what's your local weather?

Fortunately for me, I'm 250 miles northwest of the fires. We had clear skies and above normal temperatures. High 67 F, Low 42 F. I hope the fires don't spread any further down there. What worries me, is when it finally does rain, if they get too much precipitation on burned out areas, before the vegetation returns, the earth and everything on it, will begin to slide downhill.

Meteorologists were saying this was going to be an El Nino winter here in the Pacific Northwest, with colder temperatures and lowland snow, and I have yet to see any sign of it. It's been another mild winter.

currently 40 F at 10:15am local time, very windy. Yesterday most of the city experienced extreme winds, up to 110mph in some places, and intense rain that flooded out some areas. Anchorage, Alaska.
 
More snow today. Again. I miss last year's virtually snow-free winter.

You can tell people in the neighbourhood are getting tired of it:

First snowfall: Better shovel the driveway!
Second snowfall: Better shovel the driveway.
...
Twentieth snowfall: It was only 5 cm today, I'm sure the driveway's fine.
 
It's hovered around 30 degrees F for what seems like months now. That temp is dropping daily, little by little.
 
It is supposed to be our wettest month of the year, but so far, nothing this January but sunshine and clear skies. Every day, highs in mid 60s F, lows mid 30s F (18c/3c).

Next week is supposed to bring the coldest temperatures of the year, with highs only in the mid to upper 30s. Thankfully, there's no moisture in the air, so no chance of snow in the lowlands.
 
Finally, no snowfall today! We actually peeked above 0°C today, and we're set to do it again tomorrow too.

Better enjoy it now, because the polar vortex is coming next week... :crazy:

Wind chill is supposed to be -23 on Monday and -25 on Tuesday, dipping down to -30 overnight. :ack:

(Or maybe that's just the chill the inauguration is casting over my country, IDK...)

It could be both a polar vortex and inauguration chill. I am west of the forecasted polar vortex.
