Larry Kart Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Highland Park, Il. -- northern suburb of Chicago. Last night it was about -18, today about 3 above. Windchills more than -50 last night night and the night before. About a foot of snow on the ground. Would be at least two feet, but the previous big batch melted in about two days a few weeks ago, causing fairly widespread flooding. Left the house today in a pure burst of cabin fever. Paid for it when I somehow left an expensive library book in a grocery store shopping cart. Returned 30 minutes later and no one had turned it in. Maybe it'll get returned to the library. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 12 right now. 11 when Ann went snowshoeing this afternoon. Made sure she had her cell so she could call if she was dying. Quote
Tom 1960 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 As a mailman, while it's been difficult these past few days with the cold temps, at least there wasn't much of a wind and most importantly the sun was out. Maybe around 15 degrees tops during the day and close to 0 at night. For those who live in cold weather climates, a good pair of Under Armour really helps. It may cost you some bucks but it keeps you damn warm. Quote
kinuta Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 Beautiful unbroken blue skies every day. Air bone dry. Cold H8L2. Quote
Free For All Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 Chilly here- temp only made it into the mid-40s. Low 20s tonight. That COLD for these parts! I expect you folks up north are really getting some cold temps! Pretty soon you'll be upset when it "dips" down into the 50's, and bundling up in a parka, just like the native Floridians! Yes Agg, I am slowly but Shirley turning into a whiny Florida wussie. Not quite yet, but probably soon. :rsmile: Quote
AndrewHill Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 62 degrees here...38 tonight. Must be nice Quote
paul secor Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 Went for a two mile walk with my wife in 2 degree weather this morning - I must be friggin' nuts. But I have to say that it felt good to do it. Quote
sidewinder Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 Storm with gale force winds of up to 80 mph heading this way.. Hatches battened down. Quote
Tim McG Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 65 and balmy today...even the sun came out after our morning fog. 38 tonight. Quote
AndrewHill Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 Getting slammed by a huge snow storm since last night, and it already dumped over a foot of snow. Quote
BruceH Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 Very sunny today. Temp in the low-to-mid-60's. Quote
Serioza Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) I guess it depends on Groundhog Edited February 1, 2009 by Serioza Quote
AndrewHill Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 A bit of a warmup but now the concern is all of the melting snow on my roof, which is now leaking into my utility closet Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 Blizzard! First proper snow we've had for years. It was like driving home through an ECM sleeve. Quote
jostber Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 Freezy, going down to -10 C and will be further down by the weekend. Quote
sidewinder Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) Worst snow over here in nearly 20 years - it's GREAT ! Of course many of the wusses in and around London and the SE made their excuses to phone in for the day off.. Edited February 2, 2009 by sidewinder Quote
BillF Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 Worst snow over here in nearly 20 years - it's GREAT ! Of course many of the wusses in and around London and the SE made their excuses to phone in for the day off.. Largely escaped it here, Sidewinder, and to be frank I don't mind! Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 Blizzard! It's not been bad enough in Notts for my school to be shut so far. But today we've got it good and proper. Nothing to see at all at 5.15 when I got up (I'm 20 miles north of work) but it was already affecting the south Midlands. Got the 'school closed' call at 6.30 (hooray!). Snow started here shortly afterwards and hasn't stopped. To be honest, I'll get far more useful done at home - clear a backlog of course planning. The last few days have been awkward with parents keeping kids home, decimated classes. Hard to know whether to plough on with courses in the knowledge that kids who are away will be bewildered next week; or just do re-enforcement things. Quote
AndrewHill Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 Still experiencing a deep-freeze; currently, 10 degrees F. Quote
sidewinder Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 More snow outside the house today. Should be OK to drive through to work though (sigh). Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted February 7, 2009 Report Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) After a very strange week, weatherwise, a glorious Saturday. Cold enough to keep the surviving snow crisp and attractive. This was the scene just up the road a few hours back: Edited February 7, 2009 by Bev Stapleton Quote
AndrewHill Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 Still experiencing a deep-freeze; currently, 10 degrees F. Almost 60 degree F today!!! Ohio weather at its finest. Quote
