Title: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: wimc on Jan 06, 2013, 01:03:15 PM
Open and ready.

How the road and my car looks this morning. More freezing rain on the road than car.

That road looks like a sheet if ice! It was cold here this morning.  The outside temp was 34 when I woke up but by the time I got started to work the temperature on the truck said 29.  I had to scrape ice off the windshield.  It definitely wasn't frost.  We are supposed to have another cold night tonight with about 32 for the low and then start to warm up some.

What a change, temp is 42 I think and light rain, breezy at times.

Freezing rain is gone, snow that we had last week is slowly disappearing with this warming. But do for more snow sometime Wednesday and lasting all weekend, so they say (weather people).

It's going to be 70 here this weekend.    Wonder if that will be a record.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: Tina on Jan 07, 2013, 04:32:43 PM
The rains are gone but the winds have arrived. Cool winds. It is 55* outside and that will be our high today.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: sunsoaker on Jan 07, 2013, 06:37:43 PM
Supposed to be 70 by the weekend here too. We had sun today!! First time in about a week. Too bad I had to be at work. It's supposed to cloud back up with 20% chance of rain but warm more each day. It hit 60 today.

here too!
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: Tina on Jan 07, 2013, 11:37:29 PM
In a couple of days we are to get really, really cold. An arctic front is making a beeline for us. Maybe rain/snow associated with that cold. Time to really stock up on firewood.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: bestofour on Jan 08, 2013, 11:25:25 AM
It is sunny here today without wind.  I'm happy when it's not windy because it seems like the wind has blown non stop for months.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: sunsoaker on Jan 08, 2013, 02:28:15 PM
Partly cloudy-no rain. My car said it was 73 on my way here.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: wimc on Jan 08, 2013, 05:39:52 PM
Jim, at the time of the photo, came close to stepping in the wrong area and could have slid down the road, there was gravel on the road and that may have stopped me somewhere.

Now, cloudy, 47 I think it had last check, breezy at times, was wrong about my comment last post, snow will only happen on Wednesday and Thursday, no idea how much were expecting.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: bestofour on Jan 09, 2013, 12:25:53 PM
It's a lovely, sunny, windless 59° here today. 
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: Tina on Jan 09, 2013, 01:24:10 PM
A milky sun, windless and 62* and rising.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: sunsoaker on Jan 09, 2013, 02:21:44 PM
a warmish muggy 71. Cloudy, no rain since early this a.m.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: Jim on Jan 09, 2013, 04:38:38 PM
Our high today was 74.5°.  With these temps, I am going to have to put some bleach in the pool to keep it from turning green.  No rain yet but they were saying 40% for tomorrow.  Not sure what they are saying now but it's starting to look a bit gloomy outside even though it isn't very cold.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: bayou girl on Jan 10, 2013, 12:24:30 AM
no rain in sight, but lots of pea soup fog.  was in the mid 70's today and supposed to hit 79 before the end of the weekend.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: sunsoaker on Jan 10, 2013, 07:18:31 AM
It's muggy and 70°, cloudy, light rain off and on. Like you we're supposed to hi 79 by tomorrow, but I think we'll hit it today.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: Tina on Jan 10, 2013, 08:44:07 AM
Cooler by at least 10 degrees today. Getting ready for a big chill the next few days.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: Penny on Jan 10, 2013, 12:42:58 PM
Warm here today, double digits which is very very odd for us.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: sunsoaker on Jan 10, 2013, 02:51:10 PM
It is currently 81°. I think we broke a record.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: Tina on Jan 10, 2013, 03:49:36 PM
I have had pea soup fog, rain, hail and snow. All before noon. The world is wonderful.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: wimc on Jan 10, 2013, 04:03:16 PM
Cloudy, just above freezing, breezy at times. Some snow overnight and this morning, not photo worthy.

Jim, thank you for editing photo URLs for me to my new photobucket account.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: bestofour on Jan 10, 2013, 07:01:05 PM
63° and lovely today.  Boy Tina, you've had all your seasons today.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: Jim on Jan 11, 2013, 11:50:22 AM
Lots of fog this morning that will hopefully burn off soon.  At 11:50 it is still here.  Not quite as thick as earlier but still hanging around.  We are supposed to get to 75° today.

No problem on editing the photos William.  I enjoy seeing the snow that way!  :BigGrin:
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: bestofour on Jan 12, 2013, 05:06:51 PM
We had the fog this morning, just look at my hair.  But it burned off and turned out to be a nice spring day.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: sunsoaker on Jan 12, 2013, 06:06:12 PM
It hit scattered cloudy 80° today. Currently 70.

Post by: Jim on Jan 13, 2013, 01:45:02 AM
Hi of 83° on Saturday.  I thought I was going to have to turn the AC on but it has cooled down in the house tonight.  Supposed to be another spring/summer like day tomorrow.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: Tina on Jan 13, 2013, 04:05:57 AM
Cold 30 and dropping. Up a little after midnight to add wood to the fire.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: sunsoaker on Jan 13, 2013, 08:21:26 AM
Gonna be another warm day today. Not supposed to start cooling back down until mid week.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: Tina on Jan 13, 2013, 12:40:57 PM
Another cold day in Ca. Crops are in danger here. But right at my home, we did not get down to single digit temps forecasted for us. Just to 25*. So it is good.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: sunsoaker on Jan 13, 2013, 01:35:13 PM
Currently 76 warm degrees. I have my windows open but may need to close and turn the a/c back on. I'm getting rather warm.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: wimc on Jan 13, 2013, 04:38:00 PM
Sunny/clear, last check it was either 28 or 29, this morning was 19 or so.

Geesh, boy do I miss my weather station.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: sunsoaker on Jan 13, 2013, 05:47:52 PM
Today's high was 77. It is currently 72. As much as I dislike cold weather, I do hope we get a deep freeze for a few days at some point this winter or the bugs are going to be killer this coming summer.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: wimc on Jan 13, 2013, 07:10:26 PM
Think its 30, would be our high for the day. It possibly got to 31.

Had to use a flashlight to see thermometer, even then its still hard to see.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: Tina on Jan 13, 2013, 08:18:35 PM
Today's high was 45*. Another freeze on tonight.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39

we hit 80 today, and supposed to hit it again tomorrow, but by the end of the week, we are supposed to be back down in the 50's for the highs.  big sigh...

We did too.  Broke a record high on both Saturday and Sunday.  The record high for today is 77 and the prediction is 79.  Like Jenn our temps are supposed to get back closer to normal by the end of the week.  Highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s.

Post by: Tina on Jan 14, 2013, 10:17:45 AM
Yes, it is time for my side of the teeter-totter to go up. We had had some cold records broken for dates here. And although it should rise some this week it looks like it will go down as a record cold month.
It is 31* outside right now.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39

Light snow, 28, calm.

Brrr, William. I did have one soaker hose burst. And it caused a pretty nice ice sculpture.

Do I see a little American flag in the top picture William.  They are pretty pictures.

It was dreary here today but warm.  Already have wasps at the outside of my kitchen window.

Welcome back, William.
Rainy but warm for the season. No complaints.

I hope this cold snap we're having is killing off those wasps that were flying around my window last week.  Supposed to get ice tomorrow night.

Talk about yo yo weather. It is currently 71 here.
yep.  got there here today too.  and is supposed to go down to 29 again tonight.  which means that we have to drip again :razberry: but it is supposed to warm right back up.  and start raining (only 20% but it is looking like it will happen).  i'll take cooler days to get warmer nights.

i am with sheri though, i'd like to get rid of some of the wasps, yellow jackets, etc.  i had one fly up to my hand today, i didn't see what it was and batted it away, it flew off and as it did, i noticed it was a yellow jacket.  that could have been ugly... thank goodness i'm not allergic.

58* and wet. Wet is good. We are to chill down over the weekend though.

Was in the 20's during the night and since we live on a hill our driveway was a solid sheet of ice.  It's 40 now so everything is melting nicely.  The birds are happy we got food out for them yesterday.

75 @ 3:00 p.m.  I have my windows open and its almost too warm were it not for the breeze.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: bestofour on Jan 30, 2013, 07:45:52 PM
It was 79° upstairs a little while ago so I turned on the air.  I didn't have the heat on today so it must be really warm outside.  We're supposed to have really high winds but I don't think it's happened as yet.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: sunsoaker on Jan 30, 2013, 09:11:22 PM
It was warm (75ish) and muggy yesterday outside and by the time I went to bed it was over 80 inside and I was sweating so the a/c came on. It was the same today until a little after 4 when the temps dropped 10+ degrees in about 20 minutes. Yet my house was over 80 again when I got home, so the a/c came back on, It'll get turned off again in the morning and hopefully I won't need it again for a while. The temps have dropped significantly outside and the rain has subsided for the most part as well as the high winds.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: bestofour on Jan 30, 2013, 09:36:18 PM
Pouring rain right now.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: bestofour on Feb 01, 2013, 09:18:19 AM
It is butt freezing cold out there.   The weather channel on my phone says it's 42°, feels like 34° and the high is going to be 41° which makes no sense because it's already 42.  All that said it feels like it's below 0 and the wind is fierce.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: bayou girl on Feb 01, 2013, 10:06:37 PM
supposed to get to 26 tonight. feels like it is about that now.  :freezin:
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: sunsoaker on Feb 01, 2013, 11:04:50 PM
supposed to freeze early tonight, not down to 26 though, just low 30s
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: Jim on Feb 12, 2013, 10:53:08 AM
We got some much needed rain yesterday like most everyone did.  The last time I looked, we got 1.06 on Monday and so far today have .40.  The sun is shining now and and it's not bad out even though there is more rain on the way.  The forecast is calling for another inch of rain tonight with it finally moving out tomorrow morning.  We needed the rain.

By Sunday morning we will be back to winter though with a low of 29°.   :freezin:
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: Tina on Feb 12, 2013, 12:50:49 PM
And we are warming up throughout the week. There was a freeze warning this morning but I think the last for the rest of the week. Looking forward to getting a break from the cold.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: sunsoaker on Feb 12, 2013, 02:24:02 PM
Continues to rain off an on. Some areas around me got 2" of rain yesterday, and we even had hail. Another line of severe weather is supposed to come through tonight and we're supposed to be back to winter temps by Fri. Even down to freezing at night.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: bestofour on Feb 12, 2013, 08:31:57 PM
Rained all day yesterday but was beautiful and warm today.  It's started raining again.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: Jim on Feb 13, 2013, 08:51:58 AM
Still drizzling today but we should be about through with the rain for now.  Weather man said this morning that we might see a drizzle or two on Saturday and in fact if it's during the night it might be a flurry.  NOT!  We don't want any snow!

Water standing on both sides of my driveway yesterday when I got home.  One of the drainage ditches was stopped up and it started to drain into the larger one after I removed a few leaves and debri.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: sunsoaker on Feb 13, 2013, 02:21:13 PM
Our cold front is supposed to move in about quitting time today. It was 69 when I woke up this a.m.  Tomorrow's high isn't supposed to hit 50.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: bayou girl on Feb 13, 2013, 06:01:13 PM
theoretically, the weekend will see us back in winter, i'll have to feel it to believe it.  although it is a bit cool in the upper 60s with lots and lots of water laden cloud cover but no rain.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: Jim on Feb 14, 2013, 10:08:45 AM
It felt like winter here this morning.  I had to go in early for some employee meetings and finished up about 8:30.  It was 36° as I made my way back to the office.  That was a bit cooler than I anticipated.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: bestofour on Feb 14, 2013, 01:42:45 PM
It's 46° today but without wind it's very nice.  Our high is supposed to be 55° but it's already after 1 so I don't think we're gonna make that.  Tomorrow is supposed to be 64°.   I like the cold when it's calm.  I can breath better than in the heat.
Title: Re: How's Your Weather #39
Post by: Tina on Feb 14, 2013, 02:19:29 PM
It is not yet 11:30 am and it is 66* outside and rising. A loverly day.

Post by: sunsoaker on Feb 14, 2013, 02:21:43 PM
Our cold front has come through sooner than expected. It is currently 47° and I doubt it will get much warmer today. That is actually about 8° cooler than it was this morning. No one was prepared and we all only had light jackets this morning. Some had no jacket.

Post by: bayou girl on Feb 14, 2013, 04:39:57 PM
53 or there about, but gloomy and while not particularly cold (i had on a sweatshirt and that was enough) it is miserable.  not outside weather at all. supposed to get down to 36 tonight. blech.

Post by: sunsoaker on Feb 23, 2013, 10:15:23 PM
We're supposed to have a break tomorrow, then more storms on Monday. But supposed to be back to sunshine for the rest of the week. Rain is good. This much rain in this short of time is not. We have lots of roads under water and rivers are at or over flood stage.

I slept through whatever we got. There are several schools closed due to road flooding in surrounding areas. Right here we seem to be ok. The rain has stopped and looks as if the clouds are on their way out. But its cooler now. Supposed to be cold by the end of the week.

I slept through whatever we got. There are several schools closed due to road flooding in surrounding areas. Right here we seem to be ok. The rain has stopped and looks as if the clouds are on their way out. But its cooler now. Supposed to be cold by the end of the week.
yep.  that is about what we have.  only it is still warm, supposed to hit the mid 70's.

Forecast is for us to get cooler this weekend as well.  They are saying 32 Sunday morning and 28 on Monday morning.  We have 20% chance of precipitation on Saturday night and if it comes they are saying it could be flurries!  :Smileystop: :smileyNo:
