randissimo Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 Been mostly cloudy this month and 12 degrees below the average temp for this time of year.. Been more like early November around Michigan.. Quote
WorldB3 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 Rainy as fuck. But I guess we need it. 3 inches of rain for most, up to 9 down in the Santa Cruz mountains. Now you would think with the first major storm of the year and with the roads being oily people would slow down, not tailgate, not weave in and out of traffic on the freeway but no, 100's of traffic accidents today.

We don't have the hills and curves like you do, but the same thing happened in the San Joaquin Valley. I mean, you could see the oil on the gutter water and people are still driving like it was sunny and dry....in a friggin' down pour! Quote
Jazzmoose Posted December 6, 2009 Report Posted December 6, 2009 It's 23F/-5C and dropping. Possibility of snow the next few days. And I"m freezing my nads off. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted December 6, 2009 Report Posted December 6, 2009 "Raining, raining, raining, always bloody well raining..." November was the wettest on record in the UK (with horrendous floods in Cumbria) - not bad for a country renowned for rain. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8389471.stm Today both ponds are as full as possible and the ground looks waterlogged. I've never suffered from flooding here but two years back the centre of the town was under water just a mile away. No danger that I know of at present, but there are an unusually large number of puddles in the gravel! The frogs must be loving it. Might start that ark. Quote

November was the wettest on record in the UK (with horrendous floods in Cumbria) - not bad for a country renowned for rain. Never known anything like the UK this November/December. It hasn't let up one bit. It was good to get away to Toulouse for a week with clear skies, warmer conditions, no rain and an extra hour or so of light. Getting back here was like returning to Mordor ! And yet after last night's storm it's a beautiful morning out there at the moment. And my pond is at least full and the newts are OK..

Strangely enough in just two hours the sky has totally cleared - almost cloudless blue! Don't trust it, though! Quote
Tim McG Posted December 7, 2009 Report Posted December 7, 2009 Cold front coming our way. Rain on and off all week. Yay! Quote
paul secor Posted December 7, 2009 Report Posted December 7, 2009 First snow of the season yesterday afternoon/last night. It'll probably all melt by tomorrow. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted December 7, 2009 Report Posted December 7, 2009 Still no snow here; dry as a bone. Still no sign of the freezing point either, though. Supposed to get up to 20 tomorrow, so at least it will be out of the teens... Quote
BeBop Posted December 7, 2009 Report Posted December 7, 2009 In the Oakland, CA hills this morning. And I'm snowed in. Can't get out of my friend's driveway. (Elevation is about 2,000 feet) ( Quote

Ed S Posted December 8, 2009 Report Posted December 8, 2009 Cold and snowing in Buffalo. Expecting a stretch of subfreezing days. Spent the afternoon working on an ice rink out front - first time in about 5 years I've set it up - but my oldest is a hockey nut. The local ski resorts are making snow. Should be open this weekend. All of the above to be followed with a Quote
AndrewHill Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 First real winter storm of the year's supposed to blow through, with high winds and heavy snow by Friday. Too bad I'll be missing the fun, since I'll be in Vegas by then! Quote
paul secor Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 Snow and icey rain here this morning, tho nothing like what hit the midwest. This morning I thought about Tom 1960 possibly having to deliver mail in this stuff. Hope he has the day off. Quote

As for us - the deluge is followed by fog and a freeze rolling in from Scandinavia this weekend. Totally sucks ! (hose-head) Edited December 9, 2009 by sidewinder Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 It's Welsh here. As ever. MG Quote
BruceH Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 It's been cold (by local standards) for the last four days or so. Quote
Dave James Posted December 10, 2009 Report Posted December 10, 2009 (edited) When I worked on the railroad during the summers I was in college, the regulars had an expression they used to describe cold weather. They'd say it was "colder than a wedge." Well if a wedge can be cold right here in Portland, Oregon, it would be this week. Last night it was down to 15 degrees. Same thing tonight. For this neck of the woods, that's about as cold as it ever gets. Edited December 10, 2009 by Dave James Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 10, 2009 Report Posted December 10, 2009 Several days of bright, dry weather forecast. Hm, we'll see. Cetainly correct for today. MG Quote
Tim McG Posted December 11, 2009 Report Posted December 11, 2009 Cold and rainy. An Artic Low has parked itself over California and I am just loving it! Bring me the RAIN!!! Quote
jeffcrom Posted December 11, 2009 Report Posted December 11, 2009 We're so ridiculous here in Georgia. It's in the low 20s (F) this morning, and the local TV news was featuring the "Severe Weather Team." When it snows two inches here, we get 24-hour "Storm Watch" coverage. Quote
Free For All Posted December 12, 2009 Report Posted December 12, 2009 Enjoying a nice taste of winter weather in Iowa City. Don't mind it one bit. Quote
Brad Posted December 12, 2009 Report Posted December 12, 2009 Near 40 today in NW Joisey and the malls are crowded! Quote
Jazzmoose Posted December 12, 2009 Report Posted December 12, 2009 It finally warmed up out of the teens, but of course, that means snow is everywhere. I'll take the dry cold, thank you, but I wasn't consulted. Quote
