How's The Weather By You?

We're sitting on 39.3c (102.74F) at the moment.....
Going for 41c (105.8F) but we know from experience it will be higher....
The worst of it is we also have the hot, gusty, northerly wind, really bad weather for fires....
:danger:
Tomorrow we get a reprieve, 25c....thank goodness, but only for a couple of days.:)
 

Very strange thing tonight ... I finished teaching my student at 5:30pm, a time when it is totally dark outside during the winter months.

Now, I know the winter equinox was December 21st and the days are slowly growing longer, but this was different - just 3 days ago it was still pitch black outside at 5:30, and all of a sudden today I'm looking at a spectacular sunset with plenty of light at the same time.

I know sunset times change, but not THAT fast!

I noticed a few days ago that Buckaroo and the Harem are staying out later. They're usually in bed by 4pm and the last two nights it been 5:30 with me coaxing them in because I want to button up for the night.

It could be because of some extra daylight, but maybe the thrill of sleeping with the Harem has just worn off.:playful:

Yeah, that might be my problem as well. :rolleyes:

Normally I take my cue from animals, but Tigger and SnagglePuss pretty much sleep all day regardless of light, dark or nuclear explosion.
 
Yesterday was so warm, shorts weather, this afternoon they say we'll be having 1" of snow. I haven't seen snow in our area in years, but can guarantee, like everywhere else, there isn't a jug of milk or a loaf of bread left on the groc shelves within a 25 mile radious. Bear in mind, it will be gone tomorrow, but people here go bonkers at the mere mention of the word. LOL
 
Hi everyone, It was 40° at 6:am, now at 11:30am it is 30°, and they are expecting it to get to 24° and below through the night. Schools, all government building, and most businesses are closed shut DOWN. We Houstonians are either freaked out by this unusually cool weather, or we're out playing in it. In our cabin, we just stack on some more wood, open the window shades so we see snow if we're lucky enough to get some. Crazy Huh?:playful:
 
The weather outside is frightful! The weatherliars predicted sNOw south of the city and said if we got any north of the city, it would only be a trace. Schools south of the city closed. The schools north of the city no sooner started than the sNOw did, too, so they all closed early. Temp here is only 25F, which is what it was at 6 this morning. At least it's sNOw and not freezing rain or ice.
 
Started to sleet last night around 6 pm turned to mostly snow. This morning it looks beautiful, just enough to blanket everything about 2". It is already starting to melt. However, there is a layer of black ice on all the roads. It was suppose to start earlier so they closed schools and a lot of businesses.

Atlanta is a different story. They were told it was going to mostly go south of them, so they didn't pretreat the roads. They started to try to start treating and plowing the roads at the same time they sent everybody home. Results, there are too many cars on the roads, so they where unable to.:doh: Many people have been stuck out there all night. I do hope everyone finally gets home safely.
 
The "interesting" low in the Coral Sea is turning out to be a fizzer (for now) ....

We stayed at a caravan park at Innisfail a few years ago, just after the cabins were replaced after Cyclone Larry. I'd be nervous if I were there .....
 
It was a three dog morning...let the Gangstas out at 7:30 and it was 9 degrees. As soon as their fuzzy butts came back in the all ran and jumped in our bed. I grabbed a cup of coffee on the way through and joined them. Buckaroo and the Harem and cats are waiting a while for me this morning!

Like TWH we are expecting a bit of a warm up starting tomorrow.
 
ATL looks a scene from The Walking Dead! Cars are littering the interstates...abandoned or wrecked...some people are walking along I-75 ...one man on Facebook said he just gave up after 14 hrs in his car and walked 11 miles home! I'm glad to be in a warm house an hour away!

It's a horrible situation...a baby was born in one of the cars.
 
I am in northern Alabama, so (again, thankfully) missed the worst of everything here in the South. We had a dusting of snow early in the day yesterday, which has now melted off, although it was only 4 this morning. Maybe it just blew off of the car, but it seems to be gone. Further south, we had the same situation as Georgia had, and a friend from Birmingham spent all day, and most of the night stranded on the freeway with her 2 year old granddaughter, until she was finally picked up by a rescue vehicle, and now expects to be in a motel for at least another day before she can retrieve her vehicle and finally, get home again.
I can't even begin to say how thankful I am to be back here, safe and warm, in my daughters house in Huntsville, and not still freezing out in the little trailer we were living in.
