Cold, icy, snow on the ground... We just had freezing-rain for three straight days, and now it seems to be clearing up.
At least the sun isn't out. I hate when the sun is out when it's cold. You have to dress warmly, because it's cold out, but the minute the sun hits you, you start to get warm and sweat, and want to take off layers. But if you take anything off, you're freezing, because in actuality, it's below freezing out.

It was strange out here. They said it was only about 38 degrees. I went outside and the sun was shining really bright. As long has you had a scarf and had on you were comfortable.
Then the wind started really blowing wildly. The tree outside my window looked like it would blow through my window. Some people lost power from the wind.

Yesterday morning it was about that cold, PLUS there was lots of high winds. Our gutter fell off.

I made it home. First there was heavy snow, freezing rain and then sleet. There were a few white knuckle moments, but no real sliding. I listened to ELO and Gordon Lightfoot the whole way.

That happened to me this afternoon on my drive home. I went over to Woodbridge New Jersey and on the way back home, there was an accident on the highway and on the bridge. They had to close the bridge. A ride that normally takes me 15 minutes tops, took me an hour and 10 minutes!
And now it's even more dangerous and slippery out there.

It's gross out. Schools here were delayed two hours. I just took one look out my front door and declared a snow day. No way were my kids getting on a bus, or in a car, on a day like this. It's still icy and slushy, even though it appears to be mostly rain at this point.

No. This was Interstate 81 between Scranton and Harrisburg. This stretch runs through Wilkes-Barre, Hazleton, Route 80, Frackville and Lebanon before I hit home just north of Harrisburg.
I could take the Northeast extension of the Turnpike to Allentown and head home on 78 during snowy weather as that route doesn't take you up in the mountains, but it is generally longer.

It's freaking COLD here. Mr. Babe and I went out to look at the new Hondas today, and walking around that lot, it was FREEZING. We were supposed to go shopping afterwards for groceries, and I quickly decided that whatever we had at home would have to do. There was no way I was getting out of the car again.

What a ride home from work!!! It was white-knuckle time the entire drive. We only have about an inch, but its a SLIPPERY inch of snow. I never went above 35 mph (and nobody was passing me).
We're supposed to get another few inches by afternoon, and then it turns to rain before turning back to ice later tonight. Oh joy!!

Well, we're already up to 4" here, and the local meterologist is now calling for 5-10" before it changes over to rain this afternoon.
Then we're supposed to get ICE on top of that!

SC, so glad that you made it home safely. I would NOT have wanted to be out there.
The snow is still falling heavily here. School was canceled. My kids are thrilled, since they had off Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. They only had to go one day.

Probably because they had 3 snow days last week Mon tues Wed. Went to school on Thurs. had some school holiday on Fri then they had Presidents day off.

Re: Whats the weather like today - 02/22/08 07:02 PM
Aren't your schools closed for winter break this week? The public schools here are. Only the private schools here were open this week, but ironically they had off today.
They kill me when they do that. My daughter is in Public Middle school and my son in Private High School. I can't understand why they won't coincide and close for winter recess for the same week. They used to, but then when the mayor's office took over control of the public schools, they changed the week. They screw up any possible vacation plans that we may have wanted to make.
But I guess that Ego maniac, Bloomberg, has to beat to his own drum.

I really don't think it's Bloomberg, DC.
I only say that because when I went to Catholic high school (1973-1977), we had a different winter vacation than the public schools as well.

Don't know about that PB. I've been told by several friends of mine that are NYC school teachers that he and his puppet, Joel Klien, were the driving forces in changing the winter recess week. It had something to do with the contract and it's structure for mandatory hours and stuff. Not sure of the details, but that's what I've been told.

Re: Whats the weather like today - 02/22/08 07:32 PM
I happen to like him also PB. An outstanding businessman. No question about it! Overall the man did a great job with this city. He picked up right where Giuliani left off. And truthfully he had more on his plate than Giuliani did because Bloomberg took this city over only 3 months after the 9/11 attacks. He had to take over a city that was destroyed both financially and morally. He did a great job with re-building this city.
But there are certain things that I believe he should stay out of and only gets involved with because of his ego. And there are also times that he lets his personal dislikes sway him in decisions that he makes.
Would I vote for him again if he were able to run for mayor again? Absolutely.
But sometimes he just pisses me off with his ego.

TIS, for what it's worth, he takes the train to work every morning, and only takes a $1 salary per year as Mayor Of NYC. His reasoning is that he truly wanted to be the Mayor of the city because his intention was to help the city and it's people and not make money at doing it. Of course he doesn't need the money from the city, but heck he doesn't have to work for $1 a year or ride the subway either. I admire him for doing that.

Re: Whats the weather like today - 02/22/08 07:41 PM
Really???? Wow!! True he doesn't need the money, but still that is impressive. Of course I'll never know, but IF I had that kind of money, I think it's safe to assume the last thing I'd want to do is "work".......at any job. I'd be traveling the world and arranging a BB meet in Corleone Sicily.....on me!!! Dreams are great, aren't they?

In my kids' schools they have had three days off from school. As a result, they had to go to school the Friday before President's Day Weekend. Because this past Friday was a snow day, they have to go to school the day after Easter.
A few years ago when there were 6 or 7 snow days, a whole week was added to the school year.

Braggart.
I couldn't believe that wind and rain we had here yesterday. 12,000 households/businesses without power, a live wire from a downed utility pole dangling an inch over a busload of people, just scary stuff. Luckily, we didn't lose power, but my daughter was at a sleepover and they lost their cable, so they had no phone service there either.

Arizona's known as a state where you can encounter four seasons in a single day. It's true: yesterday's high was 90 in Bullhead City, low 12 at the Grand Canyon.

Windy as heck here today -- 50-60 mile an hour winds from the south. No tornados though and the wind is a warm wind.
I was drinking my coffee and looking out the kitchen windows and noticed the neighbor behind us about two houses down had their trampoline turned over and nearly smashed their deck.
The I realized they never had a trampoline. SO I went out to my backyard and realized mine was missing
My trampoline is about 20 feet wide and has a big safety net contraption on it. I have a six foot privacy fence. Must have took an amazing amount of wind to for this thing to clear a six foot fence and "fly" 150-200 yards.
I told my wife to come look at our backyard and see if she notice anything missing. So my wife and I had to go out and drag this 250 pound trampoline a couple hundred yards this morning back to our house. The weight is bad enough but it was all mangled up and the trampoline kept catching the wind and tried to fly off again.
Got my work out this morning LOL

Last Friday, we drove from Prescott AZ to Palm Desert CA to spend the weekend with relatives. Even though the distance was only 260 miles, and the terrain is similar, there's a big drop in altitude, from 5300 feet to about sea level. So, it was 34 when we left Prescott and reached 92 in Palm Desert. My uncle told me that Palm Desert had 127 days of over 100 degrees last year.

I love working on the lawn! Matter of fact, when my son was old enough to do so, I still would not let him as that was MY job. He does not take the time to do it properly and wants to race through it.
I have mowed twice and got the pre-emergent down but have a lot to do to make my yard look the way I desire. We moved last year to a new place and the previous owners had moved 5 months previous to us buying the house. Thye idd mow regularly but did not fertilize etc,,, and the crab grass took over in the summer.
I am planning to mow the lawn when I get home from the office today. I am excited as I just got a new riding lawn mower!

Re: Whats the weather like today - 04/24/08 01:23 AM
My son cut the grass Saturday. It was fertilized Friday, and with the soaking rain Sunday, followed by 3 warm sunny days this week, it needs to be cut again.
The lawn is thick and green, but nothing compared to my next door neighbor, who lives for his lawn. He aerates, patches, overseeds constantly. Last year he installed a series of sprinklers throughout his lawn and divided it into zones. At designated times the sprinklers in various zones pop up and go to work, and he loves to watch them.
He loves to sit on his porch and watch the lawn. he told me once that if you watch closely enough and long enough, you can actually see the grass grow.

Klyd, I have to tell you that my relatives in Italy think that our American lawns are hilarious. They kept asking, So you seed it, water it, fertilize and cut it? Yes. And you just WATCH it? Yes. You can't eat it? No. And then they would almost wet their pants laughing.
Sort of puts things into perspective, doesn't it?
The weather is perfect here. Got the pool open early, although we haven't turned on the heater yet.

The weather has flip flopped from sunny and 80 to cloudy and in the fifties all week. Last Saturday is was a gorgeous 80 degrees out. I spent the day with my sister and spent the night at her house. I woke up Sunday and it was raining and about 50. I spent the better part of this past week with a miserable cold. This morning it was cloudy, but now it's Sunny and about 80.
Maybe since it's no longer April the showers will go away. My rose bush has loved the rain though.

It's suppose to be in the low 60's all weekend and rainy.

The weather really sucks today. It's the middle of May and it's only in the 40's out there. We can't even plant our garden yet cuz the plants will die if it frosts. I'm sure it will tonight.
I took the dog out for a walk and I froze. I need to dig the winter coat back out.

We get some really bizarre weather out here in the high desert:
We had no rain at all in April, and daily humidity was in the 4-9% range. Temperatures in the mid-to-high 70's, and high winds, making for extreme fire danger. Then last night it turned cold and rained. Also got some snow in the higher elevations. People are deliriously happy with the precip.

It will be the same here too. Long Island USUALLY runs a few degrees cooler due to the ocean effect (the sea breeze usually kicks in about 2:00 p.m. and lowers the temperature) but it will still be over 90° the next three days.

Beth,
Living in California I tend to forget what "muggy" really is. Yes, it gets hot here and hot is hot no matter how you slice it.
Howver, a couple years ago I went to Michigan in the summer to visit my family. As soon as I got off the plane, walking through the airport, I could feel the mugginess/stickiness. I thought to myself, "oh yes, I remember this." The temp was in the low nineties but the humiidy was either very high, OR I forgot just what mugginess is.

My in-the-wall A/C unit in this room can't keep up when it's this hot, especially with the sun pounding down from the West in the afternoons.

I feel your pain Beth. When we lived in hell(WV) we didn't have any kind ac. Just box fans and ceiling fans. Our bastard landlord would not let us put a window unit in.
And when it rained he said we had to close the windows so the rain wouldn't come in. And he lived next door. He would always call and ask us if we had the windows shut. I told him I wasn't gonna burn up just cuz it was raining.
What a blessing it was to move out of there.

Re: Whats the weather like today - 06/07/08 10:58 PM
That's horrible Mig. I don't know about Renter's rights, but I don't see how a landlord could tell you not to put a/c in, unless he knew the house wasn't equipped with enough power to support it.
When it's hot like this having the box unit in the window is hardly enough. The one in the bedroom works well, but I don't have a tv up there, so unless I'm reading or taking a nap that does me no good.
I keep thinking I want to invest in central air, but whenever my daughter finally moves out I'm selling this place and getting out of dodge. So why spend money for someone else to enjoy.

The wind is picking up, and my neighbor's tree branches are banging into my bedroom window. Since it's lightning I had to turn my window fans off. As much as I want to move out of this house I don't want it to burn to the ground.

Only I've always have tended to be "always" chilly and am able, for some reason, to stand the heat more than the 'normal' person. Nobody at work will ever ask me "Is it hot in here?" It's like a joke. They'll start to ask and then say, "look who I'm asking." I get teased all the time by them.I too am the one that bitches when the air is so high I'm freezing.

They are announcing another earthquake in Greece. Living in earthquake country, I am just a bit nervous seeing all these weather disasters. Is our turn coming up? Is this a sign?
Every now and then I get freaked out. When my kids were young they were always with me. Now, I think we will all be in different places and if this happens, communication could be lost and none of us will know if the others are ok.
For some reason I got a "freak-out" moment I guess.

We had some severe thunderstorms earlier this evening and I lost my electric power for about three hours. The heavy rain and wind came in different stages, so I had to keep the windows closed for awhile.... it got pretty warm in the apartment.

The National Weather Service is coming out to the Bethpage golf courses today (about 5 miles away from me) to survey damage that may have been a tornado last night. Three of the five courses are closed because of a LOT of trees being blown down.
Two more days of this heat.

Today is supposed to be the hottest day yet. I have to go to a luncheon at my co-worker's at a building that's about 2 blocks away. With it being 100 degrees at lunch time I think I'd rather stay here.
I never thought I'd look forward to seeing 80 degree temperatures in my life.

Window unit. I have it set to 70° so the compressor doesn't have to go on/off too frequently. This is the fifth year I've had it, so hopefully it'll make it through another season.
What's bad is that my apartment is on the top floor of a house, and it's right under the roof. My landlord's place (downstairs) is a LOT cooler. I don't have any a/c in my living room and it's currently 89° in there (even with a ceiling fan going).
My cat and I have camped out in the bedroom for the past three days. He still insists on cuddling next to me in bed (but I don't really mind).

Re: Whats the weather like today - 06/09/08 06:37 PM
I'm on the top (second) story as well. It's nice in the Winter, but not so much with days like this. I have in-wall units as well, one in my "office" and one in my living room. My kitchen gets hot as hell cuz the air doesn't reach. My bedroom faces the east so by bedtime it's not too bad then, but it does get bad when the sun starts pounding down in the morning...

Never underestimate the comfort of friendly feline.
We have a heat pump and the a/c is pretty good in the house. The basement, which is exposed, stays nice and cool and the ground floor is pretty comfortable. On the second floor our two front bedrooms get the warmest as they face the afternoon sun. We often need to keep a fan on at night for my son.

Dunno if it's a brownout (the tv picture didn't shrink and the p.c. wasn't affected) but I'm afraid of an electrical fire, so to be safe I turned the a/c off. The temperature in my bedroom went up at least 20° in the last 30 minutes.

I remember when a heat wave hit shortly after my wife and I moved into our first house in August. We had one air conditioner and wanted to get through the summer without buying another one.
We would spend time in shopping malls and go to a movie. We felt that the movie didn't have to be good because it was worth $5 to sit in a soft chair in an air conditioned theatre for two hours.

Re: Whats the weather like today - 06/09/08 09:41 PM
After being in the house basically all weekend stepping out today was a real blow. It literally feels like opening your oven door and sticking your head in while it's heated. The breeze we have is just circulating heat. And to make it worse the first bus I catch, which is the longer ride, had no a/c. Uggh! Double Uggh! Halfway through the ride when we got to the stop by the MTA bus depot they had another bus with a/c waiting for us to transfer to. By the time it felt cool it was time to get off. I went to the store and got a bottle water for the wait for the next bus. I have a 10 minute walk home from that ride. I had to stop a few times because I felt like I would keel over.
I actually sent an email to my BGE home website about installing central air. I might have to hanker down and pay to get it. After only 2 days I'm feeling it already. If I want to die that bad I'll just put a gun to my head. It'll be quicker.

My house had central air, but the previous owners removed it and put in wall air conditioners. I wanted in the worst way to put it back in, but my wife doesn't want to. She hates A/C. I just called home from work, and despite it being 99 degrees outside, she doesn't have the A/C on.

I hadda go out for a few hours this morning, and I am COMPLETELY wiped out from the heat. It took me a few minutes to peel off my t-shirt when I got home ... it was literally stuck to my skin.
It's already 96° here but I'm comforted that it could be worse. It's 101° by Geoff now!
A local news flash - Roosevelt High School (here on Long Island, and the same school that Howard Stern went to) had to be closed because students and teachers started passing out from the heat.
Bring on those thunderstorms - it's supposed to be cooler tomorrow!

I had to go down Grand Central early this morning. I left my house at 5am and it was already stifling. It's just gotten worse as the day has progressed.

We didn't get our 4:00 thunderstorm as promised. It was still stifling hot when I left work. I took my umbrella because they said showers between 3:00-4:00. I stood there like a fool.
The weatherman just said it's still 95 degrees out. As I sit here it does look like it's getting dark out. Hey, only 3 hours late, but I'll take em. Of course that would mean I'll have to shut the upstairs windows.

TIS, the older I get, the less able I become in dealing with the summer. The heat never bothered me as a kid... I'd run around all day long in 90+° weather and wouldn't be bothered by it. Now, if I even hear on the radio that the temperature is gonna be 90° I start to sweat and get tired. I really hate a/c but I'd be dead without it now.

Actually, joking aside, and in spite of the fact that I tend to "take" the heat better than most, I do agree. I will not choose to stay out in the 100 temp unless I have to.
Ideally, for me, 80/85 degrees would be perfect. And to go further in my idea of "ideal" weather - 80/85 with no earthquakes/hurricanes/tornados, or snow and at least one monthly thunder storm for the excitement.

Re: Whats the weather like today - 07/23/08 06:12 PM
South Jersey has been hot and humid this week and today we're suppose to have afternoon thunderstorms that will continue into tomorrow. The unusual thing here is the cold ocean water. Yesterday it was 59 degrees; about 8-10 degrees colder than normal. The reason is the prevailing winds have been southwest/west. This blows the warm surface water out to sea and the cold water comes up from the bottom. This action is called upwelling. This past weekend the water was a little warmer - 65, but it dropped back to the 50s. Shrinkage.

The torrential rain lasted all night and well into this morning.
About 3am we had a wonderful thunder and lightning storm that seemed to rip the very night open

Actually, in my area most of July and so far the first week in August seem to be unusually cooler. Not that it's cold, BUT usually July has mostly over 100 temps but this has not been the case this year. We've only had a couple days above 100 in July, and so far in August and according to the 5 -10 day forecast it'll be in the 90's and even high 80's a couple days. Can't complain. It's perfect as far as I'm concerned.

Post-Tribune staff report
Gary: The National Weather Service measured winds up to 68 mph.
A tree stretched across the road making it impassable on Connecticut Street between 47th and 48th avenues.
One street west in the 4700 block of Massachusetts Street, resident Tammi Washington reported Gary city workers arrived in the morning and moved a tree that was blocking the road. "I'm just glad that big tree didn't fall on my house," she said.
Her mother, Julia Bishop, said last year's August storm was much worse. "It took me three days to clean up my yard," she said.
At 47th Avenue and Delaware Street in Gary, a NIPSCO light pole nearly snapped at its base and arched at a 45-degree angle. Crews from the Indiana Department of Transportation worked at the site.
Griffith: Griffith experienced extensive damage. Winds of up to 80 mph tore roofs off houses and downed trees, which fell on cars and streets. A spotter reported seeing a funnel cloud Monday night. Survey teams from the National Weather Service are walking the area, assessing the extensive damage to determine whether a tornado touched down. Wind speeds in Griffith were measured at 80 mph.
Public works employees worked throughout the morning to clear major roads, remove trees and debris and assess damage. Town Council President Rick Ryfa said the area in the north side of town was hardest hit, suffering from downed trees and power lines and severely damaged buildings. The town’s safety committee will meet at 2 p.m. today.
Hobart: Fire officials said a southwest side houes collapsed after sustaining severe wind damage.The city’s public works director also reported 62 large trees fell during the storm.
Merrillville: Winds were measured up to 70 miles per hour.
Michigan City: A large tree branch fell on a moving car during Monday night's storm, killing the driver who leaves behind a 22-month old son. Timothy Decker, 23, died instantly from head and chest injuries, said LaPorte County Deputy Coroner Mark Huffman.
Portage: Police Sgt. Keith Hughes said the city did not receive much damage from the storm, although some roads were closed because water and debris. One building that was damaged was the police station, which got hit by lighting, he said.
Valparaiso: The roof of Jimmy Johns on Lincolnway was torn off by strong winds Monday night and ended up landing on a car. The loss of the roof lead to water dripping into Jimmy Johns and destroying all the inventory, General Manager Rhonda Mercaldo said.
Schultz Flower Shop on Calumet Avenue reported flooding that damaged merchandise. Owner Sandie Sims said the water had ran through her store and flooded surrounding businesses.
Valparaiso residents living east of Silhavy, from County Road 500N to Division Road, plus businesses in the industrial park on the city's east side are asked to limit the amount of water they are using because Knode creek has flooded a main sewage pumping station.
Wanatah: A law enforcement officer reported spotting a funnel cloud 2.5 miles east of Valparaiso at 12:28 a.m. Tuesday.
Residents of Wanatah spent the morning clearing branches and other debris from yards and roads after a tornado blew threw the rural town Monday night. Residents reported hearing sirens go off soon after 9 p.m., but the storm continued until early in the morning. Power outages were reported on the north and west sides of town. Roads east of the downtown area were virtually impassable from fallen trees, which were being cut by chain saws and removed.

We continue to be lucky here in SoCal with temps in the mid nineties (usually it's 100+ for over a month now and we've only had a couple of those days so far). Anyway, we are in a drought and could use some rain though. I'd love to see it, but I could almost bet a year's wages we won't get any significant rain in the summer in Southern California.

Rains in Valpo called "worst in decades"
BY PHIL WIELAND
pwieland@nwitimes.com
219.548.4352 | Saturday, September 13, 2008 | No comments posted.
VALPARAISO | For the second time in 40 days, the city was dealing with a deluge Saturday that flooded basements, closed roads and forced businesses to shut down.
"We're not sure now many inches of rain we had, but it appears to be the worst anybody can remember," Mayor Jon Costas said as he toured the Hawthorn Subdivision, where he described the water running through one backyard as "like a rapids" at one point. By early afternoon, the water had receded about five feet but was still "like a waterfall," he said.
Costas said the storm was even worse than the one Aug. 4 that dropped about 7 inches of rain on the city in addition to causing heavy damage from high winds. High water on Saturday closed Calumet Avenue by the Cumberland Crossing shopping center, Glendale Boulevard at Valparaiso Street and Burlington Beach Road between Campbell Street and Hemlock Drive.
"I was talking to a resident on Burlington Beach that has lived here 70 years, and he's never seen anything like it," Costas said. "We certainly have areas we have to look at and take a more comprehensive view of solving the problems."
National Weather Service data suggested Valparaiso received from 3 to 5 inches Friday night and overnight into Saturday.
Billy Jack's restaurant and Majestic Jewelers on Calumet Avenue in the strip shopping center across from Cumberland Crossing were closed because of flooding damage, while the neighboring Cartronix reported it was open although the carpet was soaked by the water.

Really? Christmas? I think I did hear some areas got snow.
It's beautiful here, probably in the high 80's during the day (unseasonably warm) and cools down to the high 40's, l0w 50's at night. Anyone notice that they've not changed the time from Daylight savings yet? Usually it's changed the beginning of October. I notice it's still dark in the morning when I leave for work.

Not anymore, TIS. They changed Daylight Savings from October till the first week of November a couple of years ago. They say it's to save energy, but I think it's so the resort areas down south and out west get an extra hour of daylight for a couple of more weeks. More sunlight, more golf, more becach concessions, etc...
I know, I'm a conspiracy nutjob. But Bush was in office when the change was made.

A few years back I actually wished I could buy land in Nevada (it was really cheap, even in the city of Vegas) Then it's value skyrocketed and now I hear it's real cheap again. Can you imagine? Buying say a condo for, I don't know, 50,000/80,000 or less...California falls in the ocean and Wala.......accidental millionaire with beachfront property. How cool would that be? Although, I don't know...a millionaire living in Vegas....might be short lived if one is a gambler.

Can't say it never rains in Southern California this week. It's been cold and rainy. Kind of nice really, except I'm not thrilled about driving the long distance in it.
Anyway I even heard this morning we might get thunder storms tonight. The announcers were all excited. We don't get much bad weather here and it hardly ever thunders, so to us it's a treat. They'll milk out these thunder storms for al they are worth.

After a cold snap on the weekend (high 34, low 20) it rose to 60 today.

BLIZZARD!
Quote:
A blizzard warning is in effect for late tonight through noon Tuesday.
According the the warning, a blizzard with whiteout conditions is expected. The warning was an upgrade from an earlier blizzard watch.
The National Weather Service said a strong winter storm system across the Dakotas will reach northern Illinois and northwest Indiana by tonight. There is a likelihood of falling and blowing snow with strong winds and extremely limited visibility.
Accumulating snow is expected to begin this afternoon, with 2 to 5 inches possible across far northern Illinois and 1 to 3 inches elsewhere, the weather service said.
Strong northwest winds gusting to 35 m.p.h. will result in significant blowing and drifting snow and possible blizzard or near-blizzard conditions overnight into Tuesday morning. Visibility may be less than a quarter-mile, and travel will become extremely dangerous and may become nearly impossible, the weather service warned.
Arctic air moving into the area behind the system is expected to produce windchills of 15 degrees below zero to 20 below late tonight into Tuesday morning.
Today's high is predicted to be about 26, but temperatures will fall to about 4 tonight with windchills as low as 8 below.
On Tuesday, temperatures will fall to around 1 below by 5 p.m., the weather service said, with windchills as low as 21 below. The low in the evening will be about 6 below with windchills as low as 17 below.
A separate winter weather advisory also has been put into effect from 3 p.m. to midnight. The advisory means that there may be travel difficulties.

Strong northwest winds gusting to 35 m.p.h. will result in significant blowing and drifting snow and possible blizzard or near-blizzard conditions overnight into Tuesday morning. Visibility may be less than a quarter-mile, and travel will become extremely dangerous and may become nearly impossible, the weather service warned.
Arctic air moving into the area behind the system is expected to produce windchills of 15 degrees below zero to 20 below late tonight into Tuesday morning.
Today's high is predicted to be about 26, but temperatures will fall to about 4 tonight with windchills as low as 8 below.
On Tuesday, temperatures will fall to around 1 below by 5 p.m., the weather service said, with windchills as low as 21 below. The low in the evening will be about 6 below with windchills as low as 17 below.
A separate winter weather advisory also has been put into effect from 3 p.m. to midnight. The advisory means that there may be travel difficulties.

In SoCal it's the time of the year when it's cool in the morning and evening, but "could" warm to the 80's during the day (even tho an average winter daytime temp is around 58/62ish maybe). Anyway, 80 degrees today. I love it. It was in the 60's and high 50's the last couple weeks, This is unseasonably warm right now.
We do have strong winds though.

Two people were killed this morning in a 25-car pileup on the Indiana Toll Road in Porter County.
John Liefbroer, 69, of Chesterton, died at Porter hospital after being taken from the scene of the accident at the 29-mile marker. Another person in the Liefbroer's vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Coroner Victoria Deppe. Family notification has not yet been made so Deppe could not release the name.
Snow and cold were freezing up area roadways Wednesday morning, as low visibility and slick pavement have caused dozens of accidents. The State Police reopened the toll road at about 1:30 p.m.
The toll road crash involving “numerous” vehicles closed westbound lanes of the Indiana Toll Road west of the U.S. 49 exit around 10 a.m., said State Police Lt. Dallard Tackett.
Reports indicated at least 25 vehicles were involved in the pileup.
Tackett said it will likely take workers hours to clear the highway, and troopers are diverting westbound traffic to the Borman Expressway.
Don Parker, a Wanatah resident and former Post-Tribune Newspapers in Education co-ordinator, whose vehicle was totaled in the crash, said the roadway about two miles west of the exit became “like glass” and that vehicles slowing to avoid the wreck began fish-tailing.
“People weren’t even going that fast. Back east of us the road was almost completely clear,” said Parker, who braked to avoid a tractor trailer that had begun to swerve in front of him and wound up skidding sideways into the back of the trailer.
“I”m fine, but I’m looking at cars in the ditch all around me,” said Parker, calling from his cell phone shortly after 10 a.m. “I’m going to have to wait for a tow and I’m done for the day, I think.”
State Police are dealing with dozens of crashes on the Borman and Interstate 65, including a six-car pileup on the westbound Borman east of Ripley that has slowed traffic to a crawl, said Sgt. Ann Wojas of the Lowell Post. Road conditions have deteriorated steadily since snowfall began around midnight, and drivers must slow down, Wojas said.
“When I was driving in, people were blowing past me at 75 miles per hour in the left lane, which was completely covered in snow,” Wojas said. “You have to slow down.”
More than 3 inches of snow has fallen in some parts of Northwest Indiana, with southern Lake and Porter counties receiving the deepest accumulations so far, said Charles Mott, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service office in Romeovill, Ill.
Snow is expected to continue into the evening, with as much as 7 inches blanketing some areas. Temperatures also will continue to fall, to a low of -6 degrees by evening, and wind gusts of up to 35 miles per hour will create a windchill of -24 degrees, Mott said.

How many times we gotta tell ya? A real don doesn't wear shorts.
We had 4" of snow here before it turned to rain... Now there is some VERY wet snow (it has a LOT of water in it) on the ground and it's gonna freeze up tonight. I'm glad I have no appointments tomorrow and I have enough food in the apartment so I don't have to go out in that yucky mess.
Next chance to a big storm is next Wednesday... still too early to predict if it'll be rain or snow BUT there's the potential for a LOT of whatever it'll be to fall.

Mig is gonna get buried (in snow) next week. LN, I think you're too far west to be impacted. klydon, you may be too far east to get a lot of snow.
Mig, stock up on your SpaghettiO's. There's a good chance you'll see more than a foot of snow next Tuesday.

Looks like I'll miss the blizzard. Hang in there, mig and goombah.
We got about 5" of snow yesterday, followed by freezing rain, which made clearing the driveway difficult. Usually, I could push the fresh snow off, but this snow was heavy (commonly called the "heart attack snow"). My son and I shovelled out my next door, who are spending the week in sunny Southern California. If you let it go untouched and let it freeze, you almost need a pick to get it.

Our snow has gone!!!
Bleached it down all day yesterday, causing all sorts of problems with roads and airports and power cuts. Then at 11pm it just turned to torrential rain that washed it all away
Apparently the south and the west of the country have still got it bad but i want to know how snow can just vanish and move when you live in a country the size of a postage stamp?

Lake-effect snow alerts in area
February 3, 2009 4:54 AM | 1 Comment
A lake-effect snow warning is in effect this morning for northwest Indiana, as well as a lake-effect snow advisory for Lake and Cook Counties in Illinois.
Snow is expected to hit just as the morning's rush hour gets under way, working its way through the city and to the southern areas of Cook County between 5 and 7 a.m., leaving possibly an inch on areas roads.
The National Weather Service doesn't expect this band of snowfall to be significant, but enough to create slick road conditions.
As much as 1 1/2 feet could fall in Porter County, Ind., and a half foot in Lake County.
The system should end by early Wednesday, said Gino Izzi from the National Weather Service.
"It depends on the wind direction. If you get a shift of 10 degrees, we could see the Loop get 4 inches. It all depends how and if the wind shifts," he said. "But the model right now shows a direct hit at Porter and Lake Counties."

I can't wear more than a t-shirt past about 65 (if it's sunny) and I don't consider myself warm blooded or anything. About 40 I can see the need for a sweater or light coat. I think I am just built to live in a cooler climate. I like the beach and all but I prefer cooler temps.

A very crappy spring. Last night (1:00 am) we got one of those direct-hit thunder storms. Several blasts were very close: FLASH - BOOM!

The drive home from work last night was an absolute terror. It rained as hard as I've ever seen here in New York. A lot of flooding and almost constant lightning made it look like daytime (which turned out to be a blessing - I was able to see where the roads were flooded).
It came down so hard that the rain was actually going through the door seal and dripping on me.
The walk out to my car (from my office building) was pretty hairy. The really heavy rain hadn't started yet but the lightning was flashing everywhere.... and there I was walking with a metal cane in puddles. Two minutes after I got into the car the heavens OPENED UP.

With a pair of binoculars and some tree climbing skills you could get to see the action for free.
Talking of binoculars,young Matty came up to me the other day and kept saying "nocky me ass Daddy.nocky me ass Daddy".
He kept sayig it so in the end ,reluctantly i have to say,i pushed him over onto his ass!!!!!
That was when my wife informed me he wanted his BINOCULARS
When he got them he gained revenge ny getting me to "haffa look Daddy" and when he put them to my eyes he gouged them in and nearly blinded me!!!

Yes SC but she is up in Scotland and i am here in Newcastle. It is only a 2 hour drive but,perversely,my wife is at the funeral of her best friends mother this morning and the kids are at school. I have been ringing my aunts up there but their cell phones are switched off. Until my wife gets back we cannot sort anything out. I am pacing the house like a caged tiger. A hot, sweaty one at that!

If you guys have "evening hours" at the wake (like we do here) perhaps you can make that viewing.

One "good" thing about California (SoCal anyway) you can nearly "always" plan a BBQ or picnic in the summer and chances of a bad day are nil to none.

Re: Whats the weather like today - 07/03/09 06:40 PM
We've officially entered the "monsoon" season here in the high desert. From roughly July 1 to September 30, we can expect some rain and/or thunder/lightning every day. Monsoons are very important in this arid country, where water is an obsession. But there's a downside: lightning sets off wildfires (which can spread to thousands of acres in no time), and if the monsoons are especially heavy, more weeds will grow that become fodder for those wildfires.

If the ten day forecast is to be believed here in New York, we're going to get through the entire month of July without a single 90 degree day. That's never happened before. The 80 degree days are great, but I've needed a jacket at night more than once this summer.
Ask Al Gore how about that for an inconvenient truth.

Well it's been hot here. I actually went to the pool here yesterday and spent a couple hours swimming like a fish. Can't tell you how many years it's been since I've been swimming. It was 97 today and according the the forecast will remain in the high 90's and possible triple digits.
I had to drive out to Temecula (which is always hotter) and it was 104 degrees. I don't mind the heat, but even I have turned my air on the last couple days.

We're in the middle of the monsoon season here in the high desert. We get a brief, intense, often highly localized, period of rain each day. Been hot, too--high 95 or 96, low 70. Temperature stayed into the eighties as late as 10 p.m., also very unusual for here.
Last week we were in Seattle and Vancouver. Temperatures were in the eighties there--unusual. Yesterday I heard that the high in Seattle was 96--and 104 in Vancouver. Incredible!

It was 102° in Seattle today... an all-time new record.
Somehow we switched coasts here in the U.S. The Pacific northwest is known for its cool, rainy weather, and that's what we have in New York this summer; they have our heat and humidity.
What's gotta be hard on them there is many people don't have air conditioning. The news reported that there isn't a fan to be had in the area (they're all sold out).

Thanks for asking, TIS, but no, we don't miss NJ. We bought our home here in AZ almost five years ago and had been going back and forth. So we had plenty of time to adjust. By the time we moved here permanently, two years ago, we were tired of going back and forth.

Kly,
Here in CA September is very much a summer month. However, on the plus side, it usually cools off enough in the evening by Sept. that you don't need your air at night(at least I don't, but I seldom use my air anyway.) We Could eve get a rare 100 degree day or two in October, but it's shortlived.

Anybody here from the Atlanta area?? What a nightmare they've had there with all the flooding! They just played a 911 call made by a woman whose car was swept away, unfortunately with her in it. They just couldn't get to her in time, and she couldn't get out of the car.

Bad stuff in the southeast (Atlanta). A small article in our newspaper yesterday - a two year old drowned when the family trailer home was split in two by a flooded stream. The child was swept away. What a heartache.
Supposedly global warming will cause more extremes in weather.

Not at all.... the ocean water off the south shore of Long Island here gets up to the mid 70s every summer (thanks to the Gulf Current). It's like the low 60s even off San Diego.
Go swimming in the Gulf (off Florida's west coast) and it's like taking a bath... the water temp often runs close to 85° and higher.

The east coast is getting hit with one of those classic November Nor'easters. We're in the 2nd day here in South Jersey. Cape May county is in a state of emergency. Its suppose to last until Saturday morning. Many beaches are washing away. Luckily it is between new and full moons so high tide is not as severe. I drove down to the Longport beach at 9 am and the wind was wicked. They were cleaning sand off the streets near the beach where the ocean breached the sea wall.
My nephew lives in north Jersey, on the beach. He was on the NJ12 News this morning. He no longer has a beach. These storms are worse than Hurricanes because they just sit in one spot for a couple of days - The Perfect Storm.
The streets stay flooded. The water can't drain.

It hasn't started here yet but the forecasters are sticking with about 15-18" and very high winds. Dunno if you remember the 1960-61 winter, MC, but it started off like this one and it was a great winter for snow-lovers.

My husband's company brought in three men from India to work for him. They arrived in the US in late May of this year. This past weekend's snowstorm is the first snow they've ever seen. They were completely fascinated, like children. My husband was very honored to share the experience with them and to teach them how to make a snowball. The thing that amazed one of them was that he left footprints in the snow. He thought it would be more like sand.

The good news is that it is only going to last another 10 days so they reckon

An afternoon snow storm is expected to drop 3-5 inches of snow on Metro Detroit followed by plunging temperatures that could turn freeways into "Slip 'n Slides."

Well right now it's 1 degree above zero, although it feels like -12.
Starting on Sunday and lasting all next week we're suppose to have a heat wave with the highs in the mid 20's to mid 30's by weeks end
after last week I won't know how to handle it, after going 2-3 days where the windchill was like 35 below.
Thankfully I love the cold weather so it didn't affect me.

Have you ever thought about putting a wood stove insert in your fireplace?
When we lived in VA we had a wood stove in our family room. I was great it kept the house toasty plus it really saved on the gas bill. Plus if the power goes out the house will still be warm. I really wish we had one here.

I have a cooler outside where the cans of beer have been frozen to the bottom where the water had frozen. The beer itself is not frozen, so I went to chop the ice to free myself an icy cold beer, but accidentally struck the can that exploded and sprayed beer all over me.

That's funny, Counselor
. When I was still a young apartment dweller, I used to put my beer on the fire escape all winter long. I remember one time I forgot to take them in and they froze solid. I was still in my very early 20s and not making much money, so losing a case of Michelob bottles (I drank Michelob back then) was heartbreaking for me.

Normally several inches of snow over 2 or 3 days.
This spell we have had snow constantly for over 3 weeks and upto and over a foot of snow on the ground most of the time. The last cuople of days we melted away but like i said we had a bit more last night.
This has been officially the worst winter in over 30 years.

SC,
I remember those days very very well. I know it sounds like an ol' geezer story, but I remember walking to school every morning rain/shine. Warm coats, scarves, gloves. I hated going outside and feeling that cold go right to your bones. My sister and I went to Catholic school and it was about 1 mile or more away from home. Luckily my grandmother's house was on the way, and most of the freezing days, we'd detour there and have my dad pick us up on his way home from work.
It's funny because I wouldn't have thought of having my kids walk that far to school when they were young. Yet, it was not uncommon then.

As much as I hate snow, I do have memories, as a kid, of actually making snowballs and snow forts. I did go tobogganing on occasion and even ice skating. But even as a kid, I never enjoyed the winter like I did summer.
I always hated that I couldn't feel my fingers and toes, and even now, just don't like the freezing cold.
As I got older the more I disliked it. I remember heating up my car for about 15 minutes before I'd leave for work, so it'd be nice and toasty when I went in...from the house to garage to work.

Hi Mig,
No, fortunately, I'm not in a mudslide area.
The bad thing here, when it rains, is people can't drive. It's a constant light rain but the freeways come to a standstill. No doubt, you'd probably laugh if you'd see how freaked out people get here.
Even tho the visibility is really not bad and you should be careful, IF I were working, I'd definitely leave at least 15 minutes earlier and prepare for crawling traffic.

I have no idea Oli but good question. I know (and like) that song. My first instinct would be to say, "well, it rhymes" but that's not the rhyming word in the lyrics. They could have used any number of other places (Seattle maybe).
Southern California has always been mostly sunny as far as I'm concerned. The only possibility (as far as the song is concerned) perhaps they refer to Northern CA which, from what I understand, is cooler and does get much more rain than us. Blib would be the expert there.
But yea, who thinks of California as cold and damp.

I didn't know until I saw your post. I checked our local L.A. station and apparently they say the winds are strong enough to produce a "tornado" in the L.A. area,including Long Beach and some of O.C. including Santa Ana and Anaheim (which is probably the closet city to my area). They said the warning is til 1:15 which means it should be done now. I'll keep my eyes/ears open.
My SIL works in that direction. I called my daughter and luckily, it's his day off so that's good.
Truth be told, with no basements here, I have know idea where I'd run to.

I've been away too long. I was trying to think of what "B" word related to weather? Although blizzards are a bitch aren't they?
On a serious note, they just announced an earthquake in NoCal. I don't know any details but hopefully just a shaker and no damage.

The cutoff line on this is as sharp as I've ever seen. Beth may have over two FEET.... you MAY get a foot.... I'll probably end up with 2-3" and north (i.e. Sicilian Babe) may not see anything!

The local 10:00 news is showing Geoff's hometown live on tv. The snow has started falling heavily now. In a north/south setup, I am only about 50 miles north of him .... he looks to get as much as 18". I will likely end up with about 4".
Beth looks like the grand prize winner with this storm.... she MIGHT get over two FEET.
The topper? The mid-Atlantic (near Beth) may get socked again in the middle of next week.

Right now it is bright and sunny out.

It has been a nice day to do my taxes on Turbo Tax and get a REFUND! It started snowing here at 6 pm Fri night. Its still coming down. Not as much as poor Beth, but we're on our way to 18". At 9am there was a foot+. It tapered off for awhile, but its back with a vengeance. I shoveled a little, but got yelled at for trying to have a heart attack. I have a plow coming Sunday. Meanwhile ...sex drugs and rock and roll...well, maybe some red wine and a Godfather marathon.
I shoveled a path down to my car.
The birds are eating ok. Note the pine tree bent over. There is a little yellow oval to the right of the feeder. That is the top of a bird bath pedestal about 2 ft under the drifts.

Yeah, I'm really not looking for any snow either. Grand Rapids is on the west side of the state. It's about 2.5 hrs away from me. This morning the news said that the western side of the state would get more snow-maybe as much as 8-10".

Here in Tessio Territory (aka The Wilds of Brooklyn) it's calm now, but we're being readied for a possible/probable snow dumping Tuesday night into Wednesday.
We dodged the snow bullet the other day, but local TV meteorological prophets of doom are more pessimistic this time around.
So tonight or early tomorrow I'll probably go to the local grocery stores and stock up on essentials for myself and the cat. I already have some essentials in the cupboard that I bought in preparation for the storm that missed us, so I'm partially prepared at this point.
Since I'm only teaching one day a week (Mondays) at a local college this semester, I can stay indoors - but this Wednesday I have to travel into Manhattan to teach a special morning workshop for a bunch of out-of-state high school students. So I'll be keeping my fingers crossed and hoping I can travel by subway (above-ground in Brooklyn) on Wednesday morning.

Wednesday morning won't be a problem for ya, SV. The accumulating snow won't start to pile up until after the morning rush. Depending on what time you come home might be a factor.
I remember worrying about getting home on days when we had heavy snow (when I lived in Brooklyn). The trains sometimes could not make the grade after Newkirk Avenue. I'd have to take the MacDonald Avenue train.

I remember a big storm here over ten years ago (?) when I had to take that train and then walk down Kings Highway to near Ocean Ave. (where I live) loaded down with around twenty pounds of equipment because the buses weren't running due to all the snow. And these days, I'm a lot older and quite a bit slower.

You got that right. Plus the Col has Tues/Wed off. I'll be nice and shovel the front porch.

Snow is one thing, but ice is pretty scary too. I use to hate driving when the road was a huge ice skating rink.
Not only that, I was prone to fall on my ass a few times too.
One of my early memories, when I was in 4th grade, at Catholic School. We went to mass every morning. I had on boots walked in church, tried to genuflect, slipped on the icy/wet floor and did an embarrassing little soft shoe with my legs kicking in the air and fell flat on my ass. The entire school (all of 100 kids) laughed like crazy. I know I was beet red and quickly slid in the pew.
Snow, who needs it?

It is supposed to start light snow just as I leave for work. The heaviest snow will come at lunchtime. It's not supposed to stop until tomorrow morning. Forecast says 6-10 inches. Commute home will be a pain.

Lilo, what you get today, I get tomorrow.
Long Island looks to be the bullseye for the NY area (this time) with about 18" expected.
As bad as that will be, it isn't as bad as some others on the board will have. Geoff is looking to get another foot or more (to add to the 18" he got on Saturday). Beth, down in Baltimore, looks to add about 18" to top off the 30" she got this past weekend.
I'm off to the supermarket in a little bit...

But, IF you do see me in the supermarket, I'll meet you in the Frozen Food aisle (headlight city).

Re: Whats the weather like today - 02/09/10 11:01 PM
Geoff, it's worth it to spend the money on a good one. I think we paid about $500 for ours, and that was 13 years ago. Although, honestly, you can't really use one with two feet of snow. You have to do it a couple of times during a storm, like the plows.

Long Island has been upgraded to a Blizzard Warning.
Besides the heavy snow later, we'll be getting some VERY windy conditions this afternoon. I'm debating on whether I should go get bagels now (the bakery opens in about a half hour).

This is atrocious. Along with a foot or more or snow, winds are supposed to gust to 50 mph. This is looting weather. That is, if people could get out of their houses.

We have about a foot right now, and it's snowing like crazy. I can't believe how it's coming down. Someone rang our bell at 10:30 this morning and asked if we wanted to hire him to shovel. The snow had barely started! My husband took his number and told him he would call him later.

Re: Whats the weather like today - 02/10/10 07:56 PM
Oh, it's coming down now all right. When it was JUST starting about an hour ago I went out to try and clear out where the plow had already blocked the driveway. Wasn't deep, but it was WET and HEAVY as all hell. I didn't last long out there, so it's gonna be a nightmare when this is all said and done.
...and if I remember correctly when I was a kid, snowblowers are pretty worthless when it's this wet and slushy.

Same down here. The rain was doing a good job on the snow, but it started snowing about 12:30pm and now its windy and blowing snow
. I brought work home. Enough for two days. Drove my wife to work today. There was no one on the roads. All the schools are closed. Picked her up when the snow started. OOOOO, just had a power flicker. Good thing I have a little UPS/Battery Back UP. It works quite well. When the power dips I hear it click on immediately.Its going to be another messy dig-out; heavy stuff. SB, good luck up north where its suppose to snow.

My husband put a 12" ruler outside to measure the snow. It was buried hours ago. He and the girls just went out to try and get ahead of the shoveling. It's pretty nasty out there. Still coming down, but not nearly as much as it was.

Heatwave roasts Rio, kills 32 in southern Brazil
RIO DE JANEIRO (AFP) – The worst heatwave to hit Rio de Janeiro in 50 years turned the city into a pre-Carnival furnace Wednesday, and killed 32 elderly people further south, officials said.
According to the Inmet national weather service, recorded temperatures in Rio were well above 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees) -- and felt more like above 50 degrees.
"The heatwave in Rio is seen as historic. February right now is the hottest month for the past 50 years," meteorologist Giovanni Dolif told the O Globo daily.
On Monday and Tuesday, the scalding conditions proved deadly for 32 elderly residents in Santos, a city close to Sao Paulo and 350 kilometers (220 miles) south of Rio.

Tuesday Morning we went to my in-laws to visit with the Col's Sister who got out of the hospital. They got about 5 inches. We spent the night cuz we didn't want to take a chance and get stuck.Plus they canceled my son's school for Wednesday.
We just got home tonight about 11pm what usually takes 1 1/2 hours to get home took 3 hours tonight. My Son has has no school for Thursday either. No more snow days. We got 3 more inches while we were gone.
I can't believe how much we are getting. 6 more weeks of Winter.

Re: Whats the weather like today - 02/11/10 04:11 PM
Here in Upstate New York we are all laughing at what we are reading and seeing on the News.
The whole East Coast shut down. The Government Closed ! ! !
People screaming about the snow that fell or is going to come!
The real problem is that most of theses folks just aren't use to getting that much snow. When we hear 12-14 inches up here we just figure that we have to get up a bit earlier and clean things out before heading to work or school.
On a normal winter day we get 2-3 inches per 12 hour shift.
You get and clean what fell overnight and then hit it again if things came down during the day.
On a good year with lots of snow we can get 175 inches of snow in the Syracuse area and maybe twice that in the tug hill area with all the lake effect snow and all.
But we are use to it and we have what we need to deal with it.
Like here.... we have our own personal snow plow, 6 snow blowers between work and the house. And a dozen 5 gal. gas cans a couple of dozens of good snow shovels.
We put them by every door and in every car and truck we own. Then we have a few tons of ice melt and rock salt. Which helps with the ice and helps melt the snow as it first falls. Pails by each door and garage openings or ramps.
City and Town and County plows start real early here and the guys who run them love to work and collect overtime pay!
Everybody has at least one snow brush and an ice scraper in their cars and of course gals and gals of windshield washer fluid to clean your windshield from all the salt they put on the roads.
We have had a great winter so far this year. Very little if any snow in Oct, Nov and December. Some snow started to fall just a week or so before Xmas. But in three days we got hit with almost 48 inches of snow right after. Then the first two weeks of January added 25 inches more. Now it is just some here and some there. We even had a week of 40 degree weather that cleared most of the snow away, except for the snow piles that most years takes till April or May to melt some years.
Most of the nice big storms have gone South of us or North of us. You folks have gotten the last few that we normally get, so we are very happy to share it with you all!
See up here we ski mobile and snow ski....and just make the best of it. Schools close when the wind chill gets so many degrees below zero or maybe if we get those big storms that can drop 2-3 inches an hour. How do you think that feels when you plow and shovel and you turn right back around and redo it, because you can't allow it to get ahead of you.
Big storms up here have been 36 -48 inches in a 24 hour period.
You get up one morning and the snow is up to your chest before you take the first shovel full! You open the garage door and no light come thru until the door is almost 2/3 the way open!!
Thank the lord it doesn't happen every day. Some pictures in years past show people skiing or ski mobiling near the tops of telephone poles after the snow drifted in spots.
After a while you wonder where you are going to put the snow. You are so sick of it that you almost cry when the weather people tell you that there is more on the way. That is why so many people up here head South for the winter.
Anyway it has been an easy winter for us this year. Thank God, but we still have several weeks left, and who know what it will bring.
Regard to you all

The record was broken at the Atlantic City Airport - 48" for the winter. Old record 46". I'm sure Fatherson is laughing at that, but down in South Jersey they know how to react to a Nor'easter of rain, but not snow. Coming from downstate NY I know how to react to a weekly snow storm, but we had two within 5 days. That even had me on edge. They don't have enough plows here. The people don't know how to drive in snow and the people that do plow don't know how to do it effectively. Please bring on the sun and ....I'll take 50 degrees.

competition? Come on now, where did I say anything like that?
I was just pointing out how different it is here and how people down there are not use to things.
"Your mind is going soft with all that shoveling you've been doing"
I remember some of the people from way up North who use to tell us about how they had to plug their cars in at night so the electric heaters could keep the cars from freezing up at night.
and their heat bills cost them as much as their house payments during the winter months- Ouch!

My sister-in-law called this morning laughing so hard because she couldn't believe that they were closing the schools and everything else by the way because they MIGHT get some snow today. They are in Peach Tree City GA.
Last time we visited Texas, they had a bad ice storm and they were using sand to put on the roads and ramps. People were all off the roads.
People just aren't use to things and they just don't change their driving habits. It always takes the first couple of bad winter days to get people thinking about what they must do each year.
One thing for sure is...people can't be driving around on old worn out tires. Come fall if you don't have a good tread on them you better get new ones or stay off the roads. When the leaves start to fall and you get rain up here they can be very slick to drive on too. They clog up dains and sewers and flood the roads. So it reminds people to start to think about winter.
One problem is the cost of new tires have gone thru the roof these last couple of seasons and the people just don't have the extra money to replace them. Like the old man says. You can't risk YOUR LIFE or the cost of a new car trying to get the last little bit out of set of worn tires.
And for Pete sake, slow down. Just because the car will drive thru this crap doesn't mean they can stop you on a dime when you put on the brakes. So many people feel so safe with big 4 wheel drive SUV and trucks. They forget that it doesn't mean it will 4 wheel stop.

It's the same at my Daughter's house in Newport News, VA they use sand on the roads . They got 5/6 inches a few weeks ago while we were there and the roads were awful. They don't even plow the neighborhoods. Not enough equipment.

Here it is Saturday (as I write this), and already the local weather forecasters are predicting 3"-6" of additional snow this coming Monday night into Tuesday.
This is all getting a bit tiresome, to say the least.
On the "plus" side (if you can call it that), I have Monday off from teaching my class (Presidents' Day holiday), so I won't have to commute.
Looks like it's back to the local grocery stores to stock up on provisions!

It's gorgeous out. It's gotta be 50 degrees already here in New York City. I was in Florida for a couple of weeks, so I missed the big snow storm, but my neighbors tell me it was a doozy. Evidently, we even lost the power on my block for like 36 hours. Thankfully, there weren't any perishables lying around the refrigerator. But to be safe, we tossed everything that was in the freezer .

El Nino is gripping the entire West. We've had the harshest winter in five years here in the high desert of AZ. Today it snowed and hailed constantly. The sun would break out, then darken, more hail and snow. Snowed and stuck at 41 degrees, snowed and didn't stick at 34 degrees, fog...absolutely crazy.
Last year we had a total of 11 inches of precip. So far this year we've had 9.

It's been sunny and around 60 here for the last few days. I would say that about 80% of the snow is gone, but areas in shade are still white, and the large piles in the corners of parking lots are still there. This weekend it's supposed to be in the mid 50's and it's going to POUR for three days. The ground is already saturated from the melting snow, so I don't know what's going to happen once it starts to rain.

Re: Whats the weather like today - 03/14/10 01:15 PM
Since Sept 09 we have had at least five Nor'easters on the Jersey coast. The ground is saturated. Major puddles everywhere. Yesterday I went to the beach to see how things were blowin'. The Ventnor fishing pier extends out into the ocean. I walked out about 100 yards and stood behind the fishing shack. I nearly got blown over walking out there. Always with my camera, I took a little movie of the action. This morning at 6:30am I was awoken by a massive thunder storm that shook the house. Uh-Oh, here comes another one.
Jersey Shore Nor'easter
For you folks in other countries or other parts of the US, a Nor'easter is storm that hits the East Coast of the US and is caused by Low pressure over the Atlantic Ocea. It rotates in a counterclockwise direction-winds from the Northeast. They can be more destructive than a hurricane. Often they just sit off the coast and keep pounding away.

Re: Whats the weather like today - 03/14/10 01:44 PM
Cool vid, MC, but it is almost impossible to capture the power of a storm like this on tape.
Yesterday's storm was the worst we had in a while here. I had a peak wind gust over 55 mph and that's only average of some of the numbers. My house was creaking and groaning all day long (I have a new cat who didn't like those sounds at all ~ on the bright side, she came up on the bed and slept next to me for the first time).
Huge trees are down everywhere, and the flood-prone areas (mostly in Jersey) are living up to their reputation.
4-5" of rain and winds over 40 mph is not a good combination!! And just like MC experienced this morning, we have some big thunderstorms due in about a half hour.

I went to get my Dad last night, more for my own sanity than anything else. He lost his power, so I knew I wouldn't sleep worrying about him.
Anyway, he lives up in Lake Isle, in Eastchester, which is just about 8 or 9 miles due north of where I live. Well, the Hutchinson River Parkway, which floods out during even a mild storm, was closed, as was the Bronx River Parkway. It took me 2 hours to get up and 2 hours to get back. There were so many power lines down that I had to swerve a few times just to avoid them.
Just awful. It reminds me of a Florida storm, because I've certainly never seen anything like it up here.
And SC, you're such a weather geek! But I mean that with respect. You really get passionate when you're "covering" the weather for us here on the GBB. I think you're more passionate about your weather forecasts than you are about The Godfather!

Never mind, it's probably over your head.
What happened to the roof? Did you lose shingles or was there actual damage to the roofing itself?

Looks like you may be getting some more rain tonight. Hopefully it won't amount to much.
I can't believe the amount of damage that the area received.... as pizzaboy said, this is just about the worst I've ever seen in the area (with the exception of Hurricane Donna in 1960). HUNDREDS of huge trees are down all over the place.

We certainly got serious rain, and the local reservoirs and streams are close to overflowing;however, I don't think we got the wind that most everyone else got. I think that's what caused most of the damage.
We were hit badly in Hurricane Floyd. Was that in 2000?

Floyd was 1999. I remember because it was my daughters 3rd year at Villanova. She had to evacuate her apartment because a nearby stream was overflowing. The cars in the parking lot were completely submerged. Fireman had to help them evacuate.
I heard the NY Thruway was closed on Saturday due to flooding.

We got hit during Floyd when the dam at Hyenga Lake broke. It was bad. Our backyard sloped down toward some woods and our girls had a swing set at the bottom at the time. It was completely submerged. I would have felt fairly comfortable doing high dives off the roof without worrying about hitting my head.

Monday and Tuesday...too much rain. Wed cleared, Thurs was clear, sunny, cool, and today....we're suppose to reach 80, same Sat. and Sun. 75! I took off today for mulitple reasons, but in about 30 minutes I'm loading my bike and heading for the A.C. Boardwalk for a nice 12 mile ride. Hope to see my grandkids today too. This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad!

Yogi, here in the states our impression of England is that there is an abundance of rain. Has this year been worse than normal. Here in the Northeast USA, we have broken records for precipitation. I just heard on the radio that this could be a bad year for mosquitoes because of the numerous pools of water that are not normally there.

MC, we are over blessed with rain usually but not so bad this year so far. Of course we had record snow fall early on. The main rains will probably come in the summer.....as usual

DeNiro,
Are sunny days real rare? What is the average weather there in the UK. We tend (or at least I do) to think of foggy, overcast days.
Here, absolutely gorgeous in the 80's. However it'll drop by about 10 degrees tomorrow and the weekend. Still, can't complain.

Geez, it's not bad at all here. It's about 82/83, sunny and clear skies. Perfect actually! Usually June is known here as being overcast but this June we've had more sunny days than overcast days.
That being said, our heat is coming for sure. Of course we don't get the humidity that many of you do, but once it gets in the 100s, hot is hot, no matter how you slice it. Yet, I don't miss that muggy feeling.

The ugly weather in Jersey/NY finally broke on Sunday evening with many violent storms across the area. The National Weather Service confirmed that a tornado touched down in the Bronx (pizzaboy, you OK?). Down in South Jersey there were scattered power outages. Some folks are still in the dark two days later. The good news...the temps went in to the 80s and the humidity dropped. 100 degrees and 98% humidity is not fun.
Went for a jog on the boardwalk today and a dip in the ocean. Very nice. Water temp about 75.

Well we're continuing our unseasonably cooler weather here. By which I mean in the 80's as compared to the 100s. If the extended forecast is accurate, it's going to remain this way for the next week. Can't complain. It's beautiful!!!

MC,
I think maybe you got the heatwaves we didn't. It's been an exceptionally beautiful summer. By that I mean, much less triple digit days all summer. It was in the 100's for a few days last week, but it got to only 70something today and the rest of the week will be maybe in the 80's. Perfect actually. Thanks for taking the heat for us.

Our pleasure! NOT. Yesterday it hit the low 90s, but the wind was kickin' up. This morning at 6:30 it was 58, clear blue sky. Went for a bike ride on the A.C. boardwalk. Repeat weather for Friday, Saturday. You can have your heat back.

Re: Whats the weather like today - 09/09/10 02:12 PM
Right now it's in the mid 60s. Of course it's still early, but the prediction is only high 70ish AND beach highs only in the 60's. I can't believe how easy we've had it (heat-wise) this summer. Granted, September is still a summer month here and we MAY get more triple digits, but at this point, it's almost over.

Metro Detroit may see a record high temperature for today's date as a layer of low pressure in Minnesota pushes warmth our way, according to the National Weather Service.
The area is expected to flirt with hitting 89 degrees, the record set on Sept. 23, 1936, said weather service meteorologist Steve Considine who works out of the service's White Lake Township reporting station.
"We might either tie or break that record," he said.

We've had an exceptionally pleasant summer if you ask me. It's been in the 80's most of September. However, I heard this morning that by tomorrow it'll be 101. Just when you think you're out, they pull you back in.
September can still be a summer month here in CA but I don't expect many more 100 plus days, at least not in a row.

You all will think I'm totally nuts, BUT I didn't think it seemed that hot yesterday. I did run my air for a short time (my place is small and cools quickly) but slept comfortably without it. What can I say I take the heat better than most. I suppose if I end up in Hell, it'll be a piece of cake.

Update: Only will get to 101 (in L.A.) today but expected to break and cool down considerably within the next couple days.

I saw the weather story on the national news this morning and they're touting this storm as one of the biggest of recent history. It'll hit Indiana and Ohio later but is not expected to reach the east coast with its current intensity (although we're expected to get strong t-storms tomorrow).
Got a feeling we'll see some big snowstorms this winter.

We're getting the beginnings of it now.
10,000 powerless after windstorm blows through
The National Weather Service has allowed tornado warnings for several counties in Michigan to expire, but more such alerts could come through this afternoon.
Tornado warnings had been issued for Livingston, Shiawasee, Monroe, Lenawee and Ingham counties.
Weather service meteorologist Matt Mosteiko said weather radar indicated a strong possibility of tornado activity, but there had been no reports of actual tornadoes as of 12:30 p.m. High winds were reported as high as 75 m.p.h. in parts of Michigan.
Mosteiko said the storm is heading to the northeast at about 55 m.p.h. and was likely to sweep into metro Detroit and the Thumb early this afternoon, he said.
As of 1:30 p.m., there were about 7,233 Consumers Energy customers without power in outstate Michigan, particularly in western and southwestern Michigan. Muskegon County had 1,600 outages and Jackson County about 1,240, said Terry DeDoes, spokesman for the Jackson-based utility.
The state is currently under a high-wind warning and will remain that way until 9 p.m. for a storm coming through called a Great Lakes cyclone, which could of be one of the strongest the region has seen.

In the states we don't think of the UK getting lots of snow. My sympathies to you. Last year South Jersey had a freakish winter. We had three major storms of shin-high snow. Major pain in the arse.
I hope you lads dig out without too much pain. Beside the amount of snow, is late November a bit early for snow where you live?

A terrible day indeed. Its even worse north of us, Lilo in Michigan probably knows first hand. However, I am looking forward to watching Da Bears play New England today @ 3:00. This ought to be one heck of a game in Chicago! BRRRR!

It's not bad here as long as you stay away from Columbus that place is pathetic. I have to work downtown there, but that is all I ever go there.

We had about 6-7 inches of snow. We may get more tonight and it is very cold. Several of my more senior work associates are taking the opportunity to work from home..

Well I was hesitant to post "good" weather when so many of you are hit with blizzards, but if TB can so can I.
Absolutely gorgeous here too. It is in the low 80's with the temps dropping to around 40 or so at night. It is unseasonable to be this warm in December, but will cool way down to the low 70 & hi 60's later in the week. Sunshine blue skies...(isn't that a song?) Anyway, I'm not gonna complain that's for sure.

It's cold. It's too damn cold to walk the dog. It's too cold to go to work. And there's about 2 inches of ice on the side streets because it's too cold for the salt to do much good. Lots of cars are abandoned on the side of the roads. Basically it's what this song describes.

Certainly not NEARLY as bad as some of our members are experiencing, but I have 3 inches of snow in my area and it's still snowing. Normally I wouldn't even mention that small amount but we weren't forecast to get anything more than flurries.

Isn't that known as Sound Affect Snow? From Long Island Sound.

Re: Whats the weather like today - 12/16/10 10:22 PM
25°F (-4°C) with a dusting of snow, and somehow the roads are treacherous and all backed up with traffic. Was going to my folks but turned around after a few blocks.

Re: Whats the weather like today - 12/16/10 10:41 PM
Geoff.... it's looking more likely for a nice sized snow on Sunday (for the Jersey shore and Long Island)....
We had a few inches the other day.... it packed down and froze. Thank God the sun got rid of most of it.

Yesterday I had to make a 250 miles road trip to Altoona, PA for business. I rode with a coworker. We left Williamstown, NJ at 4:15am for a 10am meeting. Made it to Altoona in 4+hours, had breakfast, went to the meeting, left Altoona at 12:30 under a light flurry. The snow was sticking on the road, but driving was ok for the first 80 miles. About 40 miles west of Philadelphia we hit horrendous road conditions; many accidents; roads jammed with cars. We never went faster than 20 mph and that was short bursts. We got back to Williamstown at 8:30 pm - 8 hours. Worst weather related traffic I have EVER been in. The one inch of snow became ice and caught everyone by surprise.

Re: Whats the weather like today - 12/18/10 06:28 AM
Exactly, MC... I have no problem driving in snow, and quite enjoy it. But the black ice deal is a nightmare and no fun at all! That drive you took sounds horrendous!

How much snow do you have? I just see the news spots and I see where some people are getting feet of snow?

Beth, we aren't as bad as we were a couple of weeks ago, when we did have feet of snow. Just 3-4 inches today but it is so cold. at 9 o clock this morning it was still -7 C and it is -4 now at 2pm
The south of England are getting it bad this time round, Heathrow airport particularly where holiday flight chaos is causing all sorts of problems!

Re: Whats the weather like today - 12/21/10 02:15 PM
If her flight involves Heathrow she may be kaput cos they are struggling...although they are talking about bringing the Army in. I don't see what good invading the airport is going to do though?

Hey GL, I'm a South Jersey boy (via New York). Amen to that weather. I'll bear the cold to escape the snow. Last winter at this time we a foot of snow on the ground. It's been a little colder than usual, but I'll take it.

Re: Whats the weather like today - 12/30/10 05:08 PM
Weather up here in the High Desert is really wacky:
Snow started falling yesterday morning when the temp was 39.7. By 11:30, when temp dropped to 37.2, it started accumulating on the roads. By 1 p.m., same temp, it was melting on blacktop, and by 5 p.m., it was completely gone on blacktop. But at 8 p.m., with temp at 36.5, it started accumulating big-time. Woke up this morning to a foot of snow, and it’s still falling. Temp will drop to 15 tonite, meaning plenty of ice. Since we’re on the east side of our street, we’ll probably have it for month.
And people back East think all of Arizona is 117 degrees all the time...

Saturday I went out for a jog in shorts. 51 degrees and the 15 inches of snow is almost a memory. My neighbor went to Georgia just before the big storm. He's coming back today and there is not a spec of snow in his driveway I had to fork over $140 bucks last week to plow my driveway, tip the guy who towed my car out of a drift and tip the guys who shoveled my daughters driveway.
