ChanteyLass Date: 07 Mar 13 - 12:08 AM It's Wednesday night, and it's raining in RI. It may turn into snow. Whatever it is, it's supposed to last into Friday. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Elmore Date: 06 Mar 13 - 09:53 AM Here in the mountains of North Georgia there's just enough snow today to make it beautiful. We moved here recently from New Hampshire to be near our kids. Thought I'd never see snow again. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: freda underhill Date: 24 Feb 13 - 06:32 AM Woke up this morning, even though my back door was closed and locked, the wind had driven water under the door and onto the floor in my living room. Rain got into my neighbour's roof, and broke through her ceiling pouring into her house. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: freda underhill Date: 23 Feb 13 - 08:14 PM from the local paper: Mini tornadoes hit hundreds of homes across Sydney and the Illawarra region overnight, there is flooding across NSW. One resident of north Sydney's Kirribilli described seeing a "funnel cloud" that struck just after midnight, bringing down trees in the Willoughby Street area, damaging cars and ripping off the roof of the Kirribilli Sailing Club. The wind "sounded like a freight train," and the cloud was between 50-100m wide. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: freda underhill Date: 23 Feb 13 - 08:43 AM It's raining in Sydney. Thunderstorms, heavy soaking saturating constant rain. The cat has come in, wet, and the skies are just pouring bucketloads of rain. Flood warnings in NSW, two flood related deaths already, and sheets of rain pouring across the state. And, thinking of rain.. My Country The love of field and coppice Of green and shaded lanes, Of ordered woods and gardens Is running in your veins. Strong love of grey-blue distance, Brown streams and soft, dim skies I know, but cannot share it, My love is otherwise. I love a sunburnt country, A land of sweeping plains, Of ragged mountain ranges, Of droughts and flooding rains. I love her far horizons, I love her jewel-sea, Her beauty and her terror The wide brown land for me! The stark white ring-barked forests, All tragic to the moon, The sapphire-misted mountains, The hot gold hush of noon, Green tangle of the brushes Where lithe lianas coil, And orchids deck the tree-tops, And ferns the warm dark soil. Core of my heart, my country! Her pitiless blue sky, When, sick at heart, around us We see the cattle die But then the grey clouds gather, And we can bless again The drumming of an army, The steady soaking rain. Core of my heart, my country! Land of the rainbow gold, For flood and fire and famine She pays us back threefold. Over the thirsty paddocks, Watch, after many days, The filmy veil of greenness That thickens as we gaze ... An opal-hearted country, A wilful, lavish land All you who have not loved her, You will not understand though Earth holds many splendours, Wherever I may die, I know to what brown country My homing thoughts will fly. ****** ©Dorothea MacKellar |
