Not a cloud in the sky, but bitter cold now. And no relief from the sub-freezing mark until at least Tuesday.

We are experiencing a week of temps in the teens at night. It was an inch of snow and ice this past Monday.

NBC News and msnbc.com updated 1/25/2011

A 14-year-old boy died of exposure while walking home from a friend's house in the southwestern Alaska village of Kipnuk, Alaska State Troopers said.

The temperature was 50 degrees below zero, with winds up to 70 mph, local NBC station KTUU reported.

Having a heatwave today. Finally got above freezing.

Sad about that boy. Why would those people let the boy go out in 50 below zero?

Dunno what it's like by you, Geoff, but I've just watched six inches of snow fall in the last two hours alone. This is as hard as I've ever seen it snow..... THE SKY JUST EXPLODED

We had over 50 inches of snow in the last 30 days. uhwhat eek eek panic

I think we got about 14 inches, and the school's are only on a two hour delay! That's ridiculous. I know they've used up snow days, so let's put the kids at risk by having them wade out to the bus.
Posted By: SC

Re: What's the weather like today? (2011) - 01/27/11 03:15 PM

We ended up with 15 inches here.

Some miscellaneous bits of info:

New York City officially recorded 19 inches; this is the 8th largest storm on record for the City's history. Five of the top eight storms have taken place within the past 6 years!! (records go back over 140 years).

This now is the snowiest January on record.

We've already reached 50" of snow this season (a very rare number in NYC), and the season is only half done. We had 50 inches last season, so this is the first time since the 1916-17 season we've had back-to-back 50 inch snowfall winters.

We're well on the way to breaking the all-time snowiest season of 75 inches (1995-96 season).

South Jersey got about 3 inches; slushy underneath and powdery on top. Bearable. My empathies to the NYers.

My mother's family was from Kingston, NY. They arrived a few months before the famous Blizzard of 1888. My father used to joke that the Indians chased them down the Hudson when it froze over.

(Many parts of it have ice covered areas now).

Thanks for the memory jog TB --- Tex Antione! What would Dr. Weatherby say? Tex was Hi-tech with his magnetic face-parts and marking pen. He was probably as accurate as Doppler 3000 and those big computer touch screens with the expanding views. Down here in Philly we have some weather babes on WABC; Cecily Tynan and Karen Rogers.

I remember the oldtimers in Nyack, NY telling me that there was one winter that they could drive across the Hudson where the Tappan Zee Bridge is today (3 miles across).

Re: What's the weather like today? (2011) - 01/31/11 06:26 PM

My son, like all kids, used to get all leaped up about snow in the forecast. He'd catch the forecast on the 10 pm news from Fox, but insist on staying up to catch the 11 news forecast on NBC because Al Roker was the weatherman. Al always hiballed the forecast: if one station predicted 4-6", Al would predict 6-8". "Al's a dude," my son exulted.

BTW, our unbroken string of great weather here in the High Desert came to an end. We had snow this morning (already melted), but Wednesday's high will be 33, low 13.

Luckily it seems (so far) the Shore will be spared from the brunt of it. Maybe an inch or two of snow / wintry mix, and then rain / freezing rain. At least I hope so!

Not typical Texas weather. Funny how critics were saying that Giant Stadium was not proper for a Super Bowl because of the weather, but of course they are closing the roof in Dallas. Dallas may likely be colder than NY come game time. Crazy.

Live weather report as of 7:00 a.m. CST from North Central Illinois...in the words of Frank Barone; "Holy Crap!". Snow drifts, freezing winds snow and all around miserable conditions! Everything is closed. A few of us made it here to the printing plant - I begged a ride from a guy with a huge 4 wheeler. There was no way to get out of my driveway this morning...drifts at least waist high! Many smaller towns around us have no power and the thunder snow last night was eerie! Dogs were going crazy! I got a guy coming to clear my drive way later once the snow and winds die down. No way i can shovel that mess!

I'm looking for someone to do mine. Too much and too heavy. I gotta shovel a pathway so my wife can walk to the door and that's gonna just about kill me.

Below zero cold and miserable in North Central Illinois. Now we get to "dig out" and try to get life back to normal. Many roads and portions of Interstates are still closed. Locally we got 13.5" of snow here in town and within a 50 mile radius, measurements range from 12" - 20". My daughter can see Lake Shore Drive from her dorm room in Chicago and said it looked like a parking lot yesterday. Thank God that darn ground hog says spring is coming!

Re: What's the weather like today? (2011) - 02/03/11 01:46 PM

University of Illinois @ Chicago (UIC) - she is less than a mile from Soldier Field. She loves the big city! Funny thing is that my mother and all her family lived in the Vernon Park neighborhood on Aberdeen Street back in the day. The University was expanding and bought out the real estate that their apartment buliding occupied and tore it down for campus additions. Now my mother's grand daughter goes to school there and dorms close to the old neighborhood. I gotta get to Tufano's, I haven't been there since I was a little kid. Any body know a good time & day to get right in without the big wait?

As I was driving home yesterday, the radio reported the temp at A.C. Airport was 59 degrees! When I got home it was 49. I put on my shorts and went for a short jog around the neighborhood. The wind was a little chilly, but it was nice to run without long tights, gloves and a wool hat. Happy dig-out to the mid-Westerners.

Well, the ice storm tuesday night got the better of me. I was traveling south on Rte 81, which was a skating rink. I got to an exit about 60 miles from home a little after midnight, and ended up spending the night in my car. I was parked behind a couple tractor trailers. I fell asleep listening to the steady beating of the persistent sleet and George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass."

It's in the teens again and the cars are covered with several inches of snow. Apparently, this may continue into next week. Schools are closed again today. getting to the SB is going to be a monumental undertaking. I bet there will be more empty seats than Jerry Jones wants to see.

Were you on the mountain top near Frackville? Isn't that always one of the worse weather spots in PA; fog, rain, wind, snow...and that's in the summer. I was suppose to head up to the Valley this weekend for MIL 86th birthday, but the weather on Saturday doesn't look promising.

Were you on the mountain top near Frackville? Isn't that always one of the worse weather spots in PA; fog, rain, wind, snow...and that's in the summer. I was suppose to head up to the Valley this weekend for MIL 86th birthday, but the weather on Saturday doesn't look promising.


You got it. I was 5 miles south of Frackbille. But that stretch from mile marker 106 to 140 is like another world. I have driven through blinding fog and blizzards before through that area and suddenly find myself under sunny blue skies. I'd look back in the rear view mirror to see if I had imagined it, and it would be an ominous wall of gray. It's the real twilight zone.

Well, Southerners like moi don't get a lot of the white stuff, so when it comes, it's both scary, and yet, entertaining to watch. Prelude: The local weathermen (they CALL themselves "meteorologists," but they're weathermen) broadcast that a "Winter Storm" is imminent. It can be 1/2" or 10" accumulation possible, but all of that's irrelevant: it's SNOW-MA-GEDDON, man!
Stage II: The local yokels freak! Suddenly it occurs to them that *gasp!* there's no milk! The bread's almost gone! I gotta buy a tank of gas! We could be snowed in for days! Maybe even weeks!
Stage III: Grocery stores & gas stations are overwhelmed. People cuss, shove, and honk furiously. Curiously, liquor stores have a bonanza in sales.
Stage IV: The snow arrives (and, sometimes, it DON'T...thus, our omniscient "meteorologists").
Stage V: OK, we end up with 5". Some try to go on in to work, most won't. Yours Truly braves it. No problem, for the most part. But I never worry about ME...it's my fellow Memphis morons that frighten me.
Stage VI: By the end of Day 2, after 5" of snow fell over a seven-hour window, there were over 300 wrecks (and those were just the reported ones)! The sun comes out, the snow is mostly gone. But it doesn't matter because those who called in because of snow today because of snow, will undoubtedly call in tomorrow, too...but this time, they're suddenly "sick." The real reason? (1.) Tomorrow's Friday, and (2.) Most are hungover from their liquor store stop yesterday!
Welcome to Memphis under snow these last 48 hours! (BTW: These poor saps can't drive when it's dry and sunny, either!) Hey, I love my fellow Memphians, but, as someone once said, "It's easy to love folly."

Sunny today, but gearing up now down South for coming floods. Already in Memphis, every river is rising...and the Mississippi hasn't even crested yet. Memphis just got some wind damage and outages from the recent twisters (no fatalities), so we dodged the bullet; but flooding may be a different story. Still, I count myself far more fortunate than those poor people in Alabama. That place looks like Berlin in 1945. My thoughts and prayers go out to all who lost family or friends in the tragic twisters of these last couple of weeks.

Re: What's the weather like today? (2011) - 04/30/11 10:47 AM

Thanks, TIS & MC. Our power was out just 2 days last week, and we whined and complained. But seeing what occurred this week to others certainly puts things in perspective. Lots of personal stories emerging. One was of an elderly couple. The wife was bedridden and on oxygen, but the husband would not leave her to save himself, and the twisters moved too fast to move her. Both were found dead, the husband's body over hers as if to shield her. But, thank God, there were some amazing stories of survival, too.
I've seen some really callous comments from people on other sites: cruel jokes about house trailers, stereotyping "stupid Southerners," and the like. The anonymity of the Net brings out both the stupidity and true hearts of some people (if they can be CALLED "people"). I pray none of them would ever learn for themselves the folly of making such remarks. Also, some don't take into account the enormous size, speed, and brutal power of those storms. Siren or not, many just didn't have time. Also, people should bear in mind that there just aren't many homes with basements: since frigid cold is a rarity, there's no need to dig deep for burying water pipes and the subsequent basement. TIS shared about earthquakes; coastlines are vulnerable to hurricanes, and desert places to wildfires. Chaos has no map, and doesn't show partiality, regardless of where one lives about the compass. Having said all that, I must add that the negative comments were far surpassed with positive and encouraging ones. May God help all those affected by these tragedies.

TIS, "a run". I remember awhile back when you kicked the smokes. If you are running, I assume you've conquered the habit - fantastic! I did a 2 mile jog this morning; 48 degrees, dry and sunny. Great weather.

According to the weather folks, the global warming is affecting the weather by creating more extremes. People take global warming literally, but not the case. The oceans get little warmer which triggers other factors like hurricanes and high and lows in barometric pressure and greater contrasts between high and low pressure systems - hence a greater chance for tornadoes and severe weather.

Yeah, Icelandic is my first language, but English has been a very big part of my life since I was very young. Then when I grew older I started reading a lot of English. Classic American literature is something that's very dear to my heart. Also, being a pop culture junkie from a very young age and watching a lot of American movies certainly helped me get a better grip on the language. Here on the forums most people assume I'm an American, but the funny thing is that even in America, they assume I'm an American. Using an Icelandic accent in America always leads to the same question: Are you from Russia? After a while, that gets tiring.

Thank you for the compliment smile. Compliments never get tiring lol.

I sure am. The average temp during the summer is like 50 to 55, but some days it can go up to about 75. Not much more than that. The winters go from about 30 to 50. The weather here is really bizarre. It's almost like the twilight zone some days. It's windy one second and then the next it's completely calm. Sometimes rain and snow take turns within the same day.

My fingers are definitely crossed. I still remember the Freeway Complex Fire back in 2008 that struck Orange County. I hadn't even been living hear for a full year yet, and I'm thinking "Oh geez...is this what I have to look forward to for the next few years..." lol

The Brea Fire was sparked because of the fire that started in Corona. The fire snaked along the 91 Freeway all the way from Corona (which is in the Inland Empire) all the way up to Orange County, as far as Anaheim Hills. The Brea Fire was literally 2 miles from where I live. There was so much smoke, and so much ash falling from the sky, you could barely breathe. My girlfriend and I happened to be ON THE 91 FREEWAY as they were closing it, and we drove through a patch of smoke and fire that had me convinced we'd taken a wrong turn right into the mouth of Hell. You couldn't see anything because of the smoke, there were almost NO other cars on the road, and the flames were shooting up everywhere. It was quite literally the most terrifying experience of my life. Thankfully I had a 12-pack of Heineken and a fifth of Crown Royal waiting for me when I got home! lol

If I'm thinking of the same fire, that IS the one I refer to that was close to me. I live in Corona, just on the OC border, the the 91/Green River area, just a few miles from Anaheim Hills.

We lucked out here. God only know why, the the wind was such that it was blowing totally away from my complex and toward OC. I've been here almost 5 years now and thus far that is the closest I've ever been thank God.

It is always good to be aware and cautious but you DO get use to it though X.

Brea is only a couple miles away, right over the hill on State College Blvd. We could see the flames from where we were, and the smoke completely engulfed our area. There was so much ash falling it looked like it was snowing. It was pretty scary. I'm glad you guys made it out alright! smile

Re: What's the weather like today? (2011) - 06/08/11 08:37 PM

What ticks me off is the number of times they blame the fire on carelessness (throwing out a cigaret or whatever). I mean arson is bad enough but to be in the mountains, camping or whatever, and NOT take extra precaution where a potential fire is possible, is inexcusable. mad

You're absolutely right on that one! People who live here are quite aware of the fire danger in this region of the country, and some of them seem to not give a hoot. Their carelessness has cost a lot of people their homes and their lives. I'm not saying that all of the fires here are caused by people, but as you said, the ones that ARE caused by people are just inexcusable.

I did all that touristy stuff quite a few years ago when I would come out to California to visit my girlfriend. Knotts, Disneyland/California Adventure, Hollywood, all of it. Speaking of Hollywood, I went to Pink's Hot Dog Stand on La Brea in Hollywood for the very first time a couple months ago. The line was incredibly long, but it was worth it. I ordered two chili dogs with mustard and onions. Best hot dogs I've ever eaten!

X,

Funny you mention Pinks. I can't say I've heard of it until today, and then it's brought up twice. First, this morning I was listening to Kearth and they are still joking about Anthony Weiner story. They were doing a "weiner" thing lol asking to call in and say what your favorite weiner was. Lisa Stanley (the female sidekick) said that Pinks was absolutely the best. Several callers called in to agree with her. First that I've heard of Pinks. Don't get to L.A. much and don't think there are any in the Corona/Riverside area.

Monday, June 13. My first dip of the year in the ocean. Margate, NJ, water temp 70 degrees. I had just finished a 3 mile jog on the boardwalk and drove 2 miles to my favorite beach and splashed around for a few minutes; body surfed one wave and then stood on the beach and gazed out at the vast Atlantic Ocean. In the words of Frank Costanza, "Serenity NOW!"

Sure could have used that heat today, PB - crappy weather, on-and-off rain. Had an outdoor event to attend this evening and - just our luck - it rained just before we started playing live music. We all went under a nearby building scaffolding for cover. But we played.

Beach Baby? Jeez - now there was a one-hit wonder for you! I actually have the single of that. 1974... I remember it well. Sort of... wink

It's now 100° in NYC and it's only noon. There's a decent chance that the City will reach (or break) the ALL-TIME record of 106°.

We continue to be lucky in my area. Normally this time of year the triple digits start in July and thus far I don't think it's reached 100 even once this year, making it a beautiful mid 80ish time weather.

Well, it's up to 103 degrees, and the weather forecasters are saying it may go even higher this afternoon. They're talking about possibly breaking the all-time one-day record of 106 (or was it 107? I forget...).

Cooled down by a thunderstorm. California bakes and burns and then has an earthquake to cool itself off. It's called Shake 'N' Bake.

It reached 104° in the City today, setting a new daily record and the first time it's been 104° since the day of the big blackout in 1977.

I didn't go out outside today.... I refuse to leave my air conditioned bedroom. I'm in a comfortable 77° room, MUCH better than the 93° kitchen/living room (which my cat seems to prefer).

It hit a clammy 104 yesterday and 103 today. This morning at 7am it was 82. I went to the AC boardwalk to ride my bike. Surprisingly there was a cool breeze off the ocean and it must have been in the 70's. Occasionally the wind would shift and you would be hit be something 20 degrees warmer - gross. I'm in my AC now at 75 and it feels nice. Step outside and it feels like a sci-fi movie - I'm on MARS! God help those without AC or a fan.

UNBELIEVABLE here today.

It was predicted we'd get rain all day long today and into tomorrow. It was also suggested we'd get over an inch of rain. Well, as of a few minutes ago, we've already gathered over five inches of rain (within the past eight hours) and it is still POURING.

We had the loudest thunder I've ever heard about 5 a.m. (along with VERY vivid lightning) followed by the power going out for four hours.

Here in SoCal, it continues to be unseasonably cooler. By that I mean it's beautiful into the high 80's (maybe 90's) BUT by this month we are usually well into triple digits for days straight. Not the case thus far. It's really perfect (at least for me). It's probably in the high 60's in the early morning, gets to around 85 - 90ish during the day and cools down to a comfortable temp at night. Can't complain. smile

The so-called weather professionals are all coming to similar forecasts now regarding Hurricane Irene. It looks to be taking aim on the general New York metro area, and I gotta tell ya, I'm getting a little antsy.

I'm not worried about flooding where I live.... I'm more than five miles inland from the ocean and the elevation is over fifty feet, but I AM worried about wind damage (big tree right outside) and the house already creaks when someone farts outside.

Last time we got hit was Floyd, in either 1999 or 2000, I forget. The dam at a nearby lake burst and the lakewater ended up in my backyard. I could have done high dives off my roof and not worried about smacking my head, there was that much water. Hopefully, it won't be as bad this time around, but thanks to over-development, there just aren't enough trees to soak up the rain.

You may want to get some sandbags to put against the bottom of the backdoor. Put down a heavy plastic tarp against the bottom of the door and then cover it with sandbags (five or six should do).

I remember Hurricane Donna (1960) and LOTS of trees were uprooted then. It was really sad to see but the amazing thing was the smell of wood as the trees sat in the streets for the first week after the hurricane. I hope that is not repeated with Irene.

I don't think sandbags will be necessary -- this time, I'll actually be home!

What I am a bit worried about are 3 big dead branches in the tree I was going to try to get rid of before the next blizzard. Maybe I should've acted on that sooner -- cuz they might come down. Not on the roof, but my fence -- or my neighbor's fence. ohwell

Edit: I should, tho, at least plan for the worst. Who knows what's gonna happen!

Re: What's the weather like today? (2011) - 08/25/11 04:42 PM

JG, when Floyd hit, we had some bags of dirt in the garage. We ended up using them to divert the water away from our garage door (and yes, TIS, we were in our bathing suits haha). We were lucky, because many of our neighbors got water in their houses that way. Don't underestimate the power of water.

I saw Mayor Bloomberg's press conference this morning, and he said that we might get 6-12 inches of rain, and we're already waterlogged. Better to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

Storm leaves thousands without power, halts festivals across Metro Detroit
Calvin Men/ The Detroit News
Detroit — About 100,000 customers were without power late Saturday night after a severe thunderstorm swept through Metro Detroit and ended early the University of Michigan's season opener in Ann Arbor and halted several Labor Day festivals.
A DTE Energy spokesman said the outages are spread across Oakland, Wayne and Washtenaw counties.
"We'll be working 16 hour shifts until the last customer is restored," DTE spokesman Scott Simons said around 11:p.m. Saturday.
There is a strong chance of thunderstorms throughout this morning and temperatures are expected to be in the high 80s Sunday.
Saturday's storm arrived around 7 p. m with heavy rain and lightning.
In Ann Arbor, Michigan Stadium was evacuated and the opening season game between Michigan and Western Michigan was called with 1:27 left in the third quarter. Michigan won 34-10.
The thunderstorms put a stop to many festivals with winds as fast as 55 mph and 1-inch hail raining down on the different Labor Day festivals in Metro Detroit.
In downtown Detroit, performances at the Jazz Festival were halted around 7 p.m. and festival goers were told to seek shelter from the pounding rain. After a rain delay of an hour, Jazzfest organizers called the festival off just after 8 p.m.
In River Rouge, about eight to 10 people at the Rouge Days Festival were injured because of the storm, said a spokesperson for the National Weather Service in White Lake Township.
The Weather Service reported several down trees and limbs throughout the area as well as a 20 x 20 foot tent collapsing and flying 100 feet away. While none of the injuries were reported to be fatal, several people were taken to the hospital via ambulance.

I've tried it, Yogi. I love all kinds of organ meats, from tripe to liver, so it's really no big deal to me. I mean, if my mother had made something like calves liver for me and my brother, and we didn't eat it, then we just didn't eat. And that's the Gospel truth.

Well, the ones in the Bronx (like Piper's Kilt) don't seem to have websites. But Piper's does a have a Facebook page.

The bigger joints in Manhattan seem to have their own sites. St. Andrews (on the west side) is one of the better known places. I went to a Christmas party there a few years ago, and I've gone back several times for dinner. Good steaks and whatnot. They also own a half dozen other places in the city. The links are at the bottom of the St. Andrews webpage.

Here's the link: http://www.standrewsnyc.com/

Re: What's the weather like today? (2011) - 12/11/11 04:53 PM

We had five days of on-and-off snow here in the High Desert. Only about 5" of accumulation. But temperatures dropped into the teens, turning it into ice. One thing about living in an arid climate: with little humidity to hold in heat, melting of ice depends on your exposure to sunlight. Our (steep) driveway doesn't get much sun, so even when the temp rose to the 50's over the last two days, we got little melting. This crap is likely to be with us for weeks.

But didn't you guys have a hell of alot of high temps this summer. I just got a email from my brother down in Yuma, that is where they go for the winters. He said it was in the 70's . Is this usual weather for you ?
Posted By: Turnbull

Re: What's the weather like today? (2011) - 12/11/11 08:05 PM

Frosty, because it's arid, altitude is the main factor in temperatures in AZ. We're at 5,300 feet, so typical winter highs are 40's to low 50's, lows 19-29. We get 10" of precip every year, some of it as snow. I'd say current conditions are typical for us at this time of year, including snow.
It was somewhat warmer than usual here last summer--more 90 degree days than usual. Yuma's a regular furnace, as are all the low-lying cities in AZ. Our state deserves its reputation as a state where you can get four seasons in one day. Yesterday's state high was 75 in Chandler, 1 in Bellemont.

Just for comparison: we went on an Alaskan cruise last July. Temp never got out of the 40's in Alaska. It was 59 when our ship docked in Seattle. Then we flew to Phoenix--and walked out to 116. whistle

Turnbull, Thank you for the info.. When I was younger used to take a few trips and such. I have been invited to come down to Yuma, but to hot for my fat ass. Sounds like you live in a good place. I have a friend that lived down in Buckeye, and she had to move to another area like where you are, because it was so damm hot and had breathing problems. She told me that it was in the 100 plus's. After having as many injury's and nuts , screws, arthritis, smoking 3-4 packs of lucky's a day I like cool to cold. Heck this summer about burnt my old butt up hare. The air was on all the time. One thing around here the humidty isn't that bad, lived down in Ks,area for 9 1/2 years I wish someone would have wacked me !

Like pc says, the county is changing.

Thanks, Again

Fairly nice here in the wonderful South of Jersey. Mid 40's going to 50. Not quite beach weather, but I'll take it. Last year we got whacked with a killer snow storm in mid December....15 inches of snow. So I'm hoping for a snowless winter. It's been mild and my gas bill says so.
Posted By: Turnbull

Re: What's the weather like today? (2011) - 12/14/11 01:06 AM

Temp finally got up into the low 50's for two days, and the ice in my driveway finally melted. Then, today, more snow.

Frosty, another characteristic of life in the High Desert is that we can get accumulating snow even if the temp is above freezing. Today we had about 5" here and the temp was between 39 and 43. I'm not kidding. Also, accumulations are acutely sensitive to altitude. This is part of the big storm that's sweeping the Southwest. We're at 5,300 feet. Above 5,500, they got 12"; above 6,000 they got 12-24". So, I suppose we're lucky. rolleyes

Another white day out very little snow out but things are nice and white with the frost 18 degrees , the forecast they say it is going to reach 40 to day '

Turnbull, thank you for the info. That would be sweet to have it 39-43 with snow. I know where I live and the higher you go up in the hills they get alot more snow that we do . I have always loved up in the hills, of course that is when I was younger and did some skiing. snowmobiling ,etc.. I am with you on being lucky. Do you have alot of trees where you are?

We have more trees than you'd expect in a "desert," Frosty. We don't have the typical desert landscape with sand and saguaro cactus (the tall ones with the arms). It's actually pretty green here. But we have no deciduous (leaf-bearing) trees.

And, I doubt you'd like snow at 39-42 degrees if you had to shovel my steep driveway. wink

Bad thing in CA tho is people can't drive in the rain here. Freeways slow down to a crawl at the slightest drizzle. rolleyes AND, if your on the freeway during 5:00 traffic, you'll triple your time to get to/from work.

That quote is similar to here where EVERYTHING is 5 minutes away, even if its really a half hour away lol. I don't mind it raining daily, which is why i wouldn't complain about living in Washington state, since they get a lot of rain.

Amen to that JG. After last year, I don't care if I ever see a snow flake. The Farmer's Almanac called for a Blizzard Jan 30-31. Sorry Mr. Farmer, won't even be close.

Either way, it's cold.

We have a forecasted high of 61 degrees, which is the equivalent of freezing by southern California standards. Seriously, as soon as the temperature drops below 70, you'll see people outside in UGG boots, scarves and earmuffs. It is pretty funny to see.

X,

Wait til you're here a while longer. You'll be one of those people. lol

When I first moved here from MI in 1980 it was September. Weather was maybe in the 70's and beautiful. It was around Oct when I walked my daughter to school that I saw all these kids at the bus stop in winter coats, with hoods, all bundled up. My husband and I would laugh at all these people. Hell, I got rid of my winter coat when I moved here. A few years later I'm freezing my ass off at 50/60 degrees. Then again, I'm a wuss. lol

It IS cold here though (50's) and very very cloudy. It was suppose to rain and looks like it but I haven't seen it yet. BTW, I notice in the Yahoo forecast for my area it mentions rain & POSSIBLE thunder. Ha ha ha...that's a big deal when we get "thunder storms."

BTW X, how about people here driving in the rain (or even sprinkles?) Ha ha ha. It's panic city man!!

Re: What's the weather like today? (2011-2012) - 02/27/12 06:03 AM

Here in Brooklyn (aka Tessio Territory - "Where you'll be safe." wink ), the sky is clear with a fragment of a moon and stars visible on a chilly night. Gonna get pretty cold tonight, so they say.

The only problem is, since I live in an urban area with many street lights, I keep trying to block them out with my hat (black baseball cap) or my hands so more stars are visible.

I think back to the days, many years ago, when I was living high on a hill on the south side of Syracuse back when everything was still rural. The air was freezing, but you could see thousands of stars on those clear nights. A few beers (Genesee swill, the local panther piss) and you'd pretty much forget where you were; you'd just stare at the beautiful starscape along with the woman next to you whose waist, hopefully, you'd have your arm around.

And so, to this day, I'm a sucker for clear, moonlit starry nights (throw in the appropriate Don McLean song for good measure wink ).

I went to college in Oswego, NY., right on Lake Ontario. Winds 50 mph, temps 0. A friend lived in Watertown, NY...worse than Oswego....he loved it. F that. give me chilly 61.


I was in overcoat, gloves, and hat.

Oli, at 61 the beach folks in South Jersey would be truckin' their beach chairs down by the ocean. At 45 degree they are wearing shorts and a T-shirt....maybe a Phillies hat.

We've had exceptionally warm and dry January and February up here in the High Desert (5,300 feet), with many daily highs in the low 60's and nighttime lows in the low 30's (50's and 20's is usual for this time of year). Yesterday we had 1-3" of snow. I was taught in first grade that water freezes at 32 degrees. What they didn't tell me is that snow falls--and sticks--here at 43 degrees. Nearly all gone today.

1962 Nor'easter

This week marks the 50th anniversary of one of the most damaging storms to hit New Jersey. The Nor'easter hung around for three days, peak winds of 84 mph, 25 ft waves. The flood waters could not recede through 5 high tides. Above is a short trailer of a documentary. The documentary is free to Press of Atlantic City subscribers. I haven't watched it yet. I've been through a couple of nor'easter, but nothing like that.

"Howdy Doody" was already off the air at that time. I was watching "The Twilight Zone" then.

I don't necessarily think so. Unlike tornadoes, we don't necessarily know when we'll get an earthquake. It's unusual to be this warm but we usually get a couple winter days like this where it's like our Indian Summer I guess.

I'm so ready for spring/summer. There are not season changes like back East BUT there is that Spring in the air today that I sure notice. I'm ready for shorts & sandals and Daylight Savings Time. smile

Few tornado touchdowns and now it's like June weather in March. Something is going wrong...
Tornado Cleanup

Quote:
Dexter— Gov. Rick Snyder visited the tornado-damaged Huron Farms neighborhood Friday afternoon, saying the state would assist Washtenaw County in any way it can in the clean-up and rebuilding efforts after a strong tornado ripped through the area Thursday.

"Thank goodness no one was killed or seriously injured," Snyder told reporters, as he was joined by U.S. Rep. Tim Walberg, R-Tipton. "But it's going to be a lot of hard work to help people get their lives back in order and we all want to be part of that."

Snyder also praised how a 26-minute tornado warning likely saved lives Thursday, when a strong weather system moved into southeastern Michigan, producing three tornadoes, including the one in Dexter. The tornadoes were part of a slow-moving storm system packing large hail, heavy rain and high winds that swept from Washtenaw and Lapeer counties and south to Monroe County.

Miraculously, no one was killed or seriously injured in the severe storms on a day that tied the record high of 77 degrees, fueling the system.

"It's really great that people took those warnings seriously and got under cover," Snyder said...

That's what happens when the polar ice keeps shrinking and the oceans get a degree or two warmer. It's that global warming thing that people keep denying. Weather Extremes. Last year New Jersey set records for snow. This year I got 1/2 inch. The biggest snow of the season in North Jersey came last OCTOBER....before the leaves were off the trees.

Tell me about it.
A few years ago, we had a wet winter, with plenty of rain and snow. The old-timers here called it the first "real winter" we'd had in a long time, and were ecstatic about about alleviating drought conditions and other benefits.

So what happened? All that moisture encouraged growth of wild grasses and weeds all over the state. The summer had a record number of wildfires. You can't win... rolleyes

You're right, MC. With the increased heat that we've been seeing, the storms will be getting more severe. Look at what has happened already this year, and it's just March. Generally the big tornado outbreaks don't start until April or May.

I'm afraid you are right. We've had more severe weather in the past five years, or so, than we've ever had before. Severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, etc. have done much damage to the infrastructures here. It's only going to get worse.

It's going to be 80 degrees today. It looks like I may have to start cutting the grass in no later than a week. We used to have 4 seasons. It seems like summer is expanding too much.

It's pleasant enough here, reaching the low 70's which is about normal. With all this weird weather back east and tornadoes and what not, kind of makes me worry. It's been too quiet here (at least as far as earthquakes) in my area. panic

We had 16" of snow on Sunday and Monday here in the High Desert--fourth-biggest 24-hour accumulation since records were kept. Luckily the temp warmed up. And, since it's spring, we're getting wider and longer-lasting sunshine. Most of it's gone by now. Brought much-welcomed moisture to our parched soil.

Pretty warm Sunday, around 90 F. The new greenhouse registered in at off-the-scale (over 120, surprised the cheap thermometer didn't break!) so had to open its windows. Freak temp day for the area!

It's only mid-April, yet Spring Fever has gotten me itching to get plants outside. Alas, not yet, even with the greenhouse. May 1st at the least I think.

We should be getting cooler by this weekend, and we'll also be getting some (much needed) rain Sunday/Monday. I REALLY doubt there'll be any freezes from now on.

That 120° reading MAY be accurate, although it wouldn't be considered official unless some conditions were met (the placement of the thermometer would determine that - like shade, and height off the ground, etc.).

Very true. The cheapy thermometer reading 100+ is near the top of the wall, in the corner, with its back to the sun yet mostly shaded.

A foot or two under that is the outdoor remote strapped with velcro to the pole, and inside that was reading 96.5. My new handheld surface temp gun confirmed that both were correct, but it still doesn't tell me exactly what the temp is inside.

Being that it's about 78 out now, in the shade, according to my trusty old analog outdoor thermometer, and even with 3 of the 4 windows in the greenhouse open, it's definitely warmer in there.

This was taken just after noon today, with me facing the sun's direction.

Well, I still have to see if I do well or not - the delicate plants aren't out there yet. wink Some new things to consider with a greenhouse is watering (since rain won't get in, tho, the moisture should be retained better), and pollination w/o insects. While I can leave the doors open for the latter, that defeats half the purpose of having it (to deter the squirrels from digging through all the pots!). lol So it should be interesting....

Well, since it's supposed to be as hot as Hades over the next 2-3 days here in Vitelli Territory, I decided to get enough food to last the duration and plan on basically hibernating unless something major comes up.

Luckily, in the building where I live, it takes 2-3 days for the weather to work its way through the brickwork and affect the temperature within my apartment.

Of course, the reverse is also true: after it becomes nearly unbearable within my domicile, the outside temperature will go down to tolerable levels while I may still be roasting within and seriously considering putting my portable air conditioners into any and all available windows.

Any way you look at it, the predicted 97°F SUCKS!

I am dreading the thought that I might actually have to briefly go out later. Will do all I can to avoid it, but it might be necessary. Yuk.

I don't do nearly as well in extreme heat as I used to when I was younger. I was thinking of declaring this a personal "clothing optional" day, but I don't think the neighbors (not to mention the local police) would appreciate it. whistle

Some BIG thunderstorms just went through..... HEAVY rain with lots of thunder/lightning. The temperature dropped 25 degrees within 10 minutes!!

I'm sure the temps will rise again once the storms are completely through but the back of the heatwave has been broken! clap

Perfect weather here too.

Yesterday my son had a baseball tournament at Gettysburg College, which is almost an hour away from my home. He had three hours between games and the weather was extremely nice, so we had a quick lunch and went to the battlefield. There is actually an "auto tour" where you can drive around the field and stop at various monuments and such. We parked the car and while overhearing a tour guide telling a group of tourists how the South first approached Gettysburg from the hill behind us, my son and I got the same idea. We went to the hill and sprinted down the field. Of course, I finally caught up to him when he was almost a mile from our starting point. I was gassed and thought I was about to be the last casualty of the war..

The deluge hit here around 8:00 this morning. Lots of thunder and lightning to go with all the rain. Unbelievable! frown

Because of a shitty repaving job on my street a couple of years ago, the asphalt level is now too high in many spots where the sidewalk curb meets the paved road - in other words, the sidewalks were partially underwater in just a few minutes.

I was seriously considering building an Ark, but within an hour things had subsided to a very light drizzle. And a good thing too, because that's when I had to leave and keep an important appointment.

I don't mind a little rain (well, actually, I do...), but this morning was frightening.

It continues to be perfect here in SoCal. Normally June is overcast but not so this June (for the most part). Temps are in the low/mid 80's sunny and clear (no smog). smile

However, it's predicted to get well into the 90's by the weekend/next week so I know the triple digits are not far behind.

Well, it wasn't a goodnight..or morning. See that really dark red section? It clobbered us. Worst storm I've ever experienced...worse than wimpy Hurricane Irene last year. It hit around 2 am. Non-stop lightening, a couple of near direct hits. Wind and rain pounded the windows. I've been without power since. I'm writing this from work. No damage to my house, but there are thousands of trees down...on houses, cars, driveways, roads. Poles snapped and dangling from the wires. The storm is called a "derecho". It moves fast - 50-60 mph, and has high winds and lightening. Atlantic County got pounded. Wind gusts were 50-80 mph. As of yesterday 120,000 people without power. They are looking at July 4th to have the majority back. 400 utility crews from north Jersey are helping out. Mother Nature was a bitch.

Scraping in September!? Not is South Jersey....lots of dew. We hit 49 degrees last week; that was our low, but tonight might be lower.

All those on the northeast coast might want to start monitoring the hurricane. It's looking more and more likely that the NYC metro area (at least along the coast) is going to be affected by the storm. If (and it's a big "IF") all these fall in line it may get pretty bad around here. I'm even thinking of buying a portable camping stove in the event that we lose power for a few days. Last year I went a whole week without electricity, and that meant no stove, too.

klydon may even be looking at a big snowfall. Some weather models are saying that Mary Cas' area may be the landfall spot. What is looking particularly bad is that the storm will linger for awhile, compared to usual 6-8 hour durations.

Last year we got our biggest snowfall of the year in late October. I think the only other measurable snowfall we got was about 4 inches in January. I'm beginning to forget was snow is like.

Anyway, SC, whether or not snow is coming, I'm refusing to bring out the winter coat. wink

Toms River is South Jersey, though.

I don't consider it "South Jersey" -- that's where the piney's like MaryCas live! wink

The Parkway spans the entire state, N-S, for 172 miles, and TR is practically dead-center of that. And technically only the most southern portions of Ocean County may be considered "South Jersey"... so TR is in "Central Jersey"

Since my county is "in between", and basically equidistant from both NYC and Philly, it's a grey area. If you're a Philly sports fan, you're in South Jersey wink

i just found out about this storm today. i usually pay close attention to the weather but since all of my gardening is done for the year i haven't. this gets me kinda nervous, not so much for the wind but for the rain. our property backs up to the manasquan river, and last year with irene it was pretty fuckin close. a few hours more of rain and we would've been fucked. wait and see i guess as these models change almost daily. i hope the landfall happens way farther up the coast near maine as the extra time over cool water will further weaken the storm, not to mention there are FAR less people up there!

Re: What's the weather like today? (2011) - 10/25/12 06:44 PM

The hurricane and its effects will be heightened by a frontal system moving in. This could be a two or three day event.

Get to the supermarket early and buy non-perishable foodstuff. Gas up your cars and get extra if you have a generator. Be prepared to be without electricity for a few days, at least.

All today - or technically, yesterday - the weather forecasters were using phrases like "once in a lifetime storm" and really piling it on. The governors of a bunch of states in this area have already declared their states disaster areas before the storm gets anywhere near - all the governors, that is, except New Jersey's Governor Christie. What does he think is gonna happen? One giant whoosh from his mighty lungs and the storm will be pushed, whimpering, out to sea?

To be honest, it seems the bigger the growl, the smaller the bite. Last year's "horror" was supposed to pass right over my house -- I never lost power (on my street, the rest of the neighborhood did!). I know North Jersey got bad flooding, etc, but I was fine. At "ground zero".

Now I might be "ground zero" again -- and while I can hope for the best, and a repeat of last year's eh (here), I have to prepare for the worst.

Since I just got my iPhone 5 the other day (and Apple changed their plugs), I had to go out today to buy a new car charger ($30) which doesn't even include the new cable ($20) to plug into it! I also picked up a UPS (Battery Backup, which is normally used for computers during a power outage; I'm hoping it'll work to recharge my phone in the event of an extended power outage). Another $65. ohwell

Tomorrow I'll be tackling the masses for supplies that won't be on the shelves any more. If the power goes out, that means canned crap. Good think I love eating mini ravioli right out of the can lol wink Batteries, candles, ice (and liquor to pour onto it), and I should be okay.

Don't think I'll need to buy too much Halloween candy this year, which is good, since I still have plenty left over from last year. rolleyes (NO, I will not hand that out!) ...and the "2nd largest Halloween Parade in the world" (Guinness Book) here is scheduled for Wednesday, with Thursday being the rain date. Hmmm.

LOL I know. When I talk to my family in MI and tell them the temp, they'd say the same thing. I don't expect sympathy from them or anyone back east. lol

When we first moved to CA, I literally threw out all my winter coats, bringing with me light jackets. We moved in late Sept. When I walked my kids to the corner for the school bus, I'd see kids in winter coats, scarves, hats, etc. I'd laugh at them thinking, it's not cold at all. Well, fast forward a couple years and I am one of those people I laughed at. lol I guess it's true and your blood thins or something.

And still the snow bleaches down. A woman weather forecaster has just been telling me that south west England and Wales are facing a lot of snow today but it is easing eveywhere else???? In the frozen North where i come from it has been snowing heavily for days but never a mention of us!!! We even got the cold weather 4 days before the south, but the moment a snowflake lands on Heathrow runway and the Queen fells a chill up her bloomers the BBC go into "weather hell" meltdown. They have no clue at all...and yes it pisses me off royally smile

It has been gorgeous and unseasonably warm, getting to 80 and will be the next couple days before it cools down and we get more rain. This kind of day reminds me of WHY I moved to CA. You just can't beat the weather.

You'd appreciate this, MaryCas. I was driving from my home to Wilkes-Barre yesterday afternoon to bring something to my son at college. It was sunny and mild when I left the Harrisburg area, but an hour later as I was passing Hazleton, temps dropped to the low 20s and a few flurries started. I met my son a half hour later as snow was picking up. We went out for a quick slice of pizza and a visit. I got back to the highway as a full blizzard started. It took me 3 hours to drive the 40 miles from WB to Frackville where the snow had suddenly stopped. I drove the last 50 miles and there was no sign of a snowflake.

COULD be a MAJOR snowstorm here in the New York area starting tomorrow. The latest computer models are showing the POSSIBILITY of 20 inches of snow in the area. The tv weathermen are talking about 6-10 inches generally but those amounts will likely be raised soon. Suffolk County (just to the east of me) is now under a Blizzard Watch.

That sure was a LOT of snow!

I'm watching some local tv coverage of the storm here on Long Island. They showed some live coverage of about 40 people, or so, being rescued from their stranded cars on the Long Island Expressway. These people were stuck in their cars since 11:00 last night in an area that was buried under 30 inches of snow. Many of these people had called 911 and they were basically told to just sit there until help came. Firefighters responded 12 hours later!! eek

We got about a foot here. It must have stopped earlier than they predicted. I headed up to bed around 1 in the morning, and the 12" ruler we had stuck in the snow was almost buried. We only got about another inch after that. They had forecasted snow until 10 in the morning, so it must have ended a lot earlier than that.

There has been some weird cold going around here. It gets stuck in your chest/throat area and lasts for weeks. I'm going on week 3 and I'm told it can last for 6 weeks. I don't feel bad and have not other symptoms, but between noon and 5pm I get this horrible sounding cough and spit up a little bit of phlegm. More vodka.

Weather was great today - hit 58; rain or snow on the way.

When we decided to move from MI to CA I got rid of all our winter coats. smile I figured we'd never need them. I remember walking my daughter to school and seeing all these people (kids & adults) with heavy coats, scarves, etc. I'd laugh to myself thinking, what idiots. You call this cold? lol Hell, we were going to the beach in Oct./Nov. (as empty as they were that time of year, except for surfers) Afterall, 70 was summer to us.

Within two years or maybe less, I found myself getting cold very easily and didn't take long for me to become one of these "idiots" who is cold at 60 degrees. lol

I've had a gray Columbia coat for years for when the temps get really frigid, and a more formal black overcoat, which I never wear.

Freakin' Weather Channel competes with itself... probably so it's never wrong.

Site says 3-5", its own app says 1-2" at the same place/time... and glancing at the map (not as a meteorologist, of course), I'm with the latter.

I just want a Spring like I remembered as a youth.. not this Winter into Summer b.s.! But a month or two of mild temps... rather than 30° then 80° ohwell

TIS, it's been the endless winter. We were in the 30s here with high wind gusts and pouring rain on Friday. It's totally sucked. The forsythia, which normally bloom in March, didn't begin to bloom until this week. We are a good 3-4 weeks behind what I would consider the signs of spring.

New Jersey just broke its record for pollen count: 11,000 parts per cubic something or other. An average Spring pollen is suppose to be around 5,000. People who never had allegies were even suffering. The pine tree pollen is so thick it can almost look like a fog outside. The cars are coated with with a yellow-green dust. Much of the blame goes to the wet autumn - Hurricane Sandy.

Oh yea FS, you got that right. Years back when my parents would visit in the summer, it would get high 90s or so and they'd say the same thing, "I thought it was dry heat, no humidity." But, you're right HOT IS HOT!!! smile

I just talk to a good friend in Las Vegas and him and his wife say that it is so hot right now that you can't even step outside on the astro turf without burning your feet.

It is not only hot but the strong sun will toast you very quickly if not protected or careful.

Even the cat refused to go out. lol

Grabbing a metal car door handle or a seatbelt latch will burn you if it has been in the sun very long.

FS mentions Vegas though. I gotta say, I have been there in the summer and it IS HOT!!! The upside..... cheap rooms, less crowded, more free drinks and little perks. But to walk down the street...even at midnight??? You roast your ass off. lol

Good for you TIS, but here is a little runner's advice I heard years ago; it is not advisable to run when the humidity and temperature combined exceed 160. So 80 degrees and 80 humidity is the limit.

We're into the monsoon season here in the High Desert. Daily, highly localized, periods of heavy rain at T-storms. Yesterday we had a cloudburst here that must have put over an inch in less than an hour. My property was covered with marble-sized hailstones 2 inches deep.

same here. We're in the high 90s with terrible humidity. I left a couple of muffins in a plastic package in my car. The heat had expanded the air in the package so much that the packages popped. The muffins were just as though they'd been taken out of the oven.

It's too hot here in the East - 95, 96, 97 degrees. You don't want to be outside. Yech. I pity the highway, construction and utility workers. In my younger days, I was a lineman and splicer for NY Telephone. These kind of days were brutal. Climb a pole oozing creasote, belt in and transfer cables from the old pole to the new. Sweat, sweat, sweat.

We have been hearing all the utility companies up in the Northeast are calling for line crews in case that bad weather acts up. I'm hoping we're on the call list so I can fly up that way to help out if so.

It is only 86 and muggy here in the Deep South today which is about 10 degrees below what it should be for this time of year so we've been lucky so far. We are getting kinda soggy though.

Last night around 11:30 pm we had a wicked lightning storm. One bolt was near our house. The light and CRACK were simultaneous. No wind really. So dixie, I don't think you will be coming to South Jersey....maybe later this year when the hurricanes start moving.

I remember when I lived in MI, it could be 100 one day and 70 the next. You don't get that here in CA. Very very unlikely that the temp drops that drastically. We know it'll be in the 80s or whatever, with slight/gradual drops/gains in temps.

My father use to always joke with me when I'd say how great the weather is. He'd say "how boring, same thing every day, every day with no variety." lol

Probably as I post this, it'll change BUT we've had great weather here. We had that short spree of triple digits about a month ago but not since. Usually July & August are many triple digit days. It's been mid to high 80's and looks like we'll finish the month with those temps. smile I haven't had to run my air much at all. Then again we have Aug/Sept to deal with yet.

This is the weather Saturday, Sept. 7, 2013. That is the Atlantic City skyline. Photo was taken from Wildlife Drive in the Edwin Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge. The Drive is an 8 mile loop that goes out into the Absecon and Reed Bay. I rode my bike out on the loop. Its a packed sand road. Along the ride you see a variety of bird life: egrets, herons, ducks, gulls, and turtles, crabs and fish. Very peaceful. It was a perfect weather day - 72 degrees, a whisper of a wind and as you can see, a couple of tiny clouds. That shiny reflection in the midst of the skyline is Boardwalk Hall. It has a curved glass roof. The Miss America contest will be held there is weekend.

I'm 100 miles from Kly, and 7 miles from the ocean, but we are in the same weather system, fondly referred to as a Nor'easter. The winds and rain are similar to a hurricane, but the winds are less - maybe 25-50 mph. The bad thing about Nor'easters is that they can stall or move slowly. They can hang around for a few days like this one. Causes flooding and beach erosion.

Nice day here in South Jersey. Our town just dedicated a new town park - 150+ acres. Was the site of an illegal sand-mining site. In South Jersey there were glass factories that need sand for making glass. I took a nice 2 mile walk around the lake. Its nice to have parkland rather than commercial development.

Today and yesterday, torrential rain. Last night, just around 9 pmish our recycling bin got caught in a gust of wind and blown into the street on it's side. The glass container on top fell into the street and all my wife's empty wine bottles shattered on the road. In the pouring rain I had to go out and sort it all out.

I know the feeling, Yogi. On Sundays we usually have several friends, who drop by in the late afternoon and early evening, to eat, drink and watch football. Monday night the trash goes out and the recycling bin is often teeming with wine and beer bottles. After windy nights I'm often running around at dawn on tuesday retrieving bottles from the street and neighbors' yards.

I had to drive out to western PA yesterday. The elevations around Altoona were tricky with the snow, ice and freezing rain. Plenty of cars had spun off the highway. A trucker and I stopped to help an elderly couple back onto the road after sliding near an embankment. It was a good day for tow truck operators.

I prefer that ride starting from 322 past Lewistown and State College to 99 rather than taking the PA Turnpike to Bedford and Somerset even though it is a little longer. The mountains are scenic, always tempting me in the Fall to pull over and take it all in.


There is a town about 15 miles north of Altoona right off 99, called Tyrone. It's nestled in the mountainside and is easily observed from the highway. It must have been vibrant over a hundred years ago as old railroads met there and the area is rich in lumber, but whenever I pass the dusty old town that reminds me of some of the coal towns where I grew up, I want to pull off the exit and visit it..

Glyshaw moved to Michigan 14 years ago from Novosibirsk, Russia’s largest city in its Siberian region, where temperatures average 4 below in the winter. “In Siberia, I used to walk 40 minutes one-way to work, and I was fine,” she said. “Here, I’m outside 15 minutes to clean the car and I’m already cold. ... This winter has really kicked me. I think I need my Siberian winter clothes again.”...

Wow,, great pics Lilo.

I may be in sunny California but living in MI for 32 years I DO remember it well. (It's THIS time of year I am so glad I'm here LOL)

I saw the GA pics and I thought GA must not be use to "real" snow. Heck, I'll be first to admit here in CA, all it takes is a drizzle for the freeways to come to a crawl. lol I can only imagine 1 or 2 inches of snow.

We woke up yesterday to a world of snow encased in ice. When I got home from work, the plow had already run through our neighborhood and blocked every driveway in a thick and high wall of ice, which is less preferable than the snow and ice on the road.

Incredibly warm winter so far, here in the High Desert. Normal daytime highs this time of year are low 50's. High expected on Friday: 74. Nighttime lows: 29. No precip either, which is going to make for a dangerous fire season. Last year, we lost 19 firefighters in a tragic wildfire just south of here.

Four Michigan Cities Among America's Snowiest

Quote:
Syracuse, N.Y., is in danger of losing its title as the snowiest big city in America.

The Salt City in central New York had 81 inches of snow as of Monday to rank fourth in the race to win the Golden Snow Globe competition. Erie, Pa., is the runaway leader with 107.5 inches. Buffalo, N.Y., is second with 94.4 inches.

But four Michigan cities are giving the others a run for their money in the contest among cities with populations over 100,000.

Grand Rapids ranks third with 92.2 inches, Ann Arbor ranks sixth with 71.7 inches, Detroit is at seven with 70.8 inches and Flint comes in at nine with 63.9 inches...

That is pretty much where we are now, TIS. The "wall" of snow surrounding my driveway is about 5 ft high. We are in the middle of another freeze so nothing will change for a while. But next week there's supposed to be a warm up so hopefully all this stuff will be gone.

Plus, I'd warm my car up for 10/15 mins before I got in it so it would be nice & toasty. LOL Of course gas wasn't $4/5 a gallon back then.

That is the worst part of it. After you dig out, the dreaded plow clears the road and leaves a mountain of packed snow to block the driveway, and if you don't remove it promptly, it freezes solid.

You guys are having a particularly crappy winter - ice, snow, ice, snow. The areas around Philly are running out of road salt and it looks like another ice event is coming tonight. We're hoping for all rain out here on the coast, but it is a Nor'easter and they are talking about 40-50 mph wind gusts.

I saw that and laughed. The mayor said that his decision to keep the schools open was consistent with the meteorolical forecasts. I guess every other school district in the tri-state area read it wrong.

Windy and the low sixties here in the High Desert, near the end of the Winter that Wasn't.

Arizona is the state where you can get four seasons in a day. Yesterday's state high was 89, low 10.

All is going well in Germany TIS thank you.

Been here around 8 months now and am about settled in, working full time and going to evening school to learn German, i been learning for about 8 years but now i have too full time if im living here. German for me is a very hard language to learn, im getting by and picking it up everyday but its not grammatically right but that will hopefully come in time.

We got a dusting of snow and temps were very cold this morning. A few days ago I was pulled over due to a faulty brake light. They give you a week to fix it and show them the working light at the station to avoid a citation.

I replaced the light lasnight and brought it to the station. I asked an officer to come outside, see the repair, and wipe me from the citation list. He said, "You fixed it?" I said that I did. He then said, "That's good enough for me. Too cold to walk outside just to see a light."

Smart cop Kly. BTW, have you ever seen a cop pull someone over in during a rainy day to give them a ticket for not having their headlights on? NO! What cop wants to get wet for something like that?

Woke up to 4 inches of snow, a driveway of ice and 30 degrees. The sun is doing a nice job of cleaning up the mess....but its very windy.

We had an earthquake last night around 9:00 p.m. I did feel this one, with two quick shakes one after another. I sort of froze and then it ended. Turns out it was a 5.1 centering in L.A. area. Yea, freaks you out for a minute or two. panic By the time you freak out tho, it's over.

EARTHQUAKE! I can understand the "freak out", thankfully all is OK. A couple of years ago we had one in NJ - I think it was centered in Maryland, but it was a creepy feeling.

Yay, finally warm temps.....and a soaking rain all weekend. We can't win.

Yesterday hit 60 degrees. I played 9 holes of golf. First swing of the clubs since November. First hole drive down the middle, 2nd shot 190 yds, I'm 10 yards from the green, chip on to within 3 feet, make the par! The next eight holes were bogeys, doubles and a triple. I should have quit after the first hole lol

Mary a "local" Yes this time of year it is like that often. Don't know how old you are (and i will not ask)but the weather had changed here .But back in the late 50s on through to 70 in winter we had snow" on the streets for days.Now it is gone quick" ,if it is not Jersey juice (rain)for the "shoobies" ...
And then like you said hot" out in the woods and cool here,but back in the day it was cool here in July compared to E.H.T.
But i love it here lots to do...
And yes where did we get the "off shore" any place else on the coast that would mean out in the ocean.Have you ever thought about that ?

I'm about 300 miles from the coast, I'm halfway (almost) between Birmingham and Atlanta. When hurricanes go due North (like Ivan) we get put under hurricane watches/warnings even here. So we get everything here, tornadoes, thunderstorms, snow/ice, and humid unbearable heat come summer.

Gorgeous here in my area, with high expected 91. Suppose to cool down about 10 degrees by tomorrow. It's clear, sunny and beautiful. smile

That being said, for those in the San Diego area it's been a nightmare with at least two fires. I haven't heard update today, but last I heard it was only 50% contained. With this kind of heat, and with lack of any substantial rain, fires spread so easily.

I had to go to Pinehurst Friday for a medical appointment and not only was it hot and muggy, but traffic was horrendous. Many people walked miles just to get up there without dealing with the traffic. Also, we also have a week of 90's coming up.

Yeah, we're in New York, MC. Although it was probably just as hot here as it was in Florida today. But in all fairness, I was working in the yard this afternoon. So maybe it wasn't quite as hot as I made it out to be.

At any rate, rain tomorrow morning should cool things off smile .

It's been like this since the weather changed it seems like. Was hoping we'd get a storm just to cool down but still just as hot and sticky today as it was yesterday. It's 88 with a 73 dewpoint as I type so it's even muggier today. Going to be miserable once we hit the high today. Luckily it's only supposed to be 90

My family thinks I'm crazy when I visit MI and am happy when I hear there will be a thunder storm. lol Something is neat, especially at night, muting the tv, turning out the lights and listening to the thunder/rain.

My dad use to tease me about the nice weather here in CA. He'd jokingly say "don't you get sick of the same thing day after day?"

Hurricane season is underway down here, you guys north of us need to keep an eye on this storm.

http://www.weather.com/news/weather-hurricanes/tropical-depression-one-20140626

Key Takeaways
•A tropical depression has formed off the Florida coast, and is expected to strengthen.
•A tropical storm watch is in effect from Fort Pierce north to just south of Flagler Beach on the east coast of Florida.
•This system will likely track near parts of the Eastern Seaboard from Florida to North Carolina this Fourth of July holiday week.
•All residents from eastern Florida to the Mid-Atlantic coast should monitor the progress of this system.

Tropical Depression One is located about 100 miles southeast of Cape Canaveral, Florida. It's the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season's first tropical depression.

While wind shear has lessened, some residual residual dry air near and to the north of the surface circulation, has not allowed convection to persist near the center. Most thundershowers associated with this depression have remained south of the surface center, particularly into the northwest Bahamas.

Re: What's the weather like today? (2011-2012) - 07/02/14 12:43 PM

We're approaching the monsoon season here in the High Desert. Winds shift, temperature gets hotter, humidity rises, and we get frequent, often heavy, highly localized storms and thunderstorms for about two months. Oh, do we need them: hasn't rained here since April 27. Less than one inch of rain has fallen since January 1.

East Coast eyes tropical storm ahead of holiday weekend

By Associated Press

CHARLESTON, S.C. — As one of the year’s busiest travel weekends approaches, so does another visitor: Tropical Storm Arthur, expected to grow into a hurricane by the Fourth of July and hit most harshly at North Carolina’s Outer Banks, a popular getaway spot of thin barrier islands along the shore.

The first named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season prompted a hurricane warning for a wide swath of the North Carolina coast and had officials, hotel owners and would-be vacationers as far north as New England carefully watching forecasts.

The Outer Banks will be especially vulnerable, forecasters said. The area’s tourism agency expects about 250,000 people to travel there and stay in hotels and rental homes for the long holiday weekend.

“We want everybody to be safe and prepared, but we are not overly concerned at this point,” said Lee Nettles, the executive director the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau. He noted that forecasters were predicting the storm would move fast and be less severe than others in locals’ memories.

But flooding concerns remained: Twice in recent years, storm-driven waves have sliced North Carolina Route 12, the main road along the islands, rendering it unpassable. On Ocracoke Island, accessible only by ferry, a voluntary evacuation was announced.

Stores saw runs on generators, lanterns and flashlights, but even some workers weren’t yet concerned.

“I’ve been through Irene. I went through Isabelle,” said Bill Motley, who works at Ace Hardware in Nags Head has lived on the Outer Banks for 13 years. “I’m not even worried about this one. I’m more worried about my tomato plants. With the wind coming, if we get a 50-mph gust, it will knock over my tomato plants.”

At a news conference, Gov. Pat McCrory advised residents, “Don’t put your stupid hat on.” With concerns of rip tides, he urged surfers and swimmers not to get in the water regardless of how good the waves might be.

“Our major goal is to ensure that no lives are lost during this upcoming storm,” including those of emergency workers, McCrory said. He declared a state of emergency for 25 coastal and adjoining counties.

Nancy Janitz, 60, of Jacksonville, North Carolina, said she was ready, thanks to technology.


‘I’m not even worried about this one. I’m more worried about my tomato plants. With the wind coming, if we get a 50-mph gust, it will knock over my tomato plants.’

- North Carolina resident Bill Motley

“I have my NOAA radio, and I keep tabs on Twitter and Facebook for updates,” she said. “I’m as prepared as I can possibly be.”

On Wednesday afternoon, Arthur was about 220 miles (355 kilometers) south of Charleston and moving north about 7 mph (11 kph) with maximum sustained winds of 60 mph (95 kph). The National Hurricane Center predicted it would grow to a Category 1 hurricane with sustained winds of at least 74 mph either late Wednesday or sometime Thursday.

The forecast did not call for a landfall in the U.S., but officials and travelers north to New England kept an eye on the storm’s projected path. Many areas warned of upcoming rain, wind and potential rip tides.

The worst of the storm should occur at Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, about dawn Friday, with 3 to 5 inches of rain and sustained winds up to 85 mph, said Tony Saavedra, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service. But forecasters said that by later Friday, the effects of Arthur would be past the Outer Banks, with the rest of the weekend salvaged.

The Hurricane Center predicted the storm would be off the coast of New England later in the day and eventually make landfall in Canada’s maritime provinces as a tropical storm.

In the Myrtle Beach area, the heart of South Carolina’s $18 billion tourism industry, Arthur was expected to move in by Thursday night, spinning wind gusts from 40 to 50 mph toward the high-rise hotels and condominiums lining the oceanfront.

Farther south, in Hilton Head Island on the state’s southern tip, most were confident would pass well out at sea.


“It will be a sold-out weekend,” said Charlie Clark, a spokeswoman for the local Chamber of Commerce. “… We’re not getting calls from visitors asking what’s up with this storm.”

Back on North Carolina’s storm-tested Hatteras Island, one longtime resident said she had stocked up on supplies but was otherwise unfazed by Arthur’s approach.

Even though Dawn Taylor had to put coolers on the top floor of her home in Avon to catch the rain after Hurricane Irene damaged the roof in 2011, she won’t leave her home because of a hurricane. And certainly not this one. Even her 85-year-old father is staying put with her.

And her advice to less experienced tourists? Think twice before riding things out on the island.

“It’s not their environment. They’re not used to it,” she said. “It’s a whole different world out here, a whole different lifestyle.”

Killer lightning-thunder at 2am. One strike was so close that it only made a CRACK noise and the light was intensely bright. It tripped one circuit in my bedroom and the central air. I went downstairs to check the circuits but none of the breakers were tripped, but I reset the Air Condition circuits and the bedroom. Now here is the weird thing. I went in the laundry room and on both the washer and the dryer all the led lights were on. There must have been a massive surge. This morning I checked the side of the house and everything seemed normal.

Scary stuff, MC. I had the same line of storms move through my area yesterday about noon (there was a tornado warning issued at the same time). I was watching the storm as it moved in and was amazed at one particular lightning bolt. It was extremely bright and it "cracked" at the instant of happening. The thunder was EXTREMELY loud. The electricity went out a few minutes later and remained out for two hours. The storm(s) continued for as long.

Yes, that's really scary. Out here, lightning is a major cause of wildfires.

We are getting some rain here in the sand hills region of NC but my daughter lives near Wrightsville beach (Near Wilmington) and she said the wind and rain is severe. She said a tornado touched down on the campus of UNC-Wilmington just a little while ago. Arthur is predicted to hit the area tonight but Friday the weather is supposed to be "Beautiful"

I saw that on Channel 7 News. Couldn't believe it!! eek Massapequa got over 8 inches of rain in just a few hours.

That part of western Suffolk is roughly the exact same area that got bombed with three feet of snow two years ago. Hundreds of cars were completely buried in drifts on the LIE.

Scary stuff. (Another repeat of last winter - cold and very snowy - is forecast for this year).

It's really bizarre. I mean, ten inches of rain? That's Biblical right there.

Think about that. When we get a normal pounding rain that lasts for a day or two, they usually come up with an inch and a half or two inches when they report it. But eight or ten inches in a matter of hours? eek

And thanks for breaking the good news about the snow that's in store for us this year lol.

You may be right about that SC. I hear it's going to be another brutal winter. I was in NY/NJ in early March. All I heard from my family was I am so sick and tired of the snow. I loved it because it was 90's in Jan by me and about 80 or so in March which is just too HOT for my blood.

Yea, but I was bitching the whole time, cursing MI weather. I hated walking in the snow. Before I left for work, I'd start the car and let it run for 10/15 minutes til it got nice & toasty when I got in it. Ha ha. Don't know how I didn't just shrivel up and die. lol

Well, I'm from MI originally but must admit even here in CA I'm a big sissy when it's cold. LOL It has to be in the 100s before I'll go swimming. ha ha ha! What can I say. I chill easily. Always have.

That being said, when we first moved here to CA it was fall. We saw school kids waiting for the bus with winter coats on. We laughed at what babies for wearing winter coats in California. lol Heck, I got rid of all my family's heavy winter coats before we moved here. Well, let me tell you, the next winter or so, I was one of those people wearing a winter coat and so were my kids as I walked them to the bus stop. Ha ha ha

Oh, and with all that being said, I have NEVER EVER missed Michigan winters. I will keep saying the best thing about CA is the weather. smile

Not only is it too early for this, but these weather shifts are insane. It was 20 degrees three days ago and 70 degrees yesterday. And it's supposed to get close to 60 again by the middle of next week. But we're only supposed to get 1 to 3 inches here in the City tomorrow. Thank God for small favors.

I was already at Waldbaums out in College Point this morning. There's the toll each way but it's a nice store and it's just easier than fighting traffic up in Westchester. Anyway, between the Thanksgiving shoppers, and the little old ladies killing each other over milk and eggs for the snow, I don't think I've seen a supermarket any busier on Christmas Eve (although the South Florida Publix stores can give them a run during Passover).

I was gonna say that you're lucky that you're in such a small town now. But I guess it's all relative because the stores are smaller, too. I've been to Price Chopper and those chains in mid-state New York during the winter, and they're every bit as crazy as they are down here. So good luck lol.

The map shows 12-18" in Mass. L.I. looks like 3-5". I think we are going to escape with only rain...which its doing now. I played 9 holes yesterday; 57 degrees and a slight breeze. Could only manage 1 par. Two other greens I was on in 2 and 3 putted mad , although they were 50 footers lol.

Fucking snowing like crazy. VERY treacherous traveling conditions. I ended up skidding off the road this morning and ended up in a drainage ditch. Three other cars, within 50 yards of me, joined me in the ditch.

Cost me $150 to get towed out but I'm thankful I didn't get hurt and there was no damage to my car.

12 inches of snow is expected by the time it's all done tonight. Already have half on that on the ground.

I told you to do the shopping yesterday!

We only have an inch or two down here. But it's very "heavy" because it's mixed with rain and ice. The roads are a mess.

And how's this for an antiquated expression? My father's here and his hips are bothering him because of the dampness. I made him take a prescription painkiller and he had a glass of wine on top of it. He just yelled that I got him "all hopped up on goofballs" so he'd fall asleep early lol.

This is my life right now lol.

Cold and overcast here with an Winter Weather Advisory for tonight (two inches of snow and a layer of ice and freezing rain expected).

You did the right thing. You have nothing tying you down in the City or Long Island, the cost of living is peanuts compared to what it is down here, and the solitude is very inviting.

My brother just turned 50 himself. He's a hunter (I'm not, although I have done it), and he has a cabin in Liberty. But he bought it when he was still in his 30's. I've used it before, and I'll say this much, it's nearly impossible to get stressed out up there.

Coincidentally that is where the dinner is tonight (in Liberty). It's only ten minutes away from me but the idea of driving on icy roads scares the shit out of me now.

You're right about the area being wonderful for my lifestyle, though. It's so much more laidback up here.

The area roads are a skating rink. Iced covered by freezing rain. Numerous reports of accidents and cars sliding off the roads (including police cars). Many roads are closed and a few power outages are being reported already. Still supposed to get 6-12" of snow tonight into tomorrow.
