We are expecting 78 days of winter. The last three days have been 60 F, setting a historic high temperature for the year. I hear only Donald Trump will know what to do.

It's bitterly cold and some places are getting snow.

Snow in the forecast for Thursday, just very cold overnight for the rest of the week. We're on the bottom end of the storm swooping through the middle of the continent.

No snowstorm here, but that wind is something to deal with.
It is what is colloquially called a lazy wind:
it goes right through you because it is too lazy to work at going around you.
And is it ever cold!

51F in SWFL, which is frigid for down here and it's not supposed to get above 60 today. I love it, went for a bike ride this morning and got back with a frozen face.

The sun is shining brightly today in Perth County, Ontario, with a forecast high of minus 7 Celsius and a wind-chill warning explained by the tossing trees. A warming trend is supposed to begin tomorrow, accompanied (as usual) by snow every day for a week. We're having a normal lake-effect winter.

How do you freeze your face, even on a bike, at 51 Fahrenheit?

Well, while that storm system churns about in the midsection of the continent,
New England is getting some relief in the form of
no more icy winds,
although temps remain at or below freezing.

Right now it isn't bad, as there is little wind.

Here, too.

As a rule, falling snow means not cold -- at least not by Canadian standards. I'd rather shovel than freeze.

here in the Harbour City in the Land of Aus, we've had a cool spell. Howling winds dropping trees left, right & centre all day - 3pm I noticed d a City of Sydney SES (State Emergency service) truck rushing to Hyde Park to pull a tree off some folks who were sheltering, they (only) had minor injuries. pictures dunno why those idiots were outside on the ferry in high water

From days with nasty humidity last night was so cold (in comparison to Northern Hemisphere cold) that the light woollen shawl I occasionally use over my sheet in a normal Sydney summer (fan is on all night) was not enough. Last night I added my warmer wooly shawl - also not enough, so I threw it off & added a folded over medium woollen blanket. The wind howled all day & night

Today's forecast. 26C (= 78F) Cloudy. High chance of showers. Winds south to southeasterly 25 to 40 km/h decreasing to 20 to 30 km/h in the late evening. Large and powerful surf conditions are expected to be hazardous for coastal activities such as rock fishing, swimming and surfing.

Cold, well below freezing every night through Thursday, but it does warm to the 50s in the daytime starting Wednesday. The slight threat of precipitation has vanished from the forecast, an excellent development in a region where 1" of snow can bring the place to a standstill.

No buses running in Edinburgh during the red alert phase, which is from 10am to 5pm.
Amber alert starts at 6 am. Very calm at the moment (12 midnight)
First time ever, one of those siren alerts to all mobile phones, with a message about the impending doom. I didn’t hear mine, as was in another room at the other end of the house when it went off, but others report having been terrified by its loudness!

Well that was some storm - or at least it's still going but tailing off. Just watching the news, and a trail of destruction throughout Ireland and Scotland and N England - 1000s of trees down, roofs blown off, falling masonry as chimneys collapse, whole sides of buildings taken out, lorries and cars blown over, power cuts, floods. It was another day of lockdown, and rightly so.
On a personal note, we had one fence panel down in our back garden, and a woodpile blown about. And now we have the prospect of snow and ice coming overnight. Happy Days!

Here in the northeast US it isn't so beastly cold any more,
but not warm enough for the snow and ice to melt yet
(so mud season is not upon us just yet).

here we have a heat wave - 40C/104F in the harbour city & hotter (42) further west. Tomorrow & following days 25/77F. Expert (Academic) on getting cool is on the radio - shopping centres, public libraries, community spaces etc. are recommended. My plan today was to drop off kitchen scraps at Community Garden compost bins, plan now is to go after 6pm.

Bright cloudless sunshine, though, on top of that wind.
