You think low 60s is freezing cold? That's a heat wave here....

Liar!



It's 65° and very gray, very cloudy skies. Still wearing short pants, though. But, I put on a hoodie.

Here is picture of a rock wall on my road. It looks more like a cave formation from Mammoth Cave.

 

[GoldenBlade]

11° this morning, but Saturday is supposed to reach 63°. Crazy weather...

 

[kikie]

Same weather as previous days. Sun, clouds, no ice age yet, a lot of wind.

 

[Team THRT Drift]

Well.... I got tricked again.

-18°C feels like -31°C with the windshield..... later this week it will be -4°C and 8°C. That's when you see Canadians out in tank tops.

 

[kikie]

A lot of wind. Overcast but no rain, yet.

 

[Dean]

Rain and 6°C here. We're supposedly going to get snow and temperatures below 0°C by the end of the week.

 

[kikie]

Afternoon = a lot of rain.

It's been unseasonably dry and warm in Redding this year. With summers as hot as 117 in some places, it never gets very snowy here, but we get a fair amount of rain.

In Mid-December it snowed about 4-6 inches and was as cold as 20, which is unheard of here.

Since then? Not. A. Drop. Ski resort is barren up north, it gets up to about 70 (even 80 the other day), the lake is low...

I will gladly trade places with someone in the poor weather. Winter without rain (or low temps) is silly and I hate it. Watch the news, we'll have another bad fire year...

This is the view from my office this morning.

 

[kikie]

Rain is gone, no clouds at the moment and lot of sun at this moment, eventhough it is still early in the morning.

 

[Rage Racer]

+2°С and almost no snow. What's been is melt down already.
Perhaps only Russians can miss the weather that Americans are getting mad of...

Same here in Finland >

Today its little colder tho -3 celsius.

 

[Dean]

Rain at the moment, with 6°C here.

 

[Crash]

It's been raining hard with brief intermissions from rain the whole day. It's also been really windy with 30+mph gusts, and last night wind's storm blew down a bunch of trees onto power lines.

While this is happening outside my window, it's interesting also watching this on the TV on the Seahaws-Saints game.

 

[TB]

I was out shoveling the driveway yesterday in jeans and a t-shirt, skipped the jacket. It was 28F, felt like a billion.

 

[kikie]

-3°C. Noooo, it's cold outside. But on the bright side, the sun is shining and there are no clouds.

The USA'ers are probably going to react by saying that -3°C is not cold at all.

 

[TB]

@kikie

1) It's not.

2) You're colder than I am. (for now)

 

[kikie]

So it's not -50°C anymore?


I never watch the news. Last week I saw the news because my father was watching it and I had to watch it too.

 

[Dean]

Right now we're at 1°C. Tonight should go down around -3°C, as well. Quite alright for me, and better than -50°C.

 

[TB]

So it's not -50°C anymore?

For now, no. Right now it's 40F/4C, feels like 34F. Another no jacket day.

Danish and Belgian weather seems to be on par.

34F is definitely not 'no jacket weather' in my book.
But coming from Europa's temperatures to normal winter temperatures must feel like it's summer.

You're quite right - coming from what we had to now is an increase of, counting windchill, approximately 80°F. Hence no coat.

 

[kikie]

Back to positive temperatures. Still wearing a jacket or coat though.

Slightly overcast.

This is the first winter in my life I haven't seen or touched snow, so far.

 

[Dean]

Danish and Belgian weather seems to be on par.

There's not so far either.

And, we've officially gotten snow now, along with frost during the day (-1°C currently). The thing is, it's such a small amount of snow, it can't be seen.

Edit: Landscape is now covered quite a bit in white... Looks like I spoke too soon.

 

[Solid Lifters]

It was only in the low 60's yesterday, but temps are going to increase. Mid 80's possible in the next few days.

 

[yabiggoose]

This weather here is f---ed

 

[Solid Lifters]

80° and super clear, bright blue skies. No clouds, no haze. Just perfect.

 

[kikie]

Drizzle, a littel bit of wind. Overcast to the extreme but no freezing temperatures so far.

 

[axletramp]

It's either bright blue skies or rain here. Too much rain. But the temps are still just in double figures (10-11°c / 50-52°f), so I'm not complaining too much. In fact, this has been the mildest winter since 2008/2009, probably wettest, but mildest anyway. To put things into perspective, I have oil fired central heating which we order in 900 litre batches. in October 2012 I ordered a batch and had to order a refill just before Christmas when we had the first heavy (for us) snowfall. Last year I ordered a batch in September and it's still going strong. In fact, I won't have to reorder until February. So far that's a full 900 litres less than last year!
