Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Ebbie Date: 06 Dec 20 - 02:44 AM Tonight at 10:30, here in Juneau, Alaska,we have 48F degrees. The wind is calm but it is still raining lightly. It is a weird world. The storm we had the other day did some serious damage. Lots of mudslides and trees down, but up the channel 90 some miles at Haines a village of some 2000 people, they are far worse off. Four houses were pushed into the ocean and they still have two people missing, presumed to be gone. Dozens of people evacuated and not allowed to return to their homes for the time being. Crews of people from Juneau have gone there to help but the mountainsides are so unstable rescue and exploratory work is dangerous. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gillymor Date: 04 Dec 20 - 05:11 AM It's 61 degrees F. here in SW Florida right now with a high of 78 and light breezes forecast. I'll be out kayak fishing in couple of hours hoping to bring back a pompano for the grill or at least a sea trout. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Jack Campin Date: 04 Dec 20 - 03:30 AM Thundersnow! Slept right through it, as did everybody in Newtongrange - the bangs didn't travel far but scared the shit out of all the neighbouring villages as well as down in Edinburgh. Inches of snow overnight though. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Ebbie Date: 03 Dec 20 - 01:27 AM Today it is still blustery but the last couple of days have been something else! Not cold but howling, high winds and torrential rain. A friend who keeps chickens said that her chooks this morning had frazzled feathers standing straight up and she said they looked like they hadn't slept a wink. That was the second night in a row. They must be wondering if this is the new norm. And being 2020, it could be. Right now, at 9:30 pm the temperature is 43F, which is unusually warm for December and the wind is only 25 mph. We're expecting more rain but they assure us that the storm has passed. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Charmion Date: 01 Dec 20 - 08:02 AM Just below freezing and snowing with determination in Stratford, Ontario. It’s the fluffy but dense kind of snow that clings to tree branches and looks f***ing picturesque. The highway will be actively unpleasant today; thank God, I have zero reason to be on it. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JennieG Date: 01 Dec 20 - 04:46 AM It is nasty hot. Today reached 41.3 deg C which is over 100 F, and tomorrow is forecast to be similar. Summer in Oz isn't always this bad - certainly not every day - but this is a fairly extreme heatwave. It should cool down slightly by Thursday, which is forecast to be *only* 35 deg with some falling wet stuff. Fingers crossed, as it's currently very dry. Summer, to me, is something to be survived and tolerated rather than enjoyed, and autumn is always welcome relief. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: harpgirl Date: 30 Nov 20 - 12:24 PM It’s 57f in north Florida with cumulus clouds, breezes, and intermittent sunshine after several days of rain. Tornadoes northeast of here this am. The satsumas are mostly picked and distributed to friends. The ponkins are almost ripe. I’ve had six water oaks over fifty feet tall cut down. I will replant citrus and a sycamore, making room for more vegetable gardening. Still have over twenty live oaks, cherry, and tongue trees on the lot. I’ve cared full time for my 97 year old dad since 2013. I have a dirty thirty’s Recording King parlor guitar which distracts me from this isolation. We dodged hurricanes in Tallahassee this season. My son is engaged to a sweet wildlife rehabber and they’re looking for a homestead. Love to all my old Catter friends . harpgirl |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Steve Shaw Date: 29 Nov 20 - 06:47 AM A couple of evenings ago, we were able to watch the ISS, very high in the south, leaving the sunlit firmament and diving into the Earth's shadow, briefly glinting a fading rosy hue, then disappearing. We tried to imagine what sunset looks like to the crew. I suppose they get the chance to see it (and sunrise) well over a dozen times every day! Last night it sang a song to the moon, which was glowing through high cloud wearing a gorgeous multicoloured corona. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Steve Shaw Date: 25 Nov 20 - 07:50 PM We've had bad weather for two months. But the sky cleared tonight, and I live in a dark sky zone. At 4.58 the brilliant ISS passed over at sixty degrees, from south-west to east. It passed by sparkling Jupiter, next to dimmer Saturn, then headed close by the gibbous moon with Mars, definitely not to be outdone, Mars being straight above the moon and very close to it. A conjunction, I should say. Then off to the east, via the rising Orion. Castor and Pollux are there too, my sign. If the world looks dim and murky and depressing, you can always look up. The firmament don't care. I'm a member of the Cloud Appreciation Society too, member no 2468, great when the stars have gone in. Join us! |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 21 Nov 20 - 09:42 PM Thanksgiving Day, where I am staying, is forecast to be wet and muggy (for late autumn). Some places, elsewhere, will have snow and ice ... |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 20 Nov 20 - 08:53 PM ... a little warmth today, enough to retire the long-johns temporarily. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 18 Nov 20 - 08:43 PM I can actually say 'snow' without thinking 'the dreaded S-word,' which is how I usually think of the stuff if it is too soon after a long bitter winter. Of course, that's because spring, summer, and fall are behind me now and winter is closing in. We had great fat snowflakes falling in the sunshine yesterday. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 03 Nov 20 - 11:11 AM Saw some cars on the street this morning that still had snow on them, although it has not snowed in this town. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 01 Nov 20 - 04:07 PM Raining the proverbial cats and dogs out there. Most of the leaves are off the trees by now. Many are still on the ground, and all this past week, the teams of maintenance / landscapers in their trucks with their leaf blowers have been all over the local towns, and they still have yet to get ALL of the leaves. We still have lush green grass, from all the rain. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Joe_F Date: 30 Oct 20 - 09:01 PM It snowed here (north of Boston) -- a couple of inches. Lucky I didn't have to go out. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JennieG Date: 30 Oct 20 - 02:21 AM Stormy! Heavy rain and strong wind is starting as we speak, with the promise of more going into the evening (currently 5.20 p.m.). We had a doozy of a storm on Wednesday afternoon, wind, heavy rain, hail.....everything except sleet and snow. October-April - spring, summer, going into autumn - is storm season in Oz. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 29 Oct 20 - 07:08 PM ... those hurricanes would help if they could sort of turn about-face and head for the wildfires north and west of the Gulf of Mexico. Instead they drift north and east and soak the Atlantic seaboard. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 27 Oct 20 - 07:45 PM I hear that one of the wildfires in the state of Colorado is known as the East Troublesome Fire, and another as the Ice Fire for its proximity to Ice Lakes. I also hear that Colorado has had a bit of snow, which does its modest part to keep the wildfires contained -- don't recall if the snowstorm had winds, which would of course make the wildfires worse. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Donuel Date: 19 Oct 20 - 05:15 PM The weather here is light by day followed by ever longer periods of dark. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 17 Oct 20 - 08:16 AM Finally, a break from the rain. Wish some of our rain could be shipped over to the US west of the Rocky Mountains, where they aren't getting enough rain. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 10 Oct 20 - 07:16 PM The remnant high winds of a hurricane knocked out the power earlier this week -- stripping autumn leaves from trees. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 30 Sep 20 - 03:03 PM This season is the counterpart to the German saying about the spring: Im April, thut das Wetter was es will. That's true during the end of September and the beginning of October as well. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JennieG Date: 29 Sep 20 - 07:32 PM Well, today is quite pleasant, mild and cloudy. It *might* rain later - rain would be welcome - and possibly/probably tomorrow too, before warming up for a sunny Friday. Tomorrow, 1st October, we officially hit "storm season".....our late spring-summer-early autumn months can be very unpredictable. We are staring down the barrel of summer, but hopefully (I say this every year) it won't be too hot. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 29 Sep 20 - 06:46 PM Today it only feels like a steambath inside my facemask. How's the weather in the Southern Hemisphere? |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 11 Sep 20 - 11:57 AM What a hurricane season in the Northern Hemisphere! We're between storms now and enjoying some refreshing dry, and relatively cool, weather today. Yesterday was so muggy and hot that it felt like a steambath outdoors. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 03 Sep 20 - 11:15 AM I cannot account for the FOG that formed yesterday. It didn't last all that long, but it was quite a trip to drive the car on the roads through FOG. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JennieG Date: 30 Aug 20 - 03:24 AM It was a very nice spring day today, except that it's not spring yet! Seems that we are in for a spell of unseasonably warm weather, something not unknown in the tail end of winter. The longer term forecast is for a rainy spring, after a dry start. In this dry land, rain is good. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 29 Aug 20 - 08:33 PM We're getting one heck of a lightning display out of the electrical storm outside. At the very least, it might keep away the bear that has been raiding the residence dumpster. But wow! the flashes of lightning outside the window. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 25 Aug 20 - 05:44 PM It's behaving like some sort of monsoon season here; there are mountains, so maybe that contributes? It must be awful for the great areas of inhabited land struggling with wildfires now, in the heat. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JennieG Date: 23 Aug 20 - 08:46 PM Down here in Oz we've just had two of the coldest days ever (last time we were this cold was when we were in Canada, late in 2018) courtesy of an 'Antarctic blob' - isn't that a wonderful technical term? None of your polar vortexes (vortices?) here......we have blobs. Today is currently - 10.45 a.m. - sunny, but cold. Forecast is for 14 deg C but of course it will feel colder, not surprising because it is still winter. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are?

In August. Much as though it were autumn already. |
