1. We were at 5 degrees this morning! (western PA)

It is beautifully bright and sunny though. It is supposed to warm up for the rest of the week.

Happy Bird Day, In_The_Wind!

[In_The_Wind]

2. I woke up to 5 degrees.

We are having windows installed next Monday. It's gonna be tons of fun keeping the house warm enough for the birds while the job is being done.

[femmocrat]

5. We replaced all of our windows around 15 years ago.

Best money we ever spent on this house. They really keep it quiet and no more drafty windows. I hope you get a warm spell to protect the birdies.

[In_The_Wind]

6. I plan to move the parrots into my bathroom. I've got a oil heater in there.

The doves cage is sitting on a sturdy coffee table that was built by Boy Scouts before 1972 (my acquisition date). I've got an oil heater next to them. I plan to wrap my electric blanket around them until the house returns to a normal 75 degrees.

54 degrees with a 20 mile/hr wind. Gonna go to about 64 today.

I hate it.

[In_The_Wind]

4. I'll switch places with ya.

( I love Florida )

[pinboy3niner]

7. So far, so good, but rain heading our way

L.A. region will get rain, snow, high winds, and 15' surf. And that's just this morning, as we get hit with the first of three storms. The second storm will be the strongest, they say.

[In_The_Wind]

8. Do you need the rain?

I'll bet the surfers are happy about big waves.

Wait Did you say snow ?

[pinboy3niner]

9. We certainly need rain in California

They'll get snow at higher elevations in the mountains. For me, it sounds like a good day to nap.

[In_The_Wind]

10. Naps are so enjoyable.

I miss mine when I have a busy day away from home.

12. Cold, rainy, and misty.

Wish I was home in my pajamas. Facing a hella day in clinic...

[fizzgig]

34. i can't handle the damp cold

i'd rather have single digits here. well, as long as the wind isn't blowing.

[Tom_Foolery]

13. It's 30 with no tornadoes in sight...

We had them dancing around this area two weeks ago. I'll take cold weather over twisters any old day.

[a la izquierda]

14. 18 degrees F and clear in Morgantown, WV

I'm happy I'm flying to Atlanta on Thursday.

[noamnety]

15. It was 12 degrees this morning

My bicycle commute is a little over an hour - the inside of my face mask was covered in a layer of frost by the time I got to work.

If only I could make it in without exhaling ...

[In_The_Wind]

21. IMO: That's too darned cold to be riding a bicycle.

[noamnety]

26. My son in law commutes a few miles in the snow on a unicycle.

I have the family reputation to uphold.

[sakabatou]

16. Low 50s, partly sunny

[hedgehog]

17. Too damn cold, but normal for this time of year here in Upstate New York.

[Throd]

18. Very rainy here in Sacramento (Yay!)

[ghostsinthemachine]

41. Sunny now

More rain on the horizon tomorrow. The slopes are gonna be dope this weekend.

[uriel1972]

19. Estimated top of 29oC

I think I'll start the air conditioner

Australia: nice place, if it doesn't kill you first.

[2naSalit]

20. Warmed up enough to snow!

It stayed in the teens (that's above 0 degrees F as opposed to the subzero temps we've had for over a week) last night, hell it's like we're having us a heatwave!

[fizzgig]

35. i know that feeling

northern colorado only gets a few weeks of ass-biting cold a year, but it hasn't hit yet and the anticipation is somehow even worse.

[2naSalit]

36. Me too.

Last week was just the early blast, we should be getting another before long, but now it's pretty warm. Almost hit +40F yesterday and today. My roof slid, there was a good three feet of snow on it, felt like an earthquake. The out building next to me slide off too and hit my wall, that was an interesting moment. At least we have snow.

[fizzgig]

37. it's snowing and hovering around freezing right now

but i'm quite comfortable outside. the husband thinks i'm nuts.

[2naSalit]

38. Oh, I go out

when it's really cold without getting all bundled up sometimes... I have one neighbor and when he's home we walk to each other's cabin in just sweats and slippers even when it's storming, unless the snow is really deep, then there will be boots and maybe a jacket. It's only 50ft. from one porch to the other. I step out to look at the stars or meteors in the middle of the night too.

[MissB]

22. 35 and melty

But my driveway is still quite slick.

[In_The_Wind]

23. It's up to 21. What little bit of snow we got last week is still on the ground in spots.

It was above freezing everyday after the snow but once it hits upstate New York it usually stays until the thaw.

[MissB]

24. Nice! We don't get snow on the ground but every 4

years or so. We didn't get much - about 1.5 inches, but the freezing rain on top of that did the city in. No school for two days - the teenage boys are BORED and want to go back to school - and I've been off work for those two days.

We don't salt roads around here so it just has to thaw. Slowly.

I got to watch three cars end up in the ditch on our blind corner last night in a period of 10 minutes. Called the county sheriff's office and suggested they come deal, as two of the three drivers just walked away. Turns out the city had closed a nearby road and ours was on everyone's gps as an alternative. Three more cars were in the ditch further down our street.

[In_The_Wind]

25. I've found the best way to drive on ice is slowly with tires on the shoulder for traction.

It's far better to watch the driving problems from inside your warm home.

[sakabatou]

27. This morning will be cloudy with a chance of rain

[Sentath]

28. Soggy

Arizona is currently soggy and the natives are badly disoriented by it ( :

[ghostsinthemachine]

29. Cloudy with some rain showers (el Nino rulez!)

Sun is out with great light right now. Looks like a few good days before EN comes a calling again. Good for us, we need some rain and snow.

[In_The_Wind]

30. We had a sunny 40 degrees this afternoon. The temps have fallen to 25 on the way to 18.

I relocated to the north over 40 years ago.
When I was younger the cold weather was fun. Now, it's just cold.

[steve2470]

31. 74 F and clear

We've only had a few days of "true winter" so far, meaning where you have to turn on the heat.

[kentauros]

32. It's filled with dingbats

and cats getting hit by flying objects off-screen

[fizzgig]

33. the roads were wet, but clear an hour ago

and the plows have come through since then



it's just above freezing and i'm just fine here on the porch.

[In_The_Wind]

39. Stay safe, fizzgig!

[fizzgig]

40. the roads look miserable now

but i finally am able to work from home, so i don't have to worry about it.

[ProfessorGAC]

42. 40 And Drizzling

60 miles south of downtown Chicago

[TexasBushwhacker]

43. Houston - 62°, raining cats & dogs up to 1 inch hail

That size hail is going to give roofers a lot of business.

[Xipe Totec]

44. McAllen, Tx, 64 degrees. And we don't worry about hail until it gets to grapefruit size. nt

[kentauros]

45. I was hearing it hit the carports.

Good thing I decided to position my car about midway instead of backed all the way up as usual. I haven't yet been out to inspect damage, though.

The roof on our apartment was replaced a couple of years ago with an all-white (reflective) rubber material. Now, the only thing I'd be concerned about would be the roof-a/c units.

[TexasBushwhacker]

46. I only saw pictures

I'm not close enough to the carports to hear anything, but I looked outside a few times and didn't hear any hail. I'm near 290 and 610.

I was at my mother's house in Sharpstown during a hailstorm several years ago. Quarter sized hail just poured down. Below every roof valley, the hail just piled up. The next day the roofers were knocking on doors, handing out business cards. Everyone in the neighborhood got new shingles!

[kentauros]

49. I remember that hailstorm from a few years ago.

The roof on this apartment must be quite sturdy, because it didn't have any damage. However, my patio plants were pummeled, as were the tops of the trees in our courtyard. It looked like they lost about the top three feet of leaves.

Yesterday's storm didn't last as long, nor had nearly as much hail. I saw the piles at a friend's townhouse not far from here (Meyerland area.) I only saw that because my street was still flooded. We didn't seem to have it pile up as much.

[Lizzie Poppet]

47. 40F, light rain...typical Portland winter day.

I like weather like this. When it's fully light, I plan to take a nice bike ride. Portland cyclists tend to be prepared for rain, and it's really only sprinkling...

[KentuckyWoman]

48. Grey

outside the door it is grey. It is mostly always grey from September to March.

[Blue_In_AK]

50. Sunny and too damn warm by Alaska's standards.

Another "winter that wasn't." This warmth and lack of snow is seriously bumming me out. 32 degrees? Bah, humbug.

[Laffy Kat]

51. Cold and clear with snow still on the ground from Friday. nt

[Liberal_in_LA]

52. Too cold

[GoneOffShore]

53. A bit of cloud, wind, sun has been up 45 minutes

Temp 11C.

[Major Nikon]

54. 91 degrees, sunny and humid

10°35?20? N 85°40?16? W

[Jamaal510]

55. Grey, low 60s. nt

[TeamPooka]

56. It's a nice day in SoCal today, unless you didn't win a golden globe last night. nt
