How's the Weather Out Your Way?

Good Morning Lyn,

Central IL. - Sunny and clear with about 12 inches on snow on the ground. Was -2 this morning but should see 34 by this afternoon.

Local weather said 1 to 2 inches of snow Friday and possible 1 to 2 on Saturday.

Next week mid 30's and a high of 42 on Thursday (next).

By far the most brutal winter in 11 years!

Regards KJK/USA

You already sound like the weather alarmists that see a bad winter in every bad winter which is badder than the one 4 or 11 or whatever years ago.

Its been the worst storm ever and all is flooded would Del Cat family say. The wood gets wet and it hasnt been like this since years to come!

Now we can look at the statistic and I bet there was a winter worse than now and maybe 12 years ago!

What you say?

Oh btw Lyn, weather is fine with a twitch of too much sunshine waiting for some rain!

Thanks. At least you're prepared for it. I pity the people who don't get much of this, like the southeast is getting now.

We've had a very brutal winter in Minn. Maybe I should say my Minn. neighbors have.

The heating bill for our house there is 3-4 times higher this year.

Just saw pictures of Atlanta and it is a mess!

It'll be in the low '80s here today.

Ah yes, we were prepared and are weathering it well!

Like you, heating costs through the roof though

Yup, Atlanta sure got slammed.

Got about 6" of snow/ice yesterday.

Naturally, thousands of morons didn't heed the warnings, and ended up abandoning their cars and walking. The roads are littered with vehicles.

The trees are crystalized with ice, and we've got a wave of snow coming in today about noon. The snow is wet, but tonight will go to low 20s. I'll be attempting to hurt myself by sledding on ice, tomorrow.

Got food, beer, booze, batteries are charged, tubs are full of water, a few days worth of firewood outside the front door...

Bring it!

Don't know if it's been reported your side of the pond, but we've got some of the worst flooding since records began, and storms with hurricane-force winds.

Yes, saw your FB comments yesterday, I think. And been watching on TV, too. Bloody awful.

This year seems to be nasty everywhere, almost. Stay dry if you can.

I bet Del's curled up by the fire.

Believe he's gone swanning off to France.

Just like a cat!

Clear, sunny, a little windy, 70's....

Ditto, less wind.....

OK, OK we get the picture!

I thought you might be interested in the change of color of the ocean....see it was greenish yesterday and bluish today....

Yeah, and your sky is cloudless today.............................................

I won't bore you with a picture of our cloudless sky. It's 80°F here right now.

Grass is growing like crazy. So are the weeds.

PlbMak has named the new season "Sog":

• Excessive rainfall in the UK with the River Severn, its longest, at a level within millimetres of drowning the city of Worcester.
• Large areas of the Somerset Levels are under water and have been for several weeks.
• The River Thames has disgraced itself over several towns in Berkshire and Surrey.
• At the time of writing, 37 drinking water sites in the north west Midlands are running on standby generators following the storms on Tuesday evening that have taken out power distribution in the area.
• Apart from that, everything is fine.

Here in New England its snowing again. This weather sucks! It's been so cold the past month that I have to keep my brass monkeys in the house. But this is New England. The weather always sucks.

We enjoy the weather here because it gives us something to complain about. We complain because it's too cold, it's too hot, too rainy or snowy, too dry. And on the two or three days that the weather is perfect, we complain that we have nothing to complain about.

Here in the north Georgia mountains we had snow, then sleet adding a layer of ice on top of the snow, then more snow. I don't have to go anywhere, so I can just walk around and admire the beauty of it, and watch the neighbor kids out playing in it. Never lost power here, though I guess a lot of people in other parts of the state did.

Yep,

It's pretty to look at, as long as you don't have to slog around in it.

We've also had one of, if not or maybe The, coldest winters ever up here.

Expecting a big dump of everything tomorrow (snow, ice pellets, freezing rain, rain, 100+ km winds) and get this, we view it as a hopeful sign that things are returning to normal! Yes, temperatures will soar briefly to 5 C long enough to turn all solid precip to cement so we can get a REAL workout. As usually.

Yes, we normally have it all. But windchills of -25 we expect to be fleeting, like everything else, not parked on the place for weeks without a ticket. If I wanted to live in a place this cold, I'd move to Labrador...

Degrees are Celcius.

Could do with some rain.

Well my son and I shoveled about 8" on our first tour yesterday morning and another 3" later in the evening. It was an exhausting Valentines day!
