How's The Weather By You?

Chilly. (Well, I feel ashamed complaining while some of you in the rest of the states are suffering miserable winter weather.) But just reporting on conditions here. Been so long since there was any measurable rain finally checked the gauge. 67/100 of an inch. Not even a drop in the bucket but at least is was a few drops. More predicted for the weekend. We shall see . . .
 

Having had 4 days of no rain, and even some sun; the rain is due back again tonight; with more gale-force winds, and no let up until at least Sunday. Oh joy.
 
Beautiful day today. Snow storm predicted for tomorrow. We have had snow storms for about the last 3 Wednesdays. As long as the weekends are nice, I'm happy.
 

Awful day. Severe flooding in the South West again...no trains, some power lost.
severe winds; just arrived here too.
gas explosion has destroyed two houses in Clacton, tube strike, I think I will stay in!

Repeat on Thursday, and Friday, will this ever end?

Batten down the hatches and ride it out, Vivjen.

Sleet, snow and freezing rain today..it just keeps getting better...

OH.. the Gangstas were bundled up in their coats and booties and enjoyed a good long romp in the snow yesterday. It takes me 20 minutes to get all their gear on, so only put the booties on for when they are going to be out for an extended playtime.

Took some pic of all the animals in the snow, will try to post some later. We had a lone doe come down last night in the pasture, sniffing toward the cracked corn and seeds we put out for the birds. Guess I'll try to get a bucket of corn up to the pasture for her before every thing turns into a skating rink. She'll probably be back tonight with friends.

Katy..hope you are enjoying that nice weather. If the heat get to be too much, and ,you get the urge to bundle up in winter clothes, come on over!

Glad you Californians got a bit of that liquid gold from the sky!

You are truly a dear animal lovin' lady. Taking 20 min to get the pups ready,taking food to the doe, spoiling your rooster and chicks gives me a smile.

HA! It was almost 75 the day I wrote about it, OG, and since then we've been freezing our buns off and the cold rain hasn't stopped for a second. Hate to complain as I know it's desperately needed elsewhere, but so not needed here and makes for such depressing days.
 
Yeah, Katy any animal that lands under my care is spoiled for sure. It gives me pleasure to see an animal safe and warm.

I really can't complain too much about the weather as I enjoy the four seasons, and that's one of the reasons we moved here..got so tired of heat for so many months in Texas. Each season has it's beauty. The only thing that scares me is the potential for flooding here in the spring. With a house sitting on a creek bank, it doesn't give you the warm fuzzies when it's about to crest the top of the bank.

Today was hovering around freezing, with a low of 11F tonight. The snow has frozen and is hard enough for the dog to walk on top of without breaking through. Didn't make it out to the pasture to feed the doe today, too freakin' cold and windy.
 
OH
We don't have any booties for Jetson maybe we should get some for him!

Mine wouldn't have them either, I just lucked into a great sale in the Drs Smith and Foster catalogue. I wasn't sure if they would wear them, and wish I had a video the first time I put them on. Squiggy was walking on his front legs with his rear nearly over his head, and Rooney was walking like a 5 gaited Saddlebred horse. They do stay on though and keep their feet dry in the snow. We won't talk about the ice balls all over the rest of their legs..:rolleyes:

Oh haahaa, too cute!
 
Was around minus 16 degrees F last night, -4 this morning and -2 degrees above for our chilly walk, they said the high today was -1. Saw some deer and a lone mouse, felt sorry for them in this bitter cold. Tonight between -10 to -20 degrees, slight wind today made it cooler. I have super warm parka, wore a corduroy shirt and hooded sweatshirt underneath that. Brrrrrrrrr..............

For sure you missed your calling as a vet, OG, and would have been an excellent one. Lots of people love animals, but you take it to a whole new loving level and is such a good thing. Some kids are treated as well as your animals!
 
The storm door has finally opened. They say the weekend will be a soaker. Measured 775/1000 this morning. So, 3/4 inch still along way from serious rain. We'll see what happens . . .
 
We often can get serious rain in Feb, Mar and Apr. ProAm golf at Pebble Beach happening right now and can remember years when it was played in very heavy rain.
 
Minor miracles do happen!

Today there is a strange yellow thing in a bright blue sky; there is a light breeze, not a howling gale; and I have pulled up some weeds, and found some snowdrops out, and daffodils in bud.

Hooray!
 
Good for you, Viv - enjoy it!

We have more snow forecast, I think for later today - it might scrub my student's lesson (again! :mad:).

Even Australia is starting to look good right about now ... :rolleyes:
