WEATHER. What's it doing where you are?

[Alan W.]

72 here today. Sent a pic of the thermometer to my cuz in Colorado Springs. Down to 52 now. Here in the holler the wind only got up to 21 but on the ridge it was howling. Heavy rain that has finally quit.

North Ea WA state - 25 miles SW of Spokane. Our first snow was on October 25 - 1". It all melted the following day. It has snowed three times and completely melted since then. Two day ago we got 7 1/2". Rain, wind & warm wx has brought that down to 3 1/2".

Elevation here is 2285 feet. Sure hope they are getting snow in the mountains this winter. This winter has all the appearances of not needing to plow the driveway. Like last winter.

Balmy 68F in eastern PA for the second day in a row. Had some storms last night so humidity is high which feels real nice.

SW Ohio. We had a very cold late autumn with a plowable snow event. Since then warm and rainy. Spring-like storms overnight with damaging winds. February is supposed to be winter-like....we'll see. 67 yesterday 40's today.

Broken branches everywhere so Spring will mean a big cleanup. I wish we would get a few days of warmth to melt the ice in the trees as they are struggling with the weight. We did get about 3" of light snow last night.

Well we dodged a bullet in Northern NY;ice storm missed us!

They were predicting freezing rain here in northern N.H. too, but all we got was just plain ol' rain. Supposed to get into the teens tonight, ought to turn the driveway into a skating rink.

The rain/warm weather pretty much trashed all the snowmobile trails. Just about the time we'd finally built up enough snow to open them.

 

[mapper]

40 degrees and poured rain all night. Temps are supposed to drop today and snow is forecast for the middle of the week. As usual every news broadcast is acting like it's the end of the world around here.

I should be skiing in Vermont today, but the mountain closed 10 minutes before I left for the hour drive there. Was in the 60’s yesterday.
We are warmer here in Northeast than in south Texas and central Mexico

Very pretty day here yesterday...for the first half of the day. This photo was taken about noon looking west from my porch. The snowcaps in the distance on the top left are about 50 air miles away.

At about 2 yesterday afternoon I happened to look out and saw this approaching....

Within a half hour all **** broke loose. Visibility zero, with wind so strong that the hail and snow plastered the side of the house even though there is a porch roof extending out 10 feet. 3 inches of snow in the next hour...but the worst part, the power flickered and then went out. It was 4 hours before it came back on.

[grsthegreat]

-48F this morning. 5 Mushers scratched from the Copper Basin 300 Sled Dog Race during the night. The -48 wouldn't be so bad but there was a breeze blowing too. Mother Nature can be Brutal.

 

[flyerdan]

Fair amount of rain and 46 here in Salem. WX is painting a couple days of subfreezing temps and possible snow accumulation on the valley floor in the next couple days. That will pretty much bring things to a halt here.

Grsthegreat, you're up around Coeur d'Alene aren't you? I follow my hometown paper on fb and Boundary county is getting it pretty good. Northern Lites power outage map covered a lot last time I looked

About a week ago we got 120cm (4 ft) of snow in 24 hrs and it kept coming. The power went out for 34 hrs and the phones were out for 4 or 5 days. It took me 2 long days to plow and blow a path down my 1 mile long driveway, wide enough to get the truck out but it didn't matter since our roads hadn't been plowed. The 3rd day I spent opening the driveway a bit more to get ready for the next round and making a path to my neighbors that were still snowed in. Also blew some paths for them, to get to some of the animal locations so they could carry water and food to them.

When the power goes out here we don't have running water (we're on a well) and no sewage capabilities since our septic is a pumped system. Since last night we got another foot or so and it's still coming down hard. This morning the winds came and the temps are plumetting. Supposed to get down to -34C for the next few days and I'm expecting another power outage any time.

I sure picked the right year to get a cab tractor and Trygg chains. If it weren't for those chains and my rear facing blower my neighbor and us would have been screwed.

Well here north of Montreal I got off lucky.
South reported 120 power outages.

There were all sorts of weather warnings for major rain and sleet and predictions of major power outages.
Well I got all of 1 inch of snow after a lot of rain but that's it.
Since my tractor was down I still had some 3-4 inches of snow from previous event and have an AWD car so OK.

Lights merely blinked but once and that is sum total other than lots of water, but hey, the car is clean!

On the positive side it was warm so I replaced my defective block heater and that proved to be a 3 hour chore due to it's location.
Darn heater is behind the oil filter and with the FEL framework it is a major task to work on.
I had to drill it and that required some serious trickery to accomplish, like a 24 inch drill bit (to clear obstructions etc) flex drill shaft to tighten the new heater in position etc.
when they use the term compact they sure mean it!

Yep, a fellow can take really cold temps, but add the wind and it's a whole different story.
