We're still getting storms, rain and now the snow is coming to kill off all the plants that have made an early appearance.

Sunny for the minute though
 
It is currently -11F. I am beginning to hate sunny weather. The more sun, the colder it is here. It should warm up to 17F this afternoon, but that means we'll have snow.
 
Colder than of late but nothing to moan about.Sun's just popped out which is nice.Also the days are getting noticeably longer so it's countdown to Springtime.
 
Cold, cold and cold (did I mention it is cold?). About -5F (-15C) this morning.

This winter is turning into the movie Groundhog Day. ;)
 
A balmy 5 degrees F. which should reach the low teens by mid-day in my location in the great state of Maine.
 
Was lovely this morning, thought the forecasters had got it wrong again. No, they were right. Omg, the winds, the hail storms and heavy rains. Supposed to be good tomorrow, but storms back, as usual every other day, on Friday. I'm not flooded, I got electricity, my loo flushes and I'm grateful.
 
Another beautiful day in paradise…80 degrees and sunny. I really wish it would rain though. It hasn't rained since December 1st and I miss it. Can't wait for rainy season in April!
 
19F. with a forecast of 12-18 inches,starting late morning.Changing to sleet towards evening. :frown:
 
Warm here. It is 24F, and should even possibly get above freezing this afternoon. Light snow, but nothing really to speak of.
 
- 3 C right now and rising. Dog is looking forward to having a walk - supposed to reach + 5 C today. Chinook wind hadn't started yet. I'd just like to get rid of some of the snow. If it doesn't melt slowly we're likely to have another flood like last year.
 
Carol, you wouldn't believe the state of my place with so many dirty cat paw marks over everything. I'm about to despair at this weather! Roll on summer, right Axel?
 
snowing hard and windy,20F.Forecast of sleet after midnight turning back to snow tomorrow and snowing until midday.Good weather to sit by the wood stove.
 
34 c tomorrow,35c Sunday. Chance of snow very slight chance of heat stroke more likely .Trade you some snow. Ron.
 
30F and 18 inches of new snow with a nice ice crusted coating.Lingering on the forum because I don't want to clean my truck off and plow. :ybatty:
 
It is going to be a mild day here. Currently, it is 1F. They're predicting it will warm to above freezing on Monday, and we'll get rain. I hate rain in the winter. I'd rather have a foot of snow than 1/4 inch of rain!
 
Sun on snow is blinding. Got almost 25 inches (I don't know the final amount yet) more one the way, but not much more. A balmy 37f.

Ron, I'll trade you some snow for some of your heat. And it better be warm or else!

Dave13, Find some kids to plow and clean off your truck. That's what young lads are for.:lol2:

LindaS, I'm with you. At least with snow, when it melts you get the benefit of water in the wells without the additional benefit of getting soaking wet.
 
thought they had got it wrong today, but that was this morning. Horrendous gales out with torrential downpours and am just awaiting actual damage. I'm high on cliffs here so no floods.

Stay safe from the gales and rain GB
America, would you rather have the floods and gales?
Catherine, have some of our rain, and don't forget to send some strapping great Aussies to upload the flood water and take it back there. We just don't want it anymore.

Good luck all.

Actually, here the problem is worse. It doesn't get above freezing too often in the winter here. Rain coats everything with a layer of ice that doesn't go away until late March. And if the temperature goes below 10F, salt doesn't work very well.

While I can't speak to everyone in America :lol2: I know even though I get sick of our winter, I prefer it to a more mild winter. We don't have any insects for 6 months of the year, and I'm perfectly fine with that!!! However, this year, I'd like some help paying our gas bill. January was twice the normal amount, and we keep the house really cool, only 63 degrees during the day.
 
Oh, Linda, I was pleasantly surprised about the low energy bill this month. I've not really used it like we normally do. It is somewhat mild this year. I feel for you and what an insight into winters in Minnesota. Poor you. Do you have spikes on the shoes to walk on ice? Sounds awful

No spikes on the shoes! But we have several different levels of outerwear. My coat is rated to -30F (which I think is similar to -30C). my son has 2 sets of boots, coats and snow pants, so that when one is wet, he can wear the other. Our radiator is always covered in gloves, mittens, coats, etc.

Fortunately, where I live in Minnesota, we don't get a lot of snow. For most of January, it is too cold to snow, as the air is too cold to hold moisture. It feels like whenever it warms up, we get snow.

I also have winter/summer mats for the car. And I have to wash the car so much in the winter to keep the road salt from making it rust. Whenever the temperature is below 0F, they have signs on the road warning that even if it hasn't snowed, the roads are icy because car exhaust freezes to the road, causing black ice.

Oh, and every winter we battle ice dams. They aren't too bad yet this year, because we insulated the crap out of our attic and we haven't had any warm temperatures, but the way our house was built means that there isn't a way to really avoid them.

But one advantage to living here is really appreciating nice weather. There are a ton of lakes in both St. Paul and Minneapolis, and whenever the weather is nice, everyone goes to them, or other outdoor rec areas. Unfortunately, this winter, even with all the snow we've had, we haven't been able to really enjoy it because it has been too cold.
 
IT’S RAINING!!! YEEHAW!!!

another storm just starting and could drop another foot on top of the foot and a half we just got."Winter time and the livings easy"...wait,that's not how that song goes.
 
About 35 cm (14 inches) of snow overnight and into this morning. The road was plowed about 4:30 PM this afternoon - they had to get the loader with a plow

8F.this morning and very windy.I don't want to think of the windchill factored in,another storm predicted for tomorrow.It may be very cold but we do have blue skies and sunshine too.I better go stoke the wood stove.
 
We went away this weekend, and got about an inch while we were gone. Now we have a full fledged blizzard. We should get about 6 -9 inches of additional snow, but it is blowing around so much, I can barely see the houses across the street. I'm very glad there is no school due to President's Day. I wouldn't want to have to drive my son around in this.
 
6.4F this morning.No wind thankfully(wish I could say the same for myself).Suppose to start snowing around 11am and go until 11pm but only drop another 5 inches.
 
It is WARM here today! Right now it is 18F, but it should go up to 40F this afternoon. We got 6 inches of snow yesterday, with brutal winds, but that is done and it should be sunny and warm this afternoon. I can't remember the last time we were above freezing. I think it was in December.
 
18.5F and 9 inches of fresh snow.This time of the morning is usually the coldest part of the day,mild and no wind.
 
It is another warm day here, almost 40F. Tomorrow we're supposed to get another 9-12 inches of snow, then back to sub-zero temps.
 
nothing under 30c for weeks and high humidity. Just right for prickly heat rash. No rain where I am just lots of cloud build up then it disappears. Ron.
 
We're in the calm before the storm. It smells like snow outside, and we're supposed to get up to a foot of wet snow. I hope our power doesn't go out.
 
Snowed for about 30secs.If I hadn't been looking out of the window I would have missed it................Oh I do hope that was the winter we've been waiting for.
 
Tee hee, Carol. And I missed the earthquake today. Didn't feel a thing. Probably I was on the loo creating vibrations with the big D. Perhaps that is what caused the 4.1 in the Bristol channel.
 
Snow day for schools today. We got 11 inches overnight. It is the heavy wet snow. One of my neighbors trees fell across our driveway. Fortunately, I can work from home. Now bitter cold wind chills.
 
- 20 C right now. Just had three mule deer show up in front of my house. One jumped my small fence and came in the front yard to check out my bird feeder (the grain must have drawn it there). Jumped back and went down the street. They must be coming back every night as I've seen their scat on the sidewalks while walking the dog.
 
sunny,windy and cold.14F Warnings about windchill on NOAA sending temps into the negatives all day.Colder tonight...winter is still here :ybatty:
 
-4F right now. Windchill warnings with wind chills around -35F. 10 minutes to frostbite. We got a bit of snow overnight.

I can't wait for spring.
 
I feel embarrassed but I'm really not to blame !!!.........It's been another nice day here.Have been for a long enjoyable walk in the country and it was definitely Spring like.Leaves appearing and lots of birdsong.But I know it could change overnight. !!!
 
8F and sunny. No wind. It is cold but the chickadees are singing there Spring song...our two weeks of Summer are on the way!
