After one of the longest dry spells in years, we finally got well over an inch of rain today. Luckily, the temps were warm enough so that it was all rain....had we still been in our hard freeze of the last couple of weeks, we would have had a 12 inch snowfall. This has been a strange Winter, so far...and we still have 2 or 3 months to go.
 
This is unbelievable to my mind.
How can a place that supports alligators also have ponds that freeze over in Winter?

Alligators have been filmed in North Carolina trying to stay alive in a frozen pond by sticking their snouts through a sheet of ice.
Footage taken by an NBC affiliate station showed a handful of the reptiles at the Shallotte River Swamp Park in Ocean Isle Beach breathing through gaps they created using their snouts in a pond that has been frozen by the brutal cold spell ravaging the United States.

The past 2 days it has felt like spring around here in WNY,most of the snow has melted,high today was 60.It was nice not having to wear boots for a day.
Alas,tomorrow its going to turn nasty,rain change to sleeting rain/ice then snow.The temps will plummet rapidly,highs for the weekend in the teens. You'd think with all the weather technology the local stations have,continue to promote how accurate 'dopplar radar' is,they still can't figure out how much snow we'll get. Its ANNOYING!!! Sue
 
Yesterday was great....temps reached 60 degrees. This morning, it was still 52 when I woke up. THEN...about 1PM, the wind kicked up out of the North, and the temp has dropped a bunch in the past couple of hours. It looks like we're in for another Arctic blast, with sleet coming down right now. We may not get above freezing until this time next week. I just looked again...we're at 20 degrees...a 40 degree drop from this time yesterday. If this continues, we may just shut the place up and take a trip to Las Vegas.
 
It really is!
And it always seems like Binghamton, Utica and Syracuse all give different forecasts (I know they're covering different areas) but none of them are right,l.o.l.
 
Yesterday it was unseasonable warm day,early high was 60.In the afternoon,temps start to plummet as a wintry cold front came thru WNY,by 6pm it was in 20's
When I took my early walk{6:30}was all bundled up again,temp was 12,we have 5 inches of snow,wasn't bad,tomorrow same temps. My hope for rest of day,residents have shoveled their sidewalks. My knees get a workout when they aren't Sue
 
In my corner of eastern Canada it is mild but with heavy rain and very strong winds.
After the weekend temps are forecast to drop again.
I'm hoping the power stays on because it is dangerous for power workers trying to get power restored with strong winds.
 
We had about 3" if snow yesterday, and this morning, the temperature was 5 below zero. This cold burst should be short lived, and by Friday, we should be in the 50's. This past month has seen some bitterly cold temperatures, but no major snowfalls. Compared to Southern California, and the Northeast, we have been lucky. This current Arctic blast is due to hit the NE with another round of nasty weather as it moves across the country.
 
It's 5º colder this morning than it was yesterday morning but the wind has calmed so the windchill is not near as bad.

4º actual........-3º windchill.
 
37 F this morn
gonna top out at 50

this....is...nuts

last year this time we had 4' snow
