We haven't got our snow yet but a few flakes are expected later today. It is cold but no bitter winds yet.

Spotted the first snow an hour ago when I put out the rubbish for the bin men. About 8 tiny flakes! Not enough to dim the nearby lights! But it is unusual here, in north west Kent, close to London, this side of Christmas.

65 yesterday, 50 today. Last night I saw chem trail cloud formations from high altitude jets. THis is the first I have seen any in 3 weeks. Why at night? I thought their whole purpose was to lower ground temeratures. Its very confusing.

coming out of an icey few days..30 degrees F, cold but no wind, which is unusual. I think it went down to 19 or so...which if the wind blows is really cold for here..not bad if the sun is shining and no wind though. I live right on the ocean..didn't feel a draft in my little cabin but a real wind blowing right through it. But it is sturdy..most of our winter weather is strong winds and driving rain even though temps are usually mid 40s. mg

We've been riding this boat on rough seas, g. I'm not so worried about capsizing now that the hellhole has been filled in, but it is unsettling and makes for a rough night. The camper rocks strongly enough we can feel each gust.

We're in no danger; just thought I'd post our weather.

Yees, b'y... I can see it being a nasty winter here too. Especially after we had the best winter here last year I can ever recall. Well, there was a couple that I really liked, like the year I shovelled 45 minutes... ALL winther but it was SO cold.

In any case, I hope it doesn't get too bad for anyone. Especially my friend maeve who is trying to get a ew house built way to late in the construction season.

To those folks in the Rockies and points east: duck. This storm has snow, wind and cold.

It was 8^o F last night in the Nevada sagebrush and is going up to about 28 for a high. That is colder that Fairbanks, Alaska, for the same day.

The camper has been shaking all last night and all day today from extremely strong winds. It's cold; we can feel it seeping in through every possible crack. Winds appear to be dying down as night falls.

We had a southern day here is Missouri - lovely, moist air about 60 degrees that must have come up from the Gulf of Mexico. Made us think we were in Florida.

Ah, the middle of the continent. Some days it feels like Florida, some days it feels like Canada, some days it feels like hell.

But by the end of the week it's gonna be winter like with temps in the 40s during the day and 20s at night... You know, like winter...

Oh well, I'm gonna go harvest some leaves today with my lawn tractor and bagger attachment... Make good mulch...

Yup, the begonia is a begoner, the purlple mini petunia is a ptuie and the fuscia is a fuscta. Maeve suggested I take cuttings from the snapdragon so I garbage bagged it and brought it in... I opened the bag this AM and it smiled at me. I'd keep it in the house but there's no telling of what manner of wee beasties it harbours.

And the snow stuck and stayed on everything, even the pave. I had to salt around Mum's back door.

It has been a rather warm autumn with only a couple of veggie-killing cold nights, but in the last last few hours the Nevada sagebrush got snow. Looks like Christmas.

The ski resorts in the Sierras will be real happy with this amount of snow this early. Make your ski reservations now and avoid the late rush.

Here in the Sierra Nevada Foothills of California, we had a dusting of snow in the morning, and rain all day. Probably a bit more snow tonight, and maybe a lot of it.
I grew up in Wisconsin, but sometimes get snow earlier here in California (but much warmer winters overall).

Fierce winds shaking the camper tonight are equally effective in keeping us from sleep. The moon and stars were bright when I came in from the chicken house tonight. I could easily skirt the perimeter of the filled foundation without a flashlight. I'm about to go back outside to unhook the ringing wind chimes for the night.

Snow. Welll, fluffies. Only supposed to get 5cm. -9 last night. The last four potted plants are not caring too much for it (in the garage, of course)... the begonia looks half dead and and I expect it will be by tomorrow.

We had snow along with a rainbow last week. So far, no precipitation has reached the ground as snow here.

It's not bad here in Bristol, mild winds sunshine not bad at all. But I remember it was like that last year and then we paid for it by having three or four months of severe winter conditions. It could be the lull before the storm.

I was thinking that it was pretty chilly here in Anchorage at -5F yesterday morning. But I just returned from Fairbanks where this morning's temperature was -41F which, as it turns out, is -41C also. Very cool, in more ways than one.

We're drying out after the record-setting five inches of rain overnight on Saturday night, and the temperature is in the mid-fifties. It is not supposed to be this warm in Maine at this time of year. This is unnatural and no good will come of it.

Well, we got a bit more snow than expected. We have a good 7 or 8 inches out there - more than that in the valley - and more snow is forecast for the next several days. Most purdy.

The rain finally left. Yesterday turned sunny and 65F. Today sunny and 75F. Temps still quite moderate and my windows are still open. Spent the day washing windows, blowing leaves, cleaning off the carport, etc. and some time tonight sitting outside with a glass of wine, watching the moon and listening to the thinning chorus of night insects.

Average 1st frost date here is about October 15. I still have impatiens in bloom.

Downtown Juneau is expecting its first snow mixed with rain today and tomorrow. The mountains all around us have been white for a couple of months and the valley area where the glaciers are (7 to 10 miles away from downtown) has had some snow on the ground but downtown is next to the ocean and the air currents are different too, so we are warmer -and rainier - than they.

Our temperatures have been dipping to the low 30s and rising to the low 40s.

Well, if I were to tell you of the weather we're having now in the Sierra Nevada Foothills of California, I'd be accused of gloating.

But it's beautiful, so I'll tell you anyhow. Chilly and clear at night, brisk in the morning, and very comfortable in the afternoon. A nice smattering of fall color, blue skies, and spectacular sunsets.

When I was working in Sacramento on Monday, it was downright balmy.

Rain, rain and more rain. Just shy of 3" in the past 24 hours and more on the way. We are about to get clear of the remnants of Ida, but a strong low pressure right off the coast is tailgating her, and will bring another couple of inches. Already starting to get wind from that system.

"My wife mentioned this morning that she heard it's 60 below in Alaska; Ebbie, do you feel like a "real cool cat" about now?" frogprince

It hasn't been that bad in southeast Alaska, Dean, but it's seriously brutal farther north and in the interior of Alaska. Juneau has had zero temperatures for lows and up to 15 or so in the daytime but up there for the last two weeks some places they've been registering 45-64 MINUS.

The other day it was warmer in Barrow - at the top of the state and much closer to the North Pole - than it was in a number of places a great deal farther south.

In Anchorage, which is on the water, which means the ocean should be moderating the weather, they've been minus zero temperatures even in the daytime.

As they say, the world may end not with a bang but a whimper... :)
