What's the weather today in your area?

[Absinthe]

It was about time that we started the weather thread! :D

Right now it is approximately +15C in Athens, sunny and warm :icon_cool:

[Loki]

Partly cloudy, the sun is threatening to break through. The weekend was overcast and rainy.

[Lars]

Dry and cloudy. The temperature is 0°C to 2°C. Tonight it will freeze up to -5°C.

[Treffie]

It was about time that we started the weather thread! :D



Yes, about time too, I was waiting for it!!

6c, cloudy but dry here at the moment.

[Pino]

about 5c or 6c. Preety mild.

[Aemma]

Right now it is approximately +15C in Athens, sunny and warm :icon_cool:


I hate you! :D :tongue

:p...Aemma

[MarcvSS]

Very sunny, nice clear sky, but rather chilly...

Kind of weather that let's you believe spring is coming.:D

[HawkR]

Here it's about 10C-15C I would guess, sunny, clear blue sky.

And yeah, it was about time we started this thread:p

[Aemma]

Oh geez, I really hate you all so far. :D

Try this on for size: a gorgeous blue sky filled with Sunna's brilliant beams and whispy white clouds (and a few chem trails unfortunately ;(); a heavy coat of compacted snow on the ground; and, about -23C outside with a windchill factor of -31C (that means it feels like it's -31C!!!).

It's bloody cold! BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

:cold0000:...Aemma

[Treffie]

^Show off, lol!

[Allenson]

I hate you! :D :tongue

:p...Aemma

Cold, ain't it neighbor? ;)

We were -21F (-29C) here yesterday morning.

This moring we were a balmy -14F (-25C) here.

:coffee:

[Lady L]

Today is quite pretty...it is 54 degrees out, and sunshine....I love the South...:)

[Octothorpe]

In northern Illinois, the temperatures were warmer today than they've been in some time, reaching about 15 degrees F. It's been much colder lately, and the snowpack has been on the ground for well over twenty days without any significant thawing. Makes me dream of spring, it does . . .

[Æmeric]

It's currently about 25F with a thin dusting of snow outside. It's suppose to snow tonight & tommorow, maybe 2-3 inches. We've only had about 1.5 inches so far this winter. But the ice on my pond is about 4 -5 inches thick. I live south of the snowbelt but north of the sunbelt. Everything turns brown & dies in the winter time & there is no blanket of white snow to cover it up.:(

[Jägerstaffel]

It snowed this morning. Crisp and chilly with no wind, pale white sky. Supposed to snow tonight and freezing rain tomorrow.

I'm like Æmeric though, mostly everything just looks brown and dead. Very black metal. :)

[Aemma]

Oooooo that's like parts of southern and southwestern Ontario...bleak and desolate and nary any snow to be had. :( This I would not like however. I'll keep my little Nordic paradise thanks. :D But I'll always be willing to share my snow with you Æmeric; I'll send you truck loads if you want! :D

Cheers!...Aemma

[SwordoftheVistula]

Do the forum rules on obscenities apply to this thread?

[Allenson]

We've only had about 1.5 inches so far this winter.

Up to over 80" for the season here so far. :cool:

Anyway--great point about the middle belt; neither in the sunbelt nor the snowbelt but instead, stuck betwixt and between.

[Manifest Destiny]

Today it's clear, sunny and colder than a witch's tit. I don't know the temperature now, but it was in the low 30s a couple of hours ago when I was driving home from work.

[Æmeric]

We had a couple of inches of snow overnight. And freezing rain today. The roads are just lovely.:rolleyes2: More sleet & snow tonight. What with the freezing rain mixing with the snow everything is covered in a sheet of white ice.:rant:

[Jägerstaffel]

Same here. Ice everywhere. I love winter but I hate to drive in it.

[Alison]

The weather today in Jo'burg is wet and cool. Quite nice, actually.

[Treffie]

10c here today - there's a big golden glowing thing just hanging there, surrounded by some blue stuff (haven't seen them in a while, really can't remember what they're called) :rolleyes:

[Aemma]

We've got a winter storm happening that began about 2 hours ago. It's coming all the way from Texas!! They're calling for 15-20 cms of snow today. So I really am in my snow globe today with the white stuff just a-spiralling every which way. I think I'll be doing some of this :ranger:, and this :book2:, and this :stricken:, and this :typing and a bit of that :washing: and perhaps a tad of this too :sleep: today. :)

[Æmeric]

Snow day! The county has declared a snow emergency. You don't have to stay off the roads but the recommend it. No lialbility if you ignore them. Anyway they probably won't get around to clearing my road for a couple of days, there are only 3 households up here. There's about 3-4 inches of snow on top of all the ice. I was waken several times last night by the sound of tree limbs breaking off from the weight of the ice & crashing to the ground.

Lost power for about 5-hours last night but it happen at bedtime so no biggy. Guess I will goof off (more then normal) for the next couple of days.:typing

[Æmeric]

Update: I couldn't go anywhere if I wanted to. The gravel lane I live on is blocked by several large tree limbs. And the state road it leads to is closed. They haven't even began to clear it, I suspect they are using their resources to clear I-64.


http://christmas.newarchaeology.com/snowman.jpg

The snow we got is too powdery to make snowballs or a snowman out of. Walking in it is like wading through sand.

[Allenson]

Yep, the same snowstorm has been ripping along here all day here too. Closing in on a foot of snow so far. :)

[Treffie]

My prayers have been answered! It's currently -2c here at the moment and it's snowing. Weather forecast says it's going to get a lot worse throughout the day and tonight. :D

[Loki]

Yep same here. Deepest snow I've seen so far in this area, looks lovely. :thumbs up

[Pino]

Snow snow snow!

[Osweo]

I'm gunnae build a snowman. Haven't done one for years! (Always felt too shy to do one in Muscovy). Photos on their way! :P

[stormlord]

I'm gunnae build a snowman. Haven't done one for years! (Always felt too shy to do one in Muscovy). Photos on their way! :P

Ha! Been busy working and hadn't looked out the window yet today, reading that reminded me to, and lo and behold we have snow too! I guess the whole country's covered.

[Jägerstaffel]

Snowy and wet.

[Æmeric]

What happened to global warming?:confused:

[Loki]

5-day forecast for my area:

http://www.theapricity.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=610&stc=1&d=1234014951

Snow is still lying on the grass from a few days ago, and everything is icy. Yesterday morning (very early, around 4am I think) we had an interesting thunderstorm -- not much precipitation, but very loud thunder and lightning close to home. I loved it.

Going out now to brave the cold. ;)

[Jägerstaffel]

It's supposed to be sunny and warm (60 - 65 F ) this weekend and then dropping down significantly by Monday. I hate these fluxuations...

[woody]

Here in NC, it's going to be 68 F today and tomorrow. Monday, it will drop down to 58, but that's warm compared to what it has been. Damn global warming! I guess someone forgot to tell nature that it was supposed to be warmer. :rolleyes2:

[Treffie]

They've forecast -14c tonight. Must remember to keep the cats in!:rolleyes:

[Atlas]

4th snow day in this - not finished yet - winter in northern France.

[Absinthe]

It's about +14C now. At noon it was about +20C and sunny, I took a rather enjoyable walk :)

[YggsVinr]

In sunny, tropical St. John's it is a rather mild day today. Cloudy, a few snowflakes here and there, -6 without wind chill, -12 with wind chill. Never a windless day on this damned island;)

[Hors]

It's getting warm in Moscow, -4 and cloudy, but it was -10/12 in the morning and colder and sunny for past several days.

Last Tuesday for the first time this season I felt the apricity :-) There was no clouds and sun was shining brightly for the 3rd or 4th time in 3 months...

[Æmeric]

Today in the Ohio Valley it is about 60F. Most of the snow & ice from last week has melted.

[Æmeric]

We're under a tornado watch until 5:00PM CST/6:00PM EST (the boundary between the 2 zones runs through this area. A tornado watch means conditions are favorable to the formation of tornados. There is also a tornado warning, meaning one has beem spotted on doppler radar. It appears to be heading to the north of us. A severe thunderstorm is currently passing through.:runs:

[Treffie]

7c and sunny here.

[Ulf]

61F/18C Sunny, breezy.

[Æmeric]

Storm front passed through, now it is bright & sunny outside.

[Aemma]

61F/18C Sunny, breezy.

Ohh now I hate you Oulfie! Here I thought I was doing well with my measly +6C!!! :p

[Lady L]

Storm front passed through, now it is bright & sunny outside.

Same here but without the storm-just a little rain and plenty of winds-all that weather coverage for nothing-bummer :rolleyes: Now the sky's are blue and its 65 degrees. :)

[Stegura]

Unseasonably Warm!

Low to mid 70's F! :thumb001:

Wore Shorts and sneakers last two days. Did lots of walking outdoors yesterday. Had a couple drinks outside on the patio of a local bar today! Very good weather for early February!

[Jägerstaffel]

Here comes the storm...

I hear it battering my roof.

[SPQR]

Just got a huge snowstorm ;) 20-30F during the day, bit colder at night.

[Beorn]

The weather has been pretty erratic of late, but it seems to have stopped snowing and gone back to it's normal self.

The sun was very warm today, and I swore I could hear the sound of thunder!

[Absinthe]

I hate you too Stegura!! :D
Around +20 here as well, very sunny and warm :p

[HawkR]

The snow is still on the ground(Been like this for soon 1 1/2 week:D), slippery as hell, ended in the ditch twice:p

About a few + degrees 3 hours a day, then - degrees at night... Wee! But this night it has been suprisingly warm though, so and say no freezing at my car... Strange, well, anyways, no Fimbul winter coming yet:p

[Treffie]

-1c at the moment here, nice and sunny too! :thumb001:

[Aemma]

Around +20 here as well, very sunny and warm :p

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! :lalala: :D

[Gooding]

Sunny and warm, with cool winds blowing:)

[Lars]

It's been minus 2-5 degrees Celcius here in many weeks now, but my area has not seen much snow. :coffee:
http://www.theapricity.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=629&stc=1&d=1234455282

[Absinthe]

Hard to believe, but we've been "freezing" for some days now in Athens.

(In quotation marks because our freezing is not the same as your freezing :D)

Right now it's +6C but it feels colder because of the bloody humidity (I hate that :mad:) and throughout the week it's been going like this....approximately a +4C - +7C average.

It has snowed on the mountains of Attica and in some suburbs but it never goes beyond light snow/rain in the centre.

I really hate this intermediate, muddy weather. I like it when't it's either hot and sunny (+20C) or very cold (below 0C) and snowy.

[Inese]

Weather is cloudy. There was snow but now it´s pissing rain!!! :D :D I hope for summer.

[Treffie]

It's been mild here for the last 2 weeks or so, it's been around 11-14C in the day and about 6C at night. Today it's bright and sunny so a great day to go for a walk. Have got a feeling that it'll turn colder soon though.

[Lady L]

So far its a mix of sunny - cloudy and the temp right now is 51 degrees but it is suppose to be moving up to 69 for the high...:D

Yesterday the high only reached about 46 degrees. Its a flip-flop kinda thang :D

[MarcvSS]

Nice and sunny at the moment.:)

[Jägerstaffel]

Ups and downs.
One day it is warm and one day it is bone chillingly cold and windy.

I'm all for winter, my favorite season, but I'm sick of this crap. Let it just be spring and get on with it.

[Treffie]

We had 14C and sunny today, very mild for us. We're probably going to pay for it soon.

[Lady L]

Its cold ( 31 degrees ) wet and it snowed a bit...but its not sticking. My mom which is 2 hours away got 9 inches...:D I haven't seen that much snow in years and still counting...:cool:

[Jägerstaffel]

It snowed here last night and this morning. We're expecting 3 to 5 inches tonight.

Good day to stay inside and drink hot chocolate.

[Gooding]

Quite dreary and rainy today.:D I absolutely love this weather! :p

[Electronic God-Man]

I am planning on hitting the bars tonight, but quite unexpectedly there seems to be a snowstorm rolling through here currently. We might get up to 8 inches of snow. It won't stop snowing until around 3 PM tomorrow. WTF, that came out of left field.

EDIT:
THE WINTER STORM WARNING IS IN EFFECT INTO MONDAY AFTERNOON.

SNOW WILL SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE REGION THIS EVENING AND BECOME HEAVY AT TIMES OVERNIGHT. WINDS WILL ALSO INCREASE LATE TONIGHT ALLOWING FOR BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF THE SNOW WITH VISIBILITIES FALLING BELOW 1/4 MILE AT TIMES.

BASED ON THE LATEST FORECAST TRACK OF THE STORM... IT APPEARS AS THOUGH 8 TO 12 INCHES OF SNOW WILL FALL.

Well, what I am most concerned about is that my friends will probably all cancel on me.

EDIT EDIT: Got the call, all systems go. Perfect drinkin' weather.

[MarcvSS]

It appears spring has stuck its head up...

Since yesterday my GF's garden is covered with all sorts of flowers, her cats are hyperactively running through the garden and I just saw a butterfly...

At the moment the sun is shining, so I got me a chair and a beer, and am enjoying the warm rays on my face...:)

[Treffie]

4C here and..........snow!:thumb001:

[Absinthe]

About +18C, partly cloudy. Feels rather warm outside.

[HawkR]

It seems like the gods are playing with us over here, there's pretty nice weather, clouded. But the wind kicks in from time to time, perhaps a challenge as I'm gonna practice today? Who knows, let's wait and see.

[Osweo]

Yesterday was weird, there was every different sort and colour of cloud in the sky, and plenty of blue bits too. There was blue above me, and it was warmish, but then it started snowing!

The hedgehogs have woken up though - had to save one from my dog last night! She hates em!

[Barreldriver]

Weather is warm and sunny :D:D:D

[Treffie]

6C and cloudy here today - I hate 'in between' weather.

[Vargtand]

This year Borås has had 4 clear days the rest of the days have been either cloudy, rainy, snowy or snow mixed with rain. Today it is cloudy though. Could rain it is not very unusual for borås :P (rainiest city in Sweden)

[Atlas]

I enjoyed the Apricity today... (warm sun in the cold winter)

[Lady L]

67 degrees :thumb001: and Sunny :D

[Jägerstaffel]

It's very warm and sunny today here. I'm wearing shorts - the doors and windows are open! What a day.

Almost all of the snow is gone except for the big mounds.

[Gooding]

Sunny and quite similar to what I imagine Mediterranean weather to be like..

[SPQR]

It's been nice and sunny, around 70F. The past few days have been horribly windy though..

[Æmeric]

Temperature has been in the lower 70s F today. Very springlike.

[Birka]

Temperature has been in the lower 70s F today. Very springlike.
Same here in central Penna. Oh no, Algore was right!:eek:

[Atlas]

Cloudy but relatively warm satursday here.

[Osweo]

I'm in London. I walked around all day in just a shirt and jumper, no coat. No HAT even! :-O
It was a bit windy at times, but unseasonally warm.

Or maybe that's just what it's like in The South! :P

[Treffie]

5C here today and rain, rain, rain. :(

[Atlas]

Cloudy but warm.

[Tolleson]

Getting warmer, the snow is slowly melting away.

The sap should start running soon.:food-smiley-002:

[Treffie]

15C and sunshine!:thumb001:

[Absinthe]

^ Same here :p

[Beorn]

It is sunny and overall rather pleasant.

http://www.raisingspirits.org/sunshine.gif

[Tolleson]

Sunny and 2 deg C. Just a little nippley!:D

[Stossy]

Cloudy and around 10°C.

[Osweo]

Bluddy Awful! Boiling hot! 14'C or something... :mad:

Roll on October...

[Barreldriver]

The weather is just how I like it here, very cloudy, cool but not cold, slight breeze, and signs of rain, I hope it rains, I love rain, I wish it could rain every day, especially when I get back to the country, rain seems to make the grass look greener and it makes me more energized and inspired.

[Treffie]

At 8am it was 6C and bright and sunny

It's now 13C and still bright and sunny, it's going to be much colder at the weekend though.

[Electronic God-Man]

It looks kinda sunny out.

Chance of beer.

[Addergebroed]

Wonderful! This type of sunny brings a constant smile to my face! Riding home on the moped without gloves feels like a bird freed from his cage! :D

[Baron Samedi]

You know, it's March here on the "great" Gulf Coast.... Sunny as can be and in the 70's.

UGH

[Absinthe]

It has been raining all afternoon. About +10C...

[Allenson]

Chance of beer.

Probability near 100%.

:cheers:

[Electronic God-Man]

Probability near 100%.

:cheers:

It's 100%. Unless someone invents a time machine and takes away all the beer I've had already.

[Lady L]

Today is winding down but it was an absolutely beautiful day! The whole family got to get out and enjoy it! We tried grilling out, but it was a bit to windy...the kids played outside alllll day!!! :D It was in the lower 70's and sunshine sunshine! I'm so excited about Spring and Summer...:thumbs up

[Jägerstaffel]

Felt good. Went outside in the breezy 70 degree Fahrenheit weather, trimmed the bushes in the front yard.

Doing my best to enjoy the weather before it gets too hot.

[Baron Samedi]

Too sunny, too warm for March today.

I would be much happier in a place like the Pacific Northwest.....

[HawkR]

10 - 15 deg. celsius. Sunny, I see trees of green, no red roses though:p I can't wait till lunchbrake, going for a walk:D

[Barreldriver]

what time is it in Norway? Lunch dang, it's 5 AM here.

[Treffie]

17C and sunny! :thumb001:

[Atlas]

Today ? Let's just say this week ! It has been warm and sunny, yeah SPRING IS HERE !

[Treffie]

Today ? Let's just say this week ! It has been warm and sunny, yeah SPRING IS HERE !

Not just yet, we're going to have -4C over here tonight! :rolleyes:

[Dalriada]

Was rather strange here today: really quite warm (compared to usual, that is) but with rather low cloud, so much so that one couldn't see the Campsie Hills.

[Birka]

Very cold until noon, it even snowed for a while. Then it warmed to the upper 40's in the afternoon.

[Stossy]

Sunny, no clouds in the sky.

[Hors]

Serious snowstorm, -4 (C)

[Aemma]

Bluddy Awful! Boiling hot! 14'C or something... :mad:

Roll on October...

Oh good grief Os....are you for real??! :D Bloody hot eh? hahahaha...come visit Ottawa in July and August then matey, and then stick around for mid-January to the end of February....super hot to super cold. You'll not even believe it!

Never mind 'roll on October'...I need my Spring and Summer first! You've had your turn now it's mine! :D

[Aemma]

Veiled sun/overcast. The sun peeks out every now and again. A tad windy and coolish at about 7 C. At least the snow is melting some more and the ground is thawing out. :)

[Treffie]

Dunedin weather (http://www.metservice.co.nz/public/localWeather/dunedin.html)

It's just kinda gray and miserable here. Not that I was planning to go outside anyway :)
I love checking the above site in the morning when I'm still in bed to see what the day has in store for me. I especially like the windchill factor where they tell me how many layers of clothing I should be wearing outside :D

[SPQR]

Beautiful weather here, the sun is shining bright and the wind has finally calmed down. 21C/70F+

I've always wondered what a blast of wind from the Antarctic would feel like. I bet it makes our Arctic blasts feel tropical! :eek:

[Solwyn]

Be still my heart, it went up to 7C today!!!! Everyone laughs at me, but I still say that Manitoba has at least two more blizzards to go before May arrives. What a winter it was, so many bitter, bitter days. This is a province of extremes. The winter will bring temps in the -40s with windchills down into the -50s and -60s in some instances, and then in the summer it will be 40C!!! Why does everyone stay in Winnipeg? July and August, baby:cool:

[Barreldriver]

It must be the British blood Aemms! Beorn, Oswiu and myself wilt if it goes over 17C/63F!! :rolleyes:

[Fortis in Arduis]

Here in Uttarakhand the mountains will soon turn green, because it rained yesterday and the day before.

:D

It is a bit chilly.

[Electronic God-Man]

Serious snowstorm, -4 (C)

Can I just say that I love Hors's weather reports from Russia. :D

"It was god-awfully cold again today. Snow up to your eyeballs. I wonder what tomorrow will bring..."

[Hors]

Russia has the worst climate in the world (when it comes to freezing temperatures). Well, Mongolia is even worse but it isn't much of a country.

Even Iceland has a milder climate.

Today, however, it's very sunny and chilly (-5 C). Yesterday's perfectly white snow reflects light and one has to wear sun glasses, as eyes are still adjusted to semi-polar night darkness. :D

[Loki]

If global warming is genuine and becomes a reality, Russia would be the country to benefit most by this. All the vast expanses of Siberia would become arable land. Canada would benefit too.

[Stossy]

A bit cloudy, no rain, temp around 10°C.

[Atlas]

A bit cloudy, no rain, temp around 10°C.

Same here. Seems spring is gone already. :(

[Treffie]

If global warming is genuine and becomes a reality, Russia would be the country to benefit most by this. All the vast expanses of Siberia would become arable land. Canada would benefit too.

This would also make Russia one of the most polluting countries in the world. The methane that is trapped in the permafrost would start to release.

http://www.terranature.org/methaneSiberia.htm

[Hors]

Even better. Methane will make the climate much warmer. Imagine palm trees on the Bering Sea shores... :D

[SPQR]

GAH the damn wind is back, 15MPH winds

[Gooding]

Warm with cool breezes.

[HawkR]

Friday and Saturday gave us sun, well, whole last week so and say. But Sunday was rainy, except from time to time when the sun would shine. Today started with shitty snow, turning in to hail, turning back to snow and then the sun came and kicked ass! Would guess about 10 - 15 celsius.

[Allenson]

A cold front swept through yesterday--so, it's blustery & chilly now. Still crusty-old, rotten snow on the ground and the muddy roads are all frozen up.

[Addergebroed]

Dutch.:rolleyes:

[Manifest Destiny]

Today the sun is coming up and the sky is clear, but it's really cold due to a strong wind.

[Frigga]

We've had a really wierd winter here. It's our third straight winter with below normal rainfall. We didn't get any rain during January, which is supposed to be our wettest month, and instead, had beautiful sunny days in the upper 60s, to lower 70s!! We've had pittyly rain for the last six weeks. Now, it's a cold morning with lots of frost, and not a drop of rain in sight. :(

[Aemma]

It must be the British blood Aemms! Beorn, Oswiu and myself wilt if it goes over 17C/63F!! :rolleyes:

Bahh! Delicate flowers that you are! ;) :D

[Aemma]

I feel ya there. Anything over that and I feel like I'm in a sauna, probably because I'm a Bruenn though.


Well I don't think that this matters at all actually Rath. Bruenn or not, when it's hot it's hot and when it's cold it's cold. The thing is that none of you really knows cold until you've actually gone to visit a country such as Canada that has these amazingly wild temperature differentials. And don't go telling me you live in "the North" either!! Cuz, baby you don't! Ha!

:cool:...Aemma

Oh I don't know about that Hors, Canada can certainly give Russia a run for its money in the weather department (as well as in hockey of course! ;)...ok yes, I had to!! :D). After Ulaanbaatar, Ottawa (the capital of Canada--NOT Toronto btw) is the coldest capital city in the world, yes even colder than Moscow apparently.

Pretty much the same here :( Nice and sunny though but only -8 C right now and it's past noon and it's Spring now, for crying out loud! :( Not much snow left in the burbs but in the outlying areas yes. At least my son got to go skiing this past Friday. :)

Hope the sap is running nicely Dalton! :)

Pretty much the same here :( Nice and sunny though but only -8 C right now and it's past noon and it's Spring now, for crying out loud! :( Not much snow left in the burbs but in the outlying areas yes. At least my son got to go skiing this past Friday. :)



Geez, that was the coldest night we had all winter! You Canadians really are a hardy bunch!

Here it's windy, damp an `orrible!

Yeah, I thought spring was here but we had a bit of a snow storm on Saturday so the snow has returned and its around -7 now but not too windy so not too chilly just now. Sunnier than before, however.

@The Brits, you Brits sure do like to complain about the "cold" and the "heat". Yet Britain experiences extremes of neither! What on earth are you guys complaining about?! :p

[The Lawspeaker]

Right now it is around 6C and quite cold and wet outside. It has been windy and rainy for most of the day.

It looks like winter is returning..

We're just a bunch of wusses! I love the cold, but I'm not sure that I could cope with it for almost 6 months of the year!:(

[Allenson]

Well I don't think that this matters at all actually Rath. Bruenn or not, when it's hot it's hot and when it's cold it's cold

Oh, I suspect that there actually is something very real about race/subrace and climatic preferences, tolerance, etc. It's partially what lead to the differentiation of the human species. That however, is a topic for another time and another thread. ;)



Geez, that was the coldest night we had all winter! You Canadians really are a hardy bunch!

Try the minus twenties & thirties. That'll get one's attention. :p

The coldest morning of this past winter at my place was -27F which is -33C. Brrrrrr.....



Hope the sap is running nicely Dalton!

Rather hit or miss this year--the weather has been flukey (up & down) and the run has been kind of slow for me the past few days. I was able to boil some up over the weekend though.

Here's a shot of a batch I had going yesterday--getting close to syrup but not quite there:

No, no Tref dearest, you must KEEP your hat on during such weather! ;)

[Baron Samedi]

Sunny and bright today.... ugh.

That, and I have the "snotty nose" syndrome from the flowers having their sex and gratuity...

[Solwyn]

It went from bitter and nasty here to flood watch!! The authorities here in Manitoba say its no big deal, but North Dakota mustered the National Guard, LOL, and they're only an hour away. Four days of rain and snow on top of what was waiting to melt already. It could be interesting, LOL, if you should happen to see a crazy woman on the news, beating looters with her mjollnir in the near future, it might be me:D

[Gooding]

Sunny with cool breezes. It is Spring at last.

[Aemma]

Still. cold.

[Hors]

- 8 with strong wind. Very cold. No sun. And it's snowing a bit.

[Elveon]

Sunny day today; vive la France:D

[Allenson]

Still. cold.

Yeah, another cool day but not quite like yesterday. I'm not sure what went on in the Ottawa valley yesterday but it was windy as all hell here and it made for a very biting day. :ohwell:

[Aemma]

It was pretty much the same as what you had too. We had a windchill of -20 C yesterday morning. :( I so want some warmth!!

Moscow, 2 years ago

[Arundel]

Here in Missouri, which is in the middle part of the U. S., we are having unusual but nice weather. We never hardly had any winter, and now it is acting like spring. Officially we can still have freezing weather until May 15th. Last fall I ordered a bush from an online nursery, and they replied they would send it in the spring at an appropriate time. Guess what I got it today, two months before it quits freezing here. For the time being it is sitting on my bathroom window sill. But the weather itself is marvelous, some days it has been in the 60's & 70's. The birds have returned and flowers are sprouting.

[Gooding]

Sunny spring day with a slight wind chill.

[Æmeric]

Rainey with temperatures in the 60s (F).

[Fortis in Arduis]

It rained quite heavily today, and right now, we have thunder and lightning.

[Solwyn]

I watched the good folks of Fargo sandbagging their homes last night with a heavy heart. Today was almost a total white out. I made it into work anyway, and since then it's calmed down. The students are a little put out about the fact that I won't be shutting the place down but the clients aren't cancelling, and everyone made it here:thumbs up

At least it's warmed up to -5C. I told them that it could be worse, it could be -47 AND snowing like crazy.

:D

[Loki]

It rained quite heavily today, and right now, we have thunder and lightning.

Ah, the Lower Himalayas receive some of the highest rainfall on earth, and rather intense as it is concentrated around a few months only. I'd like to experience such a monsoon downpour. :)

[Æmeric]

Oddly enough there is a monsoon season in the US Southwest in July & august. Usually most storms consist of wind (with dust of course) thunder & lightening & the smell of wet dirt in the air with little actually rain. They usually form in the evening hours. But I have experienced some torrential downfalls with several inches of rain that have result in flash floods, streets turning into rivers & retention basins becoming lakes in less then an hour. These stroms can be very localized however, with one area receiving several inches of rain & another area a few miles away receiving nothing.

[Allenson]

Beautiful day today--milder than it's been lately and the wind has finally settled down.

Dawn this morning from my place, stale crusty old snow still hanging around though.

[Birka]

Raining, cold, about 42 degrees F. We do need the rain though. Tomorrow is supposed to be in the 60's.:)

[Ulf]

Rainy right before I'm off to work. Awesome. :thumb001:

[Treffie]

Rain, rain and more again, oh and 30mph winds too! Love it!:thumb001:

[Lady L]

70 degrees and sunshine :)

[The Lawspeaker]

A bit cold and rainy. 9C (and night) at the moment.

[Barreldriver]

The weather is excellent today, cool, cloudy, and it rained for a bit.

[Sol Invictus]

It's overcast here. The weather is a bit on the mild side with the occasion gust of wind from the North that sends a bit of a chill on the skin. Not quite short-sleeve weather, yet, but ooo boy it's getting there. I can't wait for summer.

[Loki]

We currently have a hailstorm outside ... I love it! :thumb001:

I opened the front door and windows to bring in some fresh air. :) At times like these, I have hope. The freshness of nature is invigorating.

[The Lawspeaker]

Cloudy, 10C

[Electronic God-Man]

It just started hailing and thundering here.

I got a call informing me that a tornado had touched down back home and that a flying trampolene damaged my car. :(

...the lightning is striking very close to here. Have to stay away from the window.

[Aemma]

It's been cloudy and raining off and on all day today but a fresh hard Spring rain that washes the last of winter's remains. The rain has been steadily feeding my tulips though which is quite nice! :)

[Holtlander]

grey,grey and grey..and a little bit of rain.

[Solwyn]

Snowing!!! Again!!! Another week of weather warnings!!! For the second week in a row my boss is unable to leave Gimli on a daily basis because the $^%# highways are closed. I am seriously starting to HATE living in this province. It feels like winter will never. go. away.

:cry

[Gooding]

Drizzling rain.

[Absinthe]

Very hot and humid, plus there's a cloud of African dust covering the sky (I can here some members giggling already ;))

[Solwyn]

Cold!!! And more fargin snow!!!! Winter! Can! Go! Anytime now.....:rolleyes:

[Treffie]

4C and thick fog. :thumb001:

[Æmeric]

Yesterday evening was rain, wind & thunder. This morning was more rain & thunder.

[Absinthe]

Very hot. Almost unbearably hot, one might say...

[Fortis in Arduis]

The weather was sunny with a light breeze.

It has not rained for a while though.

[HawkR]

In the morning it was some intense fog, but now... Sun and 16.6C degrees:D

[Barreldriver]

Cool and rainy!!! Best day ever.

[Aemma]

Grey and very cool (a tad above 0 C)...solidly overcast. They're calling for rain here but snow in other parts of my province...TO especially. Oh gods no, they may have to call in the Canadian Armed Forces to help them shovel the stuff. LOL! (Inside joke for Canucks eh? ;))

But at least there is no snow falling from the sky...I'll take it! :)

[The Lawspeaker]

Nice and sunny, 18c.
No wind- perfect weather (shame I haven't got any money for the pub lol)

It's pretty miserable here today - 9C, rain and very windy.

[Aemma]

It seems that I spoke too soon. :(

It is now snowing here. LOL! A whirlwind of big fluffy snowflakes is giving me quite the show outside. :)

[Frigga]

And I thought I was done with the wood stove for the season. I suppose I will be trudging out to the wood piles this evening again and hauling wood in for the fire tonight. Does make it nice and cosy though.......

[Barreldriver]

Rain and snow! Yay!

[Æmeric]

There's a wet snow coming down but it's not sticking. Temperature is in the upper 30s F. Overnight several of the trees started to bloom so in spite of the wet weather it looks rather nice outside.

[Barreldriver]

Woot! I can make a snow man today!!!!! we've got approx. 3 in. of snow. :D

[Aemma]

I live in a perpetual snowglobe it would seem.... *sigh*

[Barreldriver]

I live in a perpetual snowglobe it would seem.... *sigh*

Thanks Aemma for sending that perpetual snowglobe to North East Ohio. :P Well, I have Canada to thank now for me being able to make a snow man in April.

[Allenson]

I live in a perpetual snowglobe it would seem.... *sigh*


Ah, getting snow today? We had some wet flakes mixed in with the heavy rain yesterday but no accumulation. We're on the "warm" side of the storm right now (35F/1.6C) so it's been mostly rain....whereas you & Barreldriver are on the colder side of the system, hence the snow. It's all about what the temperature of the air is 5000' above the earth's surface.

I expect colder air to move in aloft over us latter today and we should see some wet, slushy snow accumulate overnight--particularly over the higher terrain. My house is at 1200' above sealevel so we often see snow where the lower valleys stay rain.

Regardless, the weather has been pretty foul around here for the last week or so with only brief glimpses of blue sky & sunshine (Sunday afternoon was nice).

[bousch]

Partly cloudy, the sun is threatening to break through. The weekend was overcast and rainy.

is that not a typical day in the UK?

[bousch]

partly sunny windy 50f
this Yankee weather sure sucks
what i say if you dont like the weather in PA wait an hour it will get a hell of a lot worse :thumb001:

[Barreldriver]

Jesus, big ass snow cloud just rushed into my back door, damn it Aemma! lol :D

[Maelstrom]

It's pissing down... I'm going to get drenched going to uni :(

[Barreldriver]

[Beorn]

[Maelstrom]

You lucky buggar. Trade me weather now! :D

I managed to buy an umbrella from the pharmacy just around the corner, it cost me $12 and though I'm a poor student I regarded that as a worthwhile investment. Until I got half way to uni and it turned inside out with a not-so violent gust of wind. :mad:

So I resigned myself to buying yet another umbrella from a shop at the university. Walking home the same thing thankfully didn't happen. :thumbs up

Other than that it's been freezing bloody cold and raining pretty much constantly all day. :( Add to that the cracked window that also doesn't line up properly (I've been nagging the landlord about this for aaages) and my room is pretty bloody cold. :rolleyes:

[Aemma]

Still living in a snowglobe...pretty fluffy flakes casually flying about...and there's a wee carpet of snow on the ground now...just enough to whitewash the brownish-green grass.

But they tell us it's supposed to hit above 10 C come Monday!!! :rolleyes:

[Tolleson]

Still not golfing weather! :(

[Treffie]

Four seasons in one today. It rained like hell this morning, strong winds and then sunshine. It's raining again now.

[Tolleson]

Four seasons in one today. It rained like hell this morning, strong winds and then sunshine. It's raining again now.

Four seasons! Where the hel is the snow...:eek:

We had snow/rain/sunshine/snow/strong winds/rain/sunshine and then chocolate from the Ostara store..:D

[Treffie]

Four seasons! Where the hel is the snow...:eek:



Nah, we don't get snow here (well, very little anyway), so it doesn't count! :D

[Lady L]

Well, we barely missed the tornadoes. :( They were all around and got very very close. We have trees and power polls down. Homes destroyed, trailers turned upside down...etc, It got very scary for a few minutes here with the city alarms sounding and the hail bouncing off the ground and cars. The hail that fell here is bigger than golf balls ...we got a few of them in the freezer :D

There were 2 people that I know of killed in the Murfreesboro, Tn tornadoes, apparently a mother and her infant child. :(

I will post some pictures later.

[Lady L]

I will post some pictures later.

Our hail was much much larger.

Hot and humid.

[Arundel]

Weather report from mid America.
We are having great weather, all the birds have returned, we discovered the finches have already built a nest in the wreath on my front door, and the cats insist that some birds are setting up house keeping in a bush in front of my bedroom window. They spend a lot of time watching it. The flowers are starting to come up, which is great. But you can't trust the weather, it can frost up until May 15th. One spring it turned very warm and everything budded out, including my roses. Then the frost came and killed everything above ground, including the roses. But right at the present it is very nice, some days up to 60 degrees.

[YggsVinr]

Today is about -3 C, rather grey out and it was snowing earlier though its stopped now.

Its a little disappointing since a few days ago all signs pointed toward perfect spring weather. Just warm enough, the sun was shining, the smell of spring was in the air and all I wanted to do was go frolic outside:p Ah well, that's Canada for you. Never terribly decisive in its seasonal decisions:rolleyes:

[Hors]

Snowing. Very large flakes.

[Aemma]

Well I'm happier than a pig in sh...aving cream to report that it is a truly glorious day here in the nation's capital! High of 15C so far, nary a cloud in the sky, and Sunna's brightness and warmth are most welcome and refreshing! I've had all the doors and windows wide open...I can even hear my wind chimes out back playing me a soft melody. :) Tis truly Spring! And I am a very happy camper! :D

[The Lawspeaker]

Snowing. Very large flakes.

In April ??

"Thinks" it was very warm here today around 20C and somewhat cloudy.
Now it has cooled down a bit: it's a clouded night, 16C.

[Äike]

It was quite warm today. About 8C!

[Barreldriver]

Seems like Aemma finally kept her snow to her self lol! :D It's sunny spring weather, just got done replanting a tree, it was originally by our ramp to the back deck of the house, got too big so we transplanted it to the front. Nice perfect weather for the job. Cool, breezy, sunny weather. Though I do miss the rain we had a day ago. A solid week of rain :D until now.

[Äike]

It was snowing today, in my area. In the middle of April :eek:
I guess that anything can happen in Northern Europe, when talking about weather:rolleyes:

[Aemma]

Nice but windy. Supposed to be going up to 18C today. My garden is calling out to me...time for me to spend some time out of doors! :)

13C and cloudy. It seems that everywhere else in the UK is basking in 70C sunshine except us. :confused:

[Birka]

I was in Somerset and Meyersdale in South, central Pennsylvania, and it snowed off and on all day long. It was beautiful. As soon as a snow storm would blow over, the sun would be shining. Then snow again. Now its predicted to be 80 degrees this Saturday. You gotta love spring.
