The Weather Report

[Oldfart]

Cyclone Yasi 250 miles off the coast.

The RADAR pic from Willis Island shows no wind, so it's broken the wind gauge.

[Oldfart]

The island RADAR is on the blink, for some reason.

[Lord Snow]

Stay safe both of you. DB, I hope you have a fireplace. I have the funny feeling you might need it by the time the night is through.

[dicksbro]

Still blowin' and snowin' this morning but I think we're gradually reaching the end. I think they're predicting another maybe 4" today but with the wind still blowing, there'll be a lot of drifting.

Guess I'll have to start digging out this morning. :(

OF, please keep us posted. We just want you and M. to be safe. Actually, we'd kind of like all of Australia to stay safe. :wish:

[Oldfart]

It looks like it'll go way south of us.

Fang's in the path of floodwaters maybe in a week.

They're equating this storm with Katrina.

[gekkogecko]

Ouch.

At least all the ice here melted. At least all that on paved areas. Now we jsut hae to wait for the ice-crusted tree limbs to fall accross all the power lines in the area.

[Oldfart]

The northern Queensland coast is shredded, but due to building codes and dumb luck there is no indication of deaths yet.

Hugely different to Katrina.

Anyone heard from Wanda lately?

[Fangtasia]

Ok, so who pissed off the natural disaster gods?? They sure seem to have Oz in their sights.

Looks so far that no one has lost their lives, so to me we made it through successfully, even if many houses and building copped a flogging!

[Oldfart]

It's the building codes Fang. Not replacing disaster buildings with equally fragile deathtraps.

[Lord Snow]

Cold.......with a windchill.

[AZRedHot]

I fucking protest the weather here. Woke up to no water; all the pipes in the neighborhood are frozen. Mr. AZRH went out with the hairdryer to discover the broken pipe. Ooooh...a rainbow! Ours is not the only geyser I saw today. 31 degrees on the way to a whopping 38.

IN ARIZONA.

Now, we're pretty lucky compared to most. The electricity is on and the furnace is running. The roads are clear and there's food and (now) drinking water in the fridge. But we desert rats are ill prepared for weather like this.

[Lord Snow]

So is Tennessee. Look at it this way....at least you have someone to keep you warm.

[AZRedHot]

It's a big bed, Lord Snow. There's room for you, too. ;)

[Lord Snow]

AZ, I don't share my toys well.....Only child SINdrome and all that. :D

[Oldfart]

I can see Mr AzRH meekly accepting exile from the sandpit.

[sodaklostsoul]

Its 21, school is back on after 2 days off. Some towns around us are still taking today off from school. We had a blizzard with I think I read a foot of snow. Its piled up everywhere.

[gekkogecko]

Warmer here today than it was yesterday...will go up to a high of 38F/3C. Possible icing tonight, rain tomorrow. Should finish melting the remaining snow/ice from a few days ago.

[dicksbro]

It reached the low twenties today but no snow. I've got myself a cold and so basically stayed inside except for a quick trip to the "dollar" store for some cold medicine.

I guess more snow is expected Sunday and Monday. Hopefully, now too much.

[sodaklostsoul]

Its 17 but wind is blowing again so its COLD!!!!! Partly sunny. :)

[Lord Snow]

It snowed last night. Watching everyone get stuck in the ditch was funny.

[Scarecrow]

Todays tempeture range was -4 to 17F. Have not seen freezing point in over a week. Saturday it is suppose to get to 35F

[jay-t]

Last nite we set all time record lows across the state form -31 in the north to -5 in the south.todays high was 14. 7 day forcast shows 75 next wed.

[Oldfart]

Isn't it early for the spring thaw?

[Lord Snow]

It's weather by Sybill. LOL.

[Oldfart]

Don't look at me, I even missed the groundhog burgers in Punxsutawney.

[gekkogecko]

Warm weekend coming up. Seasonal for this area is typuically 7-8 C (mid-40s F); supposed to get up to around 11 C (51-52 F).

Hey, if you dont' like the weather around here, wait five minutes. It will change.

[AZRedHot]

'Twas gorgeous out today. I spent too long in the yard and cooked my brain, and I think I even have a bit of sunburn. Ah, spring...I've been waiting for you!

[Lord Snow]

It's getting there for us here in Tennessee. This week is supposed to be mid to upper 50's during the day, then dropping back down to the freezing mark at night. Kind of sucks since I can ride in the 50's, but not the 30's.

[sodaklostsoul]

Instead of 11 or 14 we have 35 and sunny. :)

Gonna wash the car, hope it don't fall apart.

[sodaklostsoul]

43 and didn't get around to washing car.

[Oldfart]

My car is currently being washed, I just hope not away.

We have a weather system with 40mph+ winds and driving rain over us at the moment.

It's expected to drift out to sea, grow into a cyclone and perhaps come calling again.

24.4C, 95% humidity.

[Oldfart]

It's now a Cyclone, by name of Carlos.

Even before he was a cyclone, he did this.

[Oldfart]

and this

[Oldfart]

again.

[Lord Snow]

Impressive as only the forces of nature can be.

[sodaklostsoul]

Naughty Carlos, take care OF.

Its 43 partly sunny and melting.

[dicksbro]

How do we know that OF wasn't just leaning against his neighbor's tree and is trying to blame it on poor Carlos? :D

JK

Do take care, OF. Out temps are about the same Soda and the sun is shining bright here, too. :thumbs: The ol' snow is disappearing in a hurry. Couple more days of warmer temps might just do it in.

[Lord Snow]

It's finally hitting the 60's F during the day, so riding weather is almost here. I have to wash and wax the bike sometime soon, but I've already made sure she starts and everything else is in working order.

[pinkFlames]

Pouring down and windy today.

[PantyFanatic]

Yesterday we got to see all of the ground for the first time this month. Back down to freezing again but was a nice tease.

[motorhomemale]

Nice and warm here!

[Lord Snow]

It's chilled off a bit, but that's partly because of possible rain moving in. Should be back up into the 60's soon.

[gekkogecko]

Hm, last week it hit 70s F (~21 to 23 C) on several days: upcoming, the high Tuesday is supposed to be 36 F (~3 C). Yeah, it's DC, and it's late February.

[GusAspar]

Mild and drizzly in London today - but I hear they had heavy snow in the Peak District.

[sodaklostsoul]

23 suppose to snow/winter crap tomorrow/Monday. Fine, just get it out of the way for next Friday.

[dicksbro]

36F with light rain right now. Suppose to reach 57F today ... but with showers every now and then. Tomorrow, reality sets back in (although not too bad). They're predicting 39F for a high on Monday. :shrug:

[sodaklostsoul]

35 was clear one minute and pouring down sleet the next. :(

[sodaklostsoul]

That^^^^^ lasted like 30 minutes and then switched to snow. Lots of snow, big flakes and coming down hard. :(

We had a taste of spring and then back to winter. :(

[PantyFanatic]

Right now it's -11C (16F) which should keep the 1/4" of ice that's encapsulated EVERYTHING adhering like barbicels. The 2 days of above freezing we had last week was great until the rain started at the same time the temp came back to seasonable.

5059- The big issue with ice is it's weight on power lines and tree branches.

5065- A 1/2" crown of ice on the steps doesn't thrill the mailman.

5066- Rock salt sales have been great this year. LOL

[PantyFanatic]

5067- Driving on the ice isn't an issue until after you get into your car. :rofl:

5069- Don't keep the ice scraper in the trunk. ;)

5071- Remember to park close enough to an electric outlet that the hairdryer can reach.

[jay-t]

[QUOTE Rock salt sales have been great this year. LOL[/QUOTE]


making snow ice cream?

[Oldfart]

5071- Remember to park close enough to an electric outlet that the hairdryer can reach.

My nephew has a remote starter for his car. Would this let you thaw the car from the inside?

[Lord Snow]

Depends. A lot of times the block itself needs to be thawed before it can be started to prevent damage to the motor. In a situation where there is that much ice build up on the outside of the car, chances are you'd have to use the blow dryer on the engine before you can attempt to start it.

[Oldfart]

Do batteries freeze?

[Lord Snow]

Not sure on that. It's more than just the battery though. It's any exposed moving part. If your serpentine belt gets frozen and is not thawed you can crack or snap it. Either way you wouldn't be going anywhere.

[sodaklostsoul]

Do batteries freeze?
Yes they can under certain conditions. Wasn't my battery but someone I know.

Sun came out today and started drying out the roads again. Now just need that light snow on Friday to be very light.

[PantyFanatic]

My nephew has a remote starter for his car. Would this let you thaw the car from the inside?
Yes it would and I've thought about spending the $300 but cheap out for the 2 or 3 times ice becomes a real problem each year. Normally I do give it 10-15 minutes to heat everything and makes cleaning all the windows easy.............. when I can get in easily. LOL

Actually this was a different than normal snow. When the surface of everything is colder than the just barely liquid rain, that's when it freezes on contact and begins layering. Neither was this a SUPER COLD at all, so the engine starting, batteries, belts or oil reservoirs was not a problem for any normal winterized car.

[Oldfart]

We just passed our rain record with 2 months to go in this wet season.

2.5 metres (over 8 feet in the old money).

[Lilith]

I hope it rains here tomorrow like it is supposed to. My garden needs it.

[Oldfart]

I'll dehydrate some of ours and send it across if you really need it.

[dicksbro]

4:06AM and all is dark. :shrug:

[Lord Snow]

Right now it tends to be either warm and sunny or cold and wet. It doesn't even have the same fun as a pussy being warm and wet.

[pinkFlames]

It would be a nice day if the wind would stop.

[gekkogecko]

Rest of Today
Partly sunny. Warmer with highs in the lower 80s (28C/83F). South winds 15 to 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph.

Tonight
Mostly cloudy. Showers and thunderstorms...mainly after midnight. Lows in the upper 50s (14C/57F). Southwest winds 15 to 20 mph... becoming northwest 10 to 15 mph after midnight. Chance of rain 80 percent.

Tuesday
Showers likely. A slight chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. Cooler with highs around 15C/59F. North winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 70 percent.

[dicksbro]

Seems like we're getting one nice day followed quickly by several days of cold, rainy weather. :(

[Lord Snow]

Good enough to ride. That's all I'm worried about.

[Oldfart]

The dry season's arrived.

The dragonflies were right.

[Lilith]

It is going to be a beautiful day. Aqua and I will be heading to the beach.

[PantyFanatic]

The dry season's arrived.

The dragonflies were right.
Oh? :confused:
How is it the dragonflies predict what?

[Lord Snow]

Warm. Had a nice ride home from work, even though it wasn't that long.

[Lord Snow]

It's raining, it's pouring, I bet Oldfart was snoring...........LOL.

[Aqua]

It is going to be a beautiful day. Aqua and I will be heading to the beach.
Too bad that wasn't from today.

It's pouring rain here right now. *sigh*

[Oldfart]

Rain?

In Seattle?

Pictures at eleven!

[Scarecrow]

The rain is falling mainly on the plain, with flash flood warnings. We've had between 5 and 7 inches just this week and it is only tuesday. It is one of the wettest Aprils in history for us and April is a rainy month in these parts.

[Lord Snow]

Only 20% chance of rain for us today. I'm going to ride while I can.

[dicksbro]

Suppose to be mainly sunny today but with a high only near 59F. Possible shower this evening.

[Lord Snow]

It went from warm and sunny riding weather back to being 40 F in the morning. This sucks.

[gekkogecko]

Currently 13.7C/56.7F. Projected high of 19.4C/67F. "Normal" high temperature for this area/time of year, 22.2C/72F. Sunny, UV intensity 8 on a scale of 16, pollen 10.2 on a scale of 12 for maple, cedar/juniper & ash.

[dicksbro]

51F right now under cloudy skies. High today in the lower seventies with rain predicted this afternoon and evening. In fact, temps will be rising in the mid/upper 80s this week with rain expected on three of next five days. Poor rivers are full and we don't need any more rain for a while. Wish we could give some to west Texas. :(

[sodaklostsoul]

63 and a lot of fricken rain to add to the already flooding in some parts here. It hailed twice within minutes and there is a sea of snowballs floating around and piled outside the door. The thunder and lighting finally stopped, they were not kidding when they said stay away from the window. I was blind for a few seconds.

[Fangtasia]

OMG this Aussie is freezin'! Current temp 5.4C but feels like 1.5C and it only got a few degrees warmer all day! WTF??

[Oldfart]

Global warming.

(ducks for cover and giggles)

[Fangtasia]

Global warming my ass!

The friggin earths heater is broke!!

[dicksbro]

Right now it's 77F under clear skies, but there is a chance of T-storms today and tomorrow and Monday. Bah! Humbug!

Glad we haven't had the severe flooding that many places have but the rains are still getting to be a pain in the buttinski and hot, humid temps aren't any fun, either. :(

[jay-t]

18 days of100+ heat yesterday it was 110 today a cool 104. Next week calling for 102+ .Onthe upside I haven't had to mow since the last week of May

[PantyFanatic]

http://serve.mysmiley.net/sick/sick0004.gif (http://www.mysmiley.net) my friend.



I really liked Jay-t too. He was a great Pixie.

[PantyFanatic]

My remote thermometer says it's 90F outside and the TV says it's going to 94F (35C) today. I have to take their word for it. NO WAY IN HELL (literally http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-fc/sweat.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org)) will I leave this 76F room.:D

[jay-t]

lol

Just pretend you're back in Vegas.

We'll see if we can borrow Lil's mum to help with the illusion.

[dicksbro]

We've got just about the same temp and high humidity as PF ... but does that bother us?










You bet your sweet patooties it does. :(

[PantyFanatic]

Just pretend you're back in Vegas.

We'll see if we can borrow Lil's mum to help with the illusion.
Yes. Now I remember what made it so hot.:hot:

[Lord Snow]

94 with a heat index of 105. You gotta love the south.

[ShadowDancer]

Today, its supposed to be a high of 98 with a heat index between 105 & 110 here. HOT & HUMID! :(

[PantyFanatic]

Just forget about it. We're all dead. :faint:

[Lord Snow]

Murfreesboro, TN isn't much better SD. Especially when you work in a warehouse without AC.

[dicksbro]

74F under fair skies right now, but, it's only 4:30AM. :( High today is expected to be 89F under partly cloudy skies. Another warm one.

Much as I hate the humidity, if anyone has a stray rainshower laying around that you don't need ... you can send it our way. Things are starting to dry out (although the creeks, ponds and streams still have running water in them).

[Lord Snow]

You want rain, I want my snow back. Anyone know where I can get some of that wonderful white powder?

[Oldfart]

Columbia?

[Lord Snow]

I think that's the wrong white powder Of.

[Oldfart]

No, there's plenty of frozen water on the Andes mountains in Columbia.

Whatever could you have mistaken that for?

[jseal]

Lol!

[sodaklostsoul]

Hot And Humid!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dicksbro]

Yep. Same here Soda. :(

[Oldfart]

We must all be at the same party.

[dicksbro]

And the trend continues. :(

[sodaklostsoul]

And the trend continues. :(
Ditto.

[dicksbro]

:(

[gekkogecko]

Effin' hot. Actual ground temps nearing 40C (100+ F), next three days. Heat indicies in the 120's F.

[jay-t]

We've had 49days of 92+temps 29 of them at 100- 110 air temp heat index up to 117
7day outlook 102+

[Lord Snow]

We actually got some rain today........and I got caught out on the bike in it. That makes twice this week.

[dicksbro]

Tuesday we got some and again on Wednesday. Good, I was afraid our humidity would star to fall. :shrug:

[dicksbro]

Okay, here's the forecast ...

http://www.awkwardboners.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/weatherpackage_7002.jpg

That'd give ya' about a 75% chance of precip ... wouldn't ya' say?

[gekkogecko]

Still freakin hot.

[jay-t]

I got this in an E-mail thought you might enjoy. A new resident to Okla.

Dear Diary,



Just moved to Oklahoma now this is a state that knows how to live!! Beautiful sunny days and warm balmy evenings. It is beautiful. I've finally found my home. I love it here.

June 14th:
Really heating up. Got to 100 today. Not a problem. Live in an air-conditioned home, drive an air-conditioned car. What a pleasure to see the sun everyday like this. I'm turning into a sun worshiper.

June 30th:
Had the backyard landscaped with western plants today. Lots of cactus and rocks. What a breeze to maintain. No more mowing the lawn for me. Another scorcher today, but I love it here.

July 10th:
The temperature hasn't been below 100 all week. How do people get used to this kind of heat? At least, it's kind of windy though. But getting used to the heat is taking longer than I expected.

July 15th:
Fell asleep by the community pool. Got 3rd degree burns over 60% of my body. Missed 3 days of work. What a dumb thing to do. I learned my lesson though. Got to respect the ol' sun in a climate like this.

July 20th:
I missed Lomita (my cat) sneaking into the car when I left this morning. By the time I got to the hot car at noon, Lomita had died and swollen up to the size of a shopping bag, then popped like a water balloon. The car now smells like Kibbles and Shits. I learned my lesson though. No more pets in this heat. Good ol' Mr. Sun strikes again.

July 25th:
The wind sucks. It feels like a giant freaking blow dryer!! And it's hot as hell. The home air-conditioner is on the fritz and the AC repairman charged $200 just to drive by and tell me he needed to order parts.

July 30th:
Been sleeping outside on the patio for 3 nights now, $225,000 house and I can't even go inside. Lomita is the lucky one. Why did I ever come here?

Aug. 4th:
Its 115 degrees. Finally got the air-conditioner fixed today. It cost $500 and gets the temperature down to 85. I hate this stupid state.

Aug. 8th:
If another wise ass cracks, 'Hot enough for you today?' I'm going to strangle him. Damn heat. By the time I get to work, the radiator is boiling over, my clothes are soaking wet, and I smell like baked cat!!

Aug. 9th:
Tried to run some errands after work. Wore shorts, and when I sat on the seats in the car, I thought my ass was on fire. My skin melted to the seat. I lost 2 layers of flesh and all the hair on the back of my legs and ass . . . Now my car smells like burnt hair, fried ass, and baked cat.

Aug 10th:
The weather report might as well be a damn recording. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. It's been too hot to do shit for 2 damn months and the weatherman says it might really warm up next week. Doesn't it ever rain in this damn state? Water rationing will be next, so my $1700 worth of cactus will just dry up and blow over. Even the cactus can't live in this damn heat.

Aug. 14th:
Welcome to HELL! Temperature got to 115 today. Cactus are dead. Forgot to crack the window and blew the damn windshield out of the car. The installer came to fix it and guess what he asked me??? "Hot enough for you today?" My sister had to spend $1,500 to bail me out of jail. Freaking Oklahoma . What kind of a sick demented idiot would want to live here?? Will write later to let you know how the trial goes.

[Lord Snow]

Roflmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dicksbro]

Love it jay-t. Love it. :D

[jseal]

Raining cats and dogs!

[Lord Snow]

Don't try catch anything with your tongue. Might get wet dog instead of wet pussy. LOL

[GusAspar]

London's lovely and sunny today. :thumbs:

[dicksbro]

Same here :) ... but by tomorrow they're predicting a resumption of the hot weather I was hoping we were done with. :(

[Pita]

It's still freaking hot as blazes. I want fall to get here....NOW!!!

[Oldfart]

With all those fallen leaves, rain and cold?

Hang onto summer while you can.

[jay-t]

We set a new record today for most days 100+! 52days and they are calling for 100+ for the next week.wer've been under a burn ban since Feb. no outdoor cooking with charcoal. Propane only

Oldfart you can have whats left of our summer. please

[Oldfart]

I'm about to head into high 90s and 80-100% humidity for a few months.

Can't you store the heat somewhere for the forge?

[dicksbro]

Partly cloudy and 70F right now. Expected to get up to 91F today with a chance of scattered thunderstorms this afternoon. Guess I'd better get my walk in early.

[jay-t]

Hmmmm a solar forge.I'll have to play with that idea

[Oldfart]

A couple of of old sat dishes and some broken mirors.

[Lord Snow]

I may be wrong, but solar energy might not be able to be harnessed for a forge. You'd have to either make everything electric and use solar panels to convert it to usable energy, or find a really good way to concentrate the light into a focused beam hot enough to make the metal malleable. Then again, I'm also not a blacksmith or an engineer.

[Oldfart]

The French smelt ultrapure metals in a solar facility in the Pyrenees.

[Lord Snow]

Like I said, I'm not black smith or an engineer. Though it would be cool if Jay-t could arrange a solar power forge.

[jay-t]

Lord Snow did you ever fry a bug with a maginfying glass? the same principal can be used to heat steel on a little bigger scale.But you would be limited to small dia. material say up to a 1/2 inch.

[Oldfart]

If you can get around the tendency to shed heat as fast as you put it in, you might get up to pocket knife blade size.

[Lord Snow]

No I've never fried a bug with a magnifying glass. It would seem that while it is possible it's not practical. Unless you two wiser minds can convince me otherwise.

[Oldfart]

If you can do it on the big scale, why not?

[jay-t]

You could improve on this he is melting glass the focal point gets up to 3000 deg.,but you would only be able to heat about 3/4 sq. inch at a time.

Solar forge diagram and info


http://contest.techbriefs.com/machinery-and-equipment-2010/327

[Lord Snow]

Hmmmm....interesting. I'm still not completely convinced. However, I will concede this discussion and return quietly to my corner.

[jseal]

While the storm has moved past Baltimore, the wind remains a bit gusty.

[Oldfart]

Good to hear the main front's gone by.

[PantyFanatic]

Very VERY interesting, that solar forge. :D ......... and a very neat site. :thumb:

If Katrina didn't drastically change building codes, Irene's unlikely to break the cycle of destruction.

[PantyFanatic]

And if we let our politicians continue their bullshit instead of doing their jobs, we deserve it.:cool:

[jseal]

If Katrina didn't drastically change building codes, Irene's unlikely to break the cycle of destruction.
Interesting that you should mention Katrina; August 29 is the anniversary of its arrival at New Orleans.

[sodaklostsoul]

It rained this morning, was so dark at 9am that the street lights came on.

[PantyFanatic]

And a year BEFORE it happened the scientists told 300 gathered bureaucrats exactly what would happen.

You only need watch less than 3 minutes of this account. Start it at about 4 min into the video.

[jay-t]

Afer 61 days of 100+ heat todays high 85 right now its 65 and it feels almost cold woohoo!!

[Lord Snow]

We cooled off because of the rain last night, but that just means if it gets warm it's going to get steamy on top of it.

[GusAspar]

Warm and sunny again, after showers at lunchtime

[Oldfart]

23C to 33C, about 26C at the moment (74, 92, 79)

[gekkogecko]

Temperature
75.3 °F (24 C)
Feels Like 76 °F (24.4 C)

Today
81 °F (27.2 C)

Chance of T-storms
90% chance of precipitation

[ShadowDancer]

Other than raining steadily, its a *sweet* 67°F!

[sodaklostsoul]

Its 72 and suppose to hit 75 today. Beautiful day out. :)

[Lord Snow]

Abysmal.

[gekkogecko]

Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain. We need to ship some of this to Texas.

[dicksbro]

61F right now under cloudy skies. It's suppose to get up to 79F today with scattered showers and thunderstorms.

[sodaklostsoul]

Suppose to get the first frost tonight. My sis brought her plants in yesterday and is covering up her vegi's right now. We hit 59 today. :)

[dicksbro]

It's 41F right now, but expected to drop to 38F or 39F by 7AM ... then rise to 64F today. The average for today is 77F ... so it's going to be a bit cool.

[gekkogecko]

Wet. Mostly wet. Eitehr actual rain, or just a whole lotta humidity.

[jseal]

^^ Yep! ^^

[jay-t]

Monday it was 102,today its 55 for the high with misting rain

[Lilith]

^^^^ Bipolar Mother Nature

[sodaklostsoul]

^^^^ Bipolar Mother Nature
Thats a good one, never thought of it that way. :roflmao:

[Lord Snow]

It was nice and cool this afternoon. This morning was kind of crappy though.

[dicksbro]

62F right now. Chance of morning showers, then, a high of 76F today with partly cloudy skies. Sounds pretty good once the rains pass (although we needed some).

:)

[Lord Snow]

Raining.

[dicksbro]

Dark.







(Actually, it's on 3:30AM and I haven't looked out or at the Weather Channel yet.)

[Oldfart]

The sky is dark, but it was blue earlier.

[tizana]

it's sunny here :)

[dicksbro]

59F right now under fair skies. Suppose to reach 74F today with partly cloudy skies (and partly non-cloudy too. :) ).

[Coaster]

sunny.... 70's.... fantastic!

[Oldfart]

Unseasonal light rain. The monsoons don't start till about Xmas.

[tizana]

dark and a warm night :)

[sodaklostsoul]

A chilly 56, dang clouds.

[dicksbro]

50F under fair skies here at my daughter's house right now. Expecting it to get up to 72F later today under sunny skies. :thumbs:

[PantyFanatic]

We have the area's first frost warning. Hoping to see a nice long indian summer. :D

[dicksbro]

Dark ... with a 50% chance of light within 2 hours or so. :)


We had frost warnings too, PF. I sure hat to see it turning this cool already. I thought it could hold off until 2013 after the elections were all over with. :shrug:

[gekkogecko]

Suposed to snow 1-3" (2.5-7.6cm) tomorrow.

[dicksbro]

We did have a pretty good frost this morning with temperature dropping to right around freezing. Nice afternoon, though. Got up into the 50s and the winds were very light. Felt pretty good. Now, if we can just keep that until April.

[Oldfart]

We're getting heat storms with blustery winds about a month ahead of schedule.

The monsoons will hit us before the guy in the red suit, the Weather Bureau says.

Temps 70 to 90-ish.

[Lord Snow]

It started out cold and wet with good winds. Then it just became cold with the wind. Then the wind went away and we have a frost warning.

[sodaklostsoul]

We've been 30ish at night and in 50's during the day. Been nice longer then normal.

[VaBeast]

38 degrees F and steady rain. Possibility of some wet snow later in the day.

[Oldfart]

You're just saying that to scare me, VaBeast.

[VaBeast]

Nah, it isn't scary at all. Just a wee bit of wet snow and some ice crystals in the rain. Perfect December weather - in October.

[gekkogecko]

Had to scrape about 3/4" of mixed winder crud off my car to get to the wildlife conference today. Which was eventually cut short due to more mixed crud falling from the sky.

[Oldfart]

Nah, it isn't scary at all. Just a wee bit of wet snow and some ice crystals in the rain. Perfect December weather - in October.

There is nothing natural about the temp falling below 70F.

[dicksbro]

44F under fair skies right now (4:30AM). Today should reach 59F with some showers possible.

[PantyFanatic]

41f (6c) @ 02:25
41n - 81w

[dicksbro]

49F at 4:45AM. Expected to be windy with a high of 64F under partly cloudy skies.

Did I say 64F ... and this is November.

[jseal]

Foggy!

[dicksbro]

Sunny but cold today ... :(

33F right now and only climbing up to 42F today with a pretty good breeze (25-30mph) making sure you feel worse than the temperatures would suggest. :(

I'm ready for spring.

[PantyFanatic]

We are getting our first snow fall for the season. Not much and it won't last but winter IS here.

[dicksbro]

No snow was reported here yesterday, but when I was out I did see just a very, very few flakes in the air .... er ..... snowflakes. :)

[Oldfart]

Nope, no snow here yet.

[jseal]

A mite brisk here this morning.

[gekkogecko]

Kinda dreary, half-chilly, half-warmish, the kind of November weather where you can't decide how many & what kind of layers to wear. Overcast, 90% chance of rain for the rest of today, currently 43.9F/21.4C, looks to be the high temperature for the day.

[jseal]

Sunny. Low fifties.

[Lord Snow]

Right now........crappy. Probably continued crappy into this evening.

[Oldfart]

We have a Cyclone (aka Hurricane) in the area, and they are predicting that it'll came calling to my place.

[Lord Snow]

Well, you're weather is certainly crappier than mine OF. Try to stay afloat.

[jseal]

We have a Cyclone (aka Hurricane) in the area, and they are predicting that it'll came calling to my place.
Didn't you have a problem with one back in 1974?

[Oldfart]

Nah, it blew in, destroyed the town and killed a few hundred people, then blew away.

No trouble.

Google Cyclone Tracy.

[dicksbro]

25F under fair skies right now. It's expected to be sunny but cool today with a high of 35F. Not bad if the sun is shining.

[Lord Snow]

We're currently at 38F with a partly cloudy sky and still soggy yards from yesterday.

[Oldfart]

It's nice and warm here, about 30C/92F at the moment.

[Lord Snow]

To warm for my taste.

[Oldfart]

But it's Christmas.

[dicksbro]

It's cool, but, for Illinois in December ... it's not bad at all. Clear and dry.

[Lord Snow]

But it's Christmas.

Keep in mind I'm a little higher on the latitudes than you. I'm used to having a white snowy Christmas.

[Oldfart]

Keep in mind I'm a little higher on the latitudes than you. I'm used to having a white snowy Christmas.

We get it cold here too, LS. It drops to 25C sometimes.

[Lilith]

It is 61 here at 11 pm.

[Oldfart]

The cyclone has passed us by.

Time for boring rain again.

[Lord Snow]

OF, you call the upper 70'sF cold? Last night it dropped to less than 32F/0C.

[Oldfart]

Yep.

[gekkogecko]

Slightly warmer than seasonal (projected high 47F/8C, whereas "normal" is around 43F/6C); dry today, but rain on the way for tomorrow.

[Coaster]

Bundle up! It's 16 degrees F here with blizzard conditions. We've gotten about 14" of snow here so far since yesterday morning!

And so it continues.........

[Oldfart]

Sounds like fun. Treacherous roads and questionable services.

[gekkogecko]

Windy and rather chilly (29F, -1.5C) here right now, but we wern't supposed to, and did not get hit with the nasty snow.

[WildIrish]

31" of snow, with drifts even higher. I feel like I'm on the set of Dr. Zhivago.

[dicksbro]

14F right now under clear skies with a high today expected to be sunny and reach 36F. I hope it remembers how to add a few more degrees in a week when spring gets here.

[sodaklostsoul]

Been in the 50's last few days, now a few days of 40's and then back to 50's. YAY Spring!!!

[Anglosaxon]

Spring meant to be here, looking out the window as snow falls.

[Oldfart]

31" of snow, with drifts even higher. I feel like I'm on the set of Dr. Zhivago.

Now I have that bloody song in my head. Earworms, they call them.

Somewhere my love . . . . . .

[dicksbro]

43F is the current temperature with a high of 58F expected today. 58F is basically the historic average high for the day. Maybe spring will arrive. :)

[gekkogecko]

32.5F/0C as of the time now. Supposedly, today is going to be warmer overall than yesterday.

It is truly the time of year when we can say, "Go home weather; you're drunk."

[dicksbro]

55F right now with rain in the area. Rain expected in the morning hours with the high today reaching 69F.

[gekkogecko]

52.3F/11.3C right now, high of 64F/17.8C. Rain, rain, rain.

[Lilith]

Gorgeous here

[dicksbro]

60F right now with light rain. High today expected to reach 72F with thunderstorms during the day.

[gekkogecko]

Pretty much the same as yesterday, just waiting for the rain to re-start.

[dicksbro]

High today of 80F with a low tonight of 57F. 60% chance of showers today. Naturally ... I just got the car washed. :(

[gekkogecko]

More rain, more rain, and mroe rain.

[dicksbro]

44F under cloudy skies. Cool day today with the high only reaching 56F. Tonight, the low is expected to drop to 40F. Rather chilly. Not a record for this date, but getting close. :(





Not sure where the "10:16PM Today" time came from for this post since it's only 12:34AM in the morning. Oh well ... :shrug:

[Oldfart]

Gorgeous here

Yes, but how about the weather?

[gekkogecko]

High of 55F/12.8C today, more rain, more rain.

At least I was finally able to get the lawn mowed, despite the rain.

[Lord Snow]

All kinds of rain here.

[jay-t]

58 deg cloudy light winds

[dicksbro]

11:12PM on Tuesday 5/17/2016..

51F right now with clear skies. The low tonight reaching 46F warming up to 64F and sunny skies Wednesday. Not too bad ... just a tad bit cool.

[dicksbro]

49F under mostly clear skies. It's 2:20AM right now. As we get into today, the high is expected to be 69F with a low tonight of 49F. Doesn't look like much chance of rain until at least next Tuesday. Not too bad.

[dicksbro]

54F under partly cloudy skies right now. Expected to reach 65F today with cloudy skies prevailing and then drop to 52F.

[gekkogecko]

Currently 69F/20.6C; projected high of 76F/24C. Sunny today. Tomorrow, forecast high of 57F/14C. And rain all day. And of course, tomorrow is the outdoor book festival.

[dicksbro]

58F right now under clear skies. Expected to rise to 82F this afternoon under partly sunny skies.

[dicksbro]

Right now it's 61F under mostly clear skies. It's suppose to get up to 80F today ... under mostly cloudy skies. Yesterday they had a 20% chance of rain for today but that doesn't show right now. :shrug:

[gekkogecko]

Ha, finally! Forecast high of 80F/27C, and no rain predicted.

[dicksbro]

Well, we reached the 80F mark but had sunny skies and no rain. :shrug:

[dicksbro]

Right now it's 69F under mostly clear skies. Thunderstorms are expected today and into tonight. High today will be 77F. We're in need of a bit of rain so that's not a bad forecast if it doesn't get carried away. :)

[PantyFanatic]

If you enjoy change, come to Cleveland. Two weeks ago we actually had snow with high temps in the 30's (F).

This week there has been temps in the 90's (F). :faint:


:shrug:

[Oldfart]

It's democracy PF. A little bit for everybody.

[dicksbro]

Right ... just like it's 62F now under clear skies while later today it'll get to 83F under partly sunny skies. Can you imagine that?

Oh wait ... that's not so very unusual.

Nevermind. :(

[dicksbro]

67F under partly cloudy skies right now with the high today expected to reach 83F under mostly cloudy skies. Not too shabby.
