How cold is it where you are?

[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!

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.

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!

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.

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

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?"

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.

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.

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!
