A Lark Ascending Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 Daffodils come early! One of many sightings over the last few weeks. These were spotted near Luccombe, Somerset by Rachel Finlayson on 12 December. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/features/35102687 I keep spotting trees that look ready to bud. There are going to be tears! Quote

kinuta Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 Still very mild. Mid December and we've barely used any heating. A light jacket is enough outside. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted December 22, 2015 Report Posted December 22, 2015 Don't know if this was just standard newspaper Chicken Licken syndrome but they were saying that the winter solstice temperature today is higher than the summer solstice in June! Quote
Scott Dolan Posted December 22, 2015 Report Posted December 22, 2015 I don't doubt it. Gonna be 60 and sunny here for Christmas. It'll almost be like I'm back in Florida again. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted December 24, 2015 Report Posted December 24, 2015 Coming down in torrents. They must be despairing in Cumbria. The TV pictures were terrible - third inundation in Appleby, a place I remember from several very happy summers down by the river. Quote
sidewinder Posted December 24, 2015 Report Posted December 24, 2015 Pretty rough down here this morning as well but they seem to have turned the taps off for the afternoon.. Quote
paul secor Posted December 24, 2015 Report Posted December 24, 2015 Rain seems to be clearing and it's supposed to be near 70 today. Crazy, but after the last two bitterly cold winters I'll take it as long as it lasts - probably not for long. Quote
Tim McG Posted December 24, 2015 Report Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) Cold with rain in the Valley and snow in the mountains this afternoon. Heavenly Ski Resort in South Lake Tahoe, CA. Edited December 24, 2015 by Tim McG Quote
fasstrack Posted December 24, 2015 Report Posted December 24, 2015 Warm and rainy in NYC. We had two cold days last week, but it's been downright balmy most of the time. Quote
kinuta Posted December 24, 2015 Report Posted December 24, 2015 Bright sunshine, clear blue sky, 9C. Quote
paul secor Posted December 25, 2015 Report Posted December 25, 2015 Sun's out. Temp's about 50. I'm happy. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted December 26, 2015 Report Posted December 26, 2015 Terrible scenes in the north of England today: Mytholmroyd, West Yorkshire I'm just a couple of miles from the South Yorkshire border but we've had virtually no rain today. Apparently Manchester and Leeds are under threat. I know we've a few posters here living in these regions. Hope you're not caught up in it. Quote

Yes, flooding in northern parts of Greater Manchester, about 15 miles from where I live in south Manchester. The Metrolink tram from the bottom of my road is having to terminate prematurely before it reaches the waters. As I think I wrote in this thread, here we're earmarked for a once-in-a-hundred-years flooding by the Mersey, tho' 100 now probably equals 5 Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted December 27, 2015 Report Posted December 27, 2015 (edited) Glad to hear you're not immediately troubled, Bill. Edited December 27, 2015 by A Lark Ascending Quote

JSngry Posted December 28, 2015 Report Posted December 28, 2015 We were at 81 and muggy yesterday, then the sun went down, the cold front moved through and we had a little mini-tornado fest (none in Plano, thankfully), then today it cooled off and started raining like hell, but only in fits and starts, but all day and expected overnight. Right now it's 41, and out to the west and up in the panhandle, they're expecting snow. Not expecting it here, but we will drop below freezing a few nights this week, and truthfully, I'd not be surprised if a few flurries made their way in. Quote
Scott Dolan Posted December 28, 2015 Report Posted December 28, 2015 We actually hit 70 last week, but it has finally started to cool back down. Tons of rain, though. I-70 in St. Charles (10-15 minutes east of St. Louis) is closed due to flooding. That's a MAJOR artery severed during one of the most traveled weekend of the year... Quote
Shawn Posted December 28, 2015 Report Posted December 28, 2015 It has actually felt like December this December in California. I've worn my coat more this month than I did in the past 3 winters combined. Quote
fasstrack Posted December 28, 2015 Report Posted December 28, 2015 It's now December for real in NYC. Reprieve over. Brrr... Quote
