The Weather Thread

6°C, overcast, no more sunny weather. It's going to be around 10°C in a few days.

 

[gnomefromnome]

Continued single digit weather, current temp 7°F.

Within 30 days we have had 80" of snow.

What it looks like right now:

 

[Cowboy]

This has probably been the warmest winter I have experienced in my 16 years. Have not had many days below zero and have only about an inch of snow on the ground. The northeast keeps taking our snow.

 

[CinnamonOD]

Warmest winter ever..

Temperatures are reaching 27-ish celsius, with minimum temperatures of 14, when it normally is between -1 and 14°C

 

[Solid Lifters]

Very warm yesterday and later today. In the low 80's. Going to get hotter as the week continues. Could reach low 90's by Friday or Saturday. SoCal in the Winter.

 

[FoolKiller]

Tomorrow looks like it will be fun. This starts around 6AM and goes through the work day. I prefer big snow that happens before I need to go to work.

 

[TB]

Going from 86 and sunny on Saturday to a windchill of -20 tonight is a bit of a shock to the system.

@FoolKiller - if you end up with 10" of snow, I think you'd have more than Fargo has had all winter, never mind what you've already had.

 

[Slash]

-10 with a -35 windchill right now.

No. Thank. You.

@FoolKiller - if you end up with 10" of snow, I think you'd have more than Fargo has had all winter, never mind what you've already had.

Well, as expected it is getting a slow start, but the inch or two we have right now was preceded by a layer of ice. Temperatures are in the teens, so the snow is very light and powdery and blowing around in the wind. Road crews at this point are basically just working to prevent drifting and build up.

This was my view on the way in this morning.

And this is how busy my office is.

It's a cubicle maze and I was the one to turn the lights on because I was the only one here.


Last night my wife realized we were out of garbage bags and ran to the grocery to get some. Nothing else, just garbage bags. She said the bread, milk, eggs, and toilet paper aisles were empty.

I understand the toilet paper. If you get stuck and get a case of the squirts, you want that on hand. Milk, bread and eggs though? Unless you intend to live on French toast your options are really limited. The peanut butter is still well stocked. Eggs means that you expect to cook, so why not some meats to go with the bread or for dinner? What about cereal for the milk? It's just such an odd combination that doesn't even have a survivalist focus.

Are we so ingrained in habit that the three things that we could almost always have back when everyone was farming are the only things that we can think to grab today?

We've now had 90"+ of snow this winter season in Massachusetts. Two lane roads in Boston are now one way roads because the snow banks are on the roads now. A lot of buildings' roofs are collapsing. We're supposed to get more snow this week too.

 

[wvmgmidget]

My current weather.

 

[Slash]

South of me hit -30 today, not including the windchill. With windchill was -37.

 

[GT_Saint]

Been raining all day, tonight it's gonna be below freezing... I'm expecting my bus to crash tomorrow morning...

 

[playnthru]

I'm freezing with this 63F weather we're having. Any colder I have to buy pants (oh noes).

 

[GT_Saint]

I'm freezing with this 63F weather we're having. Any colder I have to buy pants (oh noes).

And I thought we had warm weather (in Georgia)...

 

[FoolKiller]

The total in my back yard at last check was 9 inches.

My dog hates it.



I left work a little early because they were beginning to close roads. Couldn't get in my driveway due to the plow truck drifts and had to park in a neighborhood near our property and walk. I slipped in my work shoes and now my back and elbow hurt.

Tomorrow's forecast looks like this.

To go to work tomorrow will mean blatantly ignoring medical advice by walking in a -5 windchill, and could possibly create issues for staying on the transplant list.

And then, there is this travel restriction. They can't guarantee passable roads and under those conditions a stranded driver is low priority.

So, combine having to walk and a risk of getting stuck, or worse, in temperatures that could be deadly for me and I am not going to work tomorrow.

 

[TB]

I am not going to work tomorrow.

Good call.

 

[Panoz]

Had to walk the rest of the way with the car getting stuck. Managed to get across the bridge (a creek runs between the car and the house in the photo) before it started spinning.

Judging from @FoolKiller's photos, I'm in the same boat.

 

[Spacegoat]

Mid thirties here today and the same for tomorrow and Thursday. Friday and the weekend are looking real nice though.

 

[ScottPuss20]

It was only 21 today... Kinda funny considering how Melbourne summer's are known for their extreme heat!

 

[Kitten]

So last night it was a stupid 30 below, might of been even lower.. this is.. *cringe*

 

[gnomefromnome]

Went from single digits to 30°F, with a slight dusting of snow last night. Looks like this'll continue through the rest of this week.

EDIT: now we have a Winter Storm warning in effect through tomorrow evening.

 

[FoolKiller]

Finally got the driveway cleared and got my car home. The piles of snow are crazy.

More snow tonight and tomorrow. -10 lows on Thursday. Possibly ice this weekend.

Awesome times.

 

[Lizard]

Supposed to be 11c here today. Sorry Americans.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

More snow tonight and tomorrow. -10 lows on Thursday. Possibly ice this weekend.

Awesome times.

I've had to deal with those temps without the snow and its miserable. I kind of want a bunch of snow because it would cause the college to cancel classes, but it would be a massive train wreck that I honestly don't want to deal with. Ice really is a given at those temps.

 

[Legro]

The piles of snow are crazy.

If the pile hasn't melted completely when it's June, you can say the size of the pile is crazy.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

There's so much snow here that this somehow happened:

 

[FoolKiller]

Well, there was two new inches of snow this morning with a few more inches expected. Tonight and tomorrow night we are going to expect temperatures to get below zero (That's Fahrenheit) with wind chills below -20. My wife is taking my daughter and going to her parents' house tonight, probably tomorrow, in fear that the power will go out. The power company has warned that it is a possibility. I will stay home to guard the property from the frost giants of Jotunheim keep an eye out for any frozen pipes or whatever. Also, my in-laws hate pets and we have a dog, fish, and cat.

 

[gnomefromnome]

Yes, we're having weather today. Enough to cancel flights, going to be a little busy at work...
