How's The Weather By You?

Just a wee bit cooler tonight with the thermometer dropping down to a balmy -29c .....
tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and up to -19c ......

SEASONAL !!!!
 

<sigh> glad I copied this post, since V-bulletin decided to boot me clear out and I had to log back in:(

Thought I'd share these weather pics from Tuesday, January 29th --- that would be the snow day, immediately following the Monday we hit 70 degrees. When Mr. TWHRider had me come to the window to see the red NW sky, I commented "this can't be good" and took the picture. I had no idea what would happen 45 minutes later; I tried to take the snow pic from the same spot. I got close but no cigar:)

Nothing unusual about a "red sky in the morning", except this is a NW sky, NOT a NE sky. I don't ever remember seeing a morning red sky in the northwest direction.

45 minutes later, this happened. The soap suds snow dumped in the blink of an eye, then just as fast changed to the fluffies. An inch of snow covered the ground in less than ten minutes and was gone in an hour. That was it for the day's weather events, unless cold and damp counts:(

That is a bit chilly for me, but I know your happy to have the cool in your neck of the woods. I always get confused with the temperature conversions, sometimes have to use a site like this. :eek: http://www.csgnetwork.com/tempconvjava.html
 
We just finished a snow fall of about 30 cms which is 12 inches..
GREAT !!!

Now those of you that are along the coast of US such as New York, Boston area, WATCH OUT as the storm is headed your way..

I hope you have a BIG snow shovel handy...
 
Hope the folks on the eastern seaboard are hunkered down. The Weather Channel thinks this N'oreaster may rival the big one of 1978.

I well remember that one. We lived in NE Ohio at the time and our road had to get dug out by the National Guard.

We had a backhoe, with a front loader on it. Many's the time I plowed our drive with it, but we couldn't even get the backhoe out after that storm passed. My son was only five, and because there was a toddler living on our road, we were one of the first side roads (well back/dirt road) to be plowed. Gosh it was so bad, we couldn't even get the snowmobile out of the garage to go to the store.

Hope everyone affected, stays put and stays safe.

We have rain this AM but that will be clearing out before noon. Cooler than yesterday by about 15 degrees - lol lol I'm getting used to these temperature swings, I don't even care anymore - lol lol
 
OK.......
The storm is all over and the cold has gone for now..
Our lakes have a lovely layer of thick ice on them making them rather safe..

However, we can still use more snow which I know we will be getting soon..
Generally the end of February and March are heavy snow months..
 
Cooler today and rain expected, but spring is coming.

We went for a walk yesterday and saw sassafras trees starting to leaf out, Linten roses and daffodils are getting ready to bloom.
 
30 degrees and flurries outside, but don't look like we'll get too much accumulation at all here, more expected in the mountains of Colorado.
 
What a beautiful day we had today.... really...
It was -10c and very sunny.. Not a cloud in the sky and no breeze at all..
Truly a picture perfect day to go for a walk.. Why spend such a lovely day indoors...

hope there are more to come as I can go cross country skiing....

-22c tonight which is seasonal..
 
Another overcast day for Vegas, we Desert Rats will be begging for sunshine before the day is over. Hopefully our spring is not too far away. First weekend without NFL, damn, what will we do? Hopefully find a good movie or two.
 
Just remember, pch, NFL stands for Not For Long. And soon the sun will be back. Here in Central Kalifornistan the skies are blue and the sun shines bright. We need more rain - haven't had a good one in too long.
 
It's pouring rain, right now. We're not in the target area for tornadoes but we are for severe thunderstorms.

We had a big strike of lightening and my Alpha horse took everyone up to the barn. He had them gathered but grazing down in the bowl. He generally lets everyone go off to themselves if they want. He has different ways of gathering the other three that tells me what the weather might do next. They weren't herded up with butts against the wind, but close together in case he needed to give them a direct order to take action. He may be 25 years old but when he gives a direct order, everyone had better listen if they don't want teeth marks on them - lollol

That would be my heart horse in my avatar -- no doubt the most handsome and intelligent horse east of the Mississippi -- just ask me and I'll tell you - lollol He received his registered name when he was just a baby, which is "Bonafide Genious":love_heart:
 
Well, we're in for it tonight and into tomorrow here in northern Arkansas. Sleet, snow and freezing rain in the forecast. Just called to get the propane tank topped off in case we need our back up heater. Off to check on the batteries and draw some water in case we lose power. The next big purchase on my list is a back up generator.

Thank goodness there is nothing left on the agenda for the rest of the week, except for the vet visit this afternoon.

Are you supposed to get any of this weather up your way, rkunsaw?

I didn't read this thread until day's end:( He didn't say a word, just went about the business of trying to graze the pasture down - lol lol Tomorrow's could be another story.

Thursday is supposed to be our big weather day but, allegedly "nothing serious". "Nothing Serious" was what our local weather folks said when the 13 tornadoes came thru Middle Tennessee in one fell swoop, a few weeks back.

Hope everyone stays safe as it looks like this storm, named "Q" by the Weather Channel, is going to affect every part of the U.S. in some way. The Weather Channel showed pics of snow in the San Diego area! When did that ever happen?

Seabreeze, hope you have a bunch of supples in.

pchinvegas, hope you had a great day off and tomorrow's weather isn't too ugly.

Ozarkgal, get the generator ready, just in case:(

To all the guys: stay safe --- we need somebody to pick on:playful:
 
Been windy and snowing for a few hours now, but not too hard, still around 30 degrees out. They predict 3-6 inches by tomorrow...we need the moisture, so I'm happy, the more the better. :woohoo:

Yep, we got a good mixture. Rain, sleet and snow.It melted away at first then started snowing heavier and sticking. We got an inch or so on the ground. "sposed to be up to an inch of ice on the ground this morning.
We need to get a generator too. I had to rent one when the tornado came through a couple of years ago.
