Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: ChanteyLass Date: 12 May 18 - 09:52 PM A litle farther south than gnu's home, we in Rhode Island say not to plant until after the last full moon in May, but many people ignore that. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 12 May 18 - 01:49 PM FreddyHeadey... T'ain't no theory. Ya don't plant until after the full moon in June round these here parts. Now, the moons are late this year so ya gotta watch the sky and the tree buds carefully. Yer best bet is watching fruit tree buds... maples and such, not so much. Twas -2C here this AM but the wind kept the frost down. Most farmers (in the backwoods) will plant around May 26, three days ahead of the next full moon but that is still a situation to watch carefully. Some crops can stand a slight frost... others, not so much. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 12 May 18 - 10:55 AM Cool overcast day today, and I'm just so thankful that it isn't what it was four weeks ago -- snow and ice... |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: FreddyHeadey Date: 11 May 18 - 05:16 AM gnu, no, I didn't realise the lunar cycle could affect the likelihood of frost. What's the theory? |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 09 May 18 - 01:04 PM Had frost yesterday morn. Yuppies are uppity. Never seen frost this 'late'! I ask, "Where are they from?" Do they not understand the lunar cycle? |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 08 May 18 - 04:22 PM Just hoping we stay with the current season for a little while. It does seem as though the seasons with the solstices are eating into the seasons with the equinoxes, from both sides. For today, it is the season of the current equinox, and pleasant. I'm just scared that solstice weather will barge in and flatten the joys of the present season. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JennieG Date: 05 May 18 - 11:38 PM Autumn has finally arrived so right now it's pleasant in the sun, much cooler in the shade with that chilly little breeze blowing. This morning the temperature here dropped to 3.3 deg C, I don't know what that is in F but I can tell you it's not quite warm. Trees are changing, leaves are turning. Summer started early and went on for (it seemed) much longer than usual; it's been very dry, so plants are dying everywhere. The drought is biting hard. But - it will rain eventually! Until then "we'll all be rooned, said Hanrahan". |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Joe Offer Date: 05 May 18 - 02:51 PM What's the weather like where I am? Lovely! Of course, I'm in Northern California, in the Sierra Nevada Foothills. Wildflowers are good this year, too. -Joe- |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Elmore Date: 05 May 18 - 02:40 PM Had a few beautiful days in the mountains of North Georgia {USA}, but today it's cloudy and humid. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: ChanteyLass Date: 04 May 18 - 08:41 PM And today, humidity! My body needs time to adjust. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 03 May 18 - 01:57 PM Yes, I reckon that all the heaps of frozen dirty snow have melted and evaporated hereabouts, by now. Northern New England may be another matter, but even there the ski resorts have closed for the season. JennieG, how's the weather in Oz? |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: ChanteyLass Date: 02 May 18 - 11:04 PM Suddenly, it's summer--at least it was today. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 01 May 18 - 02:15 PM The only thing that doesn't look enough like the first day of May, is the bare trees. It's been cold and wintry for so long that the trees are JUST NOW budding with new green leaves, many remain bare. But after several straight days of spring rains and cloudy skies, today the sun comes out and EVERYTHING perks up. It's pretty as a picture. The blossoming shrubs and trees, like the forsythia and dogwood, still have blossoms on them. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 30 Apr 18 - 02:08 PM Great black-gray clouds overhead, one has to keep the umbrella handy. But the wind has stopped blowing, the temperature is rising, and for the first time in lo these many months the trees have new green leaves. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 27 Apr 18 - 03:59 PM A good soaking of spring rain in southern New England. People are trimming their lawns for the first time. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Bat Goddess Date: 18 Apr 18 - 12:56 PM It's not truly Spring until we have seven full days without a trace of snow -- not sticking on the ground, not flakes in the air. Monday I drove home from a wonderful weekend in Brunswick, Bath, and Bristol, Maine. It was gray, damp, and cold all weekend and I saw flakes in the air mid-day. I drove home to Nottingham, New Hampshire via I-95 on Monday. What an incredibly TEDIOUS drive! Wind, rain, fog... Sleet as I was passing through Yarmouth, remnants of early morning snow in the grass and rock crevices around Biddeford. The temperature kept rising, degree by degree, from 34°F in Harpswell to 39°F when I got home. Snow on the side of the road after I crossed Rte. 125 in Lee, NH and I turned into a white driveway. A very slippery hard white sludge was outside my car door as I debarked and covered the deck. Just tired of it. A year ago it was 83°F. I'm not seeing any leaf buds on trees and damned little greening up of grass. Linn |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Charmion Date: 18 Apr 18 - 11:41 AM Here in Perth County, we're having Winter, Part Trois. First we had lots of snow in December and a bit of cold in January, then a protracted thaw in February. Then it snowed a bit more in March, and stopped and warmed up again. But then we got to participate in the Southern Ontario Ice Storm With Extra Wind, which has been succeeded by yet another bout of snow. Good thing we haven't taken the snow tyres off the car yet. The robins are looking somewhat disconsolate, however. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 17 Apr 18 - 11:17 AM The sun came out for a few hours. That's NEWS, after the Patriot's Day Marathon was held in the rain and wind yesterday. However, the Boston Red Sox postponed their Patriot's Day Game, they'll reschedule it for May. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 15 Apr 18 - 05:05 PM snow ... snow ... what do we want with yet more snow ... |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 15 Apr 18 - 10:04 AM Not nearly enough above freezing, that's what it's like. Need the long underwear and turtleneck sweaters all over again. And it hasn't even started precipitating. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 11 Apr 18 - 05:05 PM gray, gray, gray. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: ChanteyLass Date: 08 Apr 18 - 09:19 PM Gnu posted on Mudcat Cafe's Facebook page 1 hour ago. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 08 Apr 18 - 12:11 PM Gnu? Could you stick your head above the snow long enough to tell us that you and your mother are still alive? I look at the current weather map and I see Nova Scotia covered in snowstorm radar symbols. That means close to New Brunswick and Gnu. Winter and snowstorms just will not let up in some parts of the Northern Hemisphere. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: ChanteyLass Date: 22 Mar 18 - 08:19 PM By now I hope your big gums have taken you back the 19 steps to your place! Seagulls can be great weather indicators. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 22 Mar 18 - 07:43 PM Environment Canada zero. Seagulls 5. Man it's nasty outside. Seagulls can see way out to sea, see? EC just look at maps. Gots ta put me big gums on ta walk 19 steps ta mudder's place and kick the white away from her door ta get 'er open, eh? |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: gnu Date: 21 Mar 18 - 07:38 PM I gotta run up the genie. Make sure she's up for anything. Shouldn't be bad according to ECanada but I got seagulls up the ass here (again!). Seagulls can see way out to sea, see? And when seagulls see what they see coming in from the sea, the get away from the sea. Of course, it was garbage day today so... we'll know how much snow we're gonna get after it stops snowing. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Bill D Date: 21 Mar 18 - 05:45 PM We in & near DC had a lot of wet snow this morning. I got 5-6", but it slowed & pretty much quit after 1:00PM...It is above freezing, so a day or so and a lot will be gone. It was NOT a good idea to be driving during rush hour, but we are in no serious trouble. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 21 Mar 18 - 01:14 PM Pennsylvania is getting buried under falling snow, and there is heavy snow in Baltimore as well, so I wonder about Washington DC -- unless they are warm enough for rain. The snow has yet to arrive in the Greater Boston area. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 20 Mar 18 - 06:27 PM Donuel, what kind of storm hit the DC area today? Was it snow, freezing, or simply rain? |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 18 Mar 18 - 11:50 AM Catching our breath after too many blizzards. Snow, snow, stay away . . . we're still digging out from under the re-frozen snow from last time. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 14 Mar 18 - 09:11 AM It stopped snowing and the sun has come out. The sun is welcome. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 13 Mar 18 - 01:43 PM in one word: white. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 11 Mar 18 - 10:50 AM Whine, whimper, bleat, moan, and any number of deletable expletives. We don't need any more snow over here in the northeast US, but the forecasters are agreed that we're going to get it anyway. And some households are just now getting electrical power restored after as long as a week. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 09 Mar 18 - 02:58 PM The Winter Terrorists have been happy campers of late, with one snowstorm after another. We have been through the list of names through the letter R, next comes S. The residents, not so happy. Trees down, power lines down, power out. Coastal homes flooded, some of them obliterated, evacuations. We may get a few days to breathe before the East Coast has another storm. So it's cold enough for the snow and the snowmelt to freeze overnight into black ice; enough above freezing in the daytime to melt snow and ice a bit at a time. Yesterday THE SUN CAME OUT for a few minutes before setting, the rest of the day there were these roiling boiling grey-blue clouds that gave no rain or snow but swept rapidly overhead. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JennieG Date: 11 Feb 18 - 11:24 PM Hot. Hot, hot and more hot. Another heatwave this week.....I am well and truly over summer. Roll on autumn..... |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 09 Jan 18 - 11:02 AM Is it true what they said on the news, that in parts of Australia the asphalt on the highways is literally melting in the heat ?? |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 08 Jan 18 - 10:50 AM Massachusetts could be in for a thaw, and I'm worried it could be too much too soon -- the last thing we need is flooding. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Helen Date: 05 Jan 18 - 01:15 PM Tomorrow (Sunday 7th Jan) in central eastern New South Wales, Oz it is supposed to get to 36 deg C (97 deg F) here on the coast, but 20 miles inland where I work it will be 45 deg C (113 deg F). Luckily I won't be working tomorrow. I grew up in that town. I don't ever remember it getting much over 40 C/100 F. To get to 45C/113 F is just crazy. And snow in Florida? That's crazy too. I've seen photos of a frozen fountain, and Niagara Falls frozen in mid fall. Helen |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Bill D Date: 05 Jan 18 - 01:09 PM Why? Because there is always cold weather *somewhere* in Winter, and various forces send the Jet Stream into unusual patterns for awhile. When I moved to Wash. DC in Feb.1977, there was snow on the ground in all 48 lower states, first time ever. We are durned cold for the next 3 days, but it is supposed to get back up to almost 60°F for part of next week. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: keberoxu Date: 05 Jan 18 - 12:22 PM Even powdery fluffy snow is formidable when there is over twelve inches of it -- no, don't ask me how much -- piled up, AND the temperature is dangerously below the freezing mark. You could build igloos out of this I suspect. Why does it have to be this cold cold cold! |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Donuel Date: 04 Jan 18 - 09:03 PM That's dangerously cold Greg, its a brisk 7 here 40 degrees below zero with wind is my personal limit. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JennieG Date: 04 Jan 18 - 07:34 PM Well, it's going to get hot. Forecast for today is 36 deg C, which is bearable. However the next few days are going to get very hot with Sunday, Monday and Tuesday expecting 40-42 deg C. That's not just here, it's fairly widespread over quite a lot of Oz. If I can survive that, it will be autumn in a few months.....yay! |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Greg F. Date: 02 Jan 18 - 09:06 AM but I'm in Florida! Count your blessings. -16°F/-27°C here. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Hrothgar Date: 02 Jan 18 - 03:08 AM 30 degrees Celsius, 80% humidity. We might build up to a storm in a couple of days. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 01 Jan 18 - 09:55 AM The first week of the new year promises six straight days of lows in the high teens/low twenties (F) and highs not above 40?. I suppose that's a normal forecast for Indiana or Ohio for this time of year, but I'm in Florida! |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: ChanteyLass Date: 30 Dec 17 - 07:35 PM Snow. Started at 11 AM and is still coming down now. ((When is now? Easy. I live in Mudcat's time zone.) Luckily I'd taken my final 2017 donations to the post office yesterday and put three birthday cards for next week into the mailbox on the condo property earlier this morning. Also luckily I had not yet brought my laundry to the laundromat, so I've put that off until another day. This snow is supposed to be light and fluffy and so far is not amounting to much. Next project, for tomorrow: Writing snailmail thank-you notes. And on Monday, I'm off to Mystic, CT, to practice a song with 5 friends to sing together at Mystic Seaport's Chantey Blast on Jan. 13 from I-5. It's a fundraiser for the seaport's Sea Music Festival, June 7-10. I hope to see some of you at both events! |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: mg Date: 29 Dec 17 - 03:45 PM in low 50s in coastal SW WA USA. Moderate rain but fairly strong winds. Called dial a ride rather than walk my lazy self to work. I have a new jacket from lands end and again it is worthless in wind and rain. Walked two blocks to McDonalds last night in light rain and very light wind and got so cold. Took off jacket to get warmer. Put jacket back on to walk home...damp, very damp sleeves. I have sent several jackets back to lands end..stupid me for buying more but most of their stuff is quite good. they can not get jackets right but keep advertising them for serious weather and say they are waterproof. something happens with the sleeves...two blocks of walking today and wet cold sleeves hours later. Will have to return. Any recommendations for wind and rain and mild cold..strong wind, driving rain. I have a heavy yellow fisherman rain jacket..too heavy but i guess i will have to wear it. rubber does work here. And I personally do not worry at all about sweating. I am too dainty to sweat. |
