How cold is it where you are?

[Bonny]

-11 degrees F here this morning till noon. Barrow, Alaska had 18 degrees F yesterday. Another cold spell but the sun is out that counts big time. :)

[Catty1]

YOW! :eek::eek::eek:

How many seconds does it take for any exposed skin to get frostbitten?

I think 10 minutes or less. A friend and I bundled up and were going to do our 'walking group' outdoors. However, the zipper on my long coat separated up to my chest - not good. Plus, any exposed skin on my face was hurting after about 3 - 5 seconds exposure.

We went for coffee instead! :D

[phesina]

At the start of the Olympics, there was a feature on Siberia on TV. They said the temps got down to 50 below. I thought of you, Candace, and your walking group.

Coffee sounds like a much better idea!

[Bonny]

-25 this morning it is clear & the sun will be up soon to warm things up.

[cloverfdx]

It amazes me that the temp actually drops as low as -40c and less, and people go out and about and do stuff lol. Cold for us is -2c :p.

The crazy hot summer is really upsetting me :(. The sooner autumn and winter are here the better, then happy me returns.

[chocolatepuppy]

Jumping from the snow thread back to the cold thread, yet again!:rolleyes:

7°F feels like -3° and heading downward for the night.:(

[chocolatepuppy]

-1°F feels like -10° :(

[chocolatepuppy]

-7*F on my way out to work now.:rolleyes:

[Grace]

Good Morning, everyone :)

It's 14 BELOW at our house right now :D

[Lady's Human]

10 below zero.

So what was I just doing? Changing a battery in the truck.

[Asiel]

-19c right now-- it was -28c last night. Snow is starting up again.

[Karen]

Stay warm and safe! ;) Snow is supposed to start here tomorrow, apparently I should start panicking now ... unless we get rain, they keep moving the now/ice/rain line in breathless anticipation!

[Felicia's Mom]

Right now it is 12F and snowing. Next week it is supposed to be in the 40's.

[lizbud]

Right now it is 12F and snowing. Next week it is supposed to be in the 40's.


Not snowing here but 15 degrees and also predicted to be in 40s next week. I'm positively giddy at the prospect.:) ....NOT. I'm done with this Winter !!!! :p

[Taz_Zoee]

I feel so bad for all the states that are being hit so hard with these terrible storms. Over here in California we are having the exact opposite problem. We are in a drought! We are doing rain dances and just wishing and hoping it will rain some more. And cold?? What's that? Besides the beginning of December when it dipped down in the 20s we have not really had a winter here at all.
When the west coast heard Phil saw his shadow we were happy, but we could just hear the rest of the country groaning.

It just amazes me how different the weather can be from one state to another.

I do hope all of my Pet Talk families stay safe and warm for the next round of storms coming. We are supposed to get another "storm" here this weekend. We'll see if it rains for more than a few hours. :rolleyes:

[chocolatepuppy]

-8*F as I head out to work this morning. Oh joy!:rolleyes:

On the upside, warmers temps starting today! ;)

[Asiel]

-38C last night but today was such a sunny day that our high was -12C so that was a real treat. Gone back down to -26C right now, hope it's as far as it goes.

I am so anxious for Spring, seems it will never get here with all the storms.

[cassiesmom]

It's 41F today! And sunny! Finally a bit of a break from the cycles of cold and snow :)

It's supposed to rain tomorrow and then get cold again over the weekend into next week (20s F). But it's been nice to go out without multiple layers, hood, gloves and scarf for a change.

[chocolatepuppy]

13°F feels like -1° Two degrees tonight, so they say. I bet it will be colder.:(

It's snowing too but will wait until Sunday and Monday, when it dumps on us, to post in the snow thread.;)

[momcat]

It's 30 degrees here with snow flurries on and off. Yesterday we got about an inch of new snow with another winter storm due in Sunday afternoon into Monday. According to the weather reports, there are 2 systems heading our way - one coming in from the west and another coming up the coast. Bring it on!

[pomtzu]

Not sure of the temp - in the low 30's somewhere. We had a little more snow yesterday after it all being melted with the few Spring-like days over the weekend. Still mountains of snow in the parking lots where it had been plowed tho. Supposed to be back to nasty cold tomorrow, and another snow storm the first of next week. I'm a snow lover, but even I am getting tired of it this year. Sure beasts the oppressive heat and humidity of the summer, anytime! I'd like to order up just a happy medium between the two. :)

I think most people would agree with the "happy medium between the two." I love winter, though, yes, even now, and Paul prefers the "oppressive heat and humidity" any day!

[Asiel]

Today was -25C and tonight we're supposed to hit -34C or lower-- that cold snap is back. A little much for most of us. It just saps the energy right out of everyone.
Heat and humidity does me right in even if I stay indoors with the a/c but I think I prefer that.
In between would be fantastic.
We still have tons of snow, today was blowing all day, visibility was nil, just hate driving in those conditions.

[chocolatepuppy]

-9°F Well, no wind chill this morning, so nice and warm as I head out to work!:rolleyes:

[Barbara]

+ 10.5 C- we have the warmest winter in over 30 years. All the snowbells, crocus and primulas are out. We all hope there will not be any more snow in March- it is not unusual here.

[redbird]

It's a whopping 12 degrees here and going up to a heat wave of 21. We are definitely in the freezer today.

[Alysser]

It was 9 when I left for my classes this morning. I think I was really supposed to be born a southerner. I like the snow but I just hate the cold. :p

[phesina]

-16F in Ann Arbor this morning. That was the actual temperature, not the wind chill.

[smokey the elder]

3 F when I left for work; it's not much warmer in the building but it's getting a little better.

[momcat]

3 F when I left for work; it's not much warmer in the building but it's getting a little better.

We're having a tropical heat wave of 16 degrees. If you'd like to come by and share the heat, I'll put the coffee on.

[Catty1]

We are in what is hopefully our last polar plunge of the year (but I'm not counting on it!).

Right now it is -5F; with the windchill it is -11F.

Tonight's low is -35F.

Yikes.:eek:

[pomtzu]

We're having a tropical heat wave of 16 degrees. If you'd like to come by and share the heat, I'll put the coffee on.

Now that we are BOTH retired - we need to get together one of these days. Just need to get my back taken care of first - then maybe we can plan something! :) I just saw on the Philly weather, that you could get 6-12 inches more snow on Monday. They are saying only 1-3 for us here - but ice and freezing rain before the snow. That will keep me grounded!

[Grace]

-16F in Ann Arbor this morning. That was the actual temperature, not the wind chill.

The same out here in Dexter - MINUS 16F at 0745.

[Glacier]

I'm visiting my sister in Saskatchewan right now. It's -43 out of the wind & with the windchill it's -59C!!!! That's -74F!!! :eek::eek: I'm looking forward to returning to my arctic home where it is 45 degrees warmer!!!

[phesina]

OMG! :eek::eek::eek:

What is that like? How do people even survive it?

-16F sounds downright tropical in comparison.

[Karen]

From the Haiku thread:


Bright sun on old snow
Brilliantly cold, sharp enough
To cut exposed skin


It was down to just 1°F last night (which is -17 in Celcius), and going lower tonight, everything that "looks" like fluffy snow is frozen solid and crunchy underfoot! But there are rumors of it being maybe above freezing tomorrow afternoon ... maybe ...

[momcat]

Hi Ellie! When, and if, this crazy weather breaks I'd love to make some plans. The latest weather report says it's 12 degrees here now, they're predicting 8" to 12" by the time the snow stops late Monday afternoon, and more snow on Thursday but the weatherguys aren't saying how much. The way the snow keeps on coming, maybe we should start training for the Itidarod.

[Glacier]

OMG! :eek::eek::eek:

Honestly here & when we get these kinds of temps in the Yukon, life just goes on as normal. A cold snap in either place can last weeks! Less outdoor activities, but my nieces caught the bus to school yesterday;my brother-in-law went to work(he works in the oil patch so outside!). I took the little girls to the swimming pool & out for lunch, met my oldest niece for a drink last night! It's -40 today & I'm helping one of my nieces move! I did have to borrow a gas truck, cuz my Dad's diesel truck was struggling to keep running! The diesel gels up in this kind of cold!

Absolutely - we'll get together in more predictable weather - and after my back surgery on 3/24 - then 6-8 weeks "mending". Late May or early June is usually nice weather in our neck of the woods - before I have to hibernate in the house with the a.c. on. :p

And that 1-3 inches of snow we were supposed to get here Sunday night/Monday, has now been updated to 6-10. Wonder what they'll be saying tomorrow - 10-15????? Don't ya just love these weather forecasters???? - every one says something different. We'll see how much snow we get, when it actually falls.


ETA: Didn't I tell you, Eileen??? The 6 o'clock news on Channel 6/Phila, is now saying 10-14 for south Jersey and all of DE. Seriously - I doubt we'll get anywhere near that amount..................

[Karen]

Awww, Pom, you're getting my snow! Now they are saying I might only get a dusting after all this hype. Sorry - send it my way - I *like* shoveling!

[momcat]

Awww, Pom, you're getting my snow! Now they are saying I might only get a dusting after all this hype. Sorry - send it my way - I *like* shoveling!

Same here, Karen. We were promised 8" to 12" but barely got a dusting. What a let down!!!!! :mad: :( Right now it's 19 degrees and for some reason NJ is under a state of emergency.

[Grace]

As I write this, it is MINUS 6.2°F. 24 hours ago, it was just zero.

When does the ground hog come out?

[pomtzu]

Yup - I called that shot again. I said our predicted 10-14 wouldn't happen, and we got about 4 or 5 at best. The roads were still solid ice under that tho, since it had rained and then froze before it started snowing. Kids finally went back to school today. As many weather related days that this district has closed schools for, these poor kids will be making up days clear into July! :eek:

[cassiesmom]

Pretty good. It was in the 20s F and sunny today. It's supposed to be in the mid 30s tomorrow but possibility of rain or freezing rain.

[Bonny]

It is a heat wave here, 34 degrees & cloudy. Rain & sleet are on the way though. Will have to put my ice skates on to get around to do the chores this evening.

[smokey the elder]

Our glacier...er...snow pack is 5 weeks and counting. I don't remember a snow pack lasting this long. It's basically morphed into two distinct strata since we had ice after two snow storms. Temp wise: about 40 F today, reaching 50 by the weekend.

[cassiesmom]

44 F in Chicago this afternoon :) It's supposed to be 30 or warmer for the next 3-4 days, works for me!

[lizbud]

54 degrees F and sunny today in Indy. Played in the yard with the pups today. Yesterday was nice too. I'm liking this.:D

[cassiesmom]

It's 45F today and the sun is out, but it's supposed to rain and/or snow overnight. I'm glad the weather is better!

[Karen]

Yes, above freezing — 35°F now here! And even warmer, maybe 45° tomorrow is predicted.

[SWHouston]

Freezing temps have been such a hassle down here, mainly because of our outside plants. Fortunately temps are trending upward in past week or so, maybe it's over for us. Dogs (Yorkies) didn't mind a bit, save for my rescue Navi (a Chi w/short hair) lots of shivering, but reason enough for more cuddling with her. I'm SO anxious for warmer weather.

[momcat]

Around here it's not nearly cold enough, 35 degrees. Not only that, we got cheated out of a snowstorm that promised somewhere around 6" but we barely got a dusting. A major disappointment to say the least! I'm hoping for another arctic blast that will permanently scare spring away - UGH! Many people get seasonal depression in the winter. I consistently get it in the spring and this has happened every spring for a lot of years, talked to my doctor about it but no physical cause was found.

Sorry to hear about your Spring depressions. You can come get our cold weather. Mid may and feels like Winter. Mr Snow Miser needs to retrieve his cold weather.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

It isn't cold at all here! In fact we even didn't have a "normal" winter....!
It only froze about 5 days (C°), and we didn't get a single bit of snow :(
The bad thing with this, is that almost no insects died, so I am afraid we will have much to many bugs this summer....!
Yesterday I saw a huge spider on the back porch....!
We have beautiful Spring weather now, with really lots of flowers in the garden, trees are getting new leaves, etc....!

[Catty1]

It's -15C here right now (10:00 am) with a wind chill of -23C. That's +5F with a windchill of -10F.

We've had snow - in fact, we had a full day of snowfall and wind on the 20th! Spring? I think not! :D

However, March and even April can be punctuated with blizzards which are followed by melting days. Time to drive carefully and stock up on windshield washer fluid!

[Catty1]

[cassiesmom]

Would you believe 30F tonight. It was over 60 when we left church yesterday morning. It's supposed to only be in the low 40s tomorrow, more like mid-March than mid-April.

There are a few yellow flowers on the forsythia bush in front of my building, though!

[chocolatepuppy]

Down to 18*F tonight and snow today!:eek: This after a sunny Sunday in the low 80's!

[Grace]

Here, in S.E. Michigan, we have set the record for most snow in a winter since they started keeping records!!

[Lady's Human]

We have another cold snap inbound tonight, temps dropping like a stone this afternoon and light snow.

[Karen]

Yesterday way warm and so windy - 45 m.p.h. they predicted, I am sure some were even stronger. Today it is raining and 64, with a predicted halving of that, 32 and maybe some light snow this evening.

[pomtzu]

Rainy, chilly and windy. Gloomy day to match my mood. After temps in the upper 70's to low 80's for the past several days, wet snow and temps below freezing are forecast for overnight and tomorrow morning, and high's MIGHT make it to 50. Only 50's - 60's thru the rest of the week. :(


Em - if you see this - tomorrow - I promise. If I am functioning, that is. :(

[snakemama]

Send some of that chill my way! It's over 80 here and my car's passenger window won't roll down....nor does it have working AC. :/

[Karen]

I was emailing a vendor in California today, and she also requested I send some of our abundant rain to her!

[carole]

It is mea'nt to be Autumn in NZ, however it is not cold at all, the temps have been 27 degrees C lately, i cannot believe how warm it is, i am really a winter person and i am so over the warmth, we had a cold Jan though which is usually one of our hottest months, but by now it should be getting a lot cooler.
We have had some glorious sunshine as well, but easter has brought us some much needed rain and we even had a cyclone on thursday just before easter.

Weather is so strange, gosh if it keeps this up we will be like the gold coast australia soon, hoping not.,too hot for me.

[cassiesmom]

A thunderstorm came through overnight with a cold front. 51F right now, cloudy and windy. They're saying low 40s overnight. Fall is definitely here.

[Karen]

Today was only 54°F at the highest - so "freezing!!!" in Paul's estimation! I am enjoying my first mug of hot tea for the season - that's really one of those signs of fall for me!

That, and that there are suddenly Chrysanthemums at the supermarket! I guess that's how city folks note the changing of the seasons!

[chocolatepuppy]

Bye bye summer!:D High of 51*F today! I absolutely love fall!

[cassiesmom]

It's 47F out tonight. They're predicting rain and wind with temps in the mid 40s tomorrow, but the wind might make it feel even colder. I remember Halloweens when I had to wear a heavy coat over my costume trick-or-treating.

[pomtzu]

The 40's today, but the wind makes it feel a lot colder. I'll take the colder weather over the hot and humid muck, but hate the wind with the cold and it makes me feel like a popsicle! Had a lot of that last winter - hope the wind isn't too bad this winter. Yesterday was miserable - cold, windy and rain all day - so stayed in the house and did a lot of nothing all day except eat and watch t.v. - when Wolfman and I weren't napping. :love:;)

[Karen]

Does this answer your question?

[chocolatepuppy]

I was snowing here in NE Ohio last night! ;)

[cassiesmom]

Oh, friends who live further east! I saw a story on the news tonight about wind, rain and snow in the eastern U.S. Please be safe and warm!

[Catty1]

Saturday November 8, 2014:

Tonight
Becoming cloudy this evening with 60 percent chance of rain showers late this evening. Snow beginning near midnight. Risk of freezing rain late this evening. Snowfall amount 5 cm (2 inches). Wind west 30 km/h gusting to 50 becoming light late this evening. Wind becoming southeast 20 gusting to 40 before morning. Low minus 6 (21.2 F).

Sunday

[Bonny]

25 degrees F this morning with a good 2 inches of our first snow of the season.

[Catty1]

-24 this morning (-11.2 F). Snow is here to stay! :eek:

[kaycountrygal]

Nov 12 2014
Here in central NC, it's 70 today--beautiful. Now ask me again tomorrow/ night;is an Artic front on the way and Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun it's supposed to be COLD COLD. I dread having to put on coat, gloves, tobogan for my head. Takes so long to get ready to take the little ones outside. Poor LilGirl always does her bathroom quickly outside and then runs to her "daddy" to pick her up & put her in his coat. Miss Sissy Pom seems to ignore cold weather. Maybe it's because she has more layers of hair than LilGirl.

[Karen]

It is fairly warm today (acknowledging all things are relative) at 58°F but the cold is due Thursday evening, I hear!

[pomtzu]

Not COLD - but summer has definitely departed. It's about 60 right now - lookin at the 50's tomorrow, and then the 40's after that. Into next week it isn't supposed to get out of the 30's some days. I like it - just don't like having to get the shoes and warm jacket on every time Wolfy decides he wants to go out. He's good tho - he can go forever before he has to "go". Every night it's at least 12 hours - goes out for the last time around 6:30 p.m. since he doesn't like being out too long in the dark, and my flashlight doesn't lite up the whole back 1.5 acres for him :rolleyes:, so he doesn't lollygag around much, and then we don't go out till around 7 the next morning. He must have an extra large holding tank. :eek::D

[Randi]

We have 11 degrees Celsius, and it's past 9 PM. :)

[cassiesmom]

32F at 2 in the afternoon, and windy. More like December than November.

[Asiel]

23 F with a snow and ice storm... along with a gusty North wind it makes standing or walking outside quite tricky.

[cassiesmom]

15F (-9C) with wind from the west at 30 miles per hour. It just feels really cold outside today.

[Karen]

15F (-9C) with wind from the west at 30 miles per hour. It just feels really cold outside today.

Wow, we have had pouring rain most of the day, I awoke to the sound of it this morning, and it has been either raining or drown-pouring all day, so I knew it was above freezing! It is currently 38F (3C) with flood watch in effect until 11 p.m. tonight, but we are up on a hill, so the flood part doesn't really apply to us much! All the bodies of water are well downhill from us!

I will, however, have to dump out the pumpkin tomorrow, as the squirrels have eaten it down to basically a bowl shape, although the water cannot fill it too much - it's leak out of the mouth I carved for the jack-o-lantern on Halloween!

[pomtzu]

Had rain all day and high was around 50. Tonight the bottom drops out tho, and temps take a serious dive and the wind picks up. Tomorrow is supposed to be a high of 32 with wind chills in the teens. Lows tonight in the 20's or high teens. Cold is fine with me - but I can't handle it when it is windy too. I'll be hibernating inside tomorrow.

[chocolatepuppy]

18°F FEELS LIKE 3° Too cold for mid November! We also have a few inches of snow.

[mrspunkysmom]

40s in the daytime, but gets to 20s and low 30 at night. Not fun.

[chocolatepuppy]

10°F FEELS LIKE -6° As I head out for work today. Oh yeah!:rolleyes:

[Grace]

9.1° when I got up this morning. Wind chill well below zero.

[pomtzu]

COLD as predicted. Feels more like January.

[RICHARD]

It's 2........2 cold!!

[Lady's Human]

You've heard of the band Three dog night?

According to Angel it's a three blanket afternoon. COLD and windy.

[chocolatepuppy]

You've heard of the band Three dog night?


I've got two dog nights going on here, maybe need one more dog!:D

13°F FEELS LIKE -5°

[cassiesmom]

19F (-5C) with wind chill 6F in Chicago tonight. 60 percent chance of snow around here tomorrow.


I've got two dog nights going on here, maybe need one more dog!:D
Hi, Jake and Layla! :love: :love:

[mrspunkysmom]

Twenty-one right now. Colder than it should be. a lot for this time a year. it's supposed to get down to 19. I surprised they haven't issued a freeze warning.

Too dang cold.

[chocolatepuppy]

19F (-5C) with wind chill 6F in Chicago tonight. 60 percent chance of snow around here tomorrow.


Hi, Jake and Layla! :love: :love:


Jake and Layla say hi back at ya Elise! Stay warm! :)

[Karen]

Here is a picture from 3 days ago - I posted in the Dog House for Richard, but this is what November looks like around here!

http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/attachment.php?attachmentid=58907&d=1416451272

Bitter cold last night, just cold tonight, all the water in the "umbrella holder" froze solid last night and stayed that way all day, but the water for the birds at least gets some sun, so thawed a little! It is currently 27F, -3C here!

[mrspunkysmom]

It's supposed to be 52 F tomorrow, which will fell downright balmy. It was 19 last night, and will be 28 F tonight.

[mrspunkysmom]

After nights in the upper teens and low 20s, tonight will be around 39. It will feel rather warm. I hope I don't bake myself with the heater. 50% chance of rain, too which is probably why it's warmer.

The days are still in the 50s. Welcome to the South.

[cassiesmom]

32F (zero degrees C), winds from the southwest at 12 miles per hour. It's supposed to be back up in the 40s tomorrow. PTers east of me, I hope you are all safe, warm and dry! We've seen scary snowy weather on the news and there were flights cancelled at both Midway and O'Hare.

[pomtzu]

Too darn cold and windy. It will be in the low 20's to high teens tonight. It got to around 30-35 today, but the wind went right thru me. HATE the wind when it's combined with cold. Brrrrrrrr

[Bonny]

25 degrees F this morning & a heat wave today in the 40's then a cold wave coming with single digits predicted. An early winter with about 5 inches of snow, lots of corn in the fields yet, slow harvest this fall.

[Vette]

Its been unusually warm so far. on Thanksgiving day it was warm enough not to wear long sleeves or have a fire going till way late at night.

[Catty1]

The severe cold warning is over now. We are at -11 F at 3:45 pm and will be a balmy -24F overnight. At least the heavy snow has stopped. Whew!:)

[Catty1]

It's going to start warming up here next week - we'll get to 0 C or +32F.

Tonight the wind chill will take it down to -40C, which is the same temperature in F. The actual temp without wind chill is a balmy -29C. YEEEKS!:eek:

[phesina]

YIKES!!! YOWEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

BRRRRrrrrr. :love::love::love:

[cassiesmom]

50F (10C), bright and sunny in Chicago today! Yesterday was chilly, grey and rainy all day - today is a delight!

[momcat]

It's now 10.00 pm here in Trenton on Christmas Eve and it's a tropical 61 degrees. Ugh! :mad: :eek:

[chocolatepuppy]

Cold New Years Eve here in Ohio! 20°F Feels Like 7° Going down to 7°. Wind chill will probably be below zero!

[Karen]

Yup, cold here, too - which made me happy for the ice sculptors working on things for Boston's First Night celebration! Currently 13°F, "feels like" -11 °F !

[Bonny]

12 degrees F with sour bone chilling winds tonight. The wood stove motor is humming, & I am wrapped up in my flannel blanket with wool socks on my feet & fleece jacket to keep me warm. May have to make up some hot chocolate for a warmer upper. January 2015 the coldest month of the year will be here in another 3 hours. Bring it on !!!!

[Felicia's Mom]

We are under a winter storm warning. It is going to start snowing later this afternoon and continue all night. 4-6" of snow are expected.

[Karen]

Warm here - well, 33°F - above freezing counts as warm in January in Massachusetts, I think! But snow is a possibility, more for tomorrow than today!

[cassiesmom]

It's a balmy 3 degrees F (-17 centigrade) in Chicago this afternoon. Brrrr!

[chocolatepuppy]

8*F here in Ohio feels like -3*

[Karen]

The wind certainly arrived this afternoon, the parking spaces that don't have cars in them are full of hundreds of seed pods from the trees lining it! Right now it is 17°F (-8°C) but "feels like" -17°F with the windchill.

[cassiesmom]

It's 6F (-14C) this afternoon. I know December 2014 was mild compared to December 2013, but oh boy, it's cold out today.

[chocolatepuppy]

12* here, going down to 7* tonight! It's going to get worse next few days. :(

[Litterati]

Unbelievably cold and getting colder still, like -25 degrees Celsius Wed/Thurs factoring in wind chill factor. And sidewalks are frozen solid, like sheet ice. Joy unbounded - not! :eek:

[momcat]

Here in Trenton it's 22 degrees and it's snowing. If anyone would like to join us here in the tropics, let me know and I'll put the coffee on.

[mrspunkysmom]

We're about 20 degrees warmer right now, but tomorrow night it will get down to 13. Most of our kids and some adults do not have the weather gear for this weather.

I stocked up on Kerosene for the next few days.

[Litterati]

Sounds like a plan Momcat! As by tomorrow (Wed) night we will be enjoying the degree of "feels like" -27 Farenheit. Just give me a few minutes to scare up my summer gear. ;)

Well, it's now all of 14 degrees and sinking like a stone. Our weatherman, Hurricane Schwartz, is saying it will feels like -4 F. in the morning when my son has to leave for work. One of the perks of being retired - I don't have to go out. :)

[mrspunkysmom]

It's a balmy 3 degrees F (-17 centigrade) in Chicago this afternoon. Brrrr!

yikes

Many of the schools in the Chicago area will be closed tomorrow for student safety. I hope Soncat will get a snow day! (with pay!)

[Randi]

Wow, you really get snow and cold over there, don't you! So much so it reached the news on TV here.

I'm seeing a mostly blue sky here, and we have plus 5C right now. Quite spring like. Think I'll clean my windows. :)

[pomtzu]

Like "momcat" said - BRRRR COLD in our neck of the woods. Coldest weather so far of this year's winter season, and feeling like it did last year at this time. But last year we had already had almost 2 feet of snow, but next to nothing so far this year. Had a coupe of inches yesterday, and also a couple about 2 weeks before Christmas - that's it so far.

The wind is making it feel even colder than it really is, and tomorrow is supposed to be even colder. I like the cold - just not the wind that sometimes goes along with it. It's supposed to warm to more normal temps by the weekend - in the 30's. We probably won't see Niagara Falls freeze like last year. :eek:

[kaycountrygal]

Jan 7 2015
You all will probably laugh at me when I say we are going to have our coldest weather of the season at 10 degrees tonight and maybe 28 high tomorrow. The high today was 35 & it's dropping as time passes. 10 degrees is COLD--for us anyway!! We're not used to 10 degrees at night. We do not have any snow at all and none is expected in central North Carolina where I live. Hopefully this cold spell will not last very long.

[Lady's Human]

It's 1.

The forecast is for a high of 1 F and a low of -4 F.

Not to say that someone is COLD with her short-furred pitty body, but we went outside for her morning piddle, and she barely stopped. Down to the lawn piddle, and looped back to the porch, barely pausing to look at me and say "Dad, you coming?".

Wolfy LOVES the cold and the snow, and would stay out and run and romp - if only he could talk Mom into it!!!!! We were just outside for only about 5 minutes, and I had to drag him in. He was having a grand old time racing around like a crazy fool. :) I would stay out and let him play longer - but the wind is too much for this skinny pile of bones that has no fat on them to stay warm.

The school system here has already called a 2hour delay for the start of school tomorrow - forecast is just way too cold to have kids standing out in the still partial darkness waiting for their bus. :eek:

[Karen]

Strangely, it is not THAT cold here - but my choir director has called off rehearsal for tomorrow night! In a heated building ... ah well ...

It is currently 18°F (which is -8C) with wind chill of minus one °F, but is supposed to warm into the twenties tomorrow afternoon!

[chocolatepuppy]

5°F Feels Like -11° :rolleyes:

[Asiel]

This morning it was - 37C...felt like -55 with the windchill. We had a severe weather warning about frostbite, all shelters were open and they asked the homeless to come in out of the cold. Some just prefer to huddle outside under steps, bridges or what not, just don't know how they survive. Tonight is supposed to be colder and another cold day with high winds tomorrow... But we are way ahead of the game with the snow... we only have about 4 ft this year...hope it stays that way.

[Karen]

Just was out running a couple errands. It is now 4°F, -16°C and we won't even talk about the wind chill! ;)

Cold sharp air just makes
Coming home even warmer
Hot tea more welcome

I love the neighbors
Who still plug in Christmas lights
Post-Epiphany

Colored lights brighter
In dry, frigid air, twinkle
When bitter wind blows

[todd]

i thank its 3°F

[Karen]

i thank its 3°F

I just checked - it is officially -2°F /-19°C here! Inside, I am toasty warm, though!

[chocolatepuppy]

2°F Feels Like -15° in Ohio. :(

[Bonny]

-3 degrees F windchill -14 degrees F Buuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrr!

[pomtzu]

Too darn cold to be outside today ! I already gave Wolfy fair warning that there wouldn't be much play time outside, and he had better not lollygag around on his potty breaks. It was sooooooo cold when we went out at 6:30 this a.m. Thankfully, he has an extra large holding tank, and can seemingly go forever and not do anything in the house. He goes at least 12 hours from his last break at night - all the way to his first break the following morning. He's such a good boy in that department - too bad he couldn't work a little harder to overcome his food addiction. :p

[lizbud]

It's 1 degree in Indy. -17 wind chill. COLD I had to tempt Maggie with a treat to come back inside this morning. Smokey didn't need coaxing at all.:)

[smokey the elder]

Two nights ago our furnace was struggling...there was a small clog in the heat exchanger. Got it fixed just in time for 5 deg F/"I don't want to know" below 0 wind chill.;)

[Karen]

It's warming up here - all the way up to 17°F -8°C

[pomtzu]

It actually didn't feel all that bad here this afternoon. The wind died down and the sun was bright, and it felt warmer than it did yesterday - even tho the thermometer said it was colder. It's 16F right now with a wind chill of 7F.

[kaycountrygal]

Thurs night
Jan 8 2015
It was 8 degrees this morning at 7am & got to a high of 24 this afternoon with a breeze too. Tonight and tomorrow are to be cold but not as bad as last night and today. I tell you we did not waste any time with the little dogs outside... did our business quickly and back inside.

[Karen]

It was warmer today, and we had some nice snow. Yes, for those who live in more southern climes, there is such a thing as "too cold to snow." It's back down to 11°F /-12°C but at least it is a positive number!

[chocolatepuppy]

-2°F Feels Like -16° We'll have a sunny 14° day for today!:D

[Karen]

Today is a balmy 22°F! Every trace of yesterday's birdseed was gone she I put more out today, no wondering why that was!

Still, I am hoping it stays cold enough that Monday's anticipated storm is snow, not sleet or ice. I would much much rather shovel snow than push slush! and would rather deal with slush than ice!

[cassiesmom]

17F (-8C) tonight but not nearly as windy as the last couple of days. We are supposed to reach 30F on Friday and Saturday, though.

[Karen]

6°F /-14°C - good night for hot tea for sure! We had rain on Sunday, so now the back yard is all ice wherever puddles formed. Frozen ground does not absorb much water!

[mrspunkysmom]

32 F tonight of 0C. This is much warmer than the past week, although the rain makes it feel freezing.

[chocolatepuppy]

1°F Feels Like -9° :(

[Karen]

Today, the charming combination of drizzle and cold - so pebbly ice covering every surface! 21°F and slick!

[cassiesmom]

It's above freezing! Time to go to the car wash! 35F (2C) and partly sunny, how nice to get a break from the very cold weather for a few days.

[Karen]

28°F -2°C and snowy here, not a lot, but enough snow and ice to cover everything. Tomorrow it is predicted to get above freezing - by 1 whole degree! Ha!

[chocolatepuppy]

Will be 0* tonight with a wind chill around -10* :(

[cassiesmom]

Currently 27f (-3C). Weather forecast is for rain starting tomorrow afternoon changing to snow overnight. I thought about going to the car wash since it's above freezing, but not if it's going to be sloppy again the next few days. Yesterday we had rain that changed to freezing rain and then to snow, that was messy.

[Karen]

Here, I am about to go out and reshovel, as the snow seems to be mostly over and the wind has died down, so I checked the temps - it is currently 13°F (-11C) with a wind chill of -3°F(-19C). So I will try wearing mittens over my gloves, and see how long I last!

[Karen]

Didn't end up going out then, as it turns put the snow was not done, and we are supposed to get another 1-3 inches by dawn, so might as well wait! And the added bonus is that the snow that has drifted in front of the door will block the usual draft, so i might as well not open that door and spoil that part for tonight!

[Karen]

Last night before I went to bed it was -2F° (-19° C), so today's 19°F seems downright balmy! Even the birds are more relaxed about eating today, so that's a good sign.

[chocolatepuppy]

Was -4*F before I went to bed last night! Warming up some this week.

[phesina]

Oh, that's funny, Karen...

This has stood out in my mind for years, a radio weather comment on a winter's day not long after I'd come back to Michigan. The day after a stretch of very cold days, the announcer said "It's a balmy 19 out today!"

[mrspunkysmom]

Last night before I went to bed it was -2F° (-19° C), so today's 19°F seems downright balmy! Even the birds are more relaxed about eating today, so that's a good sign.

Oh, that's funny. I have the same thoughts and have said the same thing down here in SC. After days in the 30s and nights in the low 20s, 40-something feels balmy, downright balmy. I just wear a heavy sweater.

I can't imagine -2F temperatures.

[Karen]

It's all relative! A little snow today, more tonight, then more tomorrow night into Monday, so today's 26°F didn't look as warm as it might have otherwise! So when I went outside I put mittens on, but once I was out there, I realized there was no need for them whatsoever!

[kaycountrygal]

Feb 8 2015
I'm just shaking my head reading these comments about SNOW and how cold your temps are or have been--amazing! I'm in central North Carolina and we have yet to have a real snow this season, just some flurries this winter. So far it has been a very mild winter here; we usually have at least one snow of 4"-6"inches-not feet (don't laugh) and/OR some bad sleets/freezing rain. I can't help but wonder if Feb & March are going to be the "real winter". I've had robins in the yard for two weeks and daffodils are poking their green tops up. I'm afraid the birds & flowers etc are going to think spring is here and then boom the cold temps and snow comes.

I hope all of you with lots of snow or rain will be ok.

Today it was an unseasonably warm 72 and broke a record set in 1925. The next 10 days are for 50's & 40's & back to 50's with some teens at night.

[Karen]

Yeah, pour weather lately has been reminding me of the old Christmas carol, "In the bleak midwinter" that includes the phrase, "Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow ..."

[Karen]

Just got back inside, and feeling has returned to my fingers. I cleaned off the car for Paul to run an errand, and only a couple inches of snow had fallen, but it is bitter cold out there. It is amusing that the redacted low for tonight is 13°F, but by the time I cam back in, the temperature had dropped another degree to 10°F (-12°C), with a wind chill of -5°F(-21C). You'd think they'd have someone update the forecast to at least account for the fact that the temperature is already below the lowest low they predicted!

It's all powder now, as it is so cold, so when the wind gusts hit, everything drifts again. Of course the taller-than-me snowbanks are frozen pretty solid, so at least they are not moving!

[mrspunkysmom]

It's actually normal winter right now. 30s in the evening and night, occasional drops to the 20s, with high 40s and 50s in the day. It is windy though.

[Karen]

It has been snowing all day here - since yesterday afternoon, actually, and is now about 14°F (-10°C) which is warmer than yesterday! The birds are very busy with the seed I put out!

From earlier today:

Monday mourning doves
Shelter from the storm on our
Dormant bicycles

The hush of snowfall
Is disturbed when I open
My blinds, let light in

Apologizing
I set out generous plates
Bird seed offering

Now they feast again
I sip my cooling tea, peace
On a stormy day

[Taz_Zoee]

Cold?? What's that? Sometimes it's annoying living in California. We were recently hit with a "storm". The definition of storm here on the West Coast is rain.
We had some rain and actually a little wind last night. Ok, the wind was a problem for me (and Zeplyn). But nothing like what others are dealing with around the world.

Oh, and btw the temps are in the 60s! I do feel sorry for my PT family that is being hit hard with horrible weather. You are welcome to come out and visit me!! :)

Paul would move there in a heartbeat if things were different! Some winters - it has not come up yet this year, he looks at me, and says, "Florida or Southern California?"

[cassiesmom]

It's currently 27F (-3C). Partly cloudy tomorrow, chance of freezing rain tomorrow changing to snow on Wednesday. Forecast is for the temps to stay around 20-25F through Wednesday. I'm tired of a heavy coat and scarf, mittens and boots - but the northeast has had it a lot worse than we have around here, especially the past couple of weeks. So I can't complain.

[chocolatepuppy]

14°F Feels Like 5° Everything outside is ice. Just ice.:( Warming up some today and tomorrow, maybe we can get rid of some of the ice.

[Taz_Zoee]

Having lived in California (Northern) all my life and having visited Florida once, I'd choose California. Florida is just too humid/muggy for me.
We have cold weather (rarely, but sometimes) like when it was in the 20s and I found the Chihuahua on my porch. This winter was just dry and warm for some reason.

Even Southern California is always much warmer than the Bay Area (San Francisco) where I live. That's why we go to Disneyland in January. :)

Well, Worcester, the city where my niece lives, and my older brother works, just was granted the title of the Snowiest City in America! It is lightly snowing now, which is kinda funny, as this was supposed to be the day without snow between the storms!

Relatively warm here today, 24°F, with air snow, but they are predicting a deep freeze Friday. and then another "major" storm for Sunday!

[chocolatepuppy]

Stay warm and safe!



Thanks Karen, I hope everyone stays safe and warm!
It's -4°F Feels Like -4° here as I head out to work. At least no wind chill, so not too bad. :rolleyes:

[Karen]

Earlier today it was 6°F - and got all the way up to its current 13°F (-11°C) (wind chill at -3°F[-19C])

The media is all tizzy as we are predicted to get another blizzard this weekend, we'll see what happens, but the next town over, where my church is located, has already declared a parking ban for Saturday and Sunday, so unless that changes, I am betting church will be called off.

[phesina]

To all our friends of all species, good wishes and hopes and prayers that you all stay safe and warm what with all this snow and cold.

(I wish I could do something more than just send along good wishes..)

Parking Ban?

Our temps will seem balmy to you. Today it got up to 37F, but all this weekend and next week the night temps will be in the upper teens and low twenties. This is cold for us.

[cassiesmom]

Right now it's 25F (-4C), but with the wind chill it feels like 13F. Snow is predicted for tomorrow, Sunday and Monday with highs around 15F both tomorrow and Sunday. I am so ready for a break in the weather. This has been a long week.

[Karen]

Parking Ban?

Yes, in these old New England town and cities, with streets laid out by following cow paths, dodging swaps, etc, long before civil engineering nd street planning was a "thing" end up banning on-street parking for storms, simply so they can plow safely. The streets are already much narrowed by the [previous storms' snowbanks, and they are running out of places to put the excess! Running errands today, I ended up waiting for 5 minutes as a guy in a Fedex truck stopped in the middle of the street, put on his flashers and delivered a package - thank heavens he apparently didn't need a signature! There was nowhere for him to pull over or off the road, and the road was down o=to one land of navigable space.

I got a call less than an hour ago, my own city, Waltham, is having a parking ban staring at ten p.m. Saturday night, but they at least list alternative places for folks to park if they need it!

[chocolatepuppy]

In my little town, they have street signs (that are up all year)warning you not to park on the street when there is any accumulation of snow.
This is because they will be plowing the streets.

[Karen]

The snow started falling a couple hours ago, we are supposed to get 12" to 14" or more, or less, depending on what station you listen to. There's not much wind yet, that's supposed to come later, and the storm will intensify overnight. The little birds (juncos and sparrows) cleaned off two plates of seed from late this morning, I put out more. I haven;t seen the mourning doves yet, they may be sheltering in the hedge until they have to eat!

Church tomorrow has been cancelled, so has a lot of everything else in this end of the state! The bigger weather news is after the storm, the temps are supposed to drop like a rock, it is now 21°F (-13C) but is supposed to drop below zero Sunday night into Monday, with winds making it feel like -25 to -35°F (-32 to -36C).

[chocolatepuppy]

5°F Feels Like -13° :rolleyes: We has about 3" of snow today on top of the 14" we already had.
At least it was warmer earlier so the dogs got some play time.;)

[chocolatepuppy]

-5°F Feels Like -23° Luckily, no snow overnight!

[kaycountrygal]

Sunday Feb 15 2015
What a night! The wind blew hard (at times 50 mph near me) all night long and today to be 20 mph. The lights flickered but managed to stay on here but some are without power. At last we're to get SNOW and/or a mix Monday night and Tuesday. The high for the next four days is 28 or so. Right now it is 14 and with wind it feels like -2. We will not be outside very long with the little girls. George loves it though; he loves to run in the wind.

Later today I'll get a big bag of sunflower seeds for the birds. I have some but not enough. Hope everybody stays safe.... Kay in NC

[Karen]

Glad you are all safe! And that you still have power, that's always a worry with wind storms, no matter the temperatures.

It is still snowing and blowing here, hard too tell how much we have gotten, but it looks like the snow has reached the spot on the little tree where the trunk splits into 2 branches, so there must be at least about 4 feet of snow back there!

The intense cold has not hit yet, we are all the way up to 18°F(-7 C) out there!

[momcat]

Here in Trenton we woke up to about 4" of snow and they're promising more tomorrow and later in the week. Right now it's 8 degrees with windchill that makes it feel more like 10 below, nobody on our street is outside.

Indy had those high winds yesterday. Every time I opened the back door to let the dogs out, the wind nearly blew the back door off. I had to grip the doorknob
with both hands.:eek: The winds have calmed down today but it's still cold & no snow. 13 degrees, feels like 2 degrees.

I'm really over this whole Winter thing by now & can't wait for Spring.:)

[Grace]

As I write this, it is 15.7 ° BELOW zero. The coldest we've ever had while living here was back in 1994 - one January morning it was MINUS 27 degrees.

[Lady's Human]

At home it's -10F. Here in warm, tropical Syracuse, it's a balmy +3F

[RICHARD]

It's 2.

2 Cold!!!

At 6am this morning it was 21 below.

Dreamed I was an Eskimo
Frozen wind began to blow
Under my boots and around my toes
The frost that bit the ground below
It was a hundred degrees below zero

And my mama cried
And my mama cried
Nanook, a-no-no
Nanook, a-no-no
Don't be a naughty Eskimo
Save your money, don't go to the show

Well I turned around and I said oh, oh oh
Well I turned around and I said oh, oh oh
Well I turned around and I said ho, ho
And the northern lights commenced to glow
And she said, with a tear in her eye
Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow
Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow

- Frank Zappa

[Karen]

Does this answer the question? Yes, those are all footy prints in the snow - squirrels. birds, and even Ilsa - a baby bunny that has been coming by lately - we've only seen her once, but she often leaves tracks!

Okay, technically, it is relatively warm, +19°F but the sun does not reach that spot, just the wind!

[RICHARD]

I live at the bottom of a gradual hill and the road goes up across and down again, The most entertaining thing is to watch cars TRY to navigate up and over.

A red dually truck came by fishtailing it's way up the hill, he finally had to make a U and come back down.

I started to come inside when the lady next door came around the corner, so we BOTH stood there and laughed at him.

[cassiesmom]

17F with a wind chill of 6F, but it is supposed to be at least that cold or colder for the rest of the week in Chicagoland. It looks like a week for a heavy coat, hat, mittens and lots of layers of clothes. It's 84F in Australia today, wish I could just board an airplane and go! I heard on the radio that the starting point for the Iditarod (sp?) race was moved three hundred miles away from where they had planned it, because of not enough snow. The announcer joked that they have enough snow in Massachusetts for the race right now :)

[chocolatepuppy]

-5°F It was colder, but I'm running a little late.;)

Was actually -13* Work shift was delayed due to some equipment freezing up. Imagine that!:rolleyes:


Today a bit warmer at -9* as I head out to work.;)

The average high for Chicago in mid-February is around 35-38F. Tomorrow the forecast is for a high of 10F (brrrrr!) and Thursday 2F. Then it's back up into the 20s with snow for the weekend. The groundhog saw his shadow and we have definitely had a few more weeks of winter since then.

It's 80F and sunny in St. Thomas, USVI today, wish I was there!

[RICHARD]

How cold is it where I am?

-----

The local government has held new pressers to keep people informed as to what services - snow removal, plowing and schools - are being affected.

There has been no school since last Friday and the school superintendent has been at the broadcasts letting parents know there is no school scheduled for the next few days.

One day she asked the kids 'to read anything' while they were at home.

Yesterday, she said something about "mukluks".

As the Mayor came back to the lectern, he looked around and said, "I don't know what 'mukluks' are....."


Back at the TV station, the anchors said, "MUKLUKS?"

They cut back to the Mayor and when his spiel was over, the male anchor said, "I looked up 'mukluks' and all I found was something about a seal skinned Eskimo boot!".

-----

I was laughing my butt off during all of this and yelling at the screen, "MUKLUKS ARE COLD WEATHER BOOTS!!!"

Here I am, a SoCal kid, grew up in 70 degree, year round weather and I knew what 'mukluks' are?

That is how cold it is!!!!!!:eek:;)

[mrspunkysmom]

Well, it hit 8 degrees last night. it was 12 when I awoke. It's now 25. We get a repeat tonight. Most of us do not have winter gear. I do, but I'm strange.

School is in session but delayed. The students would get frostbite waiting on the school bus. Hopefully this extreme cold will kill off some of the fire ants. BRRRRR

It's a great day to burrow under blankets and watch old movies.

We might get more of the wet stuff.

[smokey the elder]

They've been delaying school opening in Poughkeepsie because a lot of the kids walk to school. I'm kind of two minds about this: the 9 year old mind waiting for the bus when it was this cold, and wish they had delayed school; and the "get off my lawn" mind that says cowboy up, I did it, so can you! :D

[cassiesmom]

Heat wave! It's up to 7F (-14C) with lovely bright sunshine ... but the wind chill is still -7F. When I left for work this morning it was below zero.

LOL, kinda like walking down hill and sledding back up or the old, I walked to school uphill, both ways.

[RICHARD]

LOLOLOL, as it SHOULD be!

0°F Feels Like -10° :rolleyes:

[todd]

its cold -4 F

I used to laugh at the news clips of people walking around in single digit weather, all wadded up in nylon, cotton and spandex.

What do they say about 'pay back'?

I got into the car, drove it for about a mile and a half up the street when I realized the AC was on.

The AC was WARMER than the 'Heat' setting in the car.

I got to my destination and the car STILL wasn't warm....:eek:

[momcat]

At 10.00pm it's all of 10 degrees here in Trenton though the best is yet to come. Temperatures will continue to drop during the overnight and we'll have a record setting 1 degree by morning commute time. Counting the wind chill, it will feel like -19 below.

[chocolatepuppy]

-20* F who cares about wind chill? :(

This morning at 730am it was 4 degrees. That broke the previous record of 14. We have a breeze so it's equiv to -6. The high yesterday was 22. High for today is to be 25. Not normal for us.

I'm in central NC and we are not accustomed to such cold temps. On Monday of this week we had 1"snow then sleet and freezing rain on top of it and because it's been so cold, we still have the frozen white mixture in part of our long drive that is in the shade. I'll be glad when spring gets here. Robins were in the yard three weeks ago. If they left and came back, they came back too soon.

[Karen]

Figured I would check the temperature, as all 8 of the morning doves that live here - and are rarely seen feeding together in more than 2 or three at a bunch - are all gathered around the two plates of seed now that I refilled them.

It is currently 9°F (-13°C), but the wind chill is at -9°F (-23°C)!

[Randi]

You sure have the winter over there! We've had an extremely warm winter this year. Hardly any snow. :)

It felt like it was above freezing this afternoon, so I spent some time carving the snow bank back before the next storm came, and gained 2 more feet of parking room for my car. I then came inside and checked - it was actually 28°F(-2.2°C), and so was not even above freezing, it just felt that was as I have become so accustomed to bitter cold temperatures! Just checked, that was the height, is has now dropped to 26°F (-4C) and is snowing again!

[chocolatepuppy]

Heat wave here in NE Ohio! 29°F Feels Like 29° :D We've had maybe 4-5" of snow since early morning.:rolleyes:

[Freckles]

Temperature is now zero in Decorah, Iowa where the bald eagles now have two eggs in the nest. :D

[Karen]

Oh, how cool, Freckles - do they have a nest camera online?


Today it was above freezing for the first time in weeks, so lots of melting - and condensing of the snow pack. Now, though, the temperate is dropping again, back down to 27°F(-4C) on its way down to a predicted 17°F this evening, and even further to about 9°F by morning! Very very drippy today!

0* with a wind chill of -10*

[Felicia's Mom]

- 5F, wind chill -20F

[Asiel]

- 27C and going down to -35 or colder tonight. The wind chill is -48 C. The week is supposed to stay around -35 and the forecast is saying this cold will last through March. They also said more blowing snow tonight... We all should be used to this by now but somehow it never gets easier...

[chocolatepuppy]

I can't remember this mornings temp, I think -4*. Tonight? -10* :rolleyes:

[smokey the elder]

Too darn cold...-6 deg F this AM.

[Felicia's Mom]

19*F with snow.

[mbsmum]

In Zürich, it is sunny and 7 C degrees plus.

[Karen]

In Zürich, it is sunny and 7 C degrees plus.

Sounds balmy, even!

Earlier today it was 33°F ( +1C) - a smidge above freezing!!! Last time it will do that for a week, according to my forecast!

[Vette]

Says its 44°F but the wind chill is making it feel -20.
so glad the snow is finally all gone. so far....

[Karen]

I wonder how many tunnels critters will have dug in our snowbank before it finally melts! We now have two bunny ones and a squirrel one!

It is 17°F(-7C) today, so no melting now!

[chocolatepuppy]

Going down to -7* tonight. 13* for a high tomorrow!

[Felicia's Mom]

Now it is -18*F, not counting windchill.

[Karen]

Still nippy here today - it looked much warmer out than it was, for sure! It got all the way up to 25°F(-4) but is now back down to 19°(-9C) with the potential to drop to zero or below tonight!

[chocolatepuppy]

-13* this morning. Going to warm up! And then we'll have a snow storm!

[Karen]

March begins softly
The hush of evening snowfall
Blankets grey snowbanks

"It’s just touch-up snow,"
I tell anyone who is
Glum, “Makes it look clean.”

Still my heart is glad
Snow falls and my spirits rise
Yes, even in March

Currently 25°F (-4C) and the projected total has been updated from "little to no accumulation" to 2"-4" overnight.

[cassiesmom]

Not quite so harshly cold tonight. It is midnight and still 15F out. I got home from church and grocery shopping about 8 and it didn't feel as bitterly cold as the past several days.

[Karen]

It was up to 34°F today, which meant melting - puddles everywhere! I got gas standing in a puddle, but there was still large snowpile it was from, so it's not like they could have mopped it up or anything!

Back down in the twenties and dropping down to an expected 9°F tonight, but the big messy day will probably be Wednesday, when it is supposed to be 42 degrees and raining!

[Felicia's Mom]

29*F with sleet, freezing rain and ice.

[Karen]

29*F with sleet, freezing rain and ice.

That's what is headed our way, this evening into tomorrow, though it is now just 28°F here, and dropping, so we will see if the projected temperature rise happens that will change the snow to sleet ....

[cassiesmom]

We're having a heat wave! 34F (+1 C)! Seriously, it doesn't feel so harshly cold out today. It's supposed to be sunny tomorrow but not as warm, then back in the 30s again over the weekend - which is good because I'd really like to take my grimy car to the car wash.

Our weather in central NC is crazy up & down. Yesterday it was 38 high, today's high was 70 (normal would be 55), tomorrow 45 & dropping temps and tomorrow night we could have a freezing mix (sleet, fr rain, snow). Friday it is supposed to be in the 50's which is normal for here this time of year. Today's 70 felt so good!!

[Karen]

Today it was a melting day (reprise of the ditty*) as it was well above freezing, it got all the way up 42°F () but it is now dropping and will go back down to 25°F tonight, so all the puddles that happened today will become skating rinks! And stay that way ... this was apparently a one-off!

Kay, did you see the thread yesterday about the Giant Snow Cat in Archdale, NC? - http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?187909-Here-s-a-Giant-Snow-Cat!

[mrspunkysmom]

It got to 66 this afternoon. While out I saw some people out with hoodies and jackets. I felt like stopping them. I mean 66 today felt more than just balmy. It was nice and warm.

Thanks for telling me about this snow cat. I had not seen it before now; it's huge. No doubt that took a long time to make and it turned out great. We might get a small wintery mix tonight. I'll be glad when spring gets here. I don't know how you folks with big amounts of snow make it through the winter.

[chocolatepuppy]

Going down to -4* tonight, then a nice warm up headed our way!:D
