[Skidmore]

Here in SE Iowa it was -3 last time I checked and has been snowing like the dickens since early morning. We must have about 4" by now.

[nebenaube]

1. NW WI

-6 with snow... relatively normal!

[BOSSHOG]

2. 50 degrees and Sunny - Tuesday Morning, South Mississippi

[The Cleaner]

6. Same in Dallas, supposed to be 70 today.

Then 68 tomorrow, then cold weather comes back (40s).

[BOSSHOG]

20. The weather

forecaster chick is teasing us with 70 degree temps for tomorrow. that will be nice. Then a yucky weekend to come.

[SharonAnn]

3. Reminds me of my childhood in NE Iowa. Winters were very cold and snowy. Brrr!

[LibDemAlways]

4. Yesterday was a record breaker for heat in So. Cal. on

February 5 - close to 90.

[Pugee]

5. Here in mid-Missouri, it's 30 right now. Warmest day of week!

[demnan]

7. It's a balmy 18 degrees here in Alexandria, VA

No snow, maybe a flurry tomorrow. The Potomac was frozen over solid this morning, and that almost never happens. Now it has patches of melt but still lots of ice.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

18. Greetings from a former Alexandrian.

It's been that cold? Wow. I miss the Mount Vernon Trail!

[demnan]

35. My cubicle overlooks the water, it's quite nice

I was born in Alexandria but I can't afford to live here, I just work here.

[jean]

8. Central MN: 0 degrees, light snow, low wind. It's a warm up!!!

[rocktivity]

9. Newark NJ area: very cold, very dry, no precip due

Ten above when I left for work this morning. One of my co-workers had to have a big toenail removed in the emergency room over the weekend. She showed up wearing sandals yesterday -- it was too painful to even put a sock over it. She's wearing a sock today, though, so I guess she's doing better. I said, "Well, you sure picked the right day for it!"

:headbang:

[Ilsa]

10. So Texas: Goes from 40 to 70 today, but this is the most consistently

cold winter I can remember since I've lived here (most of my life). We've had long sleeve weather or coat weather all of Christmas through now, and it is wetter than usual. January was mostly gray and wet.

But I'd rather have the consistently cold weather than trying to figure out if I should wear cashmere or tank tops.

[lazyriver]

11. It was -3 in Central Maine when I got up this morning.

It was supposed to be much colder but some clouds rolled in last night and kept us from seeing -10 or even colder. It took a long time to get here but winter is firmly entrenched.

[Sanity Claws]

12. Seattle - 50 degrees with clouds is the forecast

Right now it's about 42 and foggy. We seem to be getting into an early spring. Keep in mind that our winter started very early this year. We had snow and unusually cold temps in November.

[MuseRider]

13. NE Kansas

we broke freezing yesterday for the first time in a week. Today it is supposed to get to 49 degrees then 26 tomorrow and another below freezing week. I say thank goodness, we have winter again here. Sounds miserable where you are! We used to have temps like that but it has been a long time, 4 years maybe, since we have had that for any extended time.

[rodeodance]

14. -6 mid WI feels warm after last few days --wind has died down

[WorseBeforeBetter]

15. An invigorating and sunny 26 in Raleigh - finally!

I'm sure it will be back to high 60s and humid in no time though. :-(

[Gidney N Cloyd]

16. Chicago/O'Hare area: +1 and moderate snowfall (not supposed to last long)

[RebelOne]

17. 38 degrees and bright sunshine here in the Atlanta area.

[MamaBear]

19. A balmy 18 degrees in New York City

It was much, much colder last night, and the wind was wicked. Winter has arrived at last, in February. It's breezy today too, especially near the water.

So my winter jacket is getting some wear after all.

[Dora]

21. Burlington?

Today's forecast high is 70, here in Austin.

All my in-laws live in the Wapello-Morning Sun region.

MIL & FIL are visiting us right now, and cackling their heads off that they're Here, and Not There in Iowa.

[Semi_subversive]

22. It's pleasant in Sacramento

Lower 40s to start the day and top out in the low 60s. It's supposed to finally begin raining tonight and do so thru the weekend.

[ewagner]

23. Central Wisconsin

Current Temp is -4F (higher than yesterday's highest I think)frikkin' heat wave, I tell ya!

Radar shows snow southwest of us in a band of snow going from NW to SE...looks like the heaviest is well southwest of us...probably between Decorah, IA and La Crosse WI...

Winds are light and variable....not howling like they have been since friday...schools were closed here yesterday because of windchills of -35 to -45.....hrrrrmppffff....they never did that when my kid was in school...

:hi:

[mike_c]

24. it's a beautiful day in coastal norcal....

Currently about 48 F and sunny, forecast mid-fifties and partly cloudy this afternoon. I'm working at home today, enjoying the sunshine through the windows and a cup of great coffee.

[fla nocount]

25. Oviedo, Fl. Mid 60's, Bluebird skies, life is good

If Tom Feeney(Reptilian Party)wasn't the House Rep. life would be grand.

[KingofNewOrleans]

26. Supposed to reach the 70s today

I'll try to push some of it your way.

[fed-up]

27. dismal snowpack for Northern CA -significant rain finally predicted

http://www.sierrasun.com/article/20070205/NEWS/70204008
And the survey says — dismal snowpack
February 5, 2007

RENO (AP) — The Sierra Nevada snowpack is dismal at best, according to monthly snow surveys by hydrologists.
Scientists measured about 2.5 feet of snow near the Mount Rose summit southwest of Reno. Last year at this time, there was about 15 feet.
Water content amounted to 8.4 inches, about 32 percent of normal.
“It's not good, not good at all,” Dan Greenlee, a hydrologist with the U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service, said Thursday. “It's a pretty sad situation right now.”
California Department of Water Resources found snowpack water content averaging only 43 percent of normal over the 400-mile-long mountain range.

Statement as of 5:30 AM PST on February 06, 2007


... Wet weather to return to northern California Wednesday...

The persistent dry weather pattern over northern California is
expected to end Wednesday. The unusually strong high pressure ridge
that has kept the area dry for the last week has shifted east of the
state. This shift will allow Pacific storms to reach northern
California. These systems are expected to tap into abundant
subtropical moisture so could bring significant precipitation at
times through the weekend.

Precipitation will begin Wednesday as the first weather system makes
its way into the area. Although much of northern California should
receive precipitation... rain and mountain snowfall amounts are
expected to be light with this initial system. Heavier precipitation
is expected on Thursday and Friday as wetter systems move through
the north state. Weather systems will continue to pivot through the
region over the weekend and possibly into early next week. Several
inches of rain and high elevation snowfall are expected over
northern California... especially from Thursday into the weekend.

Snow levels are expected to begin around 4500 to 6000 feet on
Wednesday and rise to 6000 to 7500 feet on Thursday and Friday as
warmer air from the subtropics moves into the area. Snow levels will
then lower again over the weekend but generally remain at or above
5000 feet over the Sierra.

28. Illinois/Wisconsin border

It's about 0 here and snowing pretty good...lol we weren't supposed to get more than a dusting.

Cheers

[Blackhatjack]

29. Raleigh, NC - 16 last night, high in the 30s today ....n/t

[kestrel91316]

30. Los Angeles here: hit 80 yesterday. Mid-70s today, I think.

BUT we have had virtually no rain this season. I think only 2-2.5" since the measuring season started in July.

Dry dry dry

[TZ]

31. heat wave..

of 18 degrees here in Rockville, MD (it was 7 degrees earlier). Now they are calling for 1-2 inches of snow here. Oh no- time to go to the grocery store for that bread milk and tp!!!
:rofl:
(bit of an inside joke- folk in metro DC panic when three or more snowflakes are forecast- and seriously the grocery stores will probably be crowded tonight):eyes:

[The Cleaner]

39. Yep, indeed that's true. But move to Dallas; It's even funnier.

A light dusting of snow is enough to cancel events, delay schools, and cause the news to go into 24/7 "Winter Blast" mode. And of course, the bread and milk.

However, the bread and milk doesn't have quite the same cache here. There's so many grocery stores in the area and a lesser population, so they don't run out. In DC, you claw your way through crowds and traffic to get to the grocery store at 8:30pm before a snowstorm and the shelves are already cleared. It's a riot! :)

I recall the 1996 back to back snowstorms in DC which caused nearly 3 feet of snow. Everyone was snowed in. And the news ran out of things to say and resorted to taking the most boring callers who had contracted "cabin fever." "Do you have cabin fever? What are you doing today? How are you faring?" and on and on. :eyes:

[TZ]

43. I remember that storm well..

the cul-de-sac I lived on didn't get plowed for almost 3 days and since I am only 5 feet tall walking was impossible for me. I had cabin fever too!!!:hi:
The only thing that worries me is tomorrow morning since its been awhile since we have had snow on a workday. People forget quickly how to drive in the snow here....:crazy:

[Norquist Nemesis]

32. Western Chicago Suburbs--Brutally cold and snowing

brrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mandate My Ass]

33. 19 degrees in Philadelphia, wind chill makes it feel like 6 degrees

Expected high in the low 20's.

[EstimatedProphet]

34. Snowing like a motherf***er in W Indiana

Predicted up to 6" for today, and it looks like we're gonna get it.

[ralps]

36. 0 degrees in Milwaukee, WI & it's supposed to snow! Brrrrrr

:scared:

[in_cog_ni_to]

37. South of Chicago...it's a heat wave today...10 degrees and snowing like hell.

We've probably gotten 4 inches of snow so far this morning and it doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon.:( Yesterday it was 2 here with a wind chill of -20 to -30.:scared:

[TornadoTN]

38. 27 F here in Northeast Tennessee

Windy and gloomy, expecting 2-6 inches of snow tonight.

[Marrah_G]

40. Foxboro Ma

Sunny 25...feels like 10.

Still barely more then a flurry of snow all winter.

It was springtime weather until a couple weeks ago. My flowering trees were budding. I had about 5 bluejays and 4 Cardinals all over the yard, so I went to get them some food to help them during the confusion. Then overnight it dropped to about 5 degrees and its been cold ever since.

Still...no....snow.

This is very, very bad for us.

[ourbluenation]

41. still no rain in Northern Cali. drought on the way if things dont improve. n/t

[WyLoochka]
