How weird is the weather near you? Here in Chicago we had a high of 63 degrees yesterday and

[mucifer]

tomorrow we will have a high of 15 degrees.

This crap is getting scary!

1. from my window in Chattanooga

I am on top of a hill and can straight through the pass between lookout mt. and signal mt. that goes toward georgia and alabama. A storm started rolling through and it went from light to dark in seconds, you could feel the pressure dropping.





oops, there's a mountain missing:

17. Wouldn't you want to signal from where you had the lookout?

Or am I missing the point here?

[d_r]

18. well now that you mention it that makes sense

2. PHX has gone crazy!

Two weeks ago we were at 15 degrees for 3 nights at our house. Coldest since 1987. Then five days later it was 82. Hottest temp in Jan on record. Then this weekend we got three straight days of rain. We got 2 inches in 24 hours, a new record. That is more rain than we usually get in three months. I have lived in the PHX area since 1999, and was born in AZ. I have NEVER seen weather like this in my 42 years.

8. PHX is Phoenix right.

I was thinking Philadelphia or something until I saw AZ.

That is pretty weird.

3. Chaotic, "chaotic" is the word. The variance of the varying of the weather is increasing.

Higher highs, lower lows, ...

My plants are getting quite confused, but they keep trying.

4. We've had an unusually warm winter.

Not that we haven't had freezing temps and snow; we have.

Winter started 2 months late. I was beginning to think it wasn't going to show up at all. Once here, it was reasonable. We had 5 days of very cold temperatures, and our lows have been at the high end of normal the rest of the time. Our highs have been running at the extreme high end of normal, with some days actually hitting the low 50s, which is not normal at all.

Last winter was warmer than usual, as well, although not this warm. Last winter I only used half the firewood I usually need to heat the house. This year I didn't buy any more. It looks like last year's leftovers will see me through this winter.

5. 72 monday

here in KS, 40 yesterday, snow overnight and 24 degrees now..The snow is heading your way..

[justabob]

6. little cooler than usual... Dallas

It has been a little colder than usual, and there have been fewer temperature swings than we usually get between Thanksgiving and now. We have had three snows that "stuck", but not enough to shut the city down. The last couple of winters I have had to run my AC a lot, which isn't normal. This year, I have managed to keep it off. I am hoping that the week or so of sub-freezing temps we had around Christmas improves our mosquito/flea issues going into spring/summer. It was brutal last year, but we only had ONE hard freeze IIRC.

[Mnemosyne]

7. 60 today, dropping into 20's tonight, 10 to 13 inches snow by Friday. nt

[ananda]

9. 60s today and down close to freezing tonight in Austin.

This is the end of a long warm humid spell here.

[Mnemosyne]

12. I'm in NW Pa. Insane weather. I saw buds coming on some trees a few weeks ago, the plant world is

really confused.

[kentauros]

10. For Houston, this is normal

I don't know what the temps were earlier this week, but it was shorts and short-sleeves weather. Now, it's chilly enough for a light jacket. It will likely warm up by the weekend and the cycle will repeat.

This is pretty typical weather for us

11. Nice animated radar images of Milwaukee's heat island this morning...

For the last couple of hours Milw has been on the eastern edge of the backside snow, and the heat island shows nicely as a stationary bulge in the freezing mix generally moving to the northeast.

It'll be interesting to see how long it holds out against this storm...

[Volaris]

13. yeah. But there's no climate change, or anything...

I shouldn't NEED a sarcasm tag..

[Motown_Johnny]

14. Still warm here in Detroit, but it will be cold tomorrow.

I think they are calling for a ~40 degree drop in one day.

More freezing rain tonight.


The new normal isn't normal.

[arthritisR_US]

15. Yesterday and today, bloody cold. Supposed to

warm up a bit tomorrow.

[CBGLuthier]

16. Two days ago the high was 77

It got back down to freezing last night with today's high expected to be 48.

[flamingdem]

19. freezing in Southern California, hit 46 degrees last night

brrrrrrrrrrr

[Liberal_Dog]

20. Here In Lexington, Ky

We are going to have a 40 degree drop in temps today.
