How's the weather?

[Tim McG]

Rain.

Beautiful, glorious rain.

[paul secor]

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.

[mr jazz]

snowing hard in the Washington DC area but so far no power loss but it ain't over until it's over!

[jlhoots]

50 & sunny!!

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.

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).

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!

Yes, but what about this? Saw daffodils in full bloom 3 days ago. Isn't that supposed to happen in March?

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.

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 !

Same here. Power was out from 2am until 4pm. 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.

Maybe an inch of snow last night and it's already melting.

Too dang hot too dang soon.

[A Lark Ascending]

Cold and rather beautiful. 

[Tom 1960]

-6 F with wind chills near -30 F. I let the dogs out to do there business and they swiftly returned. They don't want any part of this cold weather.

[T.D.]

I think it might have been -25 F last night, pretty sure -20 (Catskill Mtns, NY).  My indoor thermometer, which runs low 5-10 degrees in cold weather, said -32 early this morning.

[ejp626]

It's very cold out there (-18 C), but essentially no snow.  Yesterday and this morning, Toronto was colder than Yellowknife!  It's supposed to warm up a bit today and tomorrow will be hovering around freezing.  Doesn't change the fact that I have to go out today and am dreading it a bit.

[paul secor]

About 10 below last night and we lost power - I think due to a transformer blow up somewhere. We regained power late this morning, so not too bad.

[T.D.]

Stayed home today in bitter cold, but went out to start the car (successfully!) at 3:30 PM and the temperature read 0, which might be a degree or two high because the car was sitting in the sun. Funny, after a low near -25 F Sunday morning, temp might hit +40 F on Tuesday, with pouring rain.

66 degrees Fahrenheit at this moment here in Dallas.

Lovely crisp, cold, clear day yesterday until 4 and then:

Cold enough for a thin layer of the snow to have survived on soil and grass but crisp and clear again. But I wouldn't be surprised if...

Nice pic, Bev! No snow here, but COLD.

[T.D.]

Over 40 degrees F and raining, may reach 45 F later. Quite a change from -25 Sunday morning - gain of 70 degrees in less than 60 hours. Largest swing I can recall.

[paul secor]

Same here. Over 50 now, though it wasn't quite as low as -25 Sunday morning. Strange happenings.

[sidewinder]

Bl**dy freezing !
