Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Rapparee Date: 12 Jan 07 - 08:30 AM -19.4 C (-3 F), windchill of -26 C (-14 F), high today of -14 C (+6 F), low of -21 C (-6 F), partly cloudy. All weekend (including Monday) is to be similar, but slightly warmer. I saw a brass monkey pounding on a certain part of his anatomy, trying to warm it up. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST,Bill the Collie Date: 12 Jan 07 - 07:12 AM The wind is gusting along the valley at up to 80 mph and my outdoor table just blew, sideways on, right up to the conservatory. I'll go and do something about the table, just as soon as I can be arsed. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JennyO Date: 12 Jan 07 - 12:06 AM Same as Jennie G - just had a shower to cool down, and I'm sitting in front of a fan. We've had hotter temperatures than this - it's the humidity that makes it really hard to take. I think it's about to come to an end soon though. The Weather Bureau has posted a severe thunderstorm warning, I can see something on the radar moving towards us from the west, and it's starting to cloud over. I think I might have just heard my first bit of thunder too. Better go and bring the washing in! |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Metchosin Date: 11 Jan 07 - 11:58 PM Vancouver got its first full day of sun in 72 days. Last full sunny day was Hallowe'en. I don't think we went quite that long here on the Island, but possibly we set a record too. Its a bit nippy out tonight, about 24 F and supposed to dip a bit more later on, but the stars are beautiful. Sure glad the power's on for a change and the only pain in the ass for the next few days will be lugging water for the pony, because his water line is frozen. I'm taking a break from hauling wood for the woodstove, putting my feet up tonight and being thankful for small pleasures, like electric heat and functional toilets. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: JennieG Date: 11 Jan 07 - 11:37 PM Hot. Here in my part of Sydney (at 3.35pm) it is somewhere in the low-mid 30sC, high humidity, very unpleasant. Possible thunderstorms promised for later in the day. That will be OK, so long as lightning strikes don't start any more bushfires. The heat turns my brain to mush and I am not good for anything! Can you please send a bit of cold my way? Cheers JennieG |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: ragdall Date: 11 Jan 07 - 10:03 PM It's -22 C. At least the wind has died down. It didn't warm up here in the day, but it was sunny. I tried to wash the dog footprints off the sliding glass door. Vinegar does freeze! rags |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Don Firth Date: 11 Jan 07 - 08:37 PM As of now (about 5:30 p.m. Seattle time), the temperature is 33o F. (barely 1o C.). It snowed a bit last night, starting around evening commute time. Television showed long lines of slowly-moving or non-moving autos on freeways and arterials under snow flurries. Right now, evening commute time is under way, but I haven't turned the evening news on yet. Earlier news predicted that the currently wet roadways could turn icy if the temperature dropped a degree or two, which it is wont to do. Great weather for body and fender shops. Barbara and I are hunkered down and we might watch a movie tonight (we subscribe to NetFlix. Just got "Casablanca"—seen it a dozen times or more, but it's a classic, of course—and "Rob Roy" with Liam Neeson. Saw that too, but I want to see it again). Stay warm. Don Firth |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Peace Date: 11 Jan 07 - 07:40 PM It warmed up during the day to -15 (5 F) from -36 (-33 F). It's nice out at last. |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST,van lingle Date: 11 Jan 07 - 05:14 PM Sunny, breezy 75F in Naples, Fl...sorry. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Ebbie Date: 11 Jan 07 - 12:53 PM Nippy, but no wind this morning. A nice thing about all the snow we've gotten in Juneau is that our darkest part of the winter has been much brighter because of it. Incidentally our days are already perceptibly longer. Sunset today is at 3:34 but I noticed the other day that because of the snow it still wasn't dark at 4 o'clock. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Partridge Date: 11 Jan 07 - 12:42 PM wet and windy |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Rapparee Date: 11 Jan 07 - 12:07 PM It snowed last night, it's #@$!%!! snowing now, and it's going to have a high of 19 F today -- and by tomorrow the high will be 14 F and the low 3 F. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: KB in Iowa Date: 11 Jan 07 - 11:44 AM The forecast this AM called for up to six inches of snow Sunday/Monday and then highs around 20 with lows around 0. Real winter to be sure but nothing crazy wild. Could be much different elsewhere of course. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: pdq Date: 11 Jan 07 - 11:17 AM There is a large weather pattern right now over the western US. It is both windy and cold. Today it should hit Colorado and may bring snow as well as very> cold temperatures. This front is large and should be felt from OK throught the Great Lakes for about the next entire week, bringing sub-zero cold, strong winds and icy roads. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: KB in Iowa Date: 11 Jan 07 - 10:38 AM It's supposed to be about 45 f today. We have not had anything I consider to be winter weather this year. They say we may get six inches of snow this weekend but I've heard that before. Only got a slight dusting once in early December. I like winter and wish we would get some. It is expected to get cold next week but some of that will depend on whether or not we get that snow. I think Spring is much better if there has been a real winter. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST,Juniperus Date: 11 Jan 07 - 10:35 AM Austin, TX. from January thru March is blessed with the pollenation of a robust scrubby bush known as the Texas Cedar; the male of the species becomes heavy-laden with pollen to the point that it has a bronze hue, and the pollen is so heavy that it appears as a smokey mist in the wind. Life becomes pure hell for folks with cedar allergies (cedar fever). Other than that the weather is great. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Scrump Date: 11 Jan 07 - 10:29 AM Overcast with winds light to variable, with occasional showers moving eastwards. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Alice Date: 11 Jan 07 - 10:17 AM Yes things can be dreary in the snow! Temperature right now is below 0 f. Sky is grey. Snow piled everywhere. At least the wind has not yet reached the forecast strength to make it -30. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST,jOhn Date: 11 Jan 07 - 09:28 AM windy. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Alice Date: 02 Jan 07 - 11:41 AM Still piles of snow on everything. I have to drive east today, so hopefully the roads will be more clear where I am going. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: MMario Date: 02 Jan 07 - 11:40 AM it appears most of the snow this year is going to Denver for the ski season. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Becca72 Date: 02 Jan 07 - 11:38 AM Here in southern Maine we've had 2 very small snowstorms this year...both of which melted within a day or 2. Right now it's 40° and the sun is out. I'm not complaining. I just hope we don't make up for it in February and get nailed. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: frogprince Date: 01 Jan 07 - 04:50 PM No snow at all in our part of Michigan; only a little short-lived white stuff so far this year. We had a very strange New Years Eve, with temperature in the 40's, fairly heavy rain, and thunder and lightning. I can't remember such a thing as thunder and lightning in this part of the country at this time of year; must be those strange signals from hacked satellites. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST,polar bear Date: 01 Jan 07 - 07:29 AM Also Wet. Which is a bummer, as it should be cold and white, except Dubbya couldn't give a crap about Kyoto. Anyone got any news of the iceberg...? |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: menzze Date: 31 Dec 06 - 05:14 AM usualy we should have at least half a meter of snow at this time of year but it seems as if we have got it all last year for both years. Sun is shining, a little frost during the night, the fields are still green and only the mountains are white on top(about 25km away). No need of snow for me, I prefer winter to go on like this. We're expecting rain for the next week. Where? Southern Germany, the 3country triangle Germany-Austria-Switzerland Have a nice new years day all you catters menzze |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Peace Date: 31 Dec 06 - 02:56 AM I am sticking my tongue out at you and making that pfffffft sound. Here when we say 20 it means below. If we refer to 'above' we specify that. Grass: that's the green stuff from lawns, right? |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Janie Date: 31 Dec 06 - 02:51 AM So far, this is the mildest fall and and early winter I remember in my 20 years in North Carolina. We have had a few chilly days and a handful of nights when the temps dropped into the mid-twenties, but only the tenderest of the plants in my garden have gone completely dormant. I even cut grass today. Janie |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Naemanson Date: 07 Nov 06 - 04:38 AM I'm past the three year point in Guam and still loving the tropics. It got cool the other night, down into the mid 70s, and we considered rolling up the car windows... |

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: GUEST, Ebbie Date: 06 Nov 06 - 06:06 PM In Juneau, Alaska, we've had brilliant and cold weather for the last four or five days. Last night we had high wind warnings and today it is snowing. Very fine snow and swirling all around on the gusts but it's piling up in the corners. Chilly. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: John O'L Date: 06 Nov 06 - 05:14 PM Up until about a week ago it had been very hot & dry. Dams at record low levels, everything dry as a chip, just waitiing for a fire, in fact we had a few minor ones around about the state, but about a week ago it started raining, light steady drizzle; perfect. Today it's sunny again. Everything will be growing lush and moist again. For a while. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Scoville Date: 06 Nov 06 - 05:04 PM Highly variable--cold (well, by our standards--60 degrees) and dry, cold and damp, warm and damp, but always buggy. Cold enough to drive the mosquitoes indoors but not cold enough to kill the little bastards. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Metchosin Date: 06 Nov 06 - 03:40 PM Well, I feel for you Peace, at least its relatively warm here at about 53F. Could someone explain to me why in recent years we stopped having weather every day? At one time, even a bright sunny day was considered "weather". |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Metchosin Date: 06 Nov 06 - 03:31 PM To put this in some sort of perspective, the average annual rainfall for the city of Victoria BC is only around 23 inches for a whole year, about half of what Vancouver gets. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Peace Date: 06 Nov 06 - 03:27 PM Six inches of snow, -20, streets like ice. It's the shits. BUT, we have no weather. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Metchosin Date: 06 Nov 06 - 03:21 PM Well its wet here! Very wet. We're had 4.2 inches of rain since dinner time last night and some areas around here are racking up about .98 inches of rain per hour. This is usually a dryer area of the BC wetcoast. I'm impressed. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Wilfried Schaum Date: 16 Oct 06 - 10:47 AM I'm in the centre of Germany, near Frankfurt am Main.

Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Bunnahabhain Date: 16 Oct 06 - 08:33 AM I just got back from the Highlands, and have had a weekend of the most beautiful weather you could hope for. Warm sunny days, warm enough that people went swimming in the Loch (we were the sking area!), and absolutly clear nights, to see the stars by, well away from the city lights. There was just enough crispness in the air to remind you that it's autumn, and to make the apples taste right, but still early enough we could pick wild bilberries and bluberries. The trees are just strating to turn up there, so it will a week or two down here yet.... |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Joe_F Date: 15 Oct 06 - 09:15 PM In Cambridge, MA, USA, this afternoon, the weather was (barely) warm enough for the MIT chantey singers to sing outside by the river. The sun peeked out occasionally. |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: number 6 Date: 15 Oct 06 - 01:59 PM Back home now ... Outstanding weather here in Saint John! Blue skies and relatively warm at 15c. Blues skies in saint John ?!?!?! sIx |
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are? From: Cordwangler Date: 15 Oct 06 - 08:16 AM Hey, has anybody seen Tony Hancock's Radio Ham? Excellent sitcom episode and the title of this thread reminds me of it. In the days before the internet people all over the world used to talk about the weather using amateur radio. In Warwickshire, UK it's cloudy and a bit damp. Anyone got first hand experience of what the weather's doing in Tokyo? |
