Re: How's your weather?
Poured down rain this morning on the way to work.
Road construction no stripes and could barely tell the road from the ditch.
Many drivers don't seem to care if they run on brights all the time and not dim them.
Making it even more hazardous because you are literally blinded by the lights and can't see anything in the middle of many curves.

Re: How's your weather?
Yesterday was 74 and gorgeous. I got another bed forked up before Worth's rain and colder air move in here tomorrow night. Just as the ponding in the lower garden has finally disappeared, they're saying we might get 3" on Friday. Heavy sigh....

Re: How's your weather?
I had about 15 cm of light fluffy snow to shovel yesterday, and another 10cm is falling as we speak. Definitely getting the february feel. I know it's good for every living green thing so I am thinking to be thankful instead of complain.

Re: How's your weather?
69° dew point 68°, steady flow off the warm Caribbean Sea and up into the GOM accounting for the air temperature and dew points. The Flow is going to be coming from the western Continental US later today, then the Canadian Arctic Friday. Highs will drop from 74° today and bottom out Saturday at 57°. Lows forecast to be 34° Saturday and 38° Sunday. These two back to back fronts look to be dry ones here.
Next week rain chances go up Monday and Tuesday.
Normal February weather pattern for these parts.

Rainy off and on, but not a lot of water. Just enough to keep the area in drought stage one so far. Hope we get quite a bit more before the summer heat. The weather is so out of whack, I am not sure whether to plant seeds that do well in hot and dry or those that can resist blights and molds...

Froze my tail off all day.
Got put of a warm truck and stayed in the cold wind and rain for 9 hours.
Back in the truck get home and the sun comes out and warms up.
Seriously.

Re: How's your weather?
Partly cloudy and 66 degrees today, fantastic! Soil moisture was perfect for digging in the dirt, so I did some weeding, dug in some leaf compost, and re-shaped some beds this afternoon. Little tiny wildflowers (a.k.a. "weeds") are blooming already. Another winter without very much winter here, at least so far.

It's 73 and partly cloudy. The rain is coming in this evening and lasting through the weekend. Possibly 3" of rain.

It's still 60°, at almost 6 pm. It didn't rain a lot here - just occasionally, and not anything heavy. Close to 60° forecast again for tomorrow.

Re: How's your weather?
yet another, sunny day here in the north woods. nary a cloud was in a deep blue sky for most of the day.
after getting past the arctic end of january, and first coupla days of february, we have had several days in
the mid 30s to mid 40s. very atypical weather for the copper country. some snow is headed our way wednesday night.
but we will be missing the brunt of a storm. it gets colder later in the week, but so far, its been an easy month.
one person who is not happy with the lack of snow is our local meteorologist john dee. this guy loves snow, and gets
excited when a big storm hits. john has added a video forecast to his site if you want to drop in, and see it.
johndee.com is the place to go. click on video forecast. you can skip the adds.
iowa, and wisconsin folks might be interested in whats coming.

Re: How's your weather?
Warm here and the question is will there be any more frost. There’s nothing along that line in the forecast. We’ve got a couple of nights in the 30°s later in the week, then it will be tomato sets going into the beds, likely Sunday. Forecast beyond Sunday show highs in the high 60s and 70s and lows in the 50s. The Tomatoes should be happy enough with that.

Re: How's your weather?
Big snowstorm in progress here. Started last night and will continue through tomorrow morning, with a mix of ice pellets, gale force winds, and expected total in the ballpark of 30 cm+. Most everything closed for the day.

Stay warm and safe snuggled up in your house, Bower. Ice is no one's friend .

Around 32C/90F here for my birthday, from what Mum keeps telling me, about 20F, 11C cooler than this day 56 years ago. Mostly forecast to be between 25 C/77F and 30C/87F for the rest of the month, a few warmer, Friday the hottest at 99F/37C and a few cooler. Only 17 mm / 0.68 inch forecast for the rest of February

Re: How's your weather?
Glad to hear your weather's on the mend @Whwoz .
The snow is piling up here to normal levels of snow cover for February, and after last year's drought, that is good news for the summer to come. It would be easy to complain (as we do every normal year!) but I'm sticking with grateful.

Re: How's your weather?
yup, a lot of winter storms here come blowin in from the west, north west.
the worm has frozen here. after a few warm days, and a hard rain that turned our
hard pack snow on the drive way to mush that had to be dealt with, we got some snow, and blow.
my area got off fairly light. the temp. dropped like a rock changing the rain to snow. the wind was
blasting all day long. we went from bright, and sunny to gray all day within a short time frame.
more typical february weather than what we had been experiencing.
it was nice while it lasted.

Re: How's your weather?
It was supposed to snow tonight. Depending on location 1-8 inches in the area with a sharp cut off.
This afternoon at the McDonalds near me, the parking lot was coated in pure white snow melt pellets, and the sidewalk near the door was sprinkled in a pretty pink color. I should have taken a picture. It looked pretty!
A dry pocket formed, and the air is having trouble saturating enough to hold moisture. This has happened so many times in only this small area over the city, it is now called an "Omadome" forecast.
We may eek out a dusting to an inch by morning, instead of the 4"-6" prediction. As much as I don't love the snow, we really do need some moisture.

69° at 07:30. That will be the high for today. Heading for mid thirties tonight. Just brought all the tomato sets inside about two minutes before the northwesterly cold front hit. I’m ready to put these sets into their beds.
