What meteorological phenomenon (phenomena) affects you this day ? - Page 1025

cromag · 01-21-2019, 05:29 PM

The skies are clear and the sun was bright, but it's 11° (F) out there!

pdurrant · 01-22-2019, 04:13 AM

Another cloudy day.

astrangerhere · 01-22-2019, 08:26 AM

It was 14F on my 2 block walk from my car to the courthouse for court this morning.

Rumpelteazer · 01-25-2019, 02:59 AM

It snowed on Tuesday and hasn't melted yet. A rare occurrence. Usually it melts almost immediately because either the ground it too warm or too wet from previous rain.

But today it'll melt. For early to mid-afternoon snow is predicted, but temperatures are going to rise throughout the day so the snow will go over into rain.

badgoodDeb · 01-25-2019, 02:33 PM

Sigh. I wish! We were at -6F last night (-21C). Might warm up to +6F today (-14.4C). More of this next week too. Oh jolly!

I hear it's a bit nippy in my ol' home town in western Wisconsin, it's why I live Hawaii!

Greg Anos · 01-28-2019, 02:30 PM

Hawaii was very nice (I call my timeshare "The Fortress of Sillytude"). Just got back from there yesterday. . .

-20F here outside with wind gust. They've set up warming centers down farther south of us which is supposed to get to -40F this is with wind chill.

Inside apartment a cozy 73F. They told us turn our heat up 4 degrees. I did it yesterday before it got too cold and now enjoying the residue from it.

Today's high was -14°. Low will be -24°. Currently -19°. That's not even the "feels like" temperature which is currently -46°.

Deskisamess · 01-30-2019, 08:56 AM

-2 degrees here, wind chill of -26. Expecting record breaking wind chills overnight and into tomorrow.

cromag · 01-30-2019, 07:57 PM

Polar vortex. It's not as extreme here as some other locations, but it'll do!

As usual, I'll be picking up my son from his night job. I plan on leaving extra early and waiting at the McDonald's across the highway (with a Diet Coke and my ereader!) so he doesn't wait on the sidewalk. The temperature right now is about 5° and falling. The wind chill is well below 0F.

Rumpelteazer · 01-31-2019, 03:06 AM

It's just below freezing, -2C, so not as cold as some in the US are experiencing, but cold enough for me. For yesterday they had predicted up to 5cm of snow, only a light dusting fell. Right now it's grey and misty, but it's predicted the sun will come out and temperatures will rise to 3-5C, with later tonight a chance of snow and/or rain and/or wet snow and/or sleet.

A bolt that goes all the way through a very heavy, solid wooden door is frosted on the inside. Not amazing by any means, but still a rather stark reminder of what's going on on the other side.

Nifty! A number of my friends did the "throw hot water in the air and watch it immediately disappear into steam" trick, and posted videos.

poohbear_nc · 02-03-2019, 01:54 PM

*don't hit me*

*or throw snowballs at me*

It's officially spring!

No, not the pesky rodent ...

When I went out onto my front porch today to fetch an Amazon box, I walked through a SPIDER WEB!!!

Yes, a pair of suicidal daddy long legs had spun an ambitious web from jamb to hinges ....
