But hey, if one can't take the rain, this ain't the city to live in, right? That said, it really HAS been wet!! gregmo In '96 the Willamette was so high the falls in Oregon City nearly disappeared!

kinuta Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Still very mild. Mid December and we've barely used any heating. A light jacket is enough outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dolan Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share 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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share 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.

Scott Dolan Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share 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...

Shawn Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 My son goes to work earlier than I do, and he said it was snow-flurrying at 6:30 this AM. It wasn't quite cold enough to stick or accumulate, but sill...81 on Saturday, snow on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Lark Ascending Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Floodwater surrounds houses in Cawood, North Yorkshire Flood waters reach the foot of Clifford’s Tower in York A view of Huntingdon Road and Yearsley Crescent covered by floodwater after the River Ouse and River Foss bursts their banks in York city centre I know that what the north of England is experiencing is as nothing compared with the flooding (and other natural disasters) that happens elsewhere in the world; but when it's places you are familiar with and not that far away it really hits home. http://www.theguardian.com/environment/gallery/2015/dec/27/flooding-northern-england-pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
