sidewinder Posted January 10, 2016 Report Posted January 10, 2016 Nice to have a day without a deluge at last ! Quote
Scott Dolan Posted January 10, 2016 Report Posted January 10, 2016 Winter finally arrived yesterday, and we ended up getting four inches of snow. Really bizarre for us to go that late into the season with absolutely no accumulating snow. Colder than fuck out there now. Thermometer was reading 5 degrees this morning! Quote
Tom 1960 Posted January 10, 2016 Report Posted January 10, 2016 Heavy rain expected today with strong winds expected about 3 PM this afternoon with possible power outages. If it comes to that, we at least have the generator at the ready. Quote

A Lark Ascending Posted January 17, 2016 Report Posted January 17, 2016 It's that wet snow - hanging prettily from the trees and on the grass but quickly vanishing on tarmac or concrete. If it gets a bit warmer it will be gone. Kids are having a great time all over the estate. Teachers will be praying for more tonight (apart from the head teacher who always appears on the news with a snow shovel announcing how he's kept the school open despite the mammoths and sabre-tooth tigers wandering by)!

A Lark Ascending Posted January 17, 2016 Report Posted January 17, 2016 Virtually all gone now. Little Ice Age. Quote
BillF Posted January 17, 2016 Report Posted January 17, 2016 Brass monkeys still need to take care, though. Quote
kinuta Posted January 18, 2016 Report Posted January 18, 2016 We've been in Chiang Rai since new year and the weather is wonderful; blue skies, 30C in the daytime and 15 or so in the early morning and at night. A big contrast to Tokyo, which has 6 cm of snow. We have another two weeks then back to the cold. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted January 23, 2016 Report Posted January 23, 2016 Exceptionally mild. Hope everyone on the east coast of the States is coping. Looks hellish. Quote
paul secor Posted January 23, 2016 Report Posted January 23, 2016 So far, we've escaped the heavy snow that other parts of the east coast are experiencing. Just a light dusting here, as of 2 p.m. My sympathy to those who are getting hit hard. Quote
mr jazz Posted January 23, 2016 Report Posted January 23, 2016 snowing hard in the Washington DC area but so far no power loss but it ain't over until it's over! Quote
kinuta Posted January 26, 2016 Report Posted January 26, 2016 7C in northern Thailand, renowned for it's lovely winter weather. The locals bundled up in their few warmish clothes. Two days of freezing cold rain. Other places like HK and Taipei suffering similar unprecedented cold weather. Luckily blue skies due to return tomorrow. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted January 31, 2016 Report Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) It's spring! Spotted a few miles from Buxton in Derbyshire, supposedly the highest market town in England. Several clumps there but only this bunch were open. Shortly after there were hail showers. Then bright sun. Then further hail enough to turn the moors above Sheffield white. Around 7.00 a good fall of slushy snow bad enough to almost stop my car from climbing a hill in Sheffield (not a place you want to be in the snow...hills everywhere). Largely gone by 10. Mad British weather (apparently the tail end of the storms that hit the USA last week). Edited January 31, 2016 by A Lark Ascending Quote
Tom 1960 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Posted January 31, 2016 An amazing day here in southern Maine with temps in the low 50's and plenty of sunshine. I took a ride into Ogonquit a 10 minute drive down the coast and walked along the Marginal Way a paved trail which hugs the coastline. In one word, AWESOME! Quote

A Lark Ascending Posted February 8, 2016 Report Posted February 8, 2016 Hope other UK'ers (and probably those further afield in Europe) are not getting wrecked by Storm Imogen...very windy and wet today here, though as nothing to the near 100 mph winds on some coasts.

sidewinder Posted February 9, 2016 Report Posted February 9, 2016 Power outage at place last night - pretty rare event. Fortunately back to normal now and I don't have to haul out the hand cranked gramophone ! Quote

Good job I was going out as we have sleet and snow at the moment, not too common an experience in Cornwall at least not in recent years. Storm Imogen was pretty awesome here although I didn't manage to get to the coast where waves were up to 60 feet in some places. Quote
paul secor Posted February 9, 2016 Report Posted February 9, 2016 Maybe an inch of snow last night and it's already melting. Quote
