Way Cold and Snowy in PA - What's Your Weather?

[RJDiogenes]

Because it makes Summer seem all that better.

We had quite a snowy weekend. It snowed pretty heavily Friday night, flurried off and on Saturday, blizzarded Saturday night and flurried off and on yesterday. It's also been pretty cold, in the 20s. Luckily, the wind died down overnight, so it hasn't been too cold inside.

There's over 2 feet of powder on the ground in Vermont; and it's been accumulating gradually, so at least some of that is compacted. The snowbanks are taller than me in places.

I will be glad to get back to Virginia.

Nice, expected to get to a nice 61 F..sunny..birds chirping etc..I do expect someone to break out in song soon..

Does PETA still throw blood on people for wearing fur? Cuz I was thinking about stapling the cats on me when it gets really cold on Thursday and it's a bitch to get Beverly clean.

My commute brings me over a 'mountain' top where the wind tends to create snow drifts over the road. Made it all the way through to the last one when a drift sucked me in. Stuck but good, front tires an inch off the snow. An hour and a half and $60 bucks later I got pulled out. Turns out the tow trucks were pretty busy this morning.

My wife got the kids dressed real quick and drove me down a shovel and some rock salt. Hey she didn't know a push snow shovel wasn't going to work. Two different city plows stopped at different times and each one tried digging me out til they had to give up. I had about 10 other people stop, roll down their window, and ask if I needed some help.

Later, the tow truck driver wished my day to go better. I told him between him pulling me out and the concern from strangers it already was.

Chilly and snow showers all week here, but not much has accumulated (good thing, too, since we're driving 45 minutes down I-99 every day and no one in my carpool has 4WD)

14 right now, 3-5 inches of snow by morning

 

[Mysterion]

Typical Puget Sound winter: temps in the low-to-mid 40's (F) and wet. Lots of wet. Probably until sometime around June it will be wet. And grey. Wet and gray.

"Bluest skies", my ass! Bring me the head of Perry Como!

Was -7C in North Texas this morning. Forecasts as low as -12 for the next few nights, and staying below freezing during the day too, until the weekend.

In other words, cold.

Dish Network guy climbed up on the roof to fix the "nose" on the dish this morning. There was 18 inches of snow up there. I measured 26 inches of snow on the ground today. Tried plowing but the garden tractor (w/ dozer blade) needed help from my snow shovel after it piled up too much. Oh my aching back. Temps around 20F, not much of a wind. A little bit of a break.

 

[John Clark]

I'd say there's about half a foot of snow here - and people just seem unable to cope. Hardly anyone turned up at the office today.

Oklahoma is about to get nailed with another arctic blast. Tomorrow will be a high of 34º by 10am (OKC Metro) and then plummet. The projected high for Saturday is 3º.

We're in the middle of a mild heat wave. LA's usual winter temperatures for this time is in the 50s to 60s. For the next few days, it's gonna be in the 70s. May get up to 80 again.

That's awful.

I hate that lake affect. I hear Syracuse NY has 4 feet now, as does Erie PA. We got another 6 inches last night and school was delayed 2 hours every day this week for the kids. That meant out the door at 7 am plowing so the wife could get out and I had enough time to move snow and get the kids dressed.

No, this is not how it's been for the last week, but since Northern California has no "seasons" to speak of, with the exception of constant, never-ending excessive heat, this is how our weather patterns work. Or don't work.

 

[Nomad V]

I thought northern CA was "mild" and didn't deal with the excessive heat like in the southern part of the state.

Well, I've lived in Northern California all my life, and I can definately say that the average 102-109 degrees in July is excessive. Particularly when it makes me sick to my stomach.

The best time of the year is around March through early May, what the rest of the world calls "spring". The weather here then is mild. And comfortable.

 

[SVD]

Sure we got seasons! A cold wet one and a hot dry one!

Yeah, our wet season temps are about 50*F (10*C) to 60*F (15.5*C)

Another Northern California born and raised. Spent one year in Upstate New York, WAAAAAAAAAY too cold for a California boy with snow knee deep to a 6th grader a mild winter

Well, I've lived in Northern California all my life, and I can definately say that the average 102-109 degrees in July is excessive.

Call me crazy, but I LOVE that time of year!
